"What's wrong with him?" He frowned. "What's wrong with you?"
"None." He shook his head. "I'm chilling."
"Oh well. Guess I'm chilling too." He shrugged, replacing his previous facial expression with a nonchalant one.
"Okay can y'all move from in front of the door? Y'all letting all the A/C out." Zaza looked at us.
"Damn Zaza you kinda baldhead." Kris jerked his head back. Her natural hair was in a small afro.
"Stop playing with me boy. I cut my hair."
"She always using that lame ass excuse." Daddy rolled his eyes. I see he had an attitude today.
"Banks you at neckssss!" Chauncey hollered.
"Come on." I grabbed Kamiri's hand leading him to the living room.
"This you?" He picked up my 9th grade school picture that my Dad had framed.
"Omg give me that." I bust out laughing, reaching for it.
"No." He moved it up some. "This big ass smile on your face. Happy ass. You got a unibrow? I'm finna fie yo ass up on cripppp!"
"Stop playing with me." I laughed a little, feeling hit. My Dad was big on embracing being natural so when I first came to live with him, he didn't really want me to get my eyebrows done.
I wasn't bout to be walking around looking like no Neanderthal though so I changed his mind real quick.
He a give me the world if I asked for it foreal.
"Now you mad?" He laughed.
"Ain't nobody mad. You're just playing on my top."
"I'm playing on your top?" He mocked me and laughed some more. "You so proper."
"The It bitch has arrived!" Nay came through the door with Daja behind her.
"The itch bitch." Kris joked.
"Kris stop fucking playing wit me." She bust out laughing.
"My favorite pregnant bitch! How you doing?!" She ran and hugged Zaza like she hadn't seen her in forever.
"Hey girl." She spoke irritability. Her contractions had been killing her so she was not in the mood. "Wassup Daja."
Kamiri and I were sitting down while they all stood, crowding around.
"Aub? Girl what you doing here? What any of y'all doin here? I thought this was a family dinner."
"Yeah and we family now love." Aub nodded. She wasn't feeling my sister's after I gave her the backstory on them.
"Period." I chuckled.
"Oh hey Buddha bitch! Ian even see you!" Daja came over to hug me.
"Wasssuppppp sissy Pooh?!" Nay exclaimed. "Feel like Ian see you in forever."
Were they really gonna act like they didn't ignore me for damn near three weeks? And then come in here like shit was cool? What the fuck?
THIRTY-FIVE.
