“You did what’s supposed to be done,” Saleem told her.
“Was I talking to you? You’re just happy to sit me down because you know how I am. I would have been swinging from that crystal chandelier.”
“Not that chandelier,” I spoke up.
“Definitely that one. You would have had to bill me later.” We all laughed.
“Well, since this is y’all last day here, we’re going to have game night tonight. No heavy drinks. I actually don’t want to see another drink for a while,” I said, sipping my orange juice.
“Lightweight,” Saleem jested.
“I am. I haven’t drunk like that since Ash’s twenty-first birthday.”
“Speaking of Ashton… Where is he?”
“Right here,” he announced, coming around the corner with Latrice following.
“Latrice? I thought you went home?” Bunny asked, looking between her and my brother. I chuckled because I already knew what went down after seeing them hugged up all night.
“Umm… yeah, I wasn’t going to make it back home. I had too much to drink last night.”
Bunny giggled. “I figured.”
“Well, you may as well come have breakfast since you’re here,” my mother said.
“Oh, no thanks, I’m going to go—”
“Nah… I ain’t ready for you to go yet,” Ashton said, pulling out a chair for her. “Have a seat.” Latrice looked around the room then took a seat as Ashton sat next to her. Nala bumped my leg as she smiled and ate her food. I shook my head knowing Ashton’s sap ass had already put a claim on her.
“Ashton,” Nala called out.
“What’s up, sis?”
“I’m sure she has to go. Right Trice?”
“She’s where she wants to be. Ain’t that right, Trice?”
Latrice blushed lightly then looked at Nala. Their eyes conveyed something that I couldn’t understand, but they did.
“Surely I can spend one more night… If that’s okay with your almost hubby.”
“Aye, as long as y’all clean up behind yourselves, I don’t care how long you stay. And please, don’t use the same fork—”
“Baby. Stop,” Nala said, placing her hand over my mouth. I kissed her fingers then her neck as she blushed.
“Pure, do you know what you’re having?” Mama Charlotte asked.
“No… We want it to be a surprise. I’m hoping it’s a girl, though, so we can drive him extra crazy.” She laughed.
“You just love to torture me, don’t you?”
“I live for it,” she said, blowing a kiss at him.
“My mommy and daddy are going to give me siblings too!” Makari spoke up.
“Makari, don’t you mean sibling?” Lionel asked.
“Nope. Daddy said they’re going to give me two or three siblings.”
