"Grandma here, be careful it's still a little hot" I put the spoon to her mouth as she slowly sipped the soup as I sat beside her as she laid in bed. "Okay that's enough, I can't." She coughed moving my hand from her mouth. For the days I was gone, she developed a bad cough which advanced to a small fever. My mom and Demontae was god know where, which I didn't give a fuck. As long they stayed away.
" Just one more please, you barely ate yesterday." I bring the spoon up once more. " Gabriel stop...I just want to rest." She fussed. " Well it's right here if you wanted, tomorrow I'm taking you to the hospital." I placed the bowl of soup by the night stand. " You don't need to worry about me, it just a little cold. By the healing of God I will be alright. The white doctors don't know nothing about nothing" She rubbed my hand. " And he gonna heal you too." She continued.
" Grandma it fine, I'm over it. I'm letting the past be past." Waving it off. " No don't dismiss your pain.... recognize it and let God heal you properly. You gotta meet him half way." She pestered.
" God don't people like me, if anything he's gonna punish me more."
" Gabriel what trash you talking?, I don't know what God your talking about. But my God is loving God and he makes no mistakes in how you involve in life. Everything about you is perfect..... everything." She stated.
I crawled into the bed laying my head on her lap as I cried. She softly combed through my hair. " It gonna be alright baby.....dark days are almost over." She says.
After a while she fell asleep, I made my leave out of the room making sure I didn't wake her up in the process. I slowly close the door when my phone started ringing. I quickly grabbed it out my pocket answering it. "Hello." I whispered into the phone as I walked to my room.
" Wassup and why you whispering?" Elijah deep chuckled came through the phone. " Oh hey, I was just coming out of my grandma's room when you called. She just fell asleep." I say closing and locking my door. " Oh okay, are you free? I was thinking we could go to a movie or something." He asked.
" I would, but honestly I got a lot going on and My grandma is sick. So last thing I need to do is go out." I sigh. " Oh shit, she good? She need anything?" He asked. " For the most part just rest, she has been eating every now and then....that is if I force her."
"Damn I'm sorry to hear that . How bout this, I can bring some stuff for Og and grab some snacks,my ps5, watch and chill, I can help with anything she needs." He stated.
Ugh I swear this man just doesn't know how much I want to have his babies. Why he gotta be straight?
" Um ....yeah that sounds like a date....I'm mean a plan, sound like plan." I clear my throat. " Alright, I see you in a few...bye." He chuckled. " Bye." I hung up trying to hide my smile. But my little moment came crashing down when I heard the open and slamming shut. " Ugh .....why are they here?" I groaned unlocking my door and opening it going out. " Can y'all not be so loud...Grandma just went to sleep." They were drunk or high...maybe both, My mom rolled her eyes ignoring me while Damontae just smirked walking into the kitchen. " Boy i'm grown, I do what the fuck I want."
" Your grown yet you living in your mother house with no job." I stated. " Little nigga if you don't get the fuck out my face before I do damage to your ass. That old bitch can't save you today so I tread lightly around this bitch." She threaten. " Mother.....i'm not a child any more.....I will fuck you up." I say calmly. I was tired of her bullshit, the little respect I did have for her went out the window when she brought him back here. " I dare you to hit her In front of me....lets see how far get." Damontae comes out of the kitchen with a plate of food in his hand as he stands by my mom wore a smirk on her face.
" I'm not 12 anymore....so I'll get far....and then some." I threaten back. " Bi-
Knock Knock Knock...
" Who the fuck is at?" My mom went to open the door revealing Elijah with his back pack on his back and bags in his hands. " oh hello....can I help you?" My says eye raping him while Damontae look stood like a statue. " Hello how are you, i'm here for Gabriel." Elijah make direct eye contact with me. " Him?....I guess come on." She let him in licking her lips. " How old are you by the way?" She asked. " Don't you and your man got something to do?" I cut her off getting disgusted with her by the minute. Just like her pedo boyfriend.
" No we g-
" Actually we gotta go."Damontae cut her off going back in the kitchen to his plate down grabbing his coat. " What?...we just got here." My mom said confused. " Bitch put your shit back on and lets go. Smiling in that niggas face." He mugged her throwing her jacket and purse at her. He opened the door pushing her out of it leaving behind her as he closed it. " The fuck was that about.....you good?" He looked at me concerned. " Yea i'm good, you know how my mom is." I sigh dismissing what happen just now. " How was your trip?" I change the subject as we walked to my room." It was cool, we didn't get much work done up there. especially how Zeus had Ghenesis screaming every night." He mumbled the last part. " What?" I asked confused. " Oh.....um nothing it was cool for the most part. We actually got back a little earlier than plan." He stated placing the bags on the bed taking his back pack off his back. " Oh.....wait why am I now just seeing you?" I place my hand my hip giving him a playful attitude. " Chill out on me, I had to make some moves before coming here." He chuckled. " Aw not you went to check in with your hoes....that so cute." His smile went blank as he stared at me making me laugh out of nervousness.
" Is that how you see me?" He asked. " What?...no, I...I was ..just. I was just playing around, I didn't mean anything by it." I stuttered. He nodded his head before smiling softly and he unzipped his back pack taking his Ps5 out connecting it to my tv. " I'm sorry if I disrespected you. I didn't mean to make feel some type of way." I apologize. I was excited for him to come over and I was already fucking up. " Naw you good....I just thought, If that how you saw me....than I'm doing something wrong." He finished connecting it walking back towards me. " Something wrong.......what you mean by that?" confused about what he was saying. " I....just want to be proud of me..I guess." He shyly said. " Oh.....of course, Hell you make smarter moves than most people....you probably make more money than our whole teacher faculty." I chuckled. I walked towards my bed getting the remote turning to the tv on. " I got Netflix on here, we can watch some shows or movies whatever you prefer." He shrugged his shoulders taking his slides off as he was about to sit on my bed.
" Okay....Hey wait, no outside clothes in my bed please. I think I gotta extra clothes some wh-" My eyes widen as Elijah stripped out of his shirt and pants placing them on the dresser, wearing nothing but basketball shorts. " Is this better?" He smirked. " Uh yea that cool." I cleared my throat putting my focus on the TV.
