IT WAS A PRETTY CHILLY DAY, as the colorful leaves flew around as the wind gently blew. It definitely seemed like it an autumn like day. The whole Brown family, along with other close family friends had gathered today to celebrate Thanksgiving.
It was being hosted at the new home that Kayla had just recently bought out on the countryside part of Georgia— making it her second place to stay, as she still owned a sky rise in downtown ATL.
As everyone sat around at the table, Kathryn decided to lead the table in prayer. Kathryn was Kayla's big sister, and the two had bumped heads a lot in the past.
But nowadays, the both of them were on good terms, being cordial. Sitting next to Kathryn was Cliff, who was sitting right across from Kayla.
He was Kathryn's ex as of now, but the two had seemed to stay very good friends— and they had to in a way, as they worked at the same record label. In the words of Kathryn, the two were trying to "work it out, and take things slow."
Everyone was in hopes that they could work it out, as everyone saw them as a power couple. Everyone expect for Kayla. She didn't think that he was any good for her sister, and that was simply because of one thing.
" Alrighty folks, let's eat!" Kathryn says with joy. She sat down and waited for the food to be passed around. With everyone having their plates filled, the eating began. And with that came gracious and funny filled conversations, mainly coming from the twins— Miss Jaden and Jade.
"...and you stop talking about beards. I know you see Mr. Big Red Dog sitting over there." Miss Jaden says, referring to Cliff. He laughed briefly, taking a bite of the collard greens on his plate.
" Aye, my face is freshly nourished...it ain't hard to tell." Cliff says. " I've been keeping it up nice. And I've to give thanks...I mean, it is Thanksgiving."
" And what are thankful for for that?"
" It's more like who I'm thankful for..." Cliff says as he grins lowly. He earned a few ou's from everyone around the table, as they looked over at Kathryn. But Cliff had his eyes on Kayla, smirking as he did.
" Uh, let's it keep PG around here now...just for Mom's sake." Kathryn says, looking over at her mother.
" Amen!"
Everyone started to laugh again, and the conversations continue, becoming more family friend like and fun filled. As they went on, Kayla begin to realize more and more of how Cliff had his eyes on her; how he continued to make weird gestures, and really just do things that he knew would grasp her attention.
