I've impressed Mani with the car seat and its installation, but I let her buckle Chris in since I'm not that skilled yet.
With Normani and Chris in the back, and Tia up front with me, I drive us towards the zoo.
.
It's a nice day to walk around the zoo, admiring all the magnificent animals. Except Tia insists on holding onto me like I'm going to run off and chase the lions.
"It's hot." I complain as I pry her hands off of me.
Tia huffs and plays with her engagement ring instead.
Why the fuck is she acting like this? Is she jealous? Of what? One glare towards mani and I have my answer. But Mani and I weren't together- Oh. Tia doesn't know that Ana and I weren't together, together. She doesn't know it was only one night. She must think we were together but doesn't know what broke us up. Well I'm not telling her shit.
" Christopher," Tia insists on call Chris by his full name. "would you like some yummy cotton candy for your wittle tummy?"
Chris doesn't respond to Tia so I ask her.
"No thanks, mama. I'm lergic."
"He's allergic to cotton candy?" I ask Mani.
"He doesn't like it." Mani amends. "If he doesn't like something, he's 'allergic' to it. I don't mind that he's 'allergic' to cotton candy, though. Too much sugar."
"Is he allergic to anything?"
"Not that I know of, no."
Tia continues trying to get Chris to talk to her, but Chris wont even look her way. It's actually quite funny to watch. It isn't until Tia suggests getting Chris a coke that Mani steps in and turns down the offer politely.
