Amari

"So you and Jalen must be something serious huh?"

"Not really...I mean I guess." Renée shrugged

"What you mean you guess? Are yall not together?"

She switched her mouth side to side.
"Yeah..kinda. Its just that since Im going to college, we dont wanna become too serious."

I nodded understanding her as I pulled into her driveway.

"Well I'll see you later boo. Tell crimson I said hey."

I chuckled lightly. "Bye Renée."

She blew me a playful kiss and closed the passenger side door before walking inside.

On the way to the house I began to think on how harsh I was to August. I feel like its something we need to fix in our relationship.

Walking inside the house I heard low talking in the living room. I walked inside and saw Kay-Kay and Chandra talking. Once Cha noticed me she smiled weakly.

I frowned a little but shook it off seeing Kay looking at me.

"TT Mar." she said sadly

"Whats wrong Kay?" I asked sitting on the couch

She looked at Cha and Cha looked from her to me.

Cha sighed "I made enough money. And I feel like we over stayed our welcome...so we're moving out."

I was taken back a.little but relaxed in the chair.

"Why? You know you can stay as long as.you want right? I have more that enough money. Plenty of space. Did something happen? What I do?" I tilted my head

Cha chuckled and shook her head "Nothing Mar. I just felt like, we're overstaying."

I shook my head "No, your not Cha. I love you guys over here." I smiled and Kay smiled and squealed.

"So does that mean we can.stay?!"

Cha looked at her and cracked a smile. "I guess so."

"Yay!" she squealed and ran off.

I laughed and looked back at Cha.

She sighed.and ran her hand through her hair.

"Thank you Amari."

I smiled "Its no problem."

"No really, you really are a generous and helpful person. I remember August telling me how cold hearted and bitter you were. But deep inside you are generally a sweetheart. I understand your past and background made you that way. But its okay, we all gotchu Mar. Just relax and be you. Dont pretend to be so hard and hold a hard face. Its okay." she gently caressed my hand.

I tucked my bottom lip in my teeth and stood up. "Uh yeah, thanks." I walked off straight towards the Dance room which was closest and closed and.locked the door.

I walked towards the middle of the floor and stared at myself in the mirror. After a long while of staring I just broke down.

"Come her ladybug."

"Momma why didnt you ever dance?"

She smiled "I did. When I was your age."

I laughed "No momma. I mean for like a living."

She sighed "Well. I had you. And I had a choice. And I chose you." She smiled and caressed my hair "My little sunshine."

I smiled and snuggled against her as we watched a movie as we usually did on Saturday's.

"Dad we were just holding hands!"

"Mhm. That lil nigga had acne and dirty finger nails. You like rusty lil boys huh?"

I burst out laughing making him chuckle. He brought me into a hug and.kissed my forehead.

"I just want you to have the best babygirl."

"I know."

"Babygirl, I know your growing up but I want you to know something. When you do get a boyfriend make sure he treats you like a queen. Okay?"

I nodded "Okay Daddy."

"Momma, where did you get this made?" I asked touching over a glass picture of her in awe.

She laughed "Oh, your father had that made for.me on our anniversary."

I smiled "I want one."

"Well maybe one day of you get a husband, he will get one made for you. Or of your lucky, your Dad will get you one."

I smiled "I love you mom."

"I live you too ladybug." she smiled

Jumping out of my thoughts I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist.

"Hey..Hey. Its me." August said softly in my ear.

I sniffed "Sorry." I mumbled meaning more than one meaning

He kissed my shoulder.

"Why you cryin Babyeh?" he asked reaching and wiping my face.

"Just thinking.." I mumbled wiping face.

He kissed my shoulder twice. "C'mon. Lets go." he stood up and reached his hand out for me.

I stood up and followed him out of the dance room.
