"SeSe, pleaseeee?" I begged.
"Chile get out my damn ear with that nonsense! I'm not bakin' no cookies and wastin' my milk for some character!" She snapped.
"Right, like he ain't even real, Ri." Harmonia said.
"Yes he is!" I argued, tears filling my eyes.
"Whatchu bouta cry for? Because I'm stating facts? Mir know he ain't real too." Harmonia remarked.
Samir walked into the kitchen with daddy and sat on the counter.
"Mir know what?" He asked.
"Boy, if you don't getcho ass of my freshly polished counter." SeSe popped the p in polished. "I'll give you a whoopin' you'll never forget."
He slowly slid off the counter while maintaining eye contact with SeSe.
"So what are we gettin' for Christmas?" I asked.
"Whatever we could afford. What you so worried about Christmas for?" Daddy answered.
"Because I'm tryna see if Santa gonna come or not!"
I saw Harmoni and Samir look at each other and start laughing.
Just then, daddy's girlfriend, Brya, walked in with nothing but a robe on.
Me, SeSe, Harmoni, and Mir call her Bryan behind her back.
"Hi guys!" She chirped.
It had fell silent and now we were all looking at each other.
"Hey Bryan!" Samir tried to mocked her.
SeSe busted out laughing and so did Harmoni.
I smiled hard, trying not to laugh.
Daddy glared at Mir and Mir looked at him back, smiling.
"Damn, my nephew bold. Just like I taught him. Ain't that right?" SeSe said, holding her hand out for Mir to high five it.
He high fived her hand and smiled, showing his silver teeth in the back.
Brya rolled her eyes and made a stank face to Samir.
