"Babe. Gimme kiss so I can go." Morgan walked up behind me in the kitchen.

I turned around and stood against the counter. "Where you going?"

"SoSo wanted me to meet her at the mall."

"Well So is just gon' have to wait. My mama on the way home."

"Okay?"

"It's the weekend. She's off work, you don't have a job or shit else to do, let's make this a meet and greet, yeah?"

"Actually I do have other stuff to do."

"Like what?" I tilted my head to the side and waited for her answer.

"Chris I just told you what I have planned. You can't just tell me I can't go and expect me to cancel it like that."

"Baby please stay for a little while longer and meet my mama. Just so she can leave me alone about you. And then you can leave and do ya lil' girl shit at the mall with So."

I placed my hands on her face and bent down to kiss the tip of her nose. She closed her eyes and opened them with a roll.

"What I tell you 'bout that shit?"

"Shut up and let me tell Sochitta I have to stay here a little longer." She pulled away from me and grabbed her phone. "Jerk."

"I'm a jerk? You ain't ever lie. But aye, do me a favor. Call me jerk one more time." I rapped and started doing the dance.

She pushed me and went back in the living room. I'm a jerk but she just pushed me for no reason. Oh, okay.

I sat beside her on the couch and waited for my mama to walk through the door.

"Stink!"

Morgan laughed and I snapped my head in her direction.

"That was funny to you?"

"No." She straightened up and shook her head.

"Stink where you at?"

"In the living room." I answered.

"Oh, I was about to say. Your car is outside so where why aren't you here." She went on with how if I wasn't here then I should've called to let her know where I was and what time I was coming home.

"Ma."

"What?"

"Look." I motioned towards Morgan. "She's here."

"Morgan? You're Morgan?"

"Yes ma'am." She stood up and held her hand out.

"It's nice to finally meet you." My mama smiled at her. "All Chris does is talk about you, girl. When he wakes up in the mornings, he's like, Ma hurry up and finish talking so I can go to Morgan. And when gets home...if he comes home straight after school, I ask where he's been and he's like, Oh, I was with Morgan and the boys. But mostly Morgan. Ma I think I love her for real. And I'm just like-"

"You've said enough." I cut her off. "And you gassed the whole thing."

"Gassed? What does that mean?"

"He's saying you exaggerated everything." Morgan laughed. "I believe it though. He's such a baby."

"Morgan, seriously?"

"What? I'm lying?" She jerked her head back. "Chris don't act brand new."

"Bye."

I got up to go upstairs but Morgan grabbed my hand, pulling me back to her.
