"You look good babe, they really fit you nice" I watch as Dave modeled his new suits for me.

"Thank you ma, you like your stuff too?"

Dave had gotten me a pair of shoes and a dress.

"Yeah, I feel like I'm interview ready" I laughed.

"Interview ready?" He asked me.

"Yeah, this dress is very office chic" I smiled.

"Only women" he rolled his eyes.

"What does that mean?" I eyed him.

"Ya have clothes for every little thing"

"Well duh that's how it should be"

"I know, I get it but I don't"

"I don't understand all the sneakers, the backpacks, the sweat suits"

"Ha! So you don't like my gear"

"Dave, I don't give a hoot about your gear, obviously if you were dressing like a cornball I wouldn't be here. Our little family wouldn't exist." I spoke honestly.

"Wowwwww"

"What?"

"You shallow" He laughed.

"I am not shallow, if I were a mess the day you first saw me you would have kept it moving and that's a fact. Not an opinion" I looked at him.

"I mean keeping up with appearances are everything. Hygiene is very is important too"

"Exactly!"

Dave took off the suit jacket and placed it on the hanger.

"Everything you wear is you. Truthfully I don't  care for everything but I'm human."

"Indirectly talking shit"

"Why do you keep bringing that up" I laughed.

"I'm just asking"

"I wouldn't say it's that, but more of gearing  you into something more different than your norm and new"

"I can dig it" He laughed.

"Good" I smiled.

"Now, I want to know what are the suits for? Like you went business chic on me. I like it don't get wrong but you plan on tricking someone to give you an office job" I laughed.

He looked over to me and shook his head, laughing to himself.

"First of all, I don't have to trick no one. Second, thought I should step up my grown man games. Imma be 30 this year"

"Ohhhhh okay old man" I joked.

"Yeah whatever"

"So what's up with Frank? Did you ever tell him about your plans?"

"What are my plans?" He looked over to me.

"Really?"

"What?"

"Giving in your key and leaving" I looked at him like he was dumb.

"Ohh, we working on something ma. It's just tough since he's leaving and what not. Max doing a bid ..."

"Max is doing time?" I asked.

"Yeahhhhhh ..."

"Really? How, well why? I mean"

"Don't matter don't care" he brushed off my  curiosity.

"So where does that leave my cousin?"
