Homeland

Anthony walks into the living room and snickers seeing Jaylen's hands in his shorts holding ice to his balls. Jaylen sends him a glare. 

"What do you want Mr I don't wanna help?"

Anthony walks over, "You're cooking dinner"

Jaylen snorts looking back at his phone. "No I'm not"

Anthony takes the phone. "Yes you are."

Jaylen takes it back. "No I'm not."

"Yes you are Jaylen. I'm not arguing with you on that."

"Dad. I'm not cooking I will poison your food."

Anthony rolls his eyes, "You are Jaylen"

"Are you deaf. No I'm not"

"Yes you are. Because I'm bringing someone home for y'all to meet"

Jaylen claps. "Awesome bring home food." Anthony smacks him on the head.

"Look up something to make and make it"

"You're going out! Go find something to buy!"

Anthony rolls his eyes yet again, finding this arugment pointless. "If I buy something I swear to god. I'm not buying you shit"

"That's fine. I'll cook me something"

They both glare at each other, before Anthony nods.

"Okay then give me your phone"

Jaylen holds his phone to his chest. "That wasn't part of the deal"

"It is now"

Jaylen glances at his phone where he was practically stalking Riley's instagram.

"No can do."

"Then go fucking cook."

"For myself. Oh sure."

"For everybody Jaylen"

Jaylen looks at him in disbelief. "Where did everybody come from. I thought some were staying the night at someone's house"

"Nope. So get your lazy ass up and go cook"

"No just go buy something!"

"Are you giving me the fucking money to buy something?"

Jaylen looks down pursing his lips and scratching his forehead, then looks up at his father. "Why don't they all pay for their own food?" 

Anthony rolls his eyes, "They all cook beside you you're not special."

"See now you ain't had to lie like that. We both know half these boys do not and I mean NOT know how to cook"

Anthony stares at him then glances at the tv.

"They use their own money to buy food Jaylen."

"That's why we had burgers the whole month." Jaylen sighs at his stupidity.

"Fine I'll cook or whatever"

"Get to it. I'm leaving to go grab my friend"

Jaylen nods standing up with a wince. 

"And don't mess with Xenon" Anthony adds.

"I wasn't!"

Anthony knew that was a lie. "Just leave him alone. If he says you were messing with him Jaylen. I'm gonna beat you."
