Grind and Pray

XXIII

"Hope P.O.V": So right about i'm in my room waiting for Chuckii to get back. He's been gone for about three hours now. As i wait, i decided to check Instagram and let me just say it was lit tonight. But then Chuckii posted a picture with him on stage and hand out. The caption said "NERVOUS ABOUT TONIGHT, EVERYBODY THATS COMING OUT HELP ME". I don't know what he talking about but he know i got him. I fell asleep with phone in hand. I woke up maybe at six because i could feel his touch.

Hope: Baby.
Chuckii: *keeps eyes close* Hhm?
Hope: You're late.
Chuckii: I know. I'm sorry ma'. *kisses Hope neck* Want me to make it up to you?
Hope: *giggles* Nope.

     Chuckii gripped me by my waist and fell asleep. Lord knows im falling in love with this man. A few hours later, I woke up to find Snoop in the living room with a girl.

Hope: Good morning you two.
Alycia: Good morning ma'am.
Hope: Ma'am? I like her snoop she has manners but i'm his sister, call me Hope.
Alycia: Hello, i'm Alycia.
Hope: Hi. Snoop i need you to do me a favor.
Snoop: Wassup.
Hope: Run to the store and pick up some groceries so i can make breakfast. Also, Alycia are you going to the concert later with Snoop?
Alycia: Yep.
Snoop: ill be back in a lil.
Hope: Okay, be careful

    Snoop left and i stood still staring at Alycia. She needs a wardrobe update.

Hope: So, what are you wearing later?
Alycia: Its in my bag.
Hope: Let me see.
Alycia: *grabs bag & pulls out outfit*
Hope: Nonono. Sorry mamí but you gotta go out there looking like a million dollars. You a nerd?
Alycia: yeah...yes. how'd you know?
Hope: Hair, glasses, clothes, and your english. Okay, i'm going to transform you into sexy nerd. Come on.

     I basically dragged Alycia into my room. Chuckii was slowly waking up.

Hope: Baby, you got on your boxers right?
Chuckii: Mhm. Why?
Hope: I got company in the room.
Chuckii: Mhm *rolls over and sees Alycia* Alycia?
Alycia: Do i know you?
Chuckii: Damn, you don't remember your own blood brother.
Alycia: Angel? *jumps on Chuckii* OMG what are you doing in ms.Hope bed?
Chuckii: She's my girlfriend. Why are you here?
Alycia: Snoop is my boyfriend.
Hope: So you guys are siblings?
Chuckii: Yeah we got split apart when we went through the system. She got adopted by some family and i got adopted by someone else.
Hope: Oh. Well yeah, i'm changing her style a little. She's beautiful but stylish and book smart goes together hand-in-hand. I should know.
Chuckii: you in good hands. *kisses Hope forehead* Ima shower ma'.
Hope: Okay

     That then left me and Alycia standing infront of my closet.

Hope: So you look as if you wear the same size as me. What size are you in Bra?
Alycia: B-Cup area.
Hope: Perfectó. You are my size.

    I'm going to choose some outfits and you try them on to see how you look. (Outfits down below)

About twenty minutes later, She chose her outfit.

Hope: Once Angel get out your going in. Was your hair too. This outfit is just for now by the way. Tonight you're gonna have a whole different outfit.
Alycia: You're fashion taste is different.
Hope: Different is good babygirl.

    We walked out my room so Chuckii could get dressed, plus Snoop yelled my name.

Hope: Wassup.
Snoop: So i got everything. Pablo up yet?
Hope: Not yet, but wake him up though cause he need to get up.
Snoop: Aight.
Hope: Meanwhile, do you know how to cook Alycia?

    Snoop left down the hall.

Alycia: Uhm not really.
Hope: Thats okay i'll teach you. Well i'll teach you how to make breakfast first.

    I hurried to the tv and put on pandora. The song, "Damn by K.Michelle" was playing and i changed it, causing the song, "Promises by Jhene Aiko ft NAMIKO & Miyagi" to play. I handed Alycia a bowl.

Hope: I need you to crack nine eggs.
Alycia: Okay.

    Alycia began cracking the eggs and I began putting the pancake batter together. I know everyone is gonna eat two pancakes sooo. As im mixing the pancake mix, Snoop walks into the kitchen.

Snoop: He's up.

     Snoop then got the skillets(pans) out for me. I laughed a little because i feel like a mom and my younger children are helping me. Just then Chuckii walked into the kitchen shirtless.

Hope: Baby that grease it heating up.

      Snoop continued stirring the pancake mix as i cut up some sausage. Once i finished, i put them on the stove.

Hope: Alycia hand me the eggs.

     She handed me the eggs and i poured them into the same skillet as the sausage.

Hope: Come here girl. You see how the eggs is cooking?
Alycia: Yes.
Hope: As you flip the eggs and stuff make sure u chop it up to make scrambled eggs. Some of the eggs will have sausage in it, but make sure you stir and chop.
Alycia: Okay.

     Alycia did that portion for me and i began doing the pancakes. This is amazing help right now.

Hope: Snoop.

     He handed me the batter and i began poring it.

Hope: Get ten glasses out Snoop. One is OJ and the other is water. Baby can you set the table with silverware? Don't worry about the plates.
Chuckii: Yeah.

      Just as the food was finishing up Pablo walked down the hall.

Pablo: GOOD MORNING

      Everyone said good morning.

Chuckii: You found a female yet?
Pablo: Nah.
Chuckii: *chuckles* We gone go out in a lil to find you one.
Hope: *clears throat* Excuse me?
Chuckii: Aight ma'. Pablo i'll send you with my cousin JJ and she'll getchu a girl.
Pablo: What if, i just go alone. If a see a girl out there that came there alone and im feeling her or whatever she'll be backstage with us.
Chuckii: Aight.
Pablo: Thank you. Hold up, Snoop is this ol girl from...
Snoop: Yeah.
Pablo: Wassup, i'm Pablo.
Alycia: Alycia, Chuckii sister.
Snoop: *chokes on air* Joke right?
Alycia: No.

     Hope fixed the plates.

Hope: Time to eat. Oh yeah Pablo you're on dish duty since you didn't help with breakfast.
Pablo: Aight.

      We all sat at the dining table and Chuckii led us in morning prayer. We all said Amen and dug in. Why? We got work to put in today.
