Brown Sugah Baby

Chapter 2

As the first 2 months of their junior year flew by; Nefe and Nattie, had to prepare themselves for a frightening event: Midterms. Midterms were every college kids worst nightmare. Especially before homecoming, yet something made them bearable: Parents Day. Parents Day was a huge event at Southern University, for the students. You can spend the whole day with your parents and show em around campus, or just chill with them for a few hours. Which meant the girls would travel back home to Miami, Florida, along with M'Baku.

"Hey Nattie! You got the dessert for the cookout right? Moms wants pecan and apple." Walking around the store, Nefe had to make sure she got everything on the list her mom gave her.

"Yep. Both pies. Do we need ice cream too?" Nattie asked while going down the dessert aisle." She was more than just Nefe's best friend. She was her sister.

Nattie was officially adopted into Nefe's family when her parents died, when she was 12. They've been best friends ever since. A bond that couldn't be broken, that was strong than super glue. Growing up in Miami, Hialeah go be exact, wasn't easy by any means. Natasha's parents were murdered in a hit and run, while she was at school. The news put her in shock and she didn't know what to do. So by being so close to Nefe's family, they took her in with open arms. So parents days meant everything and more to Nattie than ever.

Once the kids were of age, Julian and Regina decided to move the family to Tallahassee for a better life and job opportunities. Nattie's parents had set aside a growing college fund for her, so Nefe's parents matched it. There was no way, Regina was going to let her best friends' only child not live a better life.

"I think dad got it. We just need the ribs; hot dogs and buns. Both burgers and hot dog buns."

Grabbing what they needed, heading towards the checkout lane, they were stopped when Melanie spotted them.

"Well lookie, lookie. It's the trash community." The triumphant smirk on her face shone, with the help of her two side hoes by her sides; Jordana and Stacy. Of all places to go run into them at a time like this. Yeah they grew up together and went to SU. Which meant they too went home.

"I see there's a mirror there, Melanie. You seein your reflection while talkin out the side of your mouth?" Nattie couldn't help but chuckle at her best friends comeback.

"Very funny. Listen, when you see M'Baku tell him to come by my dorm tonight. Comprende?"

"Or is that too much for you to understand?" Jordana enunciated each word, trying to be funny.

Nattie and Nefe looked at each other and let out a gut wrenching laugh.

"Comprende? Oh you think you funny huh? I can speak about, 4 different languages, and bitch is one of em. Don't try me." Nefe sucked her teeth in annoyance.

Eyeing them all up and down, Nattie scoffed and spoke up.

"Why do you even torture yourself, Melanie? No guy really sees anything with you. Oh yeah, and M'Baku wants nothing to do with you either." Both of them moved past her, to finish their shopping.

"Then why can't he stay away? He still loves all of this," Gesturing towards herself before walking away, Melanie waved goodbye. "and not a peanut shaped hoe like you."

"Then why are his parents at our house for a Parents Day barbecue? Know your place." Nefe waved back in a mocking tone, watching her storm off.

"Of all the Walmart's in town, you'd think she'd have the common sense." Nattie, scoffed heading to the car.

"Common sense isn't common for her." Even Nefe knew herself, that she couldn't get M'Baku to leave Melanie alone. Sure enough it bothered her more than before.
