After Samira and Jahiem, told each other good night, she walk in and wash up with for dinner. Once she came out the bathroom, she bump into her brother Cedric. "Oh, there you is. I'v been looking for you all day and now you want to pop up. Tell where you been all day and don't lie to me." "Ugh!!!! You ain't my my parents nor you're my grandparents, so you can forget. I can do whatever I want 'cause I don't own you no explanation. I only own one to my parents and my grandparent. Now move out my way." "How are you going to disrespect me like that? I asked you and I want an answer now and not later." "Whatever." After her agruement with her brother, she went to the kitchen to see what she can help with." "Samira, why do you and your brother argue like that for? It seem so pointless and I don't want nothing to happen to yall because of all this bittering yall doing." "Grandma, he used to the coolest brother to hang around, but before Aliyah and Jordan left for college in July, they told him to keep a close eye on me, because they think I'm sleeping with Jahiem. Every since then, he'd did just that and I'm sick of it. I moved back down here, where it's calm and quite. I want a place where I want to get away from it all." "Oh, Samira. Come here. There's a problem we have to figure out why they want Cedric to do that. Do you know when they coming back." "They didn't say and hope they don't come back." "No, don't say that. They're your family and you need to love them regardless. Ok?" "Yes Ma'ma." "Now let's set the table and eat. Grab those two bowl and put them on the table." "Yes ma'ma. We'll be eating good as a I see." "Yep and you know it." Once they got the table sit, Samira called everyone down to eat. Once everyone was down and at the table, Grandma Ruby prayed over the food and everyone ate.
"Honey, you put your foot in all this food we have on this table. We got enough to last until next time weekend. We got mash potato, mac and cheese, fried and baked chicken, green beans, corn, cornbread, pot roast, roast beef and a green bean casserole." "Lorenzo, you're crazy. I make enough to last, because we've got the grandkids with us and you know they can like they ain't eaten in days." "Grandma, we ain't had none of your good home cook meal in awhile."said Cedric "Boy you just love food period, if women can't cook and clean like me and your ma, you don't want them. I remember when you was ten years old, you can breakfast for everybody and everything was good and perfect. We was so full and sleepy, we all went to sleep in the den and didn't wake up until it was afternoon. I remember when Samira was six years old, she cooked everything from breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all that last us a whole month. We had so much, we had to give it to the neighbors. They was talking about it for weeks and wanting to get my recipe, but I told them Samira cooked it all. They was so shocked to find out a six year old cooked it all and Cedirc you was so mad, you hid from us for a hold week. I didn't worry, because you was in the tree house that Lorenzo build you."
"Yeah, I was mad, that she had all the spot light and gotten all the attention." "Cedric you couldn't be mad at me, you was two years older than me older than me. You was the one that inspired me to cook for everyone." "Really?" "Yes, really. I mean it from the bottom of my heart." "Thanks." "You welcome." "Well, that went swell. As I see, everyone is done with their plate, so let's get it in the sink. You kids get ready for bed, while Granddad and I clean the kitchen up." "Yes ma'ma. Good Night." said in unison. Once grandma Ruby and Granddad Lorenzo finish up in the kitchen, they went in their room, bath and got in bed. Smaira couldn't sleep, kept thinking about the day she spent with Jahiem. Sh was thinking, "The day just better when Jahiem came around. I like him, but I don't he'll like me back and our friendship might be over. I really don't know what to do. I'm going to need some help with this situation I'm in. I wonder who can help me? .............. Oooh, Grandma Ruby can help me, I just hope she ain't a sleep.
After thinking, she got up and knocked on Grandparents doors. "Yes? Come in." "Grandma, I'm sorry to wake you, but can we talk in private." "Yes sure. Come on and let's go in the living room." They walk down the hallway into the living. "Now, what seem to be the problem?" "You know Jahiem from down the street." "Yeah, what about him." "Well, I like him and I'm afraid it's going to ruin our friendship we have." "Well, honey, sometime you've got to step out the box and take a risk. Plus, I think he like you too and he took it pretty hard when you left, so tomorrow tell him." "Ok. Thanks grandma. Good night." "Good night."
