doing? It’s time to eat—” He paused, once he laid eyes on every-body. “Oh, y’all made it.” He smiled.
“Yeah. What’s up, my nigga?” QT greeted him, before they briefly embraced.
“Nothing too much,” Face lightly chuckled, as he stepped back and eyed my mama. “Hey, Ms. Titi. Nice to finally meet you. I’m Christian.” He hugged her, before she could say a word.
“Hey, baby.” She patted his back with a smile. “Nice to finally meet you too.”
He released her, as she sniffed.
“Umm. What is that scent you’re wearing? It smells so good.” She complimented.
“I can smell it too,” Auntie Didi added.
“Aww, thank you,” he blushed. “My Babi got it for me. It’s YSL, right, bae?” He glanced at me.
I nodded. “Yep.”
“Yeah,” Face continued. “Well, y’all come on, and let me intro-duce everybody.”
My family followed him through the house, and I basically stood back and watched. The greetings went well, while there was a full house, including all of Face’s immediate family.
Together, we all ate dinner, and laughed like I hadn’t laughed in years. My mama and Ms. Lulu, Face’s mama, had taken an instant liking to each other. So, they were kekeing it up, as they were having cocktails.
Eventually, we were all hanging in the family room comfort-ably, as Face had a custom sectional that circled the enormous room, leaving plenty of open floor space for the entertainment.
As the drinks got into everybody’s systems, the voices elevated, and the laughter intensified, leaving me a tad bit jealous, because I couldn’t drink. Face had only had one drink, before tapping out, and snuggling up against me.
