So when you agree to take two girls you don't expect another, especially one who wears clothes like she stepped outta vogue. So anywho I brought all three girls to church, and it seems Carlotta is their godmother, Star's sister, who I learned was Simone, was a sweet little mixed girl, and Alex, a girl who looked really upperclass and annoyed that I was here. 

Anyway after church Carlotta invited the girls and myself over for a Sunday meal and who am I to pass up on some good soul food. "Singing sure makes me hungry." Carlotta said. I was filling up my plate with some fried chicken and everything else she cooked. I mean I was was welcome anytime, since Tio Jahil cannot cook, even if Jesus gave him a miracle he still could not cook. 

Alex scrunched her nose in disgust. "My arteries are clogging looking at it." I rolled my eyes at the girl. Most kids in Africa wished they had food like this. Yep i'm about 90% positive this girl ain't from the hood. "Girl you too young to have arteries. I'm surprised you never set foot in a church." Carlotta told her. I took a sip of my soda next to Alex. 

"Are you gonna eat that?" I asked her and she passed it over to me. "Bless your heart doll." I tell her. She rolled her eyes at me. "There's nothing wrong with being an atheist." I choked on my food and scooted away. "You gone burn girl." I joke. "What up Miss C, Nattie." Derek Jones the neighborhood's living black lives matter sign greeted them. "Hi Derek." I say. "Now I know you came by for the food cause I certainly ain't see you in service." Carlotta says and I laugh. 

"We was busy today with the activist thing. How ya'll doin ladies i'm Derek." I got up and threw my trash away. "I really need ya'll help." I heard as I sat back down. "Derek always needin help." I joke drinking some of my Dr.Pepper. "Miss C, Nattie please?" He begged I rolled my eyes and playfully flipped him off. "Boi bye. I'll see what I can do." I say. "It was much appreciated. I'll see you ladies later." He sent a flirtatious smile at Alex. They gonna get together I betchu. "Bye Derek. Say bye Derek Alex." I teased and she smiled. 

"So Miss Carlotta are you our new mother now?" Simone asked beside me. "Ya'll foster family treating right?" Carlotta. "Yeah Simone and I got real lucky." Star said. I looked an saw how uncomfortable Simone was. "And what type of foster care you from?" I asked Alex changing the subject. "I'm actually not from a foster family. My parents just think traveling is a real learning experience." Alex told me. "Your parents must be loaded cause you walking in here like you stepped out of a vogue magazine or something." I say. 

"I heard the music scene in Atlanta was crazy. And we're a girl group." Star said. I smiled. "So ya'll gonna be the next TLC?" I laugh. "We gon be better." Star tells me. "I see ya'll." Carlotta then tells us about her and Mary's girl group, I heard a track once, Tio played it once but he cut it off, from what I gathered Tio Jahil like Mary, but Carlotta like Jahil, so he was with both, and in the end they both had a fucked up relationship. "If ya'll wanna sing come sing with me in church." Carlotta told them and I snickered. I wasn't into singing I was more of a fashion type of girl, plus my crazy ass sound like a screaming cat. 

"Church." Alex asked furrowing her perfectly arched eyebrows. "Yes church you little witch." Carlotta told her. Man Alex got some attitude. "Look why ya'll really here?" Carlotta asked. "You looking to stay with me." She said. "Yes!" Simone said excited. "Okay then let's get home. We got a busy week ahead of us." Carlotta said getting up pushing her chair in. "Work?" Star asked. "Yeah if ya'll gonna stay with me you gotta contribute. Ask Natalia." Carlotta said. "Basically the shampoo girl got pregnant again and quit. Any of ya'll know how?" I ask. "She does." Star said pointing at Alex. 

"Ya'll its easy. Just make sure you don't let your acrylic nail scratch anybody's head though they asses tend to get pissed off." I joke. "Language Lil mama." Carlotta tells me. I throw my hands up in surrender. "I'm going." Simone says jumping up. "I'm not shampooing anyones hair." Alex said and I rolled my eyes playfully. "Alex you gotta take the stick outta your ass and lighten up." I tell her. "Its a sick plan you just gotta be apart of it." Star said. "Plan for what?" I ask. "Being famous." Star tells me getting up and sashaying away. Well i'll be damned these girls are gonna be interesting.
