As Long as You Know
Chapter 11
~~~~Sunday, at Omari’s house~~~~
Omari is worried and nervous because he wants everything to be just right for his girl and her parents. He is in the kitchen making sure the table is set just right, and taste-testing the food.
“Ma, we cannot use these plates,” Omari said gathering them up and putting them back in the cabinet
“Why not, Omari?” she said getting mad that he was getting on her nerves
“Because this one has a chip in it, see?” he said referring to the chip on the bottom of one of the plates “We need to bring out Grandma’s china, where is it?” Omari said searching around in the kitchen
“Look, boy it’s either this or paper plates, it’s up to you,” she said stirring around the contents in the pot
“Ma, you know I was just kidding, I love these plates,” he said putting them back on the table
“I don’t know what your problem is, you never acted like this before, shoot, we never even got to meet your old girlfriends, let alone their parents,” she said as she pulled out the meatloaf from the oven and put the tomato sauce on it
“Well, that’s because none of them are as perfect as Christen, she is definitely mama-meeting material,” Omari said as the doorbell rang, “Ma, how do I look?” he said straightening out his Sean John outfit
“You look fine, now get the door,” she said as she took off her apron, “Honey, they’re here,” she yelled as her husband ran downstairs
Christen, her mom, dad, Chris, and Candace stepped inside the house, which by the way was really nice, almost as nice as Christen’s. She hugged Omari and pecked him on the lips. He kissed her back, kinda surprised she would do that in front of the parents
“Hey, Omari, meet my family. This is my mom, Brenda, my dad Darryl, you know Chris, and my little sister Candace,” she said as she went down the line
“Nice to meet you all, now here’s my family,” he said as his five other siblings ran downstairs, “My mom Leslie, my dad Eric (making up a name,) my brothers O’Ryan, Tymon, and Ukil, and my sisters Arielle and Kyra,” he said as he pointed to them all
They all shook hands and hugged and all that good stuff,
“Oh, we bought dessert,” Brenda said as she handed her the platter “Peach cobbler, and sweet potato pie,” Omari was licking his lips as she said this
“Girl, did you put nutmeg in the cobbler?” Leslie asked her
“Leslie, that is the key to good cobbler,” Brenda said
“Girl, you know it, we are gonna get along just fine,” Leslie said as they all went in the dining room and ate
Omari, Christen, and the Parents sat at the dining room table, while all the others sat in the kitchen table. They ate and talked and laughed and ate some more. The moms talked about food, and exercise, and gossiped. The dads talked about their days in the military, and good music, and other men stuff. Chris talked to Victoria on his cell the whole time, and O’Ryan tried spitting game at Candace, even though she likes Shad. All in all, it was a very good night.
It's kinda short, but y'all still love me, right?
