R.I.P
Cashmerre's pov
"varo what are we doing here?" I said as he opened the door for me to get out. He took my hand and guided me through the tombstones.
" where here to see your mother." He said as we stopped in front of a tombstone that read :
"Rest In Paradise
Latasha stout
Gone but never forgotten
1977~2014"
I felt tears welling in my eyes. Varo tightened his grip on my hand. I kneeled down and touched the tombstone as varo let my hand go to give me space.
" Ma , I miss you so much." I said as tears rolled down my face. " I hope you and Uncle Marcus are living it up up there. I'm sorry i missed your funeral , I was in the hospital trying to make sure my funeral wasn't next." I said with a chuckle. " I love you so much ma." I started breaking down. " I wish i can hug you and say sorry for all the stuff i put you through. I know you wanted me to grow up and be successful or some s**t like that." I said. I started shaking as more tears rolled down my checks. " man i wish i coulda did something to avoid all this but i couldn't."
" Ma you know i don't like crying so imma go now , i love you so much." I kissed her grave and stood. Tears continued to fall as varo pulled me into a hug. After what seemed like hours me and varo pulled apart and made our way back to the car.
We got back in the car in drove in silence until varo spoke.
" You aight?" He said taking his eyes off the road to look at me. I thought for awhile. Am i alright?
" I don't know , i mean i can't do nothing about it so i really don't have no choice but to be alright." I said looking out the window.
" No matter what cash you know ima be here for you , you bae and i love yo ass , you and yo nasty ass attitude." He said lighting the mood. I laughed and flipped him off.
" I'm not ready to meet your parents." I said honestly. To be real i don't know if this relationship is serious or if its even an relationship. I mean we never made it official , yea we kissed here and there but i don't know if it's enough to call it a relationship. And what if his family is crazy , i mean mine is too but i dont know im not good with meeting new people. Y’all saw what happened with chantel or whatever her name was.
" Relax you'll be fine and it's only my momma anyway." He said focusing on the road.
" What happened to you dad?" I asked looking at him. He shrugged and bit his lip.
" I never met him." He said plainly like its nothing.
" So you never had a father figure?" I asked out of curiosity.
" lexii's dad was there half the time but we was never close." He said shrugging his shoulders again. I whispered an oh and the rest of the ride was silent.
We pulled up to the same house lexii had her kickback where i first met varo.
Varo got out the car and came around and opened my door. I got out the car and he grabbed my hand leading me towards the door. Music was blaring and people was on the porch and in the yard talking , varo said hey to a couple people before we went into the house. The house was full of grownups , teenagers , and little kids.
" Varo!." We turned around and saw scooby walking towards us. I didn't really know him but i know he helped bust deshawn so he cool in my book. I laughed when i saw him struggling to hold two full plates.
"Whatsup scooby, Who invited you?" Varo asked dapping him.
"My wife did." He said pointing towards a lady who looked in her mid thirties she looked like an older version of lexii so I was guessing it was varo's moms. Varo mugged scooby and walked towards the lady , she was seasoning meat and talking to this lady.
" Momma!." Varo said making her jump. She looked up and rolled her eyes at him.
" Varo don't be screaming in my house." She said hugging him. Her eyes fell on me as she pulled away from varo. "who is this?" She asked looking me up and down.
" Oh, ma this my girl cash , cash this my moms." Varo said introducing us. I smiled as she looked me up and down.
" I see you brought in another one." She said laughing wiping her hands on a towel. I rose an eyebrow as varo chuckled nervously aware of my anger building up.
" nah ma it ain't like that , she real." He said wrapping his hands around my waist and kissing my cheek.
" varo go find lexii and let me have a moment alone with cash." She said picking up a glass and taking a sip out of it. Varo nodded and left. I watched varo leave as his mom looked at me.
" So you dating my baby?" She asked taking a sip of her drink. Why she gotta be so rude and s**t.
" Last time i checked he wasn't a baby." I said giving her the same attitude. She rose and eyebrow surprised at my comment .
" So you a smart ass." She said checking on her meat. I chuckled and took a seat at the island.
" something like that." I said. She stared at me and i mirrored her glare she broke the gaze by smirking.
" I like you , your real blunt. God knows varo needs somebody like that to hold him down with his hoeing ass." She said, i burst out laughing at her she joined in my laughing as she put meat on a plate.
" You know how to cook cash?" She asked raising a eyebrow.
" Yea i guess." I said as she gave me some vegetables a knife and a cutting board. I started cutting carrots as we conversated. She told me varos a mommas boy ever since his daddy left when he was 9, that shocked me because varo told me he never knew his dad but its whatever. I told her about how i just recently lost my moms and she gave me advice on how to cope with a death. I actually liked varos moms she reminded me of my moms.
