Chapter 11: You.

It’s Michael’s birthday weekend. Lady and Della were in both of their rooms, packing. Michael had texted Della, letting her know that he was leaving from his uncle’s house in Decatur and would be there soon. As Lady packed her clothes, she reflected back to homecoming night when Della came back home from her date. Lady was half asleep, laying on their purple sectional and watching TV in the living room when Della walked in.

“Oooh, it smells good in here, sister. You must’ve gotten bored and decided to clean up,” said Della, as she stood at the door, taking her heels off.

Lady popped up from the sectional and replied back, “Yeah, I got bored. Plus, I remember you talking about how you were going to clean the fridge out whenever you got around to it, so I figured I’d give you a head start.”
