Mitchum and Me

CALLUX
I need a pillow.
For my head.
Because I need a nap.
Callux deserves a fucking nap.
JANIYA
“What do you think of this?”
I hear Mom asking Dad about some dinner plan she has for the upcoming weekend. He’s trying to comb his hair while mom is shoving meal plans in his face.
“Oh! Maybe Harriet would like this?”
“Odette,” Dad firmly says, “why don't you put your mind on the Savior before putting it on His people?”
I close my laptop and press a hand on my forehead. After I fix and straighten my shirt, I walk towards the main door to meet my parents.
“Janiya, are you ready? Jesus cannot wait any longer!” Dad yells from the kitchen.
“Yeah!” I call out. “I'm by the door.”
“Okay, this looks good.” I hear Mom swooning. She makes her way towards me and says, “Oh and Janiya, dinner at the Berumen’s home next week. I know you have work before the dinner, so you could just drive there after your hours.”
I sigh.
Oh, God.
I need a pillow.
For my head.
Because I need a nap.
Callux deserves a fucking nap.
