THANKSGIVING DAY
JACE











Now that Anaysia and I were engaged, it felt like we were closer than ever. She's geeked out about it, especially with the nice ass ring I got her. I didn't spend to much on it, only about 1.5k on it. I wanna get something even better for when that special day comes around.




Right now, we on the way to her mother's home for Thanksgiving dinner. It started at 6, but we're gonna get there early to help get everything set. We decided that I'll take my car down there and drive, instead of having someone drive us down there.















" Want something out of here?" I ask Anasyia as I stop to get gas at a gas station.

" Just some water..."

" You sure?"

She nods and I go inside the store, getting a few snacks. When I come back, she smiling all extra hard.

" Why'd you get me these?"

" Cause you know you wanted them...yo ass love to eat on Kit Kats.." I say, while waiting for the tank to fill up.

" You know I love chocolate..."

" Mhm...hence to why you ain't been able to keep yourself from stickin' to me.."

I chuckle at Anaysia's face after I say that. I go back into the car and drive off.

" What do you mean by that?"

" Ever since I asked you to marry me, I can't name an instance where we ain't been doin' it..."

" And you think that's all me? You have a problem..."

" Whatchu sayin'? You calling me an addict?"

" that's the word! you can't got a day without it..."

" is that I challenge I hear?"

" if that's how you wanna take it...then I guess it is a challenge."


" Ight..challenge accepted."









45 MINUTES LATER











We finally made to Ms. Nicki's house. I immediately get family reunion vibes just from seeing some kids out playing outside and people out grilling food. I park the car across the street from house since the house is kind of crowded, and we got out and to the house.






" What if they ask about the ring?" Anasyia whispers to me.



" Then tell em what it is....or you could come up with something..." I say. She giggles as we enter through the backyard gate.

A bunch of people get up and greet the both of us. Most of the kids come up to meet, asking me a bunch of questions. I'm guessing it because I'm famous for basketball. I notice how much of a mix it is around here. There's some white folks around here, I'm guessing that's Joe's side of family. Once the kids resume to their activities, I go and chat with Joe and a few others. I notice Mr. Mitch sitting by himself and I invite him over to where I'm at. He glances at me, and nods as he drinks a beer.








" I'm real proud of you man.." Mr. Mitch says.

" I appreciate it Mr. Mitch..."

" You doing a good job....keeping my babygirl happy and all...you keep it up.."
