I took the cold spoon off the hicky i had it on. It disappeared. The other 2 had lightend up. I couldnt have hickies showing while im on the block. What would i look like? I walk into my grandmas room where she was laying down. Thank goodness for the dim light because them hickies would have been very visible.
"Good morning Grandma." I said while giving her a kiss. She has been in bed lately and i need to know whats going on.
"Hey darling, I barely saw you yesterday."
"I know Grandmother. Do you remeber my old friend Chrissy?"
"The one you always used to hang bout 2 or 3 years ago."
"Yea her. Well she is pregnant and her baby is due in November."
"Oh really, tell her i said congratulations."
"I will."
"When did you talk to her?"
"Couple of days ago. You know her uncle and my mom are a couple now?"
"Is that right. Its 'bout time Linda moved on. She hasnt had a man since them kids father died."
"Yea i know. I hope shes happy with him. So grandma what happened yesterday and how come you have so tired lately?"
"My doctor told me that i need to take it easy because my lupus is bareable, but it has gotten a little more critical, so i just need to rest for awhile."
"But everything is fine right?"
"Yes honey, they gave me some more medications to help it. Believe me your grandmother will be alright."
"Thats what i like to hear. Do you need me to get you anything?"
"A glass of water."
"OK. A nice cold glass of water with lemon coming right up."
I walked into the kitchen and made my grandmother something to drink and took it up to her.
I couldnt stick around longer at home because i had money to make. Troy texted me and said that he was on his way over to drop the supply off. When he pulled up, i went to meet him at his car. He had it in this small duffel bag.
"Now, this is a lot of merchandise. Dont fuck me over."
"Do i ever." I said playfully.
"Aight Raine. Dont forget 'bout Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday."
"Oh believe me with all of this stuff, i wont forget."
"Ok mamas, call me if you need me."
"Aight den Troy."
He handed me the duffle bag. As soon as he pulled up, i ran upstairs and jumped in the shower. I got dressed in some shorts and a fitted tee, with some all white Air Maxes. I had to be comfortable if i was going to be on the streets all day.
Dear Diary,
Today was a busy day. I made $375 today. I still have alot more to sell. I dont even know how much all the weed he gave me is worth, but all i know is that im bout to get paid. Dante came and found me and actually brought 3 dime bags instead of 2. He said he would come by everyday until i ran out. Thats whats up. When niggas saw me on the streets, they already knew what time it was, and i wasnt fucking to get paid till i was done with selling. Dependind on what i do, on average, i make more money a day with this job than the other. But its cool cause i wouldnt make this a full time job; its way too risky. I may go ver to my moms house tommorow and see whats up with her. I needa spend some time with my sisters too. I wonder if they like Daren. I think they should because they are friendly little girls. I also saw my nigga Jordan on the block. He is like the brother i never had. I love him so much because he is always there for me whenever i need him. He's 25 so he is also kinda like a father figure to me. He tries to get my mind straight, but right now my mind is as straight as its gonna get.
I really am concerned about my grandmother though. I dont understand what she means that her condition is more critical. Foreal, foreal she is all i got. I really dont want to go move back with my mom, and if that doesnt work, i dont have anywhere else to go. I need to make sure that my grandma is as healthy as possible. Hopefully i can go with her to her next doctors appointment so i can know for myself what she needs to do. Thats the only thing i dont like about living a fast life, is i cant really be there with my grandma to help her with each day. I guess im gon have to do my best to keep her wellness up.
Sincerly,
{{Raine}}
I woke up today at 10 something. I went downstairs because i followed the smell of sausage, bacon, and fried potatoes. My grandma made huge breakfast.
"Grandma what you coookin all this for."
"I havent cooked a good breakfast in a while."
"Yea but its just me and you."
"I know, but we still should eat well."
"I aint complaining, shoot this look da bomb."
When every thing was done, i made me a plate with potatoes, bacon, sausage, eggs, and pancakes. I was going to need this food because i needed all the energy to stay up today while on the block.
"Grandma, when is your next doctors appointment?"
"Tuesday after next, why"
"Because i wanna go with you."
"Ok, that'll be great. I'll remind you a day before."
"Alritey."
I was on the block until like 7. I caught the COTA Bus to my moms house. When i got off the bus, i had to walk one block to get to her house. As i was walking on the sidewalk, I saw the baddie coming from outside of his girlfriends house. I waved to him and he nodded "whats up". He still probably didnt remember, but atleast he aint have me waving at him looking stupid. He looked alot more familiar than a guy i met at the party. It seem like i knew him from somewhere else but i just couldnt put my finger on it. I continued walking to my moms house, her car was there, and an extra one that has been there for a while now, which must be Darens.
I knocked on the door and my mom answered.
"Hey Raine. Where you coming from?"
"Home." I said while walking in.
"Well, you have been coming over more lately. Do you miiss me or sumin?"
"Of course i do mom." But i really didnt. I just wanted to see Darens face again.
"Where are my sisters at?"
"They upstairs playing as usual. Did you speak to Daren?"
"Mom no."I started laughing "I just got in"
I hated when she did stuff like that. Always trying to make her man fell comfortable.
"Whats goin on Raine?" Daren asked me as he was walking out the kitchen with a sandwich in his hand.
"Hey Daren."
"Is that better mom?" I said playfully
"Yup. So have you thought if you wanted the move to be permanent or temperorary?"
"Nope. You the one that kicked me out. Why should it matter what i want?"
"It doesnt. I just wanted to know how you felt about it."
"Oh well im still undecided."
