christmas
ahriah

It was finally christmas and I was just happy I was with my brother. Manny and I were the only ones up. It was seven thirty in the morning and were sitting by the christmas tree with our onesies on.

"When you think they gon' wake up?" Manny asked.

"Dre should be up by now, I don't know about Jai."

On que Dre came out along with Jaicyon. "Aye Jai? Don't they look like big kids? I mean just look." Dre said.

I had on a spongebob onesie with Christmas trees on it and it also had a Santa Clause hat on spongebob. Manny had on a onesie with the grinch and Christmas trees on it. My hair was in pigtails and we had big smiles on our faces.

"Nah bro you right. Why y'all looking like some five year olds? Rihah take them pony tails out yo' hair & Manny why you got a onesie on? You 21 bro not one," Jaicyon said with his face scrunched up.

"Age ain't nothing but a number," Manny replied.

Jai and Dre looked at eachother and laughed. "You right cause I got more brains than you."

"Nah foo don't play me like that. I graduated high school with honors," Manny said.

"Honors? Don't lie for Arihah. You graduated with a certificate of completion."

"Can we open presents now?" I asked. I could tell Manny was feeling some type of way.

"Yeah go ahead," Dre replied.

I had a lot of clothes, shoes, jewelry, books, phone cases, body lotions, body sprays, new headphones, iPhone 6s+ in  gold, and tickets to see Drake.

After admiring all of my presents, I got up and hugged Dre. "Thank you! You're the best brother a girl can have, I love you."

"I better be," he chuckled. "But I love you too."

"Here's your gift," I handed him the the bag.

Inside the bag there was a black canvas with a sketch of Dre & I on it when I was one and Dre was six. I also got him a Movado watch, and polo cologne.

"This is nice Rih," he smiled admiring the canvas. He looked at the rest of everything and hugged me. "Thank you baby girl," he kissed my forehead.

"You're welcome," I smiled. Manny and Dre were engaging in a conversation so I turned around to see Jai with his head down.

I went over to him. "You okay?" He looked up and nodded his head. "You aren't. It's Christmas, what's wrong?"

"You not gon' give up are you?"

"Nah."

He chuckled a little. He got up and glanced over at Dre and Manny and pulled towards his room.

Once we got in the room and he closed the door, I just stood there. He always closing a door, I thought.

"Sit."
