chapter 6

Riani Nalani Brown | Riri

5:30pm

Few days later.

"Girl my parents will judgeee." I say tidying up the living room while on the phone with Kam as she's out.

My parents, sister, and my older brother along with his finance and his daughter Skye are all coming over as my mother wanted to cook and also my brother wanted to see my Apartment.

"Ok well, I'll be back later, bye love you." She says as I say bye back and hang up.

I was wearing this cute sweater that my grandma crocheted for me before I left, along with some ripped loose jeans and I'm just wearing my nike socks. My natural full curls were down almost hiting my shoulders as it was like a flipover style with my edges done.

Hearing the doorbell ring I push my hair behind my shoulders before opening the door seeing my family making me smile.

"Heyyyy." I greet them all with a hug as they take their shoes off walking in.

"Anna." I say hugging her only seeing them making me wonder where my brother was along with my niecey Pooh and Jennifer (his fiancée)

"Where is my pookie?" I frown referring to my niece.

"They should be pulling up- oh welp." My mom was cut off by the door opening again making me instantly jump on my brother.

"Reeceeee." I say smiling hugging him and making him laugh as he hugs me back and then puts me down.

"Hey Riani- woah this is nice." He takes his shoes off looking around my living room.

"Hey jennyy," I say hugging her as she hugs me back with a smile.

"Hey pretty." She says making me smile then I see the sky on her hip.

"My Pookie bearrrr." I say reaching out for her making Jenny smack her lips.

"Girl take her, she pissed me off the whole ride here, just sitting there crying the whole time." She shakes her head as Sky starts instantly smiling when she sees me.

"Don't do my baby." I mug Jenny making her playfully roll her eyes at me and laugh.

-Skylar Brown

-Reece Brown

- Jennifer Rose

I showed them around my house along with my parents since they wanted to see how I decorated the house.

"And then this is my room," I say opening my door and making them nod in approval.

"Type shi." My brother says opening the bathroom door.

"This bed is soft." My sister says laying her back on my bed.

"And then the guest room right here is just regular with a bathroom also in here." I shrug opening it as it's just a bed and a dresser in there for whenever any one of my family wanted to stay over.

"Type shi." He closes the door making me smack my lip.

"Please stop saying that," I mumble as I walk back downstairs to the kitchen with my pookie still resting on my hip.

"Mama, what you making?" I ask.

"Curry chicken and rice." My mom smiles making me do a little happy dance because my Haitian mommy really knows how to throw down in the kitchen.

My mom is Haitian and my dad is Jamican which is why he is so against us cussing around him. I don't even know how my brother gets away with saying "type shi" around my father but it's probably cause he says half the word as in type shi' but whatever.

"Jenny, are you helping?" My mom asks.

"Of coursee." She sings walking in the kitchen.

I go back upstairs into my bathroom sitting sky on the counter so I can fix her edges a little better than what was done.

Rihanna walks in looking at herself and fixing her little cute black and pink highlights sew in.

"So Anna what boy was mama talking about? You got a boyfriend?" I question because usually me and my sister tell each other everything so I wanted to hear this.

"Shhh" she says peaking out the door then closing it.

"Reece will do the most if he would have heard you." She says making me laugh cause she shol is right.

Reece would flip out if he heard that Rihanna had a boyfriend or even if I had one.

"But anyways he's not my boyfriend...he's my man that doesn't know he's my man but in my heart he's my man." She smiles making me just shake my head.

"Soo it's just a crush?" I question.

"Well we're like talking and taking things slow but I'm ready for this shit to speed up." She huffs making me laugh.

"We did kiss though. It was a peck but it was still a kiss." She giggles making me laugh.

"And that's all it ever should be, now let me get a picture of this boy." I say making her take her phone out and search before showing me it.

It was a picture of the both of them smiling. He was a little cute mixed lightskin boy with sandy brown curly hair, hazel eyes and braces.

"Ok Rihanna." I nod in approval.

"Yes I know how to pick out cute guys. You on the other hand need help." She makes a face making me glare at her.

"Ok cause not to much boo. The people I pick out do not be ugly." I wave her off.

"They personality just be shitty though." She shakes her head.

"Ok you got that one." Cause she was right.

Once I finish Skys edges I smile and start taking pictures of the three of us in the mirror then some with me and Sky since Rihanna went to her phone.

I love baby's and kids so when Reece announced he had a baby on the way I was the most happiest of them all. Every time I see a baby I'm quick to pick them up and play with them.

I could definitely see myself in the future having a baby because that is something I hope for when I am engaged with a ring or better yet married and living a nice good life so when I do have a child they would be all set, future wise and all.

"Oh shit Riani watch out." My brother quickly says making me try to look back but before I could his whole arm went around my neck in headlock and then he pulled me back like something a kidnapper would do...then I heard him laughing.

"Get off of me." I push him away as him and Rihanna were just laughing.

"You saw her face." He leans on the counter looking at Rihanna while still wheezing.

"Bra Riani." Rihanna laughs again and I just glare at the both of them and take Sky as we get on my bed, me sitting criss cross with her infront of me.

"Atleast you ain't a opp Sky sky." I said making her smile and start babbling.

"You said your dad a opp ass person?" I smile in her face making her body start to move up in down while giggling.

"It was never that serious." He says laying his stomach on my bed with Rihanna next to him.

"Y'all are the opps I'm telling y'all..." I mumble.

"Tighten up." He mugs me.

"Shut up."

"Shut up" he mocks me making me smack my lips.

"You dramatic." He shrugs.

"You dramatic" I mock him back making him jerk his head back at me with a scrunched up face.

"Oh?" He says taking Sky from infront of me and infront of him.

"You need to stop carrying her and let her walk more." He says sitting on the floor having Sky to walk towards him.

"Come to dad." He says smiling making her start babbling again and she starts trying to run towards him but then falls.

"Noo." He says starting to come towards her then that's when she starts crying loudly.

"She only started crying when you were about to pick her up so obviously she's used to being spoiled." I say.

"Well she needs to get unuse to it." He says looking down at her in his arms as she had stopped crying making me just shake my head.

He really just spoils her all the time. He was so used to always just spoiling me and Anna so when he had Sky he couldn't help but to do the same thing.

"Interesting." I slowly nod.

__

"Do y'all have to leave." I throw my head back as my mom was done cleaning the kitchen and everyone was putting their shoes on.

"Yes girl. I don't want it to get too dark while driving on this road." My mom says making me frown.

I love my family and hated to see them leave.

Food was good as hell though.

"Ok well bye." I start hugging everyone before getting to my brother and he hugs me back before sneakily slipping something in my back pocket.

"Love you little sis." He kisses my forehead making me laugh as they soon after left.

Reaching in my pocket I see he put three hundred single bills in my pocket making me smile.

It's just hard to believe how much money he makes and just throwing it around to be being a damn basketball coach like whattt????
