I listened to Maxwell's song Fortunate on my Airpods Max while my sister Sky talked my head off. I'm not trying to be mean but she has a motor mouth. She just never stops talking.
"My bachelorette party was so fun!" I heard once I took my headphones off my ear.
"Huh?"
"Nyla, did you hear anything I said?" She questions and I just shrug.
Hell no I didn't.
"Yeah, I heard everything." I lied.
"Ny you are rude as hell, take those off now!" Our mom Shirley spoke sternly.
"This here is so nice, I mean do you feel the breeze?" Aunt Shante inhaled and then exhaled with a smile.
Sky was getting married in two days and here we were on this beautiful island preparing for this wedding. I was a maid of honor, our cousin Lena was the matron of honor, our sister Jayda on our dad's side was a bridesmaid, and there were four other bridesmaids who were Sky's friends.
"Yes chile I do, y'all need to get married more often whew." Grandma Josie sipped champagne and started laughing. She was very prepared for this little vacation. "I'm going down onto the beach!"
"Okay so y'all tonight we're going get settled in and party later on, tomorrow we have the wedding rehearsal, and you know the big day is the last day. Everybody needs to be prepared" Mom mentioned to all of us.
I'm so ready for this shit to be over so I can go back to my normal life.
"Why you gotta attitude, Nyla?" Jayda asked while I crossed my arms.
"I have no attitude, I'm just ready for all this shit to be over with," I spoke calmly.
After this wedding, I'm going back into my shell. I don't have time to deal with this fake family and how they treat me. The only ones who genuinely love me are Jayda, Grandma, and Aunt Shante. The rest of the family hates me for some reason. I guess because I'm different and I'm too real.
"Girl me too, I can't believe Sky keeps changing our hairstyles. That shit is making me not wanna be a part of this wedding." Jayda sucked her teeth. Our sister was being a bridezilla. She changed everything every five seconds. I know how exactly I'm wearing my hair in an updo ponytail and I'll have a natural face beat. I told her if she keeps changing everything I'm not being a part of this wedding. She lets me do whatever cause she knows how I get. I'm not finna play with anybody, family or not I don't care.
