《 Family 》
Interlude
✦Family is where the heart is.
_____________________________
It's Thanksgiving morning and I was up early with Kim to help get everything ready and to help her cook dinner. Quincy and I had stayed over at the mansion for the night because Diddy wanted all of the family to be there for Thanksgiving day.
Diddy invited my mother and my sister over as well, he said it wouldn't be much trouble to him because there was really only three of us.
I was flattered that he considered me and my family, his family as well.
My mom planned on bringing jerk chicken while Alex was bringing Merengón de Fresas which was a Colombian strawberry meringue dessert. I was making rice and peas with curry goat, and Kim was making roast beef, turkey (of course), macaroni and cheese, collard greens, corn bread and fried chicken. My mouth watered at the anticipation of her southern cooking.
I was currently boiling the rice while pouring the peas in the pot as Kim bent down to put the corn bread in the oven. "So when are you gonna give me a gorgeous grand baby? She asked with a wide smile as I shook my head and laughed.
"I don't know about that, Miss Porter." I said lightheartedly as I put a stick of butter in the rice along with some thyme. "Quincy and I are both at good points in our career.. a baby will just slow us down."
"Mmhm." She hummed before giving me a knowing look. "Is that really it? Or is it because you're afraid he'll do something stupid like leave you high and dry?"
Stopping, I processed her words. I couldn't understand how or why she could read me so easily but she could. I allowed her words to evoke hard thinking from me before I turned back to her. "I don't know.. maybe. With this whole thing going on with his ex and stuff.. I don't want him to wake up one day and realize that I'm not what he wants anymore, you know? And with a baby, that would just make it all even more painful and complicated."
