"Nice For What"
Nayeli
⚜️I sat around the table with Joie, Joel and my parents. It had been a while since we all sat together as a family and ate dinner, I was thankful for small things like this. The conversations held nothing but laughs and love since everyone was in better spirits. A few months had passed and Joel was doing much better and so was my dad.
I had went to see Armani in the rehab like I promised and she was doing so much better. She still had s long way to go with learning how to love herself but I was proud of her progress.
"Boy you better put that down, put some more vegetables on that plate" my mom scolded Joel as he tried to over flow his plate with fried chicken. My mom was taking his health very serious and made healthy food for him.
"Mom but your fried chicken is so good" he groaned eyeing the food.
"Let me have to repeat myself, I don't care how old you are" she said before taking a bite out of her chicken. My dad sat back laughing and shook his head.
"Why didn't you invite your little boyfriend" Joel smirked looking in my direction.
"Joel" Joie gave him a look of annoyance as he shrugged.
I could hear my parents slowly place there silverware down and an awkward silence fell on the table. I looked at Joel and frowned wondering why he said what he said. He was always putting someone on the spot to draw attention away from him.
My parents had no idea that Reese and I had been dating for the past few months. It wasn't because I didn't want them knowing, I just didn't bring people to meet my parents so easily.
"You kids are going to make my blood pressure go up" my dad sighed. We were all his babies and he hated seeing us growing up so quickly.
"Joel I heard that girl you hung out with a few times is pregnant" Joie smiled sweetly making Joel freeze. I silently thanked her and was happy to have the attention off of me.
"Joel that better not be your baby and if it is, you better man the fuck up" my pointed her fork at him.
"That ain't my baby" he mumbled giving Joie an angry stare before chewing on his dry lettuce.
"So you have a boyfriend?" My dad asked bringing the focus back on me.
"Yes, you've met him before" I revealed not seeing any reason to lie.
