(Throwback of Euphoria & Creed as a newborn)
{Euphoria C. Johnson}
"Creed.." I drowsliy rub my eye and picked up my 6 month old son, tickling him to awaken.
I gave Creed his bath. He was ready.
It being five in the morning. I had to get him ready to visit Gram's. She Illegally owns a daycare that only a minimum of seven children are allowed. Due to the small house and not having enough space. I didn't trust any of the nanny's my parents would hire. So I would take him there.
My gram was the type to do for not only single mother's, but young parents who were responsible and can't afford to have their kid go anywhere else.
She loves where she's from, and so do I. But since I live in Beverly Hills with my parents, surrounded by boujee peeps.
Back to Gram. She loves her people and always kept me updated on What's been going on in the neighborhood.
She'd sit on her little porch, watch the kids play in the gated front yard and be nosy.
Gram mostly raised me, and taught me to hustle for what I want. My parents would tell me not to listen to that nonsense and we don't hustle.
It's always been an argument between my grandma and parents.
My parents are Realtors, they make a good amount of money. I mean good amount.
You can say I'm a spoiled brat, but I lived normally and always snuck out every night just to be at my Gram's or out about in Crenshaw hanging with my boyfriend at the time in my teenage years.
I give credit that my parents are hardworkers, workaholics. Live in a well known gated community. But, sometimes we dont see eye to eye and they never understood why I act out.
Our bodyguard named Dwayne always escorted me back home, everytime I ran away. He'd ride in this really expensive bulletproof windowed Cadillac, and always carried a gun.
No one would ask me questions, No one would try to test Dwayne.
I thought it was too much, they never really raised me like they could've. They'd force me on poor Gram. When they needed "Space."
Im the only child and they stuck to having one child. They claim I was too much to handle. Really, they just wanted to have sex, go out, and act young instead of their age.
Including, not wanting to spend more money on another child.
They still showed love and spoiled the hell outta of me. But, as I got older. I grew out of wanting to be around them and only Gram. Hell, they don't even like their own grandson. They called me careless for getting pregnant and said I was too hood for them. Im not the daughter they once knew.
