"So what are you getting?" Mina quizzed as she held the 50 dollar bill in her hand.
"Chicken Foot, Cucumber, Red and green peppers and Vinegar." Hannah listed as she reached for the money.
Mina held it out of her grip. "And if Alois wants something don't be afraid to buy it." Mina then handed the money over.
Hannah nodded and put the money in her phone case. She glanced at her cousin. He stood there looking at her with a innocent smile.
Alois loved aunty Mina, she always babied him. "You heard the woman~." Alois hummed as he pulled his coat closer to himself.
"Shut yer skunt." Hannah snapped as she bent down and tossed him his black matte timberlands.
"I don't have a skunt. You do." Alois chuckled as he slid his feet into his feet.
"Language Alois! Don't make me wring your ear!" Angela quipped from the table.
Hannah laughed and rolled her eyes.
Alois rolled his eyes and mocked her.
Hannah slid her feet into her adidas slippers and zipped up her magneta coat.
"Wait- you're crazy if you're wearing socks and slippers outside." Alois pulled out his phone.
"And? This bitch is a winter baby." Hannah hummed as she smoothed it. "My belly look flat?" She quizzed.
Alois glanced up at her then back at his phone. "Yo get the fuck out the house." He turned her around and shoved her.
"Skunt? Do you have to man handle me like this?" Hannah sniffed and put her hands on her tummy.
Alois let out a dry chuckle and held his phone above them at Selfie angle.
"Ehh! I'm here in Brooklyn with my baby! My buxton backdam! My cousin~! Say Hi!" Alois said enthusiastically.
Hannah glanced up the camera. "Hi." She said flatly.
Alois frowned. "You'se a fucking lie. You know you can get loud!" Alois shoved her.
Hannah broke out into a shameless twerk right there on the sidewalk. "This is Buxton backdam~!" She cheered as she looked back at it.
"Get it! Ooh! Ooh! Throw it an circle! Slow it down to the floor!"
...
"My vagina hurts." Hannah said as she watched her cousin reach for the vinegar.
"And I'm still basking in afterglow." Alois chuckled as he looked for the cheapest vinegar.
Hannah shifted her weight. "What the heck do you do in California when you aren't here?" Hannah questioned.
Alois picked up a glass bottle of vinegar and put it in the basket. "School? The fuck?" He laughed and kicked the basket along. "I also work and sleep and eat and breathe." Alois added.
"Same cuz." Hannah sighed. She glanced at him then nudged him. "You're literally the only thing I look towards. I wait all year for you to come and last year was so fucking long and lonely without you."
Alois looked up from the list. "Maybe if your ass wasn't so loud my mom wouldn't have had to throw my ass in Juvenile detention and therapy." He nudged her. "You're my favorite cousin, I'm not gonna lie. You can be a bitch sometimes but," Alois gagged. "I love you."
Hannah rolled her eyes and blushed. "Jesus- I can still remember the look on their faces when they walked in." Hannah gently giggled.
"And I was balls deep in you 'bout to bust a nut. I can still feel her wringing my ear." Alois grabbed a plastic bag and filled three cucumbers into it.
"I can still feel those tawa lashes." Hannah shivered. "Mommy was really mad."
"The way you were crying though-" Alois snickered.
Hannah rolled her eyes. "Tawa lashes hurt! But you wouldn't know since your mom insist on non-physical punishments."
Alois whistled. "Cause she knows I'll slap the shit out of her. Dad won't even care, he beats her too." Alois shrugged.
They got online and waited until their turn.
After that they split the bags, three each and began walking home.
"Where's my change?" Mina held out her hand.
"There was no change." Hannah said flatly. "And you owe me 5 dollars." Hannah added.
"Oh shut your skunt." Mina waved Hannah off. "The amount of food you'll eat this thanksgiving will surpass five dollars."
Hannah pouted. "But mommy I wanna buy a new phonecase."
"Hannah, please." Mina waved her off.
Hannah rolled her eyes and unzipped her coat and put it on the rack.
"Phonecase or dildo?" Alois teased from behind her.
Hannah elbowed him. "You're trying to get my ass beat aren't you?"
"I mean; I've got five dollars if you want it." Alois hummed as he walked around her.
"Give it." Hannah said as she tucked her hair into a messy bun.
"Pagaley." Alois chuckled. "I meant on my credit card."
"Insult me one more time." Hannah snapped as she shoved his head.
...
"The jackrabbit 5000?" Alois quizzed as he stared at her laptop.
"It's supposed to vibrate." Hannah commented as she read the info.
"Dam Hannah." Alois remarked with cockney accent.
"Well what am i supposed to do when you aren't here?" Hannah giggled and pressed 'Purchase'.
"I always thought you had long fingers." Alois sighed as he rolled onto his side.
Hannah snickered and closed her laptop. It would be here around the 30th.
She turned onto her side and occupied herself by staring at her cousin. Hannah reached up and ran and hand through his loose blonde hair.
"Can I braid your hair?" Hannah asked curiously as she pulled a strand down.
"Only if you take it out when you're done." Alois rolled onto his back and stared up at her ceiling. "I have to fart." He said flatly.
Hannah rolled off the bed and went over to her vanity. She grabbed a small comb and some hair grease.
"I actually thought this would hurt." Alois commented as he looked around her room.
"Why would it?" Hannah chorlted and shook her head. "Damn Alois you can't keep your head bent?"
"Sorry." Alois sighed as he bent his head once again. "But when you get your hair done and shit, it looks so tight and painful."
"Beauty is pain." Hannah quipped. "And do you wanna come with me to the hairsalon tomorrow?" Hannah finished off the first braid and then added grease to his scalp.
Alois clicked on his phone then clicked it off. "Yeah sure. Mom smd aunty Mina will probably send my ass back and forth if I stay here."
"She's always getting on my nerves, always fucking up my mood." Hannah grumbled.
Alois exhaled. "Who? Aunty Mina? Noo."
"Please, you don't live with the woman all year round." Hannah added more hair as she went. "Aunty Angela sounds more welcoming."
Alois scoffed. "You'd clock her with all of that nagging. Ontop of that, she has these bouts of depression. One minute she's sulking and the next she's at my school picking me up for a mother-son day." Alois opened his phone and lazily scrolled through his Facebook newsfeed.
He got 56 likes on the video he filmed with Hannah.
"So what are you doing with your hair?" Alois questioned.
"I don't know. Whatever 200 dollars can do. Maybe poetic justics braids." Hannah shrugged. "Maybe I'll just get goddess braids."
"Poetic justice braids? Goddess braids? Uh, enlighten my white ass about these hairstyles." Alois tucked his feet under himself and stared out the window.
Hannah laughed and wheezed. "Poetic justice braids are big box braids and goddess braids are like, large corn rows."
Alois raised his eyebrows. "What's so funny?" He inquired.
"'Enlighten my white ass about these hairstyles.' Why would you say that?" Hannah held her stomach as she wheezed.
"Well because I'm not acquainted with female hairstyles." Alois shrugged. "And I'm definitely not acquainted with the African culture of hairstyles for that matter."
Hannah snickered as she finished off the last braid. She added grease to his scalp and then did his edges with edge controller and a toothbrush.
Hannah gave him a mirror and sat back to admire her work.
"Ooh!" Alois made a 'pop' sound with his mouth. "My edges though and the fuck did you do with my hair?" Alois felt his hair as he held the mirror up. "Are these corn rows?"
Hannah nodded. "You know i had to slay." She hummed.
"Let's take a picture because I like it." Alois clicked on his phone and swiped up, opening the camera.
Trap Queen played as Alois held the camera at selfie angle. He made a cute pout and patted his head. Hannah was next to him, waving like an idiot.
The camera shook.
Alois' hair was tussled and loose. He bit his lip and winked at the camera, his sparkling blue orbs grabbing attention.
Hannah flipped her hair and pouted, her lips red and eyebrows slayed.
...
"You behaving yourself?" Mina asked as she dished out food onto a plate.
"My grades are good." Alois shrugged. "And yeah."
"Good, Good. You're aunty's baby and I don't want you to let my hand fall okay?" Mina paused. "Do you eat curry?"
Alois shook his head. "No." He said politely.
"Just try. You got skinnier." Mina said as she dished out some curry into the side of the plate full with MacNCheese and Fry chicken.
"Mommy! I want roti!" Hannah whined from the table.
"Come get it, don't tickle your luck girl." Mina snapped as she gave Alois his plate.
"But you're giving Alois food!" Hannah whined.
Mina cupped Alois' face and kissed his forehead. "If you want seconds just come dish it out."
Alois nodded. He felt all sweet inside. Aunty Mina was like a loving granny.
He turned and grabbed a roti from the microwave and walked off.
Hannah picked at her leftover curry when Alois plopped beside her.
"My fuckin god." Alois sighed. "When i leave I'm gonna be fat as fuck. You want my curry?" He asked as he hands her the roti.
"Do I?" Hannah used her spoon to take it from his plate. "And you're a fuckin twig."
"Yeah, but Twig is preferred by the girls." Alois chuckled before he began to shovel MacNCheese into his mouth.
"Do you have sex when you're not here?" Hannah quizzed as he sucked on her curry covered fingers.
"No." Alois picked at his fry chicken. "You think I'm gonna stick my dick in every bitch I meet?" Alois pushed a piece of chicken in his mouth. "I get oral."
"I thought you got hoes." Hannah teased.
"Ya, but I don't fuck them. They suck my dick so I can keep interest in them." Alois dropped a clean chicken bone on his plate.
"I swear they'll gang up on your ass one day."
"Oh my god. Aunty Mina wants to pig me." Alois groaned as he fell onto her bed.
"You could have said 'no'." Hannah sat in her computer chair.
"But that's aunty Mina! I can't say no to her." Alois rolled onto his side and hugged one of Hannah's pillows.
Hannah shook her head.
"It's like you love my mom more than your own."
"You got that right. I hope she adopts my ass." Alois affirmed.
Hannah squealed and clapped. "Oh my god! You living with me all year!" Hannah squealed once more. "And we can do everything together!"
Alois sighed and closed his eyes. "I just hope she doesn't use the tawa on me." He mumbled. He felt itis taking him over.
"You? You're her baby! She probably would." Hannah chorlted and came over to the bed. She lay next to him and pulled a new clean blue blanket over them.
"Remind me not to piss her off." Alois let out a small laugh. He shifted and put his arm under her breast.
"I will." Hannah sighed.
She felt Itis taking her over too.
