Chapter 2

~Charli~

The things I do for this woman, she got me running to the store for some Midol, Chocolate, and Magazines. Not just any magazines though she sent a specific list of magazines. She wants the new issue of People, Essence, Ebony and the previous version if they have it of Martha Stewarts Living magazine. Oh and lets not forget the chocolate. She said "Don't bring me back no nasty ass Hershey chocolate either!" No my baby only likes the good chocolate, the $5 dollars a bar chocolate.

What are we getting again dad? Medication and magazines for your mom. Is she sick? You could say that I said laughing. Dad can we get some snacks too? Yeah come on let's get her stuff first and then we'll hit up the snack aisle. We grabbed all the stuff she wanted before heading over to the toy aisle. Cause of course I am the push over parent and I always buy the kids something. Explains why baby girl has every Barbie that was ever created, and my son has an expansive Lego and superhero collection. Okay NJ pick out something. He looked around, I don't see anything I want dad. Seriously! Yeah, I am done with kiddy toys. You're 10 what you mean you're done with kiddy toys? I am just done with them, I like electronics now. Electronics huh! Yup I actually saw a new phone I... I knew it. Please dad! You are 10 NJ, what do you need with a phone? All my friends have one, I am literally the only one that doesn't have a phone. And what kinds of phones do they have? Most of them have I phones. I phones that's like an 800-dollar phone, little nigga I don't even have an 800-dollar phone what makes you think I'd buy you one? Dad, you do too and so does mom. Why can't I have one? Because you're 10!

I asked Titi to buy me one and she laughed at me. As she should asking for an 800-dollar phone. Please dad I promise I'll be good and I won't ask for nothing else the rest of the year. Damn right you won't cause I am not buying you an 800-dollar phone it ain't happening! Dad! Sorry for you partna now let's find your sister something. Ugh its no damn fair. Huh what was that you said? Nothing he said walking ahead of me. Yup this is my karma for being a knuckled head to Gigi, I got a full on mini me. Attitude, looks, and swagga, he's me reincarnated. I just hope that he doesn't make the same mistakes I made.

That'll be $97.86! Ain't this about a bitch I went in for a few things and ended up spending 100 dollars. You and your sister are spoiled. Us you bought mom those 5-dollar chocolate bars. Hey, I gotta do what I gotta do to survive that's what she wants that what she getsno arguments about it I said handing the cashier the $100 bill. You're son looks just like you. Yeah he does I said looking at him. Your wife is a lucky woman. Hmph she is, come on boy lets go for yo mama send out the search party on us. Dad! Yeah son I said driving to the house. Was that woman flirting with you? Huh! Was she flirting with you? Naw she wasn't she was just being nice. Hmm okay he said nodding as he looked out the window.

Honey we're home! Finally, I was dying she said grabbing the pills. You'll be okay! What was that? Nothing I said I got you the big bottle, so you will good. That's what I thought she pecking my lips. Nope don't start that cause you know ain't nothing happening. Who says? Eww gross I love you but not that much. For real you really gon play me like that Immanuel! Sure will Grace I said kissing her forehead. You get my magazines! Yup all 500 of them. I didn't ask for 500. Babe why won't you just get the subscription like normal people do. Because I buy based on who's on the cover. Like last month I didn't buy Ebony cause they had that Iylana woman on there. You mean fix my life Iylana Vanzant? Yeah, I don't like how she be treating people, so I wasn't about to give my $3.99 to look at her face. You are too much! You still love me though. True I do.
