It was the day after thanksgiving and baby let me tell you. I think I gained twenty pounds. Between the food and alcohol? I don't know what did the most damage. I'm currently in the kitchen cleaning up about to make this detox water. It consisted of, mango, lemons, and pineapples. The pineapple is chock-full of bromelain, which is a anti-inflammatory enzyme. While the mangos help improve digestion to help de-bloat and flatten your tummy.

I grabbed a pitcher from the cabinet and filled it up with water. As I cut the fruit, I was throwing the pieces in the pitcher. I stirred the water and sat it in the fridge. It needs to chill for at least ten to fifteen minutes. I grabbed the broom from the closet and started sweeping the kitchen. I made sure I got under the table and chairs. After sweeping, I made some mop water. I heard footsteps so I looked around the corner saw Kailani and my daddy shuffling into the kitchen.

"You need me to do anything??" I nodded my head at my daddy and pointed towards the trash.

"What about me?" Kai said as she yawned and stretched.

I looked around the kitchen. "Can you wipe the table and counters down? Then we can move to the dining room." She nodded her head and grabbed some cleaning supplies from the cabinet

It took us at least forty minutes to clean up. I would've did everything last night but that drank put me straight to sleep. I really got a lot to do. I gotta find a graduation dress, gotta find gifts for Cam And Bari, Christmas shopping along with packing and shipping orders. Please pray for me. I shook my head and made my way to the basement.

"Baby! Is that you?" I shook my head as Cam yelled for me.

"Yes! It's me." I jumped the last step and trotted towards the bedroom. I walked in seeing him sitting up against the headboard with his mac in his lap. I took my shirt off which left me in my sports bra. I moved the mac and climb into his lap.

"Wassup beautiful?" He licked his lips and smiled in my face.

"Hey pooh." I cheesed and pulled at his beard. "How long you been woke?"

"I woke up as soon as you got out the bed."

I shook my head. He can't stay sleep unless I'm under him. "Can I ask you something?"

He nodded his head rubbing his hand up and down my side. "What's the issue between you and your siblings?"

He sighed and bit his lips. "Well I really don't have a issue with my sister, I just don't agree with her lifestyle, so we kind of bump heads about that a lot. She's an escort. Now my brother? He can kiss my ass for all I care. I don't like how he be doing our parents. He claims he's an artist but be going from state to state blowin money on drugs and women. He be stealing money out of our parents accounts and they think it's okay when I don't like that shit."

I frowned. "Oh wow. So your parents just let him take from them?"

"Yes and it makes me so mad. He uses the fact that they're rich as an excuse. Like my dad has been a therapist forever and my momma has been building and designing infrastructure way before we were born. So, basically they're sitting on a lot of money. Now my sister? I honestly don't know with her. She was supposed to be a lawyer by now, but instead she's in California being passed around by men."

Cameron shook his head as he finished talking. He looked deep in thought so I didn't say anything. Instead I just rolled off him onto my side of the bed wrapping my arm around his abdomen. I was in dire need of a nap. So, that's exactly what I did.

I felt some body shaking me so I swung my arm out only for it to be grab. Ugh! Who the fuck is waking me up.

"Girl I swear if you hit me."

I shook my head as I heard my daddy. I rolled over and sat up. I rubbed my face and looked at him. "Why you waking me up? What time is it?" I croaked out.

He shook his head and frowned. "Oooo girl why you sound like that and because you done slept long enough, come on."

I looked around the room noticed Cam was gone. So he must be upstairs already. I shook my head and stood up in the bed. "Let me get on your back."

"Girl what? You so fucking spoiled. Bring yo big butt on." He shook his head and turned around at the foot of the bed. I jumped on his back and he stumbled. I smacked my lips.

"You play too much." He laughed and hiked me up in his back before walking out of the room. He made his way towards the stairs and started jogging up them fast. I screamed. "Hollon daddy! Wait!"

We made it to the top and I jumped down—wobbling in the process. He looked at me and laugh. I pushed him and walked away. Turning the corner, I saw my family sitting at the kitchen table eating. I walked over towards Cam and bit his jaw. He swatted his hand at me. "Weird ass lil girl."

I laughed and walked over to the refrigerator pulling the door open. I grabbed the detox water and poured me a cup before placing the pitcher back inside. Making my way towards my mama. I sat beside her and rubbed her stomach. I still can't believe she's pregnant. "Ma."

She looked at me. "What?"

"Did you found out what you're having?"

"Oh! I forgot! Dakari, go get my bookbag please. And Bri whats going on with you and Keria?"

I rolled my eyes and sat against the back of the chair. "It's nothing going on between me and her. She just mad I won't give her a cuban link for Jaylen's Christmas gift."

Keria scoffed and I looked over at her. "Got something you wanna say? I thought so."

Our mama looked over at her and frowned. "Laura, what's wrong with you?"

"What? I just think it's unfair that we have to pay her when we're family."

"Girl shut the hell up."

I looked up and saw our daddy coming the stairs with my mama Loui bag.

"You sound stupid. What's wrong with supporting your sister? And what makes matters worst is that she offered to give us stuff for free but we said no. Even though she said no, she still put a discount in place just for us when she didn't even have to do that." Daddy frowned at her and passed mama her bag. "I don't know what that lil nigga done said to you, but you need to fix your attitude. It's real nasty."

Za'Keria got up and stormed upstairs to her room like the brat she is. Mama passed me a envelope and I got up going to sit by Kai. We tore the envelope open and scanned the paper before screaming. Me and Kai looked at each other before looking back at our parents. "Y'all sure y'all want us to plan this surprise babyshower?"

"Yep and don't go over budget." Daddy said as he sipped from his cup.

Me and Kai whipped are heads around. "Budget? Daddy bye! What y'all want for Christmas?"

My daddy shrugged his shoulders. "Surprise us."

I shook my head. I get some shit they don't like, I don't wanna here a thing. "When y'all going back home?"

"Not sure why?"

I took of sip of my detox water and licked my lips afterwards. "Because I might need y'all to help me package these orders for Cyber Monday."

My daddy nodded his head. "Okay we'll stay longer."

"Oh yea! That reminds me. I told mama but I'm not sure if she told you. I'm doing Christmas with Cam's family and then I'm going to fly to Cali for New Years." I told my daddy has I folded the envelope up and stuck it in the pocket of my leggings. My daddy nodded his head and looked over at Cameron.

"You want the jet or you gonna fly first class?"

"First."

The weekend came and went. It was now Sunday around eleven something at night and I was sitting in the bed up against the headboard with my mac in lap. Cameron had his head laid on my shoulder with his arm around my waist. But I'm the big ass baby? I shook my head. I was doing some Christmas shopping for the family and waiting on midnight to hit so I could post this flyer and a picture of the new piece. I had already fixed my website so there won't be any issues. My first Cyber Monday I touched a mil with fifty percent off. I know this one isn't going to be no different.

"Cam stop!" I screeched and tapped his face. Ever since I started biting him, he don't do nothing but bite and nibble against my skin every chance he get.

He popped my thigh. "Hit me again little girl."

I smacked my lips and pushed him off me. "Keep on and I'm going to show you a little girl. Pass me my phone."

He leaned over and grabbed my phone from the nightstand. It was eleven fifty eight. I shook my head and opened up the instagram app. I went through my pictures and typed the caption before posting it. I had over three hundred thousand likes already.

IT'S CYBER MONDAY!!!! 6O% OFF THE ENTIRE WEBSITE! USE THE CODE: YALL SEE THAT PICTURE ON THE RIGHT? YEA! THATS SOME NEW! I only had three hundred made so, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. It's under TWO PER ORDER! YOU HAVE EXACTLY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO USE THE CODE. GO SHOP, WEBSITE IS NOW ACTIVE. happy holidays from .

I shook my head and smiled as all my devices went off. I looked at my computer screen and saw all my notifications rolling in from the website and my emails.

"Damn baby. You doing it like this?" Cam grabbed my mac and turned it towards him.

I smirked and dusted my shoulders off. "One of the youngest doing it. I just know once I open up my storefront I'm going to make more than what I am now. That's my main focus once the new year hit."

Cam closed my mac and placed it on the nightstand before turning back around and pulling me into his chest. "Yea? I'm proud of you mama, but let's go ahead and go to sleep. You finna work us to death tomorrow and I need all the little strength I got."

I laughed clapping my hands which resulted in the lights going off. I snuggled into his chest and drifted off to sleep.

Cam and I woke up around nine the next morning and handled our morning hygiene. I was currently standing in front of the dresser looking for something to put on. I need to wash so I can start packing. I pulled a pair of Cam's briefs over my underwear and kept my shirt on.

"Brielle."

I heard Cam smack his lips. I turned around and saw him mugging me. "So just fuck my underwear huh? You keep stretching my shit out girl."

I waved him off and grabbed my glasses sliding them on my face. I picked up my phone, mac and ipad before standing in front of him. "You ready to go upstairs? I'm going to give you a reward for helping me."

"A reward huh?" He smirked and stood up. His first doctors appointment is next week. Hopefully we get some good news. I grabbed his crutches with my free hand and passed them to him. He slid them under his arms and walked in front of me.

I slid his phone in my shirt and walked behind him. We made it upstairs and Cam hopped his way towards the couch. Since he can't go up stairs, I brought everything from my pieces, boxes, to printer down except for my imac. I sat everything on the table and connected the HDMI cord to my MacBook and pulled the orders up so it can showcase on the tv. I shuffled out the orders because I'm doing all custom orders last. I did that and gave Cam his phone before walking off going towards the kitchen.

"Good morning family!" I saw my sisters and parents sitting at the table eating. "What y'all cook?"

"Just the basics. Pancakes and breakfast meat. You and Cam's plate is in the microwave." My daddy pointed.

I walked towards the microwave and pulled it open. I grabbed both plates and felt that they were still warm. I picked up a fork and grabbed the blueberry syrup from the cabinet. I sat that on the counter and pulled a cup down pouring some orange juice. I grabbed the plate plus the syrup before walking out of the kitchen.

"Here you go baby." I sat the cup on a coaster and passed him his plate. I walked over the wall and tapped the touch pad turning it on. I grabbed my phone and tapped on my r&b playlist. Jagged Edge x Good Luck Charm cam through the speakers. Cameron look up at me as I took a seat on the floor.

"And she saw the light. My shining star. She's so dear to me, yes, she is, she is." He started singing and I smiled shaking my head. I turned my printer on and pressed printer on my mac. All the labels started coming through. Since they were in alphabetical order, that's how I started. First order consisted of two diamond crosses, and a rose gold cuban link. I stood up and grabbed three velvet boxes placing each piece in the right sized box. My folks eventually made their way into the living room. I had a assembly line going on. It started with me and ended with my mama. I didn't want her doing too much so all she was doing was placing the boxed boxes in the mail bin.

"Whew!" I blew out a breath and fell back against the floor. It was midnight and we were finally finished. We packed over three thousand orders. I don't know how we did it but we got it done. I definitely gotta give them something. I looked around the living room and saw that everybody was sleep. My mama was on the couch with Cam. with her legs in his lap. I shook my head. I know you fucking lying. My daddy long ass was laid back in my recliner. Kai and Keria were both on the other couch. With Kai at the top and Keria at the bottom. I smiled. I'm very thankful because I don't know how I would've did it.
