Tahari

"Dad I told you multiple times! We didn't do anything we literally studied down here in the kitchen! We have this big test, and your trippin wit no map!" I yelled at him

"NO Tahari! I don't believe you! The last time I let you and a boy in my house y'all were kissing!"

"That was 7 years ago!" I rolled my eyes at him.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Tahari Knowles, and I'm 20 years old I was born on September 4 1981. Yes imma Virgo ♍️. I go to university of Georgia. This is my second year there, and I live with my father. I talk to my mother and my little sister but I don't really visit them but I visit enough for me to have my own room.

Now let me explain what going on right now. Me, and my gay friend was in the kitchen studying for this test we have tomorrow, and my father walked in when I was kissing him on the cheek, and hugging him. He just found out that his mother had HIV and was dying, she got it from his father. I was just being a good friend. He walked in and thought we were doing something. Now we're arguing because he doesn't want to hear me out.

"It doesn't matter! That little boy could have something just like his mother and father!" He yelled back.

"Mr. Knowles with all do respect. I don't want your daughter I'm into m-"

"Shut up boy!" My father yelled

"Dad! Your being so rude!" I yelled at him

"I don't give a f**k! Your over here being a hoe and s**t-"

"IM GAY!" He yelled at my dad

He my dad stopped yelling and looked at us. "What?" He said

"Dad he's gay, that's what we have been trying to tell you!" I said stepping closer to him

"I'm not into girls I'm only into men, my age."

"So you saying I'm old?!" My dad yelled

"What?!" We both laughed

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE BOY! And BEYONCÉ GO PACK YOUR CLOTHES YOUR GOING TO YOUR MOTHERS HOUSE!!" He yelled at me

Sheik grabbed his belongings, and packed up as I walked him out.

"I'm sorry She I don't know why he is acting like this." I sighed shaking my head

"It's cool, I'm gonna fly out there tonight. I'll see you tomorrow." He told me I gave him a hug, and he walked to his car.

I sighed, and walked back into the the house to hear my father on the phone with my mom. I just went up the steps, and began packing.

"TAHARI ITS YOUR MOTHER!" My father yelled to me

I went down the steps, and grabbed the phone from him.

"Hello?"

"Tahari what's going on?"

"He's mad because he walked in on me kissing my gay best friend on the cheek, and I was hugging him."

"You was? Why?"

"Because I was consoling him."

"For what Hari?"

"Because he just found out that his mom was dying, his father gave her HIV. Now she dying."

"Oh my- did you tell him that?!"

"Yes dad then he said that he prolly has something like his mom."

She sighed into the phone when I heard some guys voice in the background, I rolled my eyes because she got that nigga all in my business.

"Ok hello?"

"Yea momma."

"Then what else happened?"

"Then he yelled IM GAY! Then he was like what? Then I was like that's what we have been trying to tell you then She was like I don't like girls I like men my age and dad was like so you saying I'm old?! And then we laughed."

"Ok hand him the phone and finish packing ok?"

"Ok I love you"

"I love you too baby I'll see you tonight."

"Ok."

After the phone call I gave him his phone back, and walked back up the steps. To finish packing. In about an hour my mother was pulling up to the house. But I was done by then. She walked in, and began talking to my dad as she hugged me, and cuddled me in her arms. I'm not gonna lie I miss being in her arms like this it just makes me feel like a child with no problems.

"Come on Hari let a get your belongings ok?" She asked and I nodded my head letting her go, and we traveled up the steps, to see my stuff in big bags.

My father mostly carried things down because it was to heavy for us but we carried lightweight things to the car. Tomorrow we are going to have to come back and get the rest because all this stuff won't fit.

Once we got the stuff in, we said goodbye, and hopped in the car to pull off. While we were going to her house we made conversation, and she was telling me how she was going through something with Mr. Carter. I rolled my eyes in my head, because he's like 30 something and she's like 60 he don't want her ass no more. Especially with the old lady attitude she carries around sometimes.

We pulled up to the house, and hopped out. She went to the trunk, and so did I

"Tahari go to the door, and open it please." She said handing me her keys.

"And tell Mari Renae, and Shawn to come out and help us with this stuff."

"Ok mommy." I said then did as I was told

"THU THU!!" I heard Mari Renae yell

We both ran to each other, and I picked her up by her butt so she has more support and she won't fall.

When I let her go she ran to put her shoes on. I looked at Mr. Carter, and spoke.

"Hello Mr. Carter."

"Hello Tahari!”

"Well my mother needs your helps outside with my stuff." I told him.

"Ugh another one." He jokes and I giggled and turned around and he followed me outside.

We got everything out of the car with Mr. Carter's help, and up to my room where Mari mama, and Mr. Carter helped me set up in here. Mama eventually got tired, and left for a nap. Solo went to go make us some lunch, while we stayed and kept going.

Literally nothing was said it was just quiet. I walked out the room, to go get my speaker, and phone cord.

"Uh where you going because you not finna leave me to do this by myself!" He protested putting down one of my trophies.

"Chill Mr. Carter I'm just going to get my speaker, and cord." I said to him

He nodded and picked my trophy back up, while I went downstairs to get what I needed.

I went back upstairs, and plugged it up, as I hit play, one of his songs came on. I blushed in embarrassment, and I tried to skip the song but my phone wasn't trying to skip so I eventually gave up.

"Ahhh you got good taste!" He smirked pointing his finger at me as he sat down on the bed for a break.

I giggled as I put my picture of me, and my trophies on the trophy stand. I smiled because we got half of the room done in like 2 hours.

I sat down, and Mari came up with the food, and we dug in.

"Mhm Mari Renae this is good!" I moaned

"Thanks thu I learned from mommy." She smiled And so did I

"Well I'm gonna go take a shower, y'all are welcome to do whatever." Mari said as she took the plate out the room with her. We sat there for a minute just to cool off, we were still hot, and tired.

After about 5 minutes we got up and got to work. Eventually we finished all of what we had there today. Now we to get the rest tomorrow.

"Alright kiddo, I'll see you later." He smiled and walked out. I closed my door about to get ready for a shower.

I walked to my bathroom, and hopped in. I was singing, cleaning my body for like 1 hours when I hopped out I immediately went to my bedroom, to see Mr. Carter looking for something.

"Hey what you looking for?" I asked

"My phone, and my charger you seen it!" He asked me

"That Must explain why it wouldn't let me in?" I questioned looking at his phone."

"Sorry we just so happen to have his phone case." I told him.

He nodded "it's fine thanks." He said taking it looking down at my body then licking his lips then walking out.

If you are confused why it only too an hour to get to and back from the house of they live in different states because they both live close to the boarder line.
