"The thing is that I'm not looking for people to just serve me" I handed Delaine a box of new shoes. "I'm looking for a new family. I'm looking for people that's gon' build together and have each other's backs"
He nodded his head quickly.
"Thank you"
"That's it? You at least need a pair of shoes for every day of the week." I said.
"No thank you. Could I get my sister something?"
I liked that he wasn't greedy.
"Of course" I said.
He went to the kids section and picked out a pair of rain boots.
I checked the size and picked her up two pairs of tennis shoes.
I went to the register and paid for all of his stuff before taking him home.
After that, I went to go pick up Wesley.
We went to go get a meal together.
"How you doing, Wes?"
"I'm doing great. Thank you. How are you?"
"If you're great, then I'm great. How's the baby?"
He shook his head. "She doesn't even know what sleep is. She's doing better now that she can eat enough. My baby mama and I really appreciate that you got the formula for us."
"No problem. I got babies myself. I know how it is" I brushed it off.
Nemiah cried for no reason most times though. Always wanting attention.
I had ordered for myself cause I didn't want to wait on niggas.
I called the waiter over and Wes ordered.
"I'l pay you back as soon as I can" Wes said.
I nodded. "If you want to"

"Nice place" Amina looked around.
"This our first spot" I told her.
"Ew. Just say your"
I looked at Nemiah and she was not happy sitting in that convertible car seat shit.
If she had teeth to bite me, she would.
I went to get her. "My bad"
She had little barrettes in her hair today.
"You look pissed, Nem" I kissed her cheek. "Show daddy some gums"
Instead, she looked around the empty house.
"Y'know that cocaine I was telling you about? Well this is the place I'm stashing it. Nice, huh?"
She sneezed a little baby sneeze and looked exhausted afterwards.
My phone vibrated, and I got it out.
Nem leaned up in my screen as I texted.
"What are you smiling at?" Amina asked.
"Why? You tryna make me smile?"
"Ew"
"Not only do you have to accept me as a business partner, but as a brother too" I said.
"You're no brother of mine"
"Amina, just accept me" I texted Monica back and put my phone away.
"Not a chance"
Nem leaned all up in my face and started to laugh when she was centimeters away from my eyes.
