Ariella POV// Ari
My week was hectic and finally it wasn't. A whole bunch of family had came into town for the Fourth of July and my cousins who were around my age were staying at my house since I didn't mind and you already know Ayanna and Tiana made they way here too.
"So Ari you dating again?" My cousin Ciara asked
"No not as of right now" I lie giving a small smile.
"You'll find someone soon and you know why?"
"Why?"
"Cause you are that bitch okay" she said doing the period motion
"Period all that and a bag of chips" Tiana co-signed
"What y'all talkin about?"my other cousin Kiana said sitting at the table
"Ari getting a man"
"You ain't picked you up one of these celebrity niggas?" She asked
"Nah I'm not looking for a man"
"She need to stay single anyways" Ayanna said
"Girl shut up" Ciara mushed her head
"What cause once she get a man I won't be able to come over as much we don't need that"
"You barely come over"I laugh
"I do"
"So tell us about the album?" Ciara said sipping her coffee
"It drops the ninth"
"What time?"
"Midnight"
"I should've pre-ordered it Huh?" She made a yikes face
"None of that matter as long as you support" Tiana told her and we slap hands
"We love to see family support family" Ayanna slyly looked over at Kiana.
"I-" Tiana started and laughed
"You a mess" me and Ciara tell her at the same time
"Well ima start getting ready" Kiana got up from the table going back upstairs
"I can't stand her fake bougie ass" Yanna rolled her eyes
"This the last day" I sigh in relief
"Let me tell y'all. I went to aunt Lucinda house and Kiana had to move back in wit ha"
"Word" i gasp
"Mhm my momma said Kiana was letting that nigga steal from under her nose" Ciara said causing us all to shake our head
"Damn" I say lowly
"Still don't like her" Ayanna shrugged
"Stop she going through some tough shit" I smack her shoulder
"Ari you are really too forgiving" Tiana said
"For real" Ciara added
Okay here's a backstory let's make it short and simple. When I was trying to get a deal and move out to LA Kiana came to visit and stole a large amount of money from me. I forgave her though cause that's family but it's always felt like a hidden animosity was there.
"That bitch would've been sleeping outside" Ayanna said causing us all to gasp
"Or in that hotel wit ha mammy" Ciara said slapping hands with Ayanna
"Better hope she ain't up there stealing now" Tiana said making me jump up.
I went upstairs and heard the shower water running so she was actually showering. I made sure all my valuables were still where I had them and they were.
