Queen gets in the house after a long day of work. She worked from 8 P.M to 3 P.M the next day. Just imagine sitting in a chair for hours and hours until the next day doing nothing and having no one to talk to- not even your husband because he doesn't answer the phone either.
"Chris!", she calls out. But no answer. "Aaron, Mike, Marcus!?", she calls out. No answer. She takes her shoes off using her feet then walks to the counter of the kitchen. She pulls out her phone and calls Chris but of course she gets no answer so, she texts him instead.
"Where are y'all at?"
He suddenly responds immediately, "You at the house?"
"Yeah, why you not answering the phone?"
"I'm on my way back right now, clean up the kitchen for me baby".
Queen looks around the kitchen and she doesn't see anything out of place, no food out, all the dishes seem to be put away and washed.
"Mike or Marcus cleaned up already but, where's Aaron?"
"They took him to the park. Well clean the living room then".
"I'm tired, Chris. I'm going upstairs".
"Stay down stairs, I gotta talk to you about something".
"Chris, I'm going to lay down".
"Lay down on the couch".
Queen rolls her eyes, she goes over to the couch and sits down. She Facetimes Mike, "Y'all goin' places without momma bear?"
Mike chuckles, "We ain't know when you was comin' home, they way yo job is set up".
"What y'all bout to do now?"
"We bout to go get some Chick-fil-A, you want somethin'?"
"Yeah give me whatever y'all get because I don't eat from there so I don't know what to get".
Mike gives the phone to Marcus because he's driving. "You look like you need to get some sleep. Yo make up look old, sis".
Queen jaw drops, "Shut yo stupid, ugly, fat, stinky butt self up and put the phone to my son".
He laughs, "Look at yo mom, nephew".
"Ain't mommy pretty, still?"
Aaron smiled, "Yup".
"Yo megatron head uncle bein' mean to me, Aaron".
"Sis, I was just playin', you do look tired though".
"I know, I'm about to go take a nap anyway but, mommy will see you when you get back Aaron. Mike can you get me somethin' to drink, too?"
"Yeah", Mike responded.
"Okay, bye".
"Bye", Marcus said.
"I don't care what Chris say, I'm going in my bed", Queen said to herself. She gets off the couch like an old lady. As she gets to the middle of the stairs, Chris walks in and sees her.
"You irritatin', bro".
"How am I irritatin', I'm tired".
"Okay, but I told you I needed to talk to you down here. You don't listen", he said after he closed the door.
She sighs and walks back down stairs. He goes in the kitchen and sits food on the counter.
"Mike and Marcus are already bringing me food-"
"This not for you, this for me".
She sighs, "What you want, Chris?"
"You come home, go to sleep, then go out with your friends and you never have time for me".
