Anastasia✨

The whole service was lit, black people churches was always lit. After we all ate and the kids was going on a Easter egg hunt. The woman here was eyeing Khalil like a hawk..Just like they did when Zion came.

Just thirsty. "Look like you got some fans." I said picking up my cornbread. Khalil frowned. "Where?" He asked. I motioned to the group of girls on the other end of the huge table.

"Oh, I'm not worried about them." He said. "Right, and what if I wasn't here?" I asked. He smacked his lips. "You jealous?" I laughed. "No, I'm just asking. Can you answer my question?" I asked.

He sighed a little. "Okay maybe I would have, but that was the old me." I tilted my head to the side. "Old you? Like..Only a couple weeks ago?" I asked. He laughed. "What you trying to get at?"

I shrugged. "I'm just nosey." I said picking my chicken wing up. "I know." I smiled. "Anastasia!" I heard my Mama yell. I frowned and stood up walking to to the back with Khalil following after me.

I saw Mama holding Kelly back from some little boy. His Mama held him back also and I noticed blood dripping down his lip. "That's your son?" She asked.

"Yea why?" I asked folding my arms across my chest. "He took my sons basket from him and punched him in his face." I frowned. "No he hit me!" Kelly yelled.

My frown deepened. "That's not what my son said." She told me. I sighed. "Well I believe my son, he doesn't go around hitting people." I said. She scoffed.

"Are you serious? He's crazy! He punched my baby in his mouth." She said. "I'm sorry about that, but-" "But what?!" She yelled. I was silent. "You need to become a better parent and teach your child right from wrong."

"Excuse me?" I asked. "You heard me, I know who you are and you need to do better with your child. Its a lot of young mothers out here that doesn't know what their doing."

I clenched my teeth. "Just who are you to judge her?" Khalil asked. "Ana baby let's just go." Mama said. I nodded my head. "Yea I don't have time for this." I said.

I shook my head and grabbed Kelly's hand walking away when he turnt around and stuck his middle finger at the little boy.
I heard the lady scoff as we walked away back to the car.

"What about my basket?" Kelly asked. I sighed. "I'll make you a new one." I said. He nodded a little and looked down at his feet while we walked to our cars. "Where's Adam?" Mama asked. I shrugged.

"Probably still eating." I mumbled. I grabbed Kelly's seat out Mama's car. "I'll see y'all later." I said. Mama nodded. "Okay, don't let what that lady said get to you." she said. I nodded giving her a fake smile.

"Yea I heard you Mama." She kissed my forehead. "I'll call you later." I nodded and buckled Kelly up in his seat. Khalil and I both got in and drove down the street. I looked out the window letting those words replay in my head.

"You need to be a better mother."

"You dont know what your doing."

"Hey you okay?" Khalil asked looking over at me. I nodded. He looked back at the road. "What she said isn't true, your a great mother." He told me. I smiled.
