Anixa was determined to find me the perfect outfit to wear for my baby shower. We were at the mall just chilling and talking.
"So how are you and Brendan?"
"We are okay, he wants me to come meet his family."
"Whoa! How's that gonna go, Jamaican girl, Italian family?"
"I've talked to his mother on the phone and she is really excited to meet me, I can't say the same for his dad."
"Uh oh."
"He wants him with a good Italian girl."
"I'm sure he'll love you though."
"We'll see, I'm going in two weeks home with him."
"Wait where is Brendan from again?"
"Typical, Jersey."
We both fist pumped and started laughing.
"But enough about me, what's the deal with Xavier?"
"There is no deal. Why?"
"I've seen him around, he looks depressed, what'd you do to him?"
"I didn't do anything Anxia, I told him that me and Trey were gonna work on us and he kissed me, he said he loved me and that I was making a mistake."
"Do you think your making a mistake?"
"No."
"That's all that matters."
"So check this. Marcus wants me and Trey to come home so we can meet his girlfriend."
"What!"
"I know. He says they've been serious for like 5 months now and that she really wants to meet us because he talks about us so much."
"What's her name?"
"Natalie."
"When are you guys going to go?"
"Next weekend."
"Definitely let me know how that goes."
"Yeah, I'm gonna go visit my parents gravesites and probably do some shopping for the baby."
"You find an apartment?"
"Yeah Marcus just signed the lease for a complex in Hyattsville, see I'll be 15 minutes away."
"I know but it won't be the same as being neighbors."
"I know."
I pouted. Things were changing for all of us. A lot.
