Jhuanie POV
Anthony, Princess, and I were going to go to his family get together. Nothing fancy. They just wanted to see Princess. They love her. She's their favorite.
I had gotten her dressed up in hr outfit for today. I just loved making her look like a little Disney princess. I always dressed her in poofy dresses. She loved it and would run around saying she was a "Pwincezzzzz".
"Momma I gawt a cwooown!" She cheered as she looked in the mirror.
"I knooow. You look so prettyyyy." I cooed as I picked her up.
She laid on my shoulder. "Anthony come get her so I can get ready." I called.
"Here I come." I responded and walked into my bedroom a few seconds later. "What I tell you about putting her in these damn dresses like this? Put her in some norml clothes." He fussed.
"That is her normal clothes unless u want her to go in some pajamas." I said getting smart as I put my dress on.
"Oh my gooood. Why do you gotta always be difficult?" He asked getting irritated.
"I don't always have to be difficult. I do, however, always have to make sure my baby slays all the other babies. That's all that matters." I told him with a smirk.
We got in the car and made our way to his aunt's house. He was raised by his grand mother and aunts since his mother ran off with some man when he was five. I've met his mother a few times and it was never a pleasant experience. She was boujie as hell.
Anthony was dressed to the nines. He most definitely wanted his people's to know he was living well.
I of course dolled myself up a bit. Less is more, but at the same time, I shifted to the more side slightly. I wanted Anthony's family members to see he had good taste.
"There goes my Lil baby!" Anthony's aunt Michele said as she hugged him. She was an older woman. His dad's sister. "And my favorite niece!" She cheered as she picked Princess up and gave her some candy. Princess lit up and gave her a big hug.
"Oooh and Jhuaniiiie. I'm so happy you could make iiiiit. And you look good girl. Still got that man magnet body! Girrrl you could get anybody you want, why you still wasting time with my knuckle head nephew?" She asked.
"Aunt Michelllllle." I said in shock at her bluntness.
"Oh hush. You know I'm just kidding. Come on in y'all. I threw down in the kitchen this morning. I got greens, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, ham, spam, yams, chicken turkey, corn, YOU NAME IT!" she said.
Princess clapped her hands and smiled. Anthony high tailed it to the kitchen. I decided to mingle with some of his cousins. Most of them were either married with children, or engaged. Some of them were single parents. Very few people in his family ever stayed single long.
"You look gorgeous!" His cousin Nessa said as she examined my dress. "You gonna have to clue me in on where you buy your clothes because this is the boooomb." She said with a smile.
Nessa and I had always got along. I never really had friends because I don't socialize much and also, most females get jealous and want to act funny. Most males don't respect the friendship boundaries and end up getting cut off. Anthony does not allow me to have male friends. He had ruined it every time. He is extremely jealous I've learned. He has never been like that with any girl he ever dated. I don't know why he's like that with me.
It had been an hour and Anthony had eaten half of everything in their kitchen. He will eat a person out of house and home if they let him.
"Anthony why haven't you made Jhuanie a plate?" Aunt Michele nagged him as she held a sleeping Princess who had crumbs all over her mouth.
"I been preoccupied." He said with a mouth full of food. Food was piled high on his plate as he got his grub on.
"I'll make you a plate. Anthony this is your third and last plate." Aunt Michele fussed.
He continued eating like he hasn't ate in years. She fixed my plate with a little bit of everything and I sat down to eat. His family loved me and we all made conversation as we ate at the table.
"I'm so full." Anthony said as he rubbed his belly and then let out a loud burp.
"That's nasty. You didn't even say excuse me." I fussed.
"Whateva. Where my Princess at?" He asked looking around.
"She taking a nap. Let her sleep. She ate her tail off. That's one thing she got from you Anthony. Eating everything in sight and never gaining no weight." Aunt Michele said as she crossed her legs.
"Sheeeit. He lucky. I eat a peppermint and gain ten pounds." Anthony's cousin, Big Redd stated. He was a ginger and had a red afro and a big red beard. He was a big man and had freckles all over his body. He kept himself up and looking nice though and had a pretty wife who used to be a stripper and about five kids.
"Yeah. I be doing a lo of athletic stuff after I eat." Anthony answered.
"We know what you be doing. I'd be doing athletic work too if I had a woman like Jhuanie to call mines." Anthony's big brother, Antonio stated. He was his half brother and was Dominican and black. He was fine as hell, but his personality was trash. Also, Anthony had my heart so it was a no for him.
Anthony choked on his water at what his brother had said. He turned and was about to say something until we heard some loud music bumping outside. We walked outside to see none other than Melvin step out of his car.
"Hey.. Miss Wilson?" He looked at me confused.
"Mommyyyy!" Princess ran to me. I guess she was done with her nap.
I picked her up. I wasn't sure what to say to Melvin. After all that had been going on the last time I saw him, he brought back memories of myself that I didn't want.
"Who baby is she?" He asked.
"Mines." I told him.
"So you not gon gimme my credit where its due?" Anthony said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I is duh pappy." He bragged.
"So that's how you feel? You gon be with the one woman I wanted?" Melvin said getting mad.
"Man cut the shit. You could never handle her. She never even wanted you." Anthony retorted.
"Fuck you man! I'm out of here. Jhuanie, if he start giving you problems, call me." He said before leaving.
I rolled my eyes. This was not apart of what I considered to be a good family get together. All the drama and competition shit was a no go for me. I'm getting too old for this shit. I'm almost 30 now. I can't be dealing wooth no bullshit.
