Remy stood in the kitchen of the sprawling mansion in Aventura,
staring through the picture window that looked out over the
ocean. She heard the clacking of heels behind her and smiled
when she seen her cousin, Chante, and the realtor, Jason,
walking in to join her.
Chante. This is ridiculously nice, Rem.
Remy. Ain't it?
Chante. I do have a question, though. Girl, what are you goign
to do with this much house?
Remy. Shit, I don't know. Throw parties? Run around naked as
fuck?
Jason. Fill it with little Remy's?
Remy rolled her eyes as Chante lit up.
Remy. You gon' get her started.
Chante. You're in a new city, cousin! It's the perfect place to
find love and start a family.
Remy. Just because you still have that "new baby" smell on my
little cousin don't mean I want it, okay?
Chante. Oh, whatever.
Remy looked at Jason.
Remy. If you remember correctly, me and Chante ran these streets
together. Now the bitch is Chante Winston with that new cute
baby and she want everybody to live that life.
Jason. It wouldn't be a bad look on you, Rem.
Remy. Niggas can't handle me, and I ain't trying to be handled.
Chante. Let the record show, you chose to move from Carver City.
I'm still there.
Remy. How you expect me to stay there after everything that went
down?
Chante sighed at the somber tone the conversation took.
Chante. You can't blame yourself for that little boy, Remeisha.
I told you that.
Remy. I came to Aventura for a fresh start. Let me sit down here
and hoe in peace. If, and that's a big if, the right man comes
along, I'll consider entertaining him.
Jason. Okay, okay, no more sadness. Miss Chante, tell me how
married life and having a new baby is treating you.
Remy pulled a bottle of wine from the refrigerator and grabbed
three glasses, looking at her grinning cousin.[/center]

Chante couldn't hold her smile back as she reflected on her 5
month old daughter that she shared with Lamar. They had now been
married for about a year and a half, and it still felt like they
were newlyweds. Compared to her first marriage, she was living
in a different world.
Chante. Honestly yall... I'm loving it. I swear Lamar is the man
I used to pray for... and he's so good with Charlie..
Jason. I guess starting all over wasn't that bad after all..
Chante. You both know I was secretly dreading it... Back when I
had Myles, Owen was on the road playing ball so he was hardly
there..
Remy. Oh yeahh.. I remember that.. You went through postpartum
for a while..
Chante. Girl. That shit was scary.. -sigh- But this is different
now.. I can barely keep Lamar at work for a full day before he's
ready to come home and hold that little girl.. Sometimes we'll
visit him on his lunch just so he can get work done..
Chante looked over as Remy began pouring their glasses of wine.
Remy. Good shit.. I'm happy for you girl.. How Myles? and his
brother still staying with yall too huh?
Chante nodded.
Chante. Yeap. Malik is so close to graduating though so we
really want him to just stay with us so he can focus.. And Myles
is doing good too.. He wants to play basketball for his school
next year, so we're looking at camps for him to go to..
Chante took a sip of her wine as Jason spoke again.
Jason. So.. How do you like being married to a Winston? I'm sure
that name rings bells wherever you go..
Chante nodded and sipped her wine again.
Chante. It does, and that might be the least attractive thing
about changing my name, but it was really important to Lamar, so
I obliged.. -smirk- I'm just glad they haven't been on any of
the major news outlets in a while.
Remy. That is good.. Hell. It has to be a record for that
family.
Chante smirked and shook her head.
Chante. They're all doing really good right now.. We're supposed
to do Christmas at the big house in Hamilton Beach this year..
Yall should come..
Chante looked at the both of them as she anticipated their
reaction to her invitation.

Immediately, Remy shook her head.
Remy. Uh uh. Hard pass, boo.
Chante. Why?!
Remy. Christmas with big ass families is where the bullshit pops
off.
Chante. I promise you, they're good now. Lorenzo and Laila are
still married, legit thriving. Me and Lamar are good, Lacey is
engaged and planning her wedding, Liam is back with his little
family. It's great.
Remy stared at Chante as she poured herself a new glass of wine.
Remy. Trust me when I tell you, the **** will meet the fan on
Christmas.
Chante. So, you're not coming?
Remy. Oh, I'm coming. If for nothing else, I'm coming to cuddle
my cute ass little cousin and watch that Winston drama pop off
live and in living color, baby.
Chante laughed and shook her head.
Chante. Jason?

After a quick sip of his wine, and a clearing of his throat,
Jason sighed.
Jason. Sure. I'll come.
Remy. Don't sound so fuckin excited about it, Jason.
Jason. I have history with The Winstons.
Chante. With Lacey?
Jason. Liam.
Jason, again, sipped his wine as Remy's eyes almost plopped from
her head.
Remy. Excuse me?
Jason. It was years ago, before he even got to marry the white
dude he was with for a while.
Chante. Oh...well, if you don't want to--
Jason. Listen, all I'm going to be doing on Christmas is sitting
in my house with my dog and watching Friday After Next with way
too much Pizza Hut. At least I can get a meal and free liquor.
Jason pulled his phone from his jacket and texted his brother,
Jonathan.
Jason.:. So...I just accepted an invite to Christmas in Hamilton
Beach...with the Winston family. Tell me I'm really not as
stupid as I am, man.
He slipped his phone back into his pocket.
Remy. I forget you're bisexual. Women throw themselves at you.
Jason. Men do, too. Just not the men you think would do it.
Remy. What you mean?
Jason. All the Down Low ****, all the insecurities and anger
because I'm not insecure.
Chante. That's a thing?
Jason. A big thing. You'd be surprised how many queer men,
especially black men, hate me because I don't share their trauma
of being black, queer, and from the south.
Jason shrugged.[/center]

Chante nodded.
Chante. I used to have a client that was struggling with himself
for those same reasons..
Jason. Bein black and queer in the south?
Chante. Well.. He was from the north, but he came from a really
strict baptist family so even when he moved away from them, he
still had trouble letting go of all of the "shame" he felt for
just being him.
Remy. That's fucked up.. It's 2019.. Nobody should care about
men liking men.. Or women liking women.. They all cheat. People
aint shit in general.
Jason. That is the truth.
Chante nodded.
Chante. Well. I'm too excited that you guys are coming to the
Christmas Party... I'm still sticking to my guns though.. The
Winstons will be on their best behaviors..
Remy. We'll see..
Chante smirked just as her phone rang. She looked down at her
phone and smiled when she saw she and Lamar's picture pop up on
the screen.
Chante. Hold on yall..
She answered the phone while holding her glass of wine.
Chante. Yes baby..
Lamar. Hey mama.. You still helping your cousin get stuff
together?
Chante nodded.
Chante. Yeahh. We're taking a little break right now.. But this
house is gorgeous..
Lamar. That's whats up.. Tell her I said congratulations..
Chante. Baby says congrats.
She looked over at Remy as she lifted her glass of wine with a
smile.
Remy. Thank you..
Chante. She says thank you... How are the kids doing? Is
everything okay?
She heard his smile through the phone.
Lamar. Everything is fine. Charlie is down for a nap and Myles
and Malik outside playing basketball.. I was about to go mess
with them for a little bit but I realized I aint talked to you..
Chante. Awww. I miss you too.. -smile- I invited Jason and Rem
to the house for Christmas.
Lamar. Oh Word? That's gon be dope.. The more the merrier..
Chante. Yeahh. That's what I thought..
CHante heard the phone click and she heard Lamar pause.
Lamar. Hey baby.. I gotta take this call.. I'll call you back
later though.. I just wanted to check on you..
Chante. Okay.. I love you..
Lamar. I love you more..
She smiled and they both hung up as she looked back over at
Jason and Remy as they smiled at her.
Jason. It's so cute to see you smile like that.. You look like a
school girl..
Chante shook her head and rolled her eyes.
Chante. I feel like one too.. But.... I've been thinking about
restarting my practice yall..
Remy. Go for it..
Chante. I want to.. Im just concerned about Charlie.. I already
miss her like crazy.. And I don't know who would watch her
during the day.. Im also opposed to day care for her right now
since she's still so young..
