" No doubt....you know, we ought of hang out some more often.." 

                          
" I agree..." he says. We continue to go on and talk about different hobbies we like to do and what interests he has. I notice Anaysia had came back outside and was watching us. She grinned and waved her finger toward me. 










                          
I walk to Anaysia and we walk inside of the house. The house overall was pretty dope. It was basically a mansion, but it's like I didn't get that vibe in there. Anasyia takes me to where the kitchen and living room was at. There's was a bunch of women in there, some of them helping with food and some kicking back and chillin'. Ms. Nicki comes out of the kitchen and gives me a hug, asking me how I was doing. Then, I see Ms. Angie sitting watching TV, but all I do is wave. I don't know how Anaysia feels about her. I follow Anaysia to the dining room, where we both choose where we want to sit. Anasyia gets up to use the bathroom, so I go back to the living room and watch some TV until she gets back.







                          
" So, you're the superstar rookie on the Lakers, right?" a lady says from behind me. I turn around and nod. 




                          
" Yeah...."




                          
" And your name is?...."



                          
" Jace...Jace Hightower..." 




                          
" Jace. I'm Kyla...Anasyia's cousin."

                          
" Oh..ight..." I say, turning back around. I could sense she was the type of cousin who tried to take someone's man. 

                          
" I heard about your mom....that must've been hard to deal with.." she says. I turn around confused on why she even brought that up. I feel Anaysia come underneath my arm and intervene before I said anything. 




                          
" Kyla, I heard your brother was looking for you. He said something about having some results come back from the clinic...you should go check that out.." Anasyia says. Kyla looks embarrassed and wanders out after rolling her eyes. 






                          
Anasyia looks up at me and grins, and I couldn't help but smile. 










                          
" Where are we going?" 

                          
" You'll see..." Anasyia says as we go upstairs. She brings me into a room and sits down. 

                          
" Why we in here?" 

                          
" I just wanted to bring you away from all of them girls....most of them are thirsty...like the one you just seen..." 

                          
" I wasn't fallin' for all that girl....you know that..." I say, looking at myself in the mirror.







                          
" Are you enjoying yourself?" 

                          
" Yeah...your folks are pretty dope for the most part...and this house is nice too.." 

                          
" Hopefully we can do this for Christmas..but with your family...."

                          
" Ah, I don't know about that one...I rather kick it with you family.." 

                          
" What...they don't accept me?" 

                          
" Nah, it's most or so the personal issue I got with my dad...nothing more.." 

                          
" Oh...." 

                          
" You ready to go back downstairs?" 

                          
" Yeah...let's go..." she says. As we walk down the hallway, Anasyia bends down, apparently fixing her shoe. Once she gets up, she stares back at me and grins.
