"Isiah? Why exactly do you not want to do it again?"
"Cause I know he would hate me that's why!" Janet sighed and rolled her eyes. A few days ago, Joseph called Janet and requested that Isiah and Janet had dinner with the family so Joe could finally be able to meet him, but Isiah was too scared to do it. "Now Isiah, my father would not hate you. Just be yourself and I promise you everything will go just fine." Isiah sighed and nodded. "Besides, you look good as hell. With you looking like this, we might not make it on time."
"I'll handle you after dinner alright? Now come on, I don't want us to be late."

"Mother why do I have to help in the kitchen? Can't you get one of the boys to do it?"
"Latoya all I'm asking is to bring the rest of the food into the living and make the fruit punch everyone likes." Latoya sighed. "Putting me to work."
"You never work anyway." Randy teased making Latoya roll her eyes. Then there was a knock at the door. Randy opened it and smiled. "There's my big headed sister."

"So Isiah, outside of basketball, what else do you do?"
"Uh well if I'm not doing a full on game I'm practicing or watching a game. My life is just surrounded around basketball but other than basketball, I'm with Janet." Janet started to smile. "I see she keeps your attention."
"Yes she does."
"So what drew you to my daughter?"
"Her heart, her kindness, how caring she is. Just all of her personality and her for being her. I honestly believe that's what drew me to her the most." Janet started to blush. "Thank you love, you're so sweet." Isiah kissed Janet's cheek. "So, why are you not together?"
