Y/N
My flight just landed as I was in LAX's baggage claim getting my suit case. I walked throughout the crowd of people who was either trying to get to their flight, leaving from their flight and heading to baggage claim. My phone begun to ring as I seen my Fifteen year old sister Laila calling me.
I answered and placed the phone to my ear. "Hey Laila" I answered. "I'm out in the front" She said as I was confused. "Momma let you drive?" I questioned. "Yes" she answered excitedly "oh lord" I expressed as I headed out of the airport and seen my mothers SUV. Laila immediately got out running towards me as I giggled hugging her.
"Hi baby" I said excitedly as she giggled hugging me "Hey" She said. "Yo guess what?" She said excitedly as I giggled "What?" I questioned looking down at her. "I got my dress for my sweet sixteen" She said excitedly. "Yeah you have to put it on when we get back to the house so I can see it" I reminded as we walked to the car and my mother got out the passengers seat hugging me. "Hi baby" She expressed hugging me tightly as I smiled hugging her back. I missed her warm embrace and just being under my mother, I loved her so much!
"Hey mommy" I said as she smiled and pulled back looking at me. "I missed you" She admitted about to start crying as I poked out my bottom lip. "Don't start before you make me cry" I expressed as she kissed my cheek and we got into the black Tahoe SUV, I decided to drive back to my mothers house.
"Why is there so many people parked on the street?! Who in the neighborhood?" I questioned. "Some celebrity just moved in so that's why" my mother expressed. My mother was a fashion stylist/ designer and was very popular when it came to celebrities and what they would wear on their red carpet or events. She work as a seamstress and designed things here and there when I was younger and when she was still with my dad.
My parents divorced when I was like eleven and he left my mother with Laila and I which caused her to struggle in the expensive ass state of California. So my mother picked up a trade as a medical assistant and would design dresses and clothes as a side hustle from her original job to keep a roof over our heads. When I went to prom she designed my dress and it made it onto social media and since then everything has been history.
She met a guy who invested into her. She ended up getting her own shop in Beverly Hills along with her own building where she does consultations, dress fittings and she designs her dresses at. Along with all of this she's finally got back into dating so I was happy for her. Not only was she making six, seven figures but she also has a guy she's been dating for a couple of years now.
I turned into the drive way of her house and parked the SUV.
"Where the hell Rashawn at?" I questioned looking for my older brother as my mother laughed. "He with his "Girlfriend"" Laila air quoted. "Why you say it like that?" I asked her in a small laugh. "I don't like the bitch" my mother bluntly said making me laugh. I was about to hand her, her house keys to unlock the door but she told me to unlock the door as she was getting something out of her purse.
I unlocked the door as it was dark and I turned on the lights seeing balloons and people jumping out to yell surprise making me jump. I looked over at my mother and sister as they laughed. I was seeing close family and friends as they all hugged me and said "welcome home". "Go upstairs and go change" I heard my mother say to me. "Steelo or Michael help her with her things" I heard my mother say as I Steelo came up to me and we immediately hugged each other. "Atlanta must've been treating you good to where you NOW coming back" he said as I just sucked my teeth "shut up and come on" I said making him chuckle and he followed me upstairs bringing my bag. I went into Lailas room and she had a whole bathroom in her room.
"Spoiled ass" I said making Steelo laugh. "After tonight you're going to be the spoiled one" he said as I giggled "I don't know about all of that" I said as he placed the bag on my bed. "You still mad at Micheal?" He asked as I made a face and he laughed. "Yeah because nobody told his big headed ass to do that" I said and rolled my eyes making Steelo laugh more.
"Ayo get ready so we can talk more. I missed you" he said giving me a friendly hug as I smiled. "I missed you too Steelo" I admitted as he walked out closing the room door behind him.
I unzipped my suit case and took out a dress with a nice pair of sandals. I went into the bathroom taking a shower just freshening up. I brushed my teeth and did a cute natural, makeup lite look. I already had my lashes done so I just filled my eyebrows in, lined them, added light foundation, contoured some and threw some lip gloss on.
I took my weave out of its bonnet as it reached passed my butt some. I seen my sister had a crimp iron so I begun to crimp my hair. I heard the door open to the room as my sister came into the bathroom smiling. "Let me see the dress" I said excitedly looking at her through the mirror. "Y/N/N right now it's about you." She said as I looked at her. "Girl it's just a welcome home get together I don't care" I admitted "let me see the dress" I said as she walked into the bathroom. "Y/N I'm serious you've been gone for years Almost ten years coming straight out of high school we want to enjoy you" she assured as I looked over at her.
"Laila I didn't mean to leave you straight out of high school I just wanted to hurry up and get my life straight before just in case mommy's business didn't work so I could help support you two" I admitted. "It's okay" she said. "Yeah but every time you see me it doesn't feel like it's okay. You're my little sister if momma couldn't give it to you then I was going to make sure that you got it, no matter what I had to do" I explained.
"Yeah but Y/N we're okay now so just take it easy, I understand you're graduating from school and you're becoming a Nurse practitioner but you CAN take it easy now. All you do is work" she said as I just sighed. "Have you spoken to your father?" I questioned "he's your father too" she said as I just shook my head. "I don't deal with him" I simply said "well he's downstairs" she said as I just simply sighed. "I'll be down in a minute" I assured as she walked out. I finished my last piece of hair then placed lotion on and threw on a dress. I sprayed my body with some perfume before slipping into my sandals.
I looked at myself in the mirror and faintly smiled
I walked out the room closing the door behind me as I went downstairs. Michaels mother Miss. Donna came up to me immediately hugging me, I hugged back as she stepped back smiling at me. "Hi baby how are you?" She asked excited as I smiled "I'm fine mama, how are you?" I asked she smiled. "I'm good now that you're home" she said making me smile harder.
"I'm glad you came back home safe. I been on your mother ever since you left. She got my baby out in Atlanta by herself like that" she expressed as I laughed. "You look really good" she complimented "thank you" I thanked in a giggle as Michael started walking up to us.
"Mama I know he doesn't have a Brillo pad on top of his head" I started off as Michael just straight faced me making Miss Donna laugh. "You just got here" Michael expressed. "I'll leave you two to catch up" Miss Donna said before kissing my cheek and walking away.
