Damon Richmond

"Mmmmmmmm, grandma this shit looks gooooodddddd"I rub my hands together smiling like a little kid.

"It's thanksgiving all over again"Dianna said sitting down at the table.

"You brought the drinks and cake?"my grandma ask.

"Tiffani have the cake"I said. "And the drinks are in the car"

"Well go get it so it can be put in the ice chest"my grandma said.

"Dianna go get it"I joked. Dianna smack her lips and rolled her eyes.

"Here's the cake Ms.Tina"Tiffani said walking in the door. She kiss my grandma on the cheek and waved at dianna.

"Are you ready to meet the family?"grandma ask.

Tiffani took a while to answer. "Ummmm yeah I'm ready"she said.

"Bae they ain't that bad"I chuckle. Dianna touch Tiffani hands.

"They are bad. Trust me, they bash me for being pregnant"dianna said.

"That's because you 17"I said.

"So"dianna rolled her eyes. "I'm starving maw maw"

"We have to wait till your uncle and cousins and aunt comes over"grandma said.

"Damn dianna you greedy"I laughed.

"I'm eating for two damn"dianna said.

"So dianna you thought about staying with me and Damon?"Tiffani ask.

"Ohh uhhh, I'm staying with my baby father"Dianna said causing me to look at her like she was stupid. I wanted to cuss her out but then here comes my uncle.

"Ayyee everybody!!"he came in with his wife. He had on his church suit that was blue. White Sunday shoes and a white cowboy hat. "Look at my nephew"

"Aye unc"I smiled then hug him. I then hug his wife and talk a little. "I want y'all to meet my beautiful fiancé and babygirl davina"

"Wait. Where's the baby?"my uncle ask.

"In the stomach"Tiffani said. "Hi I'm Tiffani"she smiled.

"Oh wow. Your gorgeous. You scored the jackpot nephew"he smiled. "You must love her"

"I do"I smiled. Dianna got up from the chair and went upstairs.

"Alright y'all. Dinner is ready"my grandma said. Dianna came running back downstairs almost killing her self. I'm still not over with her moving in with her baby daddy who I really don't like.

"Babe. Want me to fix your food?"Tiffani ask me.

"Nah ima fix it. You relax a bit"I said then kiss her lips.

After fixing Tiffani and myself something to eat, I finally settled down at the dining room table.

"Grandma, where aunt at?"I ask while eating my steak.

"She said it's work. But it's that no good of a husband she got"my grandma said.

"Momma you know how she is"my uncle said.

"I know but she should be with her family and not with some man who don't love her"grandma said.

"Reminds me of me"Tiffani whispered.

"Stop"I grabbed her hand. "Your with a man who loves you, adore you, and cares for you. Don't ever forget it"

"So when y'all getting married?"my uncle wife ask.

"We don't know yet. I'm thinking having the wedding after the baby comes"Tiffani said.

"I want to get married now"I mumble.

"Don't rush nephew. She ain't going nowhere"my uncle laugh.

Dinner was fine. The family laugh, talk, and laugh some more. Tiffani was getting tired and wanted to go home.

"Alright everyone. I see y'all next week"I kiss my grandma goodbye and then shook my uncle hand. We finally left the house full from all the steak, shrimps, and loaded potato we had.

"You okay?"Tiffani ask.

"Why you ask?"I looked at her.

"When Dianna said she was living with her baby daddy. Your whole face turn different"Tiffani said.

"She don't know anything about this nigga"I mumble. "She moving to fast tiff and I can't stop her"

"You can. She's only 17 not 18"Tiffani said. "All you have to do is get her ass in the house and keep her there"

Every word Tiffani was saying was true. I have to do something. And fast. She's turning 18 quick.
