Ms. Carter [DISCONTINUED]

Today is Kylie and Travis' baby shower. I obviously despise Kylie but I'm going for the sake of Travis and my niece. I can't believe I'm gonna have to get along with her for the rest of my life, well as long as she's with Travis. Apparently the shower is at her house. I refuse to go alone so I'm bringing Pia with me. Her and Kylie use to be friends so it might be awkward, but who cares? I was gonna bring Rakim but he's shooting the No Limit video which I'm so excited for. I'm literally the biggest Cardi B fan. My parents met her and so had Rocky. I'm the only one who hasn't. But I will soon. I'd love to collaborate with her.

After I finish getting dressed, Pia comes and picks me up. I figured I shouldn't dress too nice so that I wouldn't show Kylie up. So I wore a sweater, embroidered jeans, and blue velvet heels. When we get to Kylie's, we see a sign that says to go around the back. Here we go.

When we get to the back, I see a large white tent with tables underneath. There are pink flowers everywhere, even in the pool. Everything is beautiful so you know Kris did it. Speaking of Kris, she greets us at the entrance.

"Girls, how great it is to see you!" She hugs us, "Come on. I'll show you around. The food we'll be over there, presents go here, you can sit anywhere you'd like, and Kylie and Travis are just over there."

"Thank you, Kris" I smile, she truly was my favorite.

Pia goes to get us a table while I go to greet the parents.

"Hey guys" I smile.

"What's up homie?" Travis and I do our handshake.

"I'm super glad you could make it, Houston" Kylie hugs me.

At first I don't move but then I slowly pat her back.

"Yeah me too" I smile.

I open my purse and pull out an USB drive. On it is a label that says To: Baby Girl, From: Auntie Houston.

"What is it?" Kylie asks.

"A lullaby I wrote for the baby" I say.

"Aww thank you so much. I'm sure she'll love it" She says.

"You're welcome" I say.

"I actually have a favor to ask of you" Kylie says.

Bitch, I just wrote your daughter a whole song, what else could you want?

"What?" I ask, trying not to sound annoyed.

"Will you sing something? Anything?" She asks.

"I don't perform for free" Her face drops, "But for you two, sure."

Kylie claps her hands excitedly. As she runs off to get a mic, I turn to Travis.

"You are so luck I love you and my future niece" I say.

"Thank you so much, Four. It means a lot to me" he says.

"You owe me a fat ass blunt after this" I say.

He reaches into his pocket and shows me one.

"You think I was gonna have this baby shower without one. After your performance, we'll 'go to the store'" He smirks.

"Lit" I say.

As Kylie comes back with a mic, I look around.

"There's no stage. I can't perform without a stage" I say.

Kylie looks at the table in the middle of the tent where no one is sitting. She walks up to it and snatches the white table cloth off of it.

"Voila!" She says.

"I might just learn to like her" I whisper to Travis.

I tell the Dj what song I'm singing so that he can play the instrumental version. Then, I take the microphone from Kylie and stand on the table.

I chose to sing XO by my mother as a sweet song for the couple. After my performance, everyone applauds and Kylie thanks me. Now me and Travis needed a reason to go to the store. I walk over to the island where chefs are preparing the food. They were making smoked salmon. I look behind them and see a small shaker of capers. You can't have smoked salmon without capers. I look around before sliding the shaker into my purse. I then walk away and get a drink.

The chefs turn around and turn frantic, looking for the missing ingredient. My mission was complete. I search for Kylie until I find her.

"Kylie, the chefs don't have any capers" I say.

"Are you fucking serious? I just bought a shaker full" She says.

"Baby don't worry, Four and I will go get some right now. It will be fine" Travis says.

"Thank you guys so much" Kylie puts a hand on my shoulder.

As we turn around to walk to Travis' car, we try our best not to bust out laughing, but we do as soon as we get into his car. As we take off, Travis lights the blunt. While we're driving down the highway, I whip the capers out the window causing Travis to laugh. As we smoke, we pull up to an abandoned parking lot behind a building.

"Wanna do doughnuts?" Travis asks.

"On the day of your baby shower, of course" I smile.

Travis speeds and we start doing doughnuts. I don't know if it was the weed, but we could not stop laughing. After the blunt was gone, we went to the store. We probably looked high as fuck, so I put on sunglasses. Travis didn't care, he was a grown man. We went into Ralph's and got the capers, I also got Travis some eye drops and mints.

When we got back into the car, I gave them both to him.

"What's this shit for?" He asks.

"Nigga your eyes are redder than a motherfucker, and your breath smiles like ya' chewing on some loud. Do you want your baby momma to be pissed?" I ask, eating a mint myself.

He glares at me before putting the drops in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, you should be happy I'm supporting your relationship now" I say.

He gives me the middle finger while taking a mint out of the bag.

"And roll down the window while you're at it" I roll my window down, "Smells like a god damn hotbox in here."
