The Carter's

Christmas Eve Fun

Lourie's POV:

I woke up early this morning to get a head start on tonight dinner. I had to make a visit to the grocery shop later to find this woman. I only knew that her name was Lisa. Lisa would help me this Christmas.

"I was just about to get started in here" Cheryl said walking in.

"Well now you don't have to" I fake smiled

"But I'm still going to. How about you go check on Lyia" she suggested with a fake laugh

"How about you go check on Richard. I seen you slept with Ken last night" I tried to be petty. She just looked away.

"He's sick. And I didn't want to get it" she lied. Richard walked in

"Goodmorning. Baby why you didn't sleep with me last night?" He wrapped his arms around Cheryl. I raised my eyebrow at her

"Cause you were sick last night. Remember?" She laughed lightly.

"No" he looked at her. I just laughed and continued cooking.

"Oh hey Lourie"

"Hey tiger woods" I said with a fake smile

"Tiger woods?" He looked at me strangely. I just nodded then took off my apron

"You know what Cheryl, you can cook. I have to run to the store" I was about to walk out

"Oh can you get me some cookies while you're there" Richard Asked

"You just can't get enough of that grocery store cookie can't you? Haven't you had enough cookie!?" I asked him. They both looks at me strangely. I just walked out and went to the store.

I walked up and down the aisle, hoping to run into this Lisa bitch. I got a couple of things that I needed and seen a woman on the aisle down from me.

"Can I hel- Lourie!?" She exclaimed. I looked at her confused. "Lisa! It's me Lisa! Jacob's little sister" I checked her name tag. Ahhhh Lisa

"Oh hi how you doing?" I smiled big and hugged her.

"I'm doing great. And how's my little niece!?" She was referring to Lyia. You see Jacob was Lyia's father. Once he found out I was pregnant, he left me. And I never seen him since then. All I knew was that I hated him a lot.

"Fine fine. How you been? Any husband?" I quickly changed the subject.

"No girl. Not at all. But I do talk to this rich white man" she was so happy

"Girl what?!" I fake reacted.

"Yessss. Let me show you. Hmmm you ready so I can check you out? Might get me fired" she laughed and walked me to her register.

"So this man"

"Yes. His name is Richard and He's filthy rich and he's so sexy. He's visiting his grandma Cheryl down here then he's headed back to his city."

"Wait his grandma Cheryl?" I held back my laughter.

"Yea girl I know. But check this out. He might be white up there but he's black down there if you know what I mean" she winked at me. I did not wanna know what she meant.

"Oh well you find you a lucky one" I laughed.

"Yea it's just sad that I only get to see him when he comes to the grocery shop though. He said his grandma doesn't want no women running through his house. And I need some place to be for Christmas." She rung me up "30.67"

"How about you come to our house for Christmas. You know our family loves company. All you have to do is bring a dish" I said reaching her the money. She thought about then nodded her head
