Red Nation: Chapter 38
                          
~Lexis P.O.V.~
                          
"So where'd those chains come from Pops?" Ty asked as we sat at the table. I was starving and wanted to eat but we had to wait for Nelle. 
                          
"Uncle Varo. We made a bet and I got 2 of his chains. Why you askin' youngin'?" 
                          
"I like 'em." Fair enough. "Can we just eat already? The food is just getting cold and I'm just withering away." 
                          
"Over dramatic ass. We gotta wait for Mom." Who finally made her appearance with a happy Ivanna in her arms. "Giver her here." I said holding out my arms. She placed her in my arms and I stood her up on my lap so she was also at the table with us.
                          
"Thanks for waiting." Nelle said as she sat across from me. Ty was on my left and DeShawn was on my right. "So what did you all do today?" She asked. 
                          
"I stayed home and chilled." No shocker there Ty. We already know. 
                          
"I was feelin' a little sick so I was basically sleeping all day." DeShawn yawned. "I think I got a cold." 
                          
"Ewww and you're sick? Take your food upstairs then." I said covering Ivanna and I's nose and mouth. 
                          
"Ewww." She imitated in a muffled tone. 
                          
"Awe that was cute." Ty chuckled. 
                          
"Alright, goodnight you guys if I don't come back down again." DeShawn said grabbing his plate and heading upstairs. 
                          
"Anyways, I shot some hoops with Varo, Arlie, and Sage." I said piling on the food onto my plate. Since I was sharing with Ivanna, gotta make her her own pile on my plate. 
                          
"You didn't bring me?" Ty whined. 
                          
"No. This was just to settle the bet." 
                          
"What bet?" Nelle asked. 
                          
"Dad, the Uncles, DeShawn and I saw a fine female walking by and Dad said if they was all shirtless she'd come by so Uncle Varo and Dad bet on it." Why the fuck would you tell your Mother that. 
                          
"God Dammit Ty." I said under my breath. 
                          
"Lexis-"
                          
"I was more interested in her shorts. They were truies." I smiled and Ivanna looked up at me and smiled too. 
                          
Truies though. 
                          
"This is why I don't worry anymore." No one said you had to worry. We got matching rings don't we? "But who's Tilly Beans?" 
                          
"That's a damn good question. I wanna know who she is too. I just know Sweets knows her." Based on her name, I could only imagine who she is.
                          
"I'll talk to Sweets-"
                          
"Alone or-"
                          
"Lexis." I was just asking! I can't ask questions in my own damn house now? The fuck? It's my house. 
                          
"I sense a little tension." Ty said looking back and forth between Nelle and I. 
                          
"Uh oh." Ivanna said before grabbing a handful of corn. 
                          
"I agree with Ivanna." Ty said. 
                          
"I'm just kidding Nelle. I'm over it." I continued with eating but I could feel that batman stare coming from her end of the table. 
                          
"Yeah I'm sure you are." I saw that roll of her eyes.

"Who do you think is gonna win. Raiders or Vikings?" Ty asked.
