Honey

3.) All My Girls

Honey decided to spend the day with her sisters. They would go see a movie, have a nice lunch, and then retreat to her place for the evening. They were going to have a sleepover. When she told Cash not to come over, seriously, because four grown ass women were spending the night together, he scoffed and promised Friday night was for the girls, but Saturday night, she better be dressed and ready to go. She promised not to act funny this weekend. He held her to her word.

Before Honey could go anywhere, she decided to make herself some breakfast. Hearing her front door open, she initially thought it was Cash, but it was much too early for him to be making an appearance, so she looked to see who was there, putting her bacon sandwich together.

Her parents walked in and closed the door. "I smell bacon and eggs," Ross said.

"Correct."

Honey moved back to the kitchen, finishing putting her sandwich together, spreading Miracle Whip over her wheat bread before getting her cheese coated fried egg and placing it on a piece and placing her bacon over it.

"Make enough for me, too, baby girl?"

"No."

"Yo ass is rude," her daddy told her.

Honey rolled her eyes, going to pour herself a glass of juice. "How I'm rude? I ain't know you was coming over!" she defended herself. "Maybe if you woulda told me, I'd have something for you, old man."

"Now you know the feeling, little girl," Lovey told her. "You too embarrassed to answer my calls now?"

Honey hadn't been ignoring her mother's calls out of embarrassment. It had been because she knew that her mother and Cash had been conspiring against her.

"Mama," Honey said, feeling nauseated at just the thought. "I will announce myself next time. I promise."

Lovey and Ross both laughed. "You feeling any better?" her daddy asked. Honey was confused.

"Pregnant," Lovey coughed.

"What?"

"You was throwing up."

Honey got a bad image in her head from the reminder and pushed her sandwich away. Her parents had no shame and they just did the most!

"I am not pregnant, and now I'm not hungry either. Damn. It's still a virgin in this house!"

"Ain't me," her parents said together. Honey pushed the sandwich further away from herself.

"Shit, if you ain't hungry, I can eat it," Ross decided. Lovey giggled, and Honey was feeling green.

"Oh yes, your daddy sure can eat," she added. Honey was about ready to kill her parents.

"You know what, I have to get ready to bounce. Y'all lock them doors when y'all leave."

Honey got up from the table and her parents laughed, knowing she'd suffered her way into a lesson about announcements.

She dressed herself in a pair of faded wash jeans and a pink tee-shirt before she went and got in her pink Mercedes. She picked up Bria'Jaye first before going to get Naila and Passion. The two of them were roommates, since they were so close.

When they got to the mall, Honey saw Trap and he came over to speak with her. She didn't act standoffish, but she didn't jump in his lap either.

"Hey, Trap," Passion said, practically pushing herself into his arms.

"Hi," he said boredly and turned back to Honey. Passion huffed out a breath.

"So, look, Honey, I want you to come over tomorrow."
