Heaven

"Babe" Chris called from the living room

"Yes Chris? I'm trying to cook"

Mama J found out about his sprained ankle and she immediately got on the next flight to LA. I haven't seen or talked to her in 5 years and I'm nervous, feelings about people can change, she could think I'm after his money like all these other girls were.

"Why you cooking all that food? It's just my mama"

"I want her to have something to eat when she gets here."

He was quiet for a while, then I heard him hopping his way in the kitchen on his crutch.

"Heav, really?" he pulled a chair out and sat down at the the counter

"What?" I wiped my hands on my apron

"You in here cooking like it's Thanksgiving. Look at all this damn food"

"It's not that much. Just some fried chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, yams, rolls, meatballs, and pasta." The oven dinged "Oh and a double chocolate cake" I took it out of the oven

"Come here" he sighed

"Yes?" I walked over to him and stood between his legs

"Are you nervous about seeing my mama?" his hands rested on my waist

"You can tell?" I played with my fingers

"Hell yeah. You been cooking for like 5 hours" he chuckled "Why you nervous about seeing her? You know she love you"

"That could've changed since I last seen her" I shrugged

"Trust me, it hasn't. When me and her talk, and she ask about is you."

"Really?" I perked up

"Yes, baby girl. You don't got nothing to worry about"

"Ok...I feel a lil better now" I smiled

"Good. Now lay 'em on me" he pulled me in closer

I pecked his lips a few times, intending for it to be a small kiss. But I got lost in his lips and deepened it. I rested my arms loosely around his neck as his hands snaked a little lower, gripping my butt. He sucked on my bottom lip, causing me to moan. His tongue grazed my bottom lip and the doorbell rang.

I pulled away "That's your mom" I looked at the camera

"I'll get it" he said, about to get up

"It'll take you years to get to the door" I chuckled "I got it, babe"

Before opening the door, I took a deep breath.

Everything is going to be fine.

"Hey Mama J" I smiled

"It's Miss Joyce to you" she scrunched up her face

Wrong. She doesn't like me anymore.

"Sorry, Miss Joyce" I corrected myself

"Girl I'm just playing with you" she laughed "Give me a hug" she pulled me in for a tight hug

A smile spread across my face as I hugged her back.

"How you been?" she asked

"I've been wonderful. Let me help you with your bags" I picked up the one suitcase she had, carrying into the house

"It smells amazing in here, what you cooking?"

"A feast" Chris answered, limping towards us "Hey mama"

I went down to the guest room to put her suitcase down and came back.

" My poor baby" she hugged him "How'd you hurt it?"

"Showing off" I mumbled

He smacked his teeth at me "I was dirt bike racing"

"And showing off" I added

"And Heaven ain't been taking care of me at all, ma" he pouted

"Boy, quit lying" she smacked her lips

"Yeah, and get off your ankle" I chuckled

"Y'all do the disabled so wrong" he shook his head, going to sit down

Me and Mama J shared a laugh at his silliness before heading to the kitchen.

"Why you cook all this food?" she chuckled

"I got nervous about you coming and just started cooking" I chuckled, shrugging

"Nervous about what? Chile I love you like my own"

"I know, I just thought maybe that had changed because so many other girls tried to use Chris for his money and fame and you'd think I was doing it"

"I know that's not you"

"Thanks" I smiled "You hungry?"

"Starving, I ain't ate since I talked to y'all this morning" she got a plate out of the cabinet and started making a plate "So tell me, what you been-"

"Babe" Chris called out again

"Boy, leave her alone. We in here catching up" she responded to him

"I was just gonna tell her that Keeis and Mario on their way over to help get rid of some of this food" Chris smacked his teeth

"Anyway, what you been doing all these years?" she asked, sitting at the table with her plate

"Just working" I shrugged "I don't really go out unless I need to buy something for my house"

"You don't go out and have fun? You're young, you're supposed to be living life"

"I don't have anyone to go anywhere with. Unfortunately, Chris is my only friend" I chuckled

"I heard that" he said from the living room

"We gotta hang out before I leave." Mama J said

"No problem. Just let me know when and where" I smiled, going to put some icing on the cake

"I heard there was food!" Keeis entered the house

"It better taste better than Kawasaki's!" Mario added

Just a lil somethin' 🤷🏾‍♀️
