"Momma where the duck tape?" I asked my mom as I boxed up my clothes.

"Check the kitchen table" she told me as she helped me pack my room.

I walked downstairs and headed into the kitchen.

I grabbed the tape off the table.

"IM HOMEEEEE" my lil sister KaLiyah said as she walked thru the front door with more boxes.

We are moving to Raleigh, North Carolina. Mom is opening up her second shop in Raleigh, my mother is a nail tech she said she liked the Raleigh area and felt like that would be a good city for us to stay.

Mom actually was born and raised in Raleigh and moved to Charlotte for college then she met my father.

Our father died when Kaliyah was 10, he died just like any other drug dealer did. Shit may sound fucked up but hey, You choose that life then u gon die that way. Nigga was the top kingpin in Charlotte, nigga organized and prepared shit like he was knew he was finna die.

He left us a half of a mill each, and put the rest of his money in my momma bank account for emergencies. He put me and Liyah other half of mill in a trust fund where we can't touch it till we 18, so we both have a Million Each and my mother has the other million.

My mother isn't the flashy type with money, she like folks to think she broke so they won't beg and be greedy.

I'm not the spoiled type, I actually work for my money so my 500 thousands is still in my account. I was working for my mother at her Nail salon earning my money that I spend, mean while my little sister spent most her shit on shit she don't need.

"Good now hurry up, we suppose to be on the road by the morning and yo damn room the only one left foreal that need the more work" I said as I headed back up the steps.

"Well dang, hey to you too" she said as she followed behind me.

"Mom yo daughter back" I said as I walked into my room with my mom and taped the boxes up.

"Well shit finally. Told her ass bout driving my car without her Damn license yet" my momma said as she taped the box.

"She just don't listen"

"Shol dont, Ima fuck her ass up if she wreck my shit too. Better be careful, u know she drive fast too"

"Y'all know I hear y'all right?" Kaliyah said as she walked in my room.

"I mean well we wasn't trying to whisper" my momma said as she rolled her neck at her.

"You get on my nerves"

"And you get on mines, bald head heffa"

"Yo car low on gas too"

"Why yeen fill it up when was riding round in it?"

"Because I don't have money to fill YOUR car"

"Girl, bye go pack yo room, your dismissed now " my momma said.

My sister left out my room and proceeded into her room.

"I told you that u should have gave her up for adoption" I told my momma and she laughed.

"Maybe I should have, let her be a spoiled brat somewhere else" my momma said.

We picked up the boxes and headed downstairs to the moving trucks.

"Where Nadia?" My momma asked.

"She should be on the way now" I said as I put the box into the moving truck.

"Shit her ass just stay down the street, the hell taking her so long"

"Speaking of the devil" I said as we got out the truck, my bestfriend Nadia pulled up.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry I'm late. This slow Nigga took too long to pick me up" Nadia said as she got out the car with her Ex, Javion.

"Oop" me and my momma both said.

"Aht aht ma, don't look at me like that, it's not what it looks like" she told my momma as we laughed.

Nadia is my Bestfriend and we been bestfriends since we were in Kindergarten, she lives with us. Nadia parents moved to Salisbury Nc when she was 14, she didn't want to go so we let her move in with us.

My momma love her as if she is her own child and bestfriend, we don't keep nun from my mom cuz she is that bomb ass mom u can tell anything to and she is not judgmental or get mad.

"Girlllll what it is then?? I told you that u was gon go back" my momma said.

"Guhhhhh, see he came and pic-" Nadia started to say.

"Girllll Nope save the B.S" my momma said cutting her off, laughing.

"Right, save it for the birds. Girl not slick, you put on lipgloss 24 7, yo lips look dry. Y'all been KISSSYYYY KISSSY" I said laughing.

"I can't stand y'all" Nadia said laughing.

"BYE JAVION" me and my momma waved and he waved back and drove off.

"Y'all got everything packed?" Nadia asked us.

"Yes, these was the last of my items" I told her.

"My shit been backed since the day I told y'all we was movin" my momma said. "You stuff packed?"

"Yes, I just need to grab the boxes out my room and put them in the trucks" She said.

"Hurry up cuz we leave in the morning, I gotta be there to do this grand opening" my momma said.

"What time we waking up?" I asked her as we all walked into the house.

"Getting up at 5 and on the road by 6, oh and ima need you to redo my front dreads they getting nappy" my momma said.

"Ight" I said.

"Wait what time the grand opening?" Nadia asked as we all walked upstairs.

"12 pm" she said.

"Bet" we both said.

After hours of moving Nadia boxes to the trucks and packing up Kaliyah damn room, we finally finished at 10.

"When the movers coming to pack up the furniture?" Kaliyah asked my momma.

"I bought all new furniture so I'm selling this furniture. The new furniture is already at the new house so all y'all need to do is unpack" mom said.

"U didn't even let me pick the bed I wanted" Kaliyah pouted and stomped her foot.

My momma smacked her in the lip.

"Ouch!" Kaliyah said as she held her lip.

"Yo ass keep forgetting who the momma is! Yo daddy spoiled yo ass too damn much but yeen finna keep talking to me like u crazy. You my child! I know what the hell u like, I shoulda made you fucking buy it almost damn complaining" my momma said.

"Damn" Nadia and I said.

"Go to yo damn room" my momma told her and she stormed upstairs and slammed her door. "SLAM ANOTHER FUCKING DOOR AND YO ASS GON BE RIGHT NEXT TO YO DADDY".

My momma never yell till Kaliyah start complaining about shit, my father made her ass spoiled and let her get away with stuff. She be thinking she can pull it on my momma but her ass don't even play that.

"The graveeee???" Nadia asked.

"Yes the damn grave! I hate when she do that, just be fucking grateful. I know exactly what she like, shit just be glad I didn't make her pay for it" my momma said as she ate her steak.

"Lord have mercy" me and Nadia both said then laughed.
