The cupcakes, cake pops, candy canes, mints were all placed on the table as a snack until the big dinner.
"This is really cute. Thanks for letting me help" Aria spoke up. I was still a bit mad at her for putting me out in the Hampton's but I thought I'd save that conversation for another day.
"Yeah thanks for wanting to help".
There was a knock on the door so I went and answered it.
"Eva baby. Look at you all grown up and more beautiful"my aunt Kendall smiled.

"Thank you auntie".
My aunt Kendall and cousin Shaelyn and India from my Dad's side came down from Detroit. Every year they come down with the best presents.
"Girl you look good in that dress where'd you get it?" India asked.
"Its a secret".
"This house though. What the fuck? How many rooms is it?" Shaelyn asked.
"5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms".
"Look at little Eva getting all grown up and stuff. Damn I remember when we would play at auntie Quesha's house when uncle was at work" Laila Chimed in from the kitchen.
As the house began to get packed with people I noticed there was no sign of bryson. Bryson and Neil gave me one last chance and we all left on a good foot. I walked onto the terrace and called him.
"Hello" I heard a female voice say. I looked at my phone to make sure I was calling the right number.
"Where's Bryson?" I asked.
"He's taking a shower".
"He didn't tell me you were coming out here".
"I noticed he doesn't tell you lots of things".
"And what the fuck is that supposed to mean Ashley".
"Oh nothing" she laughed.
"You know what bitch don't make me come down there and cut yo ass".
"I'd like to see you try it. You don't scare me bitch".
"Oh I got yo bitch. Let me see yo ass on the street. I'll sweep yo ass you got me all the way fucked up".
The phone hung up and I was on the terrace pissed off. I sat on the chair and grabbed my red wine. This shit was about to stop.
"Eva what you doing out here. Get inside the food is done" my God mom Cassandra yelled from the door, her Thai accent thick.
I walked back into the house and everyone was here. My mom's side of the family was here, my dad's side of the family were here and all my close friends.
