Chapter NINE

_____

Aliyah

"I swear P, I have absolutely no idea what to buy him as a gift. Andre has everything already, so I don't even know what he wants. Every time I ask, he says I have everything I want already. I'm confused, and on top of that, his birthday is 2 days before Christmas. Damn, I hate shopping for other people." I complained to Paris as we both walked throughout the True Religion store. I was buying gifts for all of the boys in the family, which consisted of Andre, Trent, Aaron, and Marion. I picked up each of them a couple outfits as Christmas gifts.

"Li, calm down. Andre will be happy with just getting some birthday sex and that'll do for him. You can get him a custom piece of Jewelry made or something, I'm sure he'll like that. He'll be happy with anything as long as it came from you." she said and she was right. Although I could get him a simple card and a dinner, I wanted to do more than that. He bought me a car, and took me on a trip for my birthday, so I have to at least come close to his. I instantly got the perfect thing in mind. I'd have to get everything together quickly. Money could make anything happen.

"Paris, you're forgetting sweetheart, I just popped a 8 pound baby out of my coochie like 3 weeks ago. I'm not allowed to have sex until another 3 weeks or so. I'm not taking any chances until I've gotten my butt on birth control." I said and she started laughing. Hell, I don't know what was funny, because I'm dead ass about this. No more babies until I'm at least 25, Amani will be 6 years old by then.

"Yes, I feel you on that one. No more babies until we're considered fully grown, which is 21." she said and I nodded. I was definitely sticking to that motto. I loved Amani to death, but she is a hand full already at 3 weeks.

We continued to walk through the store and pick up extra things for the boys. Once we got to the register, my total alone came up to be $1,567.98. I wasn't complaining though. If you got it to spend, why not spend it? This was nothing that would hurt my pockets. Aliyah is forever straight. I'm not a billionaire, but I'm extremely far from poor. My father assured us of that while he was out on the streets.

We left out of that store and went on to the next, but this time we went inside of the Be-Be store with a hand full of bags. We'd already made 2 trips back and forth. This was all of the Christmas shopping we'd be doing for this month. We were running a lot behind due to my baby being born. We hadn't even set up a tree yet, so you know we were completely late on everything.

We got into the store and we both started picking up dresses for ourselves. I saw this perfect white dress hanging up on the wall that was a must get. The worker got the dress down for me, and I went over to look in the mirror. It was strapless with gold accents on it. It spoke to me, so I knew it was a winner. I wouldn't wear it now, but on Andre's birthday I would do so. I couldn't leave it here, and I wasn't. I got the dress and went on to look for my mother and Andre's mom a nice motherly dress.

As we were walking by, some girl managed to bump into me and in my mind it wasn't by accident either. I frowned and looked up to see who the rude bitch was, and Lord knows was I surprised. I stared into the face of the same girl I'd told off back in high school about Andre. I think her name was Tanya or Tania. Something like that, but the sight of this girl alone made my mood change angry real quick. All of the trouble she caused replayed in my head as I looked at her, with that stupid smile on her face.

"Excuse you, didn't your mother teach you manners?" I said looking at her as I tried to calm myself down. I'd handled her then, but seeing her after all this time made me angry all over again. This time I won't be so generous when it comes to her.
