March 22, 2013

After my grandmothers surprise party I was getting ready to meet Rico's mom for the first time and I was nervous as hell.

I sat on the passenger side fiddling with my fingers.

"You good babe?" Rico glanced over at me.

"Yeah, I'm just a little nervous. What if your mom don't like me? Will she ask me hella questions? Like how-."

Rico cut me off.

"You'll be fine babe, I promise she's just as shy as you."

I nodded my head and took a deep breath as he parked in front of his apartment complex.

As we entered the apartment a light skinned lady with a short haircut sat on the couch watching Martin.

"Rico, warn me next time you bring company over I look a hot mess." Rico's mom hid her face in her arm.

"Mom, you look fine. This is my girl Destiny."

"Hi." I shyly waved.

"Hi Destiny nice to finally meet you. Please excuse my night clothes and scarf." A small smile appeared on her face.

"Oh you're fine." I let out a soft chuckle.

"Y'all can watch whatever y'all want. I'm going in my room." Rico's mom handed us the remote.

"Goodnight Destiny, nice meeting you again."

"Goodnight, nice meeting you also."

I sighed of relief when she shut her door.

"See that wasn't bad now was it?" Rico grabbed my hand pulling me between his legs.

"No, I thought she was going to be one of those moms that ask a million questions."

"Nah she ain't like that. Shit, how you think I felt at your grandmothers surprise party that shit was awkward as fuck."

"But you survived." I pecked his forehead.

"Let's take some pics." Rico picked up his laptop that was lying on the floor.

I made myself comfortable on the couch beside him while we took pics on his laptop.
