Freshly out of college, Xayvion and Bryce are finding their way in life. Figuring out how to survive without their parent(s) help, both so focused on doing their best they forgot about their social life and love life. So when their best friends drag...
"I'm tellin' you Xay momma trippin'." My baby brother, Zakari said as we walked through the store.
My mom had sent me to the store to pick up the rest of the stuff for dinner and of course my "momma always against me" little brother wanted to ride.
"You just not smart enough to get around momma." I said looking for the brand of rice momma wants.
He upset because momma went in on his little girlfriend the other day, called her hoe and a gold digger which she is but he feel like it ain't momma place to say it.
"Whatever Xay, you got it easy. Momma actually gave yo girlfriend a chance."
"And your wrong, I just told momma let me learn from my mistakes. Which I did and I let her get her "I told you so" out the way and I moved on." I said putting the bag of rice in the basket.
Ion know why he think every time something happen to him it's the first time it has every happened in the world.
"See let me say something like that, momma gone smack me so fast. I'm have a vision of the past and future." He said causing me to laugh.
"What you think happened to me nigga. I ain't say she didn't set a nigga straight but you'll be good when the swellin' go down." I said causing him to smack his lips.
"Whatever but aye you should let me come over to you and Danny place this weekend. I ain't tryna get stuck at the house with Grandma, PawPaw, and them. Cause you already know it's gone be endless stories about the good old days and don't nobody wanna deal with that." He said looking at me.
"I feel you on that and you already know how unc' is when he start drinking." I said shaking my head.
My family is usually a very serious family but it's something about holidays and family events that just make them act like fools.
"See and ion wanna deal with the birds and the bees story again. I been hearing it for the last three years straight and I'm still waiting on them to get to the point of they story."
"You actually listened? I zoned them out every time they called my name."
"They got index cards with pictures now." He said shaking his head.
Me and Zakari are pretty close but that's only because we only three years apart.
"You can definitely spend the weekend. What's wrong with them?" I asked shaking my head.
"I don't know." He said as I pulled into our momma's driveway and of course my Auntie who think she better then everybody is already here, a whole two days early just so she can say she beat everybody else here because she loves us more.
"Aunt Dee annoying as fuck." Zakari said as we grabbed the grocery out the back seat.
"You here favorite so ion even know why you trippin'." I said as we walked up the stairs.
"Cause she be acting like I ain't just seen her at Thanksgiving."
All I could was shake my head because that is very true.
We walked in the house and went straight to the kitchen and of course Aunt Dee was in the kitchen tellin' momma a bullshit ass story.
"Here you go ma." I said sitting the bags that was in my hand on the island.
"Thank you boys, now put it up and leave the pork chops out. I'm cooking those for dinner tonight."
"Girl you always cooking. You need to make these young men of yours cook you dinner." She said looking at us with a smile.
"Well since I'mtheir mother, I don't mind cooking for them." Momma said putting emphasis on I'm.
"Ma I'm spend the weekend at Xay and Danny place." Zakari said as we put the last bit of groceries up.
"And that's exactly where you better be to Zakari. If I find out you at one of them little fast behind girls houses I'm kick my foot so far up yo ass, you gone be shittin' Giuseppe Zanotti until 2017." She said causing me to look at him.
"That's a while away baby bro." I said causing him to straight face me.
"Don't say it like I didn't ask to come over this weekend while we was at the store."
"I'm just saying, because if you come over and leave to go to a girl house I'm telling because I don't want Giuseppe whoever nowhere near my butt." I said causing momma to start laughing.
"Y'all play all day but Xayvion are you coming to the dinner Thursday?"
"Yes ma'am, you know I never pass up on your cooking."
"You missed it last Christmas."
"I know and I regretted it because Kari kept sending me pictures and even FaceTimed me while eating."
"Shame but okay sweetie, you can leave now."
"Who leaving?" I asked looking around.
She on drugs if she think I'm about to leave after she just said she cooking dinner tonight.
"You."
"Nope I'm staying, you gone see my face all night and tomorrow morning." I said kissing her cheek.
I went to my old room and laid back on my bed. Everything was the same as the day I left it from when I went to college.
I chilled out in my room until dinner was finished and then I help set the table.
"Thank God Dee left because I did not have time to listen to her try and give me anymore cooking tips. Knowing damn well I cook better then her, she can't even cook noodles and got the nerve to try and give me tips." Momma said rolling her eyes.
This is going to be a long ass Christmas but lucky me I can leave after I eat so I can get ready for this party.
