Mama Harley

"Is that her car right there?" Mama Harley asked leaningforward in her seat

"Has to be, grandma and grandpa bougie they only like Cadillac's and Escalades" Marley scoffed handing her mother the gym bag they'd packed

"Don't be rude, come in and speak" Harley her daughter

Both stepping out the car Harley made it to the door first and run the doorbell.

"Ma, it 12 in the morning, they sleep" Marley stepped around her mother giving the door a hard knock.

Seconds later the door was pulled open revealing Harley's father Clyde.

"Hey grandpa" Marley jumped in front of her mother pulling the grey haired man into a tight hug.

"Hey there Mars" he reached down returning her hug

Despite being 67 years old grandpa Clyde didn't look a day over 40, he was still working and performing like a young man due to him working out and eating healthy.

Their grandma Jewel was the same way, at the age of 62 she had already retired and started her a little side job making clothes for babies and kids up to the age of 10.

"Hey dad" Harley stepped up behind Marley

"How you doing?" Clyde asks opening his arms for a hug

"I've been fine, What about you and mama?" Harley questioned the following behind him into the main area

"You know we always gon be good as long as the money coming in" Clyde released a hearty laugh

"Where is grandma?" Marley ask

Usually she'd be running downstairs to be nosy, and offer her guest food and drinks.

"She in the back room with low, the door closed so she don't even know y'all here"  Clyde began leading them back

"No need to bother them, I came to drop off her bag and medication" Harley held out the gym bag for him to grad

"Tell mama I'll be back this weekend to come see her" she added

"Alright then, it was nice seeing you lil Mars" Clyde pulled Marley into a side hug

"Ian leaving yet, what y'all had for dinner" Marley shrugged his arm off her shoulder going to wash her hands

"We had chili dogs, Maddox came over with all his lil bad chillan so we did something simple" Clyde followed behind Marley to the kitchen

"Ma you want some" Marley asked pouring water over the cold hotdogs and placing them on the stove

"Yea make me one and get me some barbecue lays" Harley answered back

"How my great grands doing?" Clyde asked settling on one of the swivel stools

"They doing good, Ly is on the basketball team, and lyric is in dance, and I don't know if she mentioned it to y'all be she took in a 14 year old" Harley shared taking out some sliced cheese

"That's probably why she always stressed, she got a big heart" Clyde shook his head

"She's a good kid though, and I think if anything she'll help take some stress off, plus she's old enough to do for herself and help out with ly and lyric" Marley vouched grabbing the buns off the counter

"Well we told her anytime she need to run away we always here, we got three extra bedrooms so her and the kiddos always welcomed" Clyde expressed

"I knew I heard you down here talking" jewel peeked around the corner excitedly
