MERCEDES P.O.V ♥
" Robin dawg, you cant be bout to kill people kids so early. i mean .. we only been in the house for 10 minutes. "
I laughed hoping Robin would too but she was set on being angry.
" but cedes dawg .... i didnt want to come because that little girl & Steve ol' rock-a-fella head ass was here. damnnnn man. Im going to end up murdering the both of them. Straight up ! "
I inhaled deeply and let my head fall back .
" Lord, I declare yall kids are going to be the death of me. Aint NOBODY going to murdering nobody . Or I'll raise hell and have the devil murder all yall asses. "
Finally a laugh bust out of Robin's mouth.
" iight cedes. only for you. I'll try to control that Nica side of me. "
"See thats what im talking about. Lets keep it all dougeee. "
Just then Marcus and Ricardo ran out of the house butt-booty naked and jumped in the pool. Janice .. along with Daja ran out a while after laughing.
" boooyyyy... do i see shrinkage , Marcus? " Daja announced out loud .
Everyone laughed .
" Dang Marc .. you gonna let Daa try you like that ? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa . "
" I knew those rumors were trueeeee ! " I said and laughed.
Marcus looked at us, body almost completely submerged under water, with the exception of his head.
" i see you all got all these jokes, huh ? Daja.. i know you aint talking. i heard you got that nasty womans disease."
Daja looked at Marcus as if he was retarded.
" thats how you feel? ok . with yo shitty booty ass. "
We all laughed and went back in the house leaving the boys outside.

-- 5 HOURS LATER --
I sat in the two-bed bedroom studying the marbel floor.
"earth to cedes ! " Daja announced.
"oh . my bad. " I came out of my trance .
" sooo.. like i was saying . um , like what clubs are around here ? Because I'm not going to be in here all summer. no parents? i have to live it up. "
" yeaaah. i feel you . well today is saturday ... so if you feel good about going clubbing then waking up in the morning to go to church then , im down . cause i gotta go to church tommorrow. its this baptist church my cousin and auntie took me to last time i was here. its in compton though."
Daja nodded in confirmation .
"but who all are going to church tommorrow? me .. you... "
i scratched my head .
" uh ... well ... joss and possibly ricardo. everybody else are catholic or seven day evangelist. "
" yeah ... i dont want to try and tell people to go to church with us and have them feel uncomfortable . "
That was something Daja stood by... knowing that in her childhood her family was split between two religions and it always seemed to be a problem with it . So she basically never really touched on others religion. She respected it and left it like that.
After 15 minutes of discussing and planning out somethings we would do during the summer we headed downstairs where everyone else were joking and watching TV.
" Where was ya'll at? " Brian questioned with a puzzled look on his face.
" We were tending to grown folks business ... and last time I checked .. you are younger then me ; so you don't need to be asking me where I was jitta bug ! " I replied .
Daja snickered and walked into the kitchen . As if he was her husband .. questioning where she had been after coming home at 2 AM .. he followed behind her .
" And what is you laughing at Daja ? "
Daja looked at him like he had to be joking .
" Lil boy . I know one thing .. you better get from out my face . The knifes are most definitely in arms reach . Don't have me come out my face . "
" Come out your face? So you gonna cut me now ?!?! you know better ." Brian spat back .
She looked at me as if to tell me " you betta get him " .
I laughed . " I aint got nothing to do with that . "
Daja grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and grabbed the front with her other , backing him up against the pantry.
" Didnt I tell you to get out my face, huh ? but nooooooooo ... mook wanna play . He wanna show out ! "
Brian was laughing and trying to breathe at the same time . Daja pushed him hard against the pantry again then on to the counter.
" Now ..... I want you to tell me and Cedes who is yo mama? "
"... laaa.... laaa...vonda smith! "
"excuse me?!?! i think that was incorrect . "
I just sat on the counter and watched .
" daaaajaaa...."
" wait .... i thought i heard something faintly. " she chocked him harder and whispered something in his ear. All of a sudden an attempted smile spread across his face.
" maaannn .. daja johnson. "
Daja smiled with satisfaction and released him from her small-hand grip .
" yeah. thats what i like to hear . make sure you remember that too next time you decide to get all swole in the chest ."
" whateva dawg. " he said trying to hold back a smile .
Brian and Daja once dated in high school .. but like most high school relationships ... it just didnt last . Since then they have become extremely tight ... but never crossed the " friendship " line again . They both seemed pretty content with that . Although I would have loved to see them last .. but I guess just because I'm bestfriend and Big sis. doesnt mean i get everything I would want . But as long as there was no ill feelings between them ... I was good.
