Chapter (5) : The Dinner Pt.1
Jay'Shawn's POV:
Nevaeh: "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Wake Up! We're Landing!" My oldest daughter shouted. Her little hands tugged at the sleeve of my Nike pull-over. I groaned as I sat up to stretch while the plane landed and ordered her to sit back in her seat next to my sleeping wife Harmony. I knew I should've had her next to me, Vae is a busy body. Well of course, she's only 4. Since Harmony is pregnant with our third child right now, she needs all the sleep she can get. I reach over to rub her belly to wake her up. Surprisingly, it works every time. After a few rubs, her eyes shot open and she glared at me.
Harmony: "What?" She frowned. She's cranky every time I wake her up.
Me: "Calm down, baby. It's time to go. Grab Jayceon and Vae, I got the luggage." I said before kissing her forehead and getting up.
As I carried the luggage to the limo that momma sent to come get us, I began to wonder a few things. My mom never had enough money to take us out on a trip to Michigan Adventures, so I wonder how the hell she get the money to afford a limo and she even offered to pay for all of our plane tickets. Of course I denied that offer and paid for myself but something don't seem right.
Harmony: "Baby is it alright if we stop to get the kids something to eat before we go?" My wife asked.
Me: "I would say yeah but we really right down the street from their house." I replied and she nodded. I'm just going by what my mom told me, so they better live right down the street.
Once we arrived to the house, no the mansion. I nearly made the driver turn back around. I thought I was gonna come to reunite with my mom and sisters and be able to brag about how great I'm doing. But damn, they obviously doing better than me. I wanna know what they was scheming up when they left home.
Nevaeh: "Oooh! Daddy look at the prwetty house!" She wiggled in glee as she attempted to take her seatbelt off. She couldn't wait to get in the house.
Me: "Yeah, I see." I shook my head and sighed. They been living large on the west coast. I'm starting to wonder if they change on a brotha. Harmony could tell I was bothered and pulled me aside as we stepped out the limo.
Harmony: "What is it? You okay?" She asked as she caressed my cheek. I nodded and kissed her lips. Before grabbing Jayceon.
Me: "Come on, monster." I smiled as I picked up my awaking son from his car seat. He gave me that mean mug he always have on his face when he wakes up and that just made me chuckle. "You get it from ya momma."
Harmony playfully hit me as we all walked up the steps to the mansion. A man offered to take our luggage and basically left me no choice but to let him. He used a card to unlock the first set of doors that led to a chill area and then my mom was standing behind the other side of the second set of doors. I wonder why they got so much security. Ion think anybody that dumb to rob the only black people in LA. As I picture my moms crazy ass with her metal bat and hair rollers in, I chuckle to myself. Harmony looked at me weird but it's just an insider.
Momma: "My baby!" My mom cheered in joy and trapped me into her once open arms. She kissed my cheek repeatedly and squeezed me tight. I missed my mom, I really did. So, I'll let her get her loving in this time.
Me: "Hey Momma, look at you in ya purple dress. You doing ya thang, ain't cha?" I chuckled and hugged her bad. I know her favorite color has always been purple, she looks great in it, but she only wears purple for one reason. Good luck. My momma is hiding something, I know it. I can feel it. I can see and smell it. "Ooh, momma you cooking?"
Momma: "Boy, you know it's food in there." She laughed.
Me: "Mom, this is my wife Harmony. Baby, this is my mother Nicole." I introduced them.
Harmony: "Hi, How are you? My name is actually Alisha but everyone calls me by my middle name because my moms name is Alisha too. Don't ask why." She rattled nervously.
Momma: "Alright sweetie, nice to meet you and is this my grandson Jayceon?!" She squealed before grabbing him from Harmony. He instantly started to cry but momma always had a way with babies. It was the way she held them and swayed them in the air to keep them mesmerized. Lil Jay had already stop crying and we're just staring at her as he cooed. Somehow, she managed to hypnotized everyone around her when she did that because they'd be so focused on what she was doing. That happened this time but it seems that it isn't child proof.
Nevaeh: "I'm Nevwaeh!" She announced while tugging on the bottom of my moms dress to get her attention.
Momma: "Hi Nevaeh, I'm your Nana. How old are you?" She asked. Vae held up four of her little fingers and shouted out the lucky numbers as if her brother is dead.
Harmony: "Vae, what did I tell you?" She scolded. Vae looked at Harmony with fearful eyes because she knows better.
Nevaeh: "Use inside voices.." She mumbled.
Harmony: "Now apologize to your grandmother." She demanded.
Nevaeh: "Sorry, Nana." She looked down and Harmony and I both gave her that look. She raised her chin, and looked at mom in the eye. "I'm sorry, Nana." She apologized properly. My mom looked satisfied and smiled.
Momma: "You're okay sweet heart, let's go introduce you to your Aunties." They both walked to the back hallway while I led Harmony to the Kitchen.
Andre's POV:
Drama, and bullshit. Then more drama, and more bullshit. That's the highlight of my day. As I walk through Victoria Secret looking for new underwear for Shawny, my boy Dev lets me in on the little incident that happened last night at D's crib. That shit just can't get any tougher than what it already is. By the way this nigga started to shake his head before he began talking, I already know he bout to tell me something crazy.
Dev: "Iight so, dig this. Rico and D girl Raquel or whatever got locked up for "prostitution" last night." He looked at away trying to hold in his laugh. My eyes shot open in shock.
Me: "Df typa shit is that?" I asked. I shook my head in disappointment. Outta all the years I've known that nigga, I ain't know he would get locked up for that shit. "What happened?"
Dev: "Here's the story I got," He looked around as I finished looking for some sports bras for Shawny. After I grabbed some matching shorts for her big ass, I walked towards the check out. "D came home and caught Miss Mexico fucking home boy in his bed while the twins were playing downstairs,dawg."
Me: "That's foul. She could've at least did it while his kids was gone. She loving the crew like a muhfucka." I might as well get used to shaking my head cause this right here just tragic. "What he do when he caught em?"
Dev: "These niggas ended up outside on the porch butt ass naked. I mean, just naked." He laughed hard. I tried to hold in my laugh but I couldn't help it. "Bro, imagine these niggas trynna get home." He laughed some more and I joined.
Me: "Man, that's crazy." I shook my head head once more before paying the cashier.
Dev: "Yo, that's not even the crazy part." He nudged me as we walked out the store. "D had niggas at the Trap burning all her shit this morning. From lotion and clothes, to her jewelry and electronic type shit. She literally ain't got shit left. He's not even gone bail her out."
Me: "Damn..." I commented. "That nigga was not playing."
Dev: "If he snapped like that, I wonder what he'll say about you being with Shawny. I mean, I'd rather you be with her anyway but I can still see that nigga tripping tonight." He said as we walked through the mall.
Me: "Well, we ain't gotta worry cause he ain't gone do shit to me. I ain't Rico, and Shawny ain't Raquel." I replied.
Dev: "Yeah, I feel you. You ain't the only one who shutting shit down if he start popping off at the mouth. It's crazy how he the most hated out of all of us. Jr & Ray gone be the first ones to get on his ass if he start to slipping." He pointed out. I agreed. I don't know why he will even bother to come to the dinner. But it's not my family to be stating my opinion. Not yet at least. Her pops will be meeting me for the first time tonight, I hope we turn out to get along. It always has been my motto to be cool with my girls pops. It makes the relationship last longer and run smoother.
Jay'Shawn's POV:
Me: "Thank you, Ma. This is really good. I can't wait until tonight." I complimented her food. She made us lunch and while she began cooking dinner early. I never thought I'd consider a sub food. Momma hooked it up. Harmony ate two and part of Vae's cause she couldn't finish hers. I remember when my mom didn't know how to cook. Microwaves was our chef all my childhood, well besides my sister Dee. Dee learned how to cook to feed us whenever times got rough. She learned from my dad and pushed the skill down to me. So if you asked me to cook you something, I'm making the De'Shawn's Famous- something. I miss my Sister, it's been about 15 years since I've seen her. I can't wait to see her tonight.
Momma: "You welcome baby, Momma picked up a few skills in the past, what is it?, fifteen years?" She asked. In the middle of my attempt to respond, the doorbell rang. "That'll be your brother."
She smiled and rushed to the door. My little brother Keith, the other light skin, walked through the door. His first name is Ke'Shawn but there's too many "Shawn's", so we just used his middle name. Behind him, in walked a super model. Well she looked like one at least. I'm all of 3 years other than Keith and he's taller than I am now. I'm only 6'1, this nigga look about 6'3. I guess Dee was right, he did end up taller than me. Damn, I owe her 50 now. I stood up to give him a hug and realized that the girl he was with is taller than me too. Ain't this some shit?
Me: "Damn, Bro. Where yah come from? The Amazon?!" I joked as I dapped him and gave him a hug.
Keith: "Ion know, Hbu & ya smurfette?" He shot back at me.
Me: "That was funny," I chuckled and gave him his props.
Momma ordered him to take a seat at the table so she can feed him and his girl. He introduced us to her as soon and he sat down. We learned that she's his girlfriend and her name is Maya. Funny thing is, she actually is a model. Introduced him to Harmony and the kids, then Momma had the twins come out and meet us too. She said her husband won't be home until Dinner because he was busy doing something. The day has started out great, I'm hoping it'll end just fine.
