"HOLON BAD BITCH ASS FAT 40 INCH HAIR YOURS CAME IN A PACKK" I yelled in my dad's face.

He side eyed me then went back to cooking.

"Ouuu this my song daddy, THREW AWAY YOURR LOVE LETTERS THOUGHT IT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER" I sang rubbing his bald head.

"Aiza cuh, leave me the hell alone" he finally said. I smiled then leaned my head on his shoulder "Daddy, you gon buy the 6's that coming out?"

He cut the stove off "Yea for me, why?"

I mugged him "Daddy stop playing, they're so cuteee"

"Mmmmm" he sounded staring at me blankly.

"Anywayssss food finished?" I asked causing him to roll his eyes and motion towards the pots.

"Yea I made shrimp and grits, go get ya mama"

I nodded then ran up the stairs "Mommy food is ready" I told her than ran back down the stairs.

"Aiza you need to do better, the food not going nowhere.."

"Can you take a picture of the food so I can put it on my snap?" My dad asked handing me the phone.

I looked at him for a minute then just took the picture.

"Yea this the one" he said typing something on his phone.

While we were sitting down, my dad's phone started to ring.

"Hello?"

"Yea, I made shrimp and grits cuh, this ain like what I used to make when we was locked up tho"

"Mhm my wife buy that good cheese"

"Ight I'll have your plate"

When he hung my mom and I eyed him. "Alijah, who you got coming to my house?" She asked.

"Cassandra mind your business" I let out a laugh as they started going back and forth.

Soon they got interrupted by the door bell ringing. My dad got up and headed towards the door.

"Aiza make my nigga a plate please?" I rolled my eyes and got up to make the plate.

"This my friend Gutta" he announced causing me to look up.

I saw it was Kareem and rolled my eyes some more.

"Wassup Aiza?" He spoke smirking at me, my daddy looked between us then spoke "How you know my daughter nigga?"

"She my girlfriend" he claimed causing me to drop the spoon.

I looked to my mama who sat there eating her food. "He lying daddy, I just met him a few weeks ago through Maya" I quickly explained.

He mugged us but went back to the table. "Mmmm give him his plate so he could go"

I handed Kareem his plate but he grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. "You wanna go sit in my car for a minute?"

I rolled my eyes but grabbed my plate and followed him.

When we walked outside I noticed this was definitely not the car he drove the last few times I saw him. Instead of his Trackhawk, it was a BMW.

"I like this car" I commented as we got inside.

He nodded and opened the foil on his plate "I ain know you knew my nigga Alijah"

"I don't just know him, I came out the nigga sack" I told him, then started laughing at his face.

"You were in prison with my daddy tho?" I asked.

"Yea, I met him in there and we got out around the same time" he said.

We finished the rest of our food then started talking some more.

"Why you tell my dad we together?" I asked causing him to laugh.

"Cause we are" he said looking up at me.

I scrunched up my face "No the hell we not, it's giving delusional"

He mugged me then got on his phone. "Kareem, how you mad?"

"Kareeeeeem" I called, only to be ignored.

"Gutta" his head snapped up and he frowned.

"Ion want you calling me that, just Kareem." He said sternly.

I nodded then put my feet up on his dashboard only for them to be slapped down.

I rolled my eyes then placed them on his lap "I am sooo bored, entertain me"

"You tryna come to my house?" He asked rubbing his beard.

"I'd have to ask" I told him.

He let out a laugh "Aww I forgot you a youngin"

"Mmm you only like 20, and I'll be 18 in like a month sooo"

"Soooo you still a youngin" he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and opened the door to leave

"I'm playing mamas, go ask if you can come. Tell him I'll bring you back in a few hours"

______________

After a long talk with my daddy about where I'm going, why I'm going, what time I need to be back, and methods of safety. I was able to go with Kareem and we were now at his house.

"WHAT FUCKIN FOUL" I rolled my eyes because my thing is if I told you that I was bored, then you invite me to your house why would you get on the game?

"AIZA WHERE THE FOUL?" He turned to me causing me to shrug.

After 30 more minutes he cut the game off and dimmed the lights. "What you wanna watch mamas?"

I cuddled under his covers "Ummm Hercules?"

He scrunched up his face but put Disney Plus on for me. "After the movie imma take you home okay?"

"Okay" he laid his head on my chest and turned towards the TV.
