A few hours passed and they still were at the park. They should've been back by now . I tend to worry a lot. But that's only because I don't need anyone else in my life getting hurt. As I layed on the couch and watched tv, I watch Damion as he lays on his blanket on the floor and plays with his toys.
I ran my finger over a lace ribbon tattoo that covered my right leg. Jacob did this tattoo for me back when he was alive.

The hand I was looking at had this skeleton face on it, so when I would cover my mouth it would look like I had a skeleton face.

My momma walked through the door. She looked happy. It's weird. "Hey DaNae. What you doin' here by yourself?"
"Hey grandma'a baby." She picked him up and covered him with kisses. As she pulled away, I noticed a thought red kiss marks from her lip stick. Leaving him giggling.
I shrugged. "DeShaun and his friends left to go to the park." She nodded still standing in the same spot watching me play with my tattoo.
"I've ain't never seen that one before. When did you get that one?" She tried to make conversation. We haven't talked in a while. Maybe I should take advantage of this time.
"Jacob did it for me..." I trailed off with tears running down my cheeks. She dropped he purse and came and sat by me. She hugged me with the one hand that isn't being occupied by a baby.
"He's in a better place now DaNae." She whispered into my hair. "I loved him momma." Now I was crying my eyes out.
She sighed. "I did too. Like he was my own son." Her voice cracked like she was crying too. I looked up to see her crying. But she had a smile on her face.
"Ugh look you got my crying. Ruining my makeup and shit." She said playfully. She got a napkin off of the little black table in the middle of the living room and wiped her tears first and then mine.
"I made dinner tonight ma." She handed him to me and looked at me surprised. "Oh yeah? What you make?" She had one hand on her hip the other on the couch. "Tacos." I said proudly.
"Ima see how well you improved on yo cookin'." She walked in the kitchen and made herself a plate. She came back in the living room and sat at the dinner table. She got 4 tacos on her plate. I decided to get up from the couch and sit on the opposite side of the table parallel from her.
She took her first bite and started chewing. Her eyes widened. Shit shit shit... she doesn't like it.
"Girl. You can throw down in the kitchen!" He voice boomed through the house. That made me smile and Damion jumped in fear. "Thanks ma." She nodded. "You got that Hispanic cooking from ya daddy's side."
I was gonna ask a question about my dad until I heard the front door open again. That made me turn my head around so quick I almost got whiplash.
"Nah nigga I whooped yo ass." Kornail yelled. "Boy watch ya mouth." My mom warned. I looked back at him he looked embarrassed. I held in my laughter "Sorry Ms. Holton."
"And DeShaun where the fuck were you?!" Ah shit. Here comes the bitching. "I was out playin' basketball at the park."
"Well the next time be back before I get back." He just nodded. "Come on guys lets go to my room." I was shocked. That was the end of the argument. Usually they world argue for 47889 days.
"Hello Ms. Holton." Marshall said with a kind smile. She just returned the smile and waved. Marshall followed behind DeShaun in order to find his room.
"Who was that white boy?" I shrugged. "DeShaun's friend Marshall." I hit my face behind Damion's head trying to hide my smile. I felt her eyes burning holes into my head.
"Y'all like each other?" Of course I do. "No... why would I?" I lied. I'm a very bad liar. I get that terrible trait from her.
"I saw the way he was lookin' at ya. And the way you smiled when I asked about him. I haven't seen you act like that since..." she stopped herself. And I'm happy she did.
"Okay maybe I do have a liiiitle crush on him." Stretching 'i' in little. "Bullshit!" She says with a smile on her face. I swear I don't know what I would do without her or my brother. I would go crazy if they ever got hurt.
I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed. The next 10 minutes passed and we were just laughing and joking around. "Excuse me." We both look up. Marshall was in the door way. "What can I do for you sweety pie?" I held the bridge of my nose.
Sweety pie? That's the first thing you can think of mom?
"It's gettin' pretty late and I was just about to leave but I didn't wanna leave without saying goodbye." He became shy.
"You have manners Marshall. You're welcome anytime. And don't say goodbye. Say see you later. Sayin' goodbye makes it seem like I won't see you around anymore." She smiled and hugged him and walked out of the living room. I guess she went to her room. Now it's just Marshall, Damion, and I.
"Hey um... I was wondering w-would you wanna... I don't know... go out sometime?" He's asking me out. Oh god he was so nervous. It's cute. I got up and kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm down. Just tell me when. I'm never doin' anything." He was redder than a tomato. He nodded.
"Aight. I gotta go." The corners of his mouth curved up. He walked out the door."See ya' Marshall." I waved. All he did was wave back with a smile on his face.
I closed the door with a smile plastered on his face. I realized that Kornail didn't leave out... maybe he's staying the night. I walked in my room with a sleeping Damion in my hands and listened to the tape that Marshall gave to me. ____________________________ Okay all my beautiful people! That was a short chapter I guess.
