4:32 am

"Too early in the morning for this shit" I muttered, grabbing my keys and phone before leaving my room

It was 4:30 in the morning so everybody was most likely sleep and I was up, getting ready to meet Brielle at the gym. I promised her that I would come one day but since we stopped talkin, I guess she think I changed my mind so I was gonna just pop up on her

I headed downstairs, seeing the kitchen light was on causing me to slow down my pace a little. I went in the kitchen seeing my momma leaning against one of the counters with her arms crossed, looking like she was waiting for somebody

"You good ma?" I asked her

She quickly turned to look at me, nodding while scratching up under the bonnet she wore

"Yeah. What you doing up? Where you going?"

"I'm bout to go meet brielle at the gym"

She nodded, smiling a little "you must really like her"

"Why you say that?"

"Cause look at you. Up this early in the morning to go meet her at the gym on a Saturday. And we usually gotta fight you to get up in the mornings"

"Nah, I just told her I was gonna come workout with her one day"

"Kyran, ion know who you tryina convince but it can't be me."

I chuckled while she started talking again

"I may have been a LITTLE extra when I found out about y'all talkin or whatever.."

"A little?"

"Whatever.. but all I'm saying is if you like her then... go ahead. All jokes aside, Brielle is beautiful, smart, has a great future going for herself and she's very mature for her age. It's just crazy because I watched y'all grow up together."

"Things happen" I shrugged

"I realize that... y'all not out here having sex, are y'all?"

I couldn't help but laugh at my momma

"No. Brielle ain like that"

"Okay, I was just asking"

"Nah it ain none of that" I put my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me, squinting her eyes

"You look, sound and act just like yo damn daddy"

"You can't be mad at that. You had me by him" I told her

"Whatever! Go ahead and go- wait.. ima ask you one last question"

"Wassup?"

"Your daddy knew the whole time? Didn't he?"

"Uh.. yeah. But I ain tell him. He always peep stuff on his own"

"No, ya daddy just nosey as hell"

"We all know that.. now can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Why you up?"

"I thought I was the parent?"

"You said I could ask... so?"

She rolled her eyes at me

"I'm waiting on your aunt"

"Lani?"

"No"

"Yas?"

"No"
