"ion see why you keep on changin," elijah said as we made eye contact through the mirror.

"because i wanna look presentable." i said and pulled a different shirt over my head.

"what was wrong with the last three outfits?" he asked.

"the shorts was too short and the shirt showed too much of my stomach." i told him and frowned because i didn't like this outfit either.

"okay? i see your stomach all the time, so what's the problem today?" he questioned.

"well i don't want them thinkin i'm a hoochie or somethin." i said and he mugged me.

"fuck is you talkin about? why you worried about what they think anyways? if you think you look good then you good, fuck what anybody else think. you just pissed me off with that shit," he ranted.

"i don't like the tone you just used with me, fix it." i said and crossed my arms.

"shoulda never said that dumb shit." he grumbled.

"okay, whatever elijah." i said and dismissed the whole thing because if i didn't he'd keep on talking about it and i wasn't having that today.

i changed into a nude like body dress and paired it with my yeezy slides and cropped light jean jacket.

"okay i'm ready," i said while fluffing my hair in the mirror.

he didn't say anything, he just got up and motioned for me to walk out the room first.

"don't tell me you mad," i said and leaned on the door frame.

"ain't nobody mad." he said and huffed.

"yes you is, why?" i asked him and crossed my arms.

"i ain't mad, we got some place ta be so come on," he said.

"no because we not leavin and you all mad at me or somethin." i said.

"i'm not mad atchu, just pissed off at whatchu said." he said and shrugged.

"well i mean i'm sorry if that's whatchu wanna hear." i said and frowned because i didn't like it when he was mad at me, it was the worse feeling ever like what i do stink stink?

"you'on gotta be sorry, just get outta that shitty ass mindset." he said.

"okay dang, now stop lookin at me like that." i said to him.

"like what?" he asked and ran his tongue over his bottom lip.

"we got somewhere ta be, right? yeah come on," i rambled and walked ahead of him, he knew exactly what he was doing.

i heard him laugh from behind me and i felt my cheeks heat up, it's always the smallest things that set me off.

it took us at least thirty minutes to get to ms. gina's house and when we did i wasn't sure if i wanted to get out the car or not.

"so you just gone sit in the car?" elijah asked me as he stood by the passenger door.

"can i?" i asked him and he laughed, "no."

"but i'm nervous, what if she don't like me?" i said.

"but she will, so come on." he said and held his hand out to me.

i stared at it for a few seconds before taking it into mines, he shut the door and we headed for the front porch.

when he opened the front door, nutmeg and cinnamon filled my nose and it was a comforting feeling that surrounded the house.

i followed behind elijah this time and kept his hand in mines as he greeted a few people.

"wassup youngin," a boy who looked kind of like mr. k, but our age said and grasped hands with eli.

"wassup, this my lady, santana. santana this my cousin, bj." eli said and introduced us.

"hey," i said and he shook my free hand.

"granny in the kitchen, she been waitin fa you." he said and eli nodded.

"preciate it," eli told him and led me to the kitchen.

"my stomach hurt." i said.

"bruh," he said and laughed.

"stop laughin cause it's not funny, i'm nervous as hell." i said and stopped talking as we entered the kitchen.

ms. troy was sitting at the island with ms. sam, carti, and a few other older people who i didn't know at all.

"ohh look at you! my lil lijah," a lady who resembled ms. troy said as she saw elijah.

her and eli shared a hug and she looked at me, oh shit. somebody come pick me up! i can't breathe.. i'm finna die.

"you must be santana, ain't you somethin beautiful. i'm gina but everybody call me memaw or gg," she said and smile at me.

"yes ma'am and thank you," i said as i returned the smile.

"lijah leave us for a minute, yo daddy out there playin cards with franky and them." she said and shooed him out the kitchen.

"why i gotta leave?" he asked her and she gave him a look.

"see you lata then," he kissed my cheek before running out the back door.

"come on and sit down, we don't bite, i'm bee." the lady sitting next to ms. sam said and smiled at me.

i sat next to carti who gave me a side hug, "nice ta meet you,"

"tana, this is diamonte's sister, dom and my big cousin, august." ms. troy said and they waved at me.

"so how long you and baby e been together?" ms. dom asked me, woah, okay right off the bat. whatever happened to hello, hi, how are you?

"a little over two months, but we been close for about six months before that." i told her.

"i hear ya'll go ta clark, ya'll like it there?" ms. august asked me and carti.

"yes ma'am, it's a really good school." carti said and i nodded in agreement.

"i wish ya'll would stop questionin them, let them breath." ms. gina said and swatted her towel at them.

"i mean we just wanna get ta know them," ms. bee said and shrugged.

"leave them alone," ms. gina and cut her eyes.

"ya'll want somethin to drink? i'm sorry," she said to us.

"please take it cause you'd never hear the end of it." ms. sam said which made me and carti nod fairly quickly.

ms. gina placed two cups of lemonade in front of us, i sipped from the straw and placed it back down once i finished.

"i need the recipe for this," carti said.

"peaches is the main ingredient," ms. gina said and shrugged.

"mama tell minnie stop botherin me!" a little boy said and ran into the kitchen stopping at ms. bee's feet.

"ain't nobody botherin you, you just a baby." i'm guessing this was minnie.

"where ya'll manners go?" ms. bee asked them.

"hi, i'm minnie and this my ugly brother, hasan." minnie said and waved at me and carti.

"i'm not ugly, picky headed self." hasan mumbled and crossed his arms.

"oh my, come on and let's head outside." ms. gina said and shook her head.

all of us stood up and followed behind her with me and carti falling short behind.

"ain't she the sweetest." carti grinned.

"yeah, i was scared shitless though." i told her.

"i wasn't, i'm finna make her my sugar mama." she said and i covered my mouth.

"you down bad." i said.

"what? she fine," carti said and shrugged.

"i'm not finna play witchu today," i said and shook my head.

"there go semaj, she's waving us over." she said and i raised my hand over my eyes so i could see.

we walked over to maj and the rest of them and found a seat to sit, eli grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap.

"want some?" i asked him and held up my cup, but he held his.

"what's in there?" i asked and he placed it to my lips, i took a small sip and smacked my lips.

"ew," i grimaced.

"it's not ew, it's kool-aid." he said and laughed.

"you been laughin all day, my suffering must amuse you." i said and he laughed again.

"just chill," he said and gripped my thigh a little.

"don't let that lil drink get ta yo head now," i mumbled.

"i can handle my liquor." he said.

"okay.." i trailed off.

"how you liked meetin gg and tt dom?" kieve asked me and carti.

"they was so nice," i said and smiled.

"told you." yanna said.

"right, ms. gina couldn't be mean if she wanted too." man man said and i looked over at him; him and rayne seemed quite close today seeing as though his arm was behind her chair.

"it ain't like that." eli muttered.

"huh?" i questioned.

"rayne and man man, they just close like that." he said and i nodded, interesting but imma mind mines because i really like people in my relations.

"you know, i ain't even know juneteenth was a thing until i met ms. gina," dee said and scratched his head.

"cause the school system shoved the fourth a july down our throats and ran wit it," joker said, maybe he wasn't so stupid after all.

"that and nobody was ever educated enough to take the time ta teach us about it or learn about it." eli added.

"well fuck them dingy mayo monkeys, we got our own holiday time ta t the fuck up." maj said and stood up, she got on the table and started dancing along to แด›สœษช๊œฑ ษช๊œฑ สœแดแดก แดกแด‡ แด…แด ษชแด› x แดแดษดแด›แด‡สŸสŸ แดŠแดส€แด…แด€ษด.

"gone ahead girl!" a lady called out and rayne started laughing along with booda and dj.

"semaj get off my table!" ms. gina yelled and maj froze before jumping down, "sorry gg!"

"well that was fun," she said and had a goofy grin on her face.

"anyways i'm hungry, mr. franky need ta finish onnat grill so we can eat." dj said.

"right and they better give them ribs up smooth cause i ain't no child, i want ribs and steak on my plate." booda said.

"facts."

a few hours had passed and some were working on their third and fourth plates if they had room for it, the kids were running around and some playing football or sitting under the sycamore tree.

santana was under the tree with a few of elijah's cousins and they talked her ear off about any and everything, she listened and laughed at their small jokes.

cartier was at one of the tables playing cards with the guys and so far she had won almost every round and even some money once they started placing bets on her.

the two girls were slowly becoming apart of the family without even knowing and it was a beautiful thing to see. black love was all around and everybody was having a good time as they celebrated the liberation of their people.

"she's an angel, you did good." ms. gina said to elijah as she watched santana.

"think so?" he asked her and she nodded which made him smile, her approval had meant a lot to him seeing as though she was more of grandmother to him than indianna ever was.

"you and her are meant for each other, if i don't know nothin, i do know that." she said.

"you love her?" she asked and elijah shrugged but a small hint of pink formed on his honey toned face.

"i mean i ain't never really loved nobody before, on that type a level at least." he admitted.

"love comes in many forms, the love ya'll have for each other is pure and radiant. it's new so of course you wouldn't know but the blindest of the blind can see it." she said and nodded to herself.

"it's come ta mind a few times, but i never really said anything cause what if she don't love me back." elijah confessed.

"you'd be a fool to think that girl don't love you, everybody can see it but ya'll too." ms. gina said to him and he scratched his head.

"i don't know, i mean i think i do but i don't know." he said as he grew conflicted.

"then don't rush yourself to find out, let it find you." she said and he nodded.

"i know you itchin to go over there, gone ahead." she said and he stood up.

"i love you nana," he said and they shared a brief embrace.

"i love you too." she gave a small pat to his back before he walked away and headed for the sycamore tree.

ms. gina said in her rocking chair and watched the two of them interact with each other and her heart smiled as it became full of joy.

not only for the two of them but for everybody, she had all of her family in one place and she was happy. happy that everybody had somebody to love and hold onto even it wasn't forever, but just on this exact day.

"you alright, my dear?" mr. franky asked as he walked over.

"i'm more than alright, this is lovely." ms. gina said in response.

"it sure is." he mumbled and nodded as he looked around at everyone.

๊œฑแดกแด‡แด‡แด› แด›สœษชษดษข x ส€แดœ๊œฐแดœ๊œฑ & แด„สœแด€แด‹แด€ แด‹สœแด€ษด began to play through the speakers, mr. franky started to dance as ms. gina laughed at his antics.

"this is our song, come on na don't leave me hangin." he said as he held his our for her.

ms. gina obliged and the pair made their way over to everybody else who had started to dance.

the amount of smiles could be equivalent to the sun at the moment and the amount of love could put cupid out of business.

santana and elijah the young lovers, swayed and danced together as elijah sang word for word to santana slowly serenading her with his voice.

"what would you say if i told you i loved you?" elijah asked her as his hands gripped her waist.

"i'd say i love you too," santana said and their smiles matched each other.

they shared a short, but sweet kiss and many more after their dance had ended.

pure and saturated with sweetness, their love was like a georgia peach. straight from the heart and created deeply from the roots.
