Chapter 6: Damian Hakim: Damian and His Siblings

Date August 10 2014 Damian stood facing his new full Length mirror recognizing his new Image. "Not bad. 13 looks good on Me." He muttered in his Room which was amazingly without His pesky brothers and sisters for once. A knock on his door. On the other Side, her voice, "it's Nisha can I come In!" Damian yelled, "come in!" She Walked in and plopped herself on His unmade bed. "Happy birthday Big brother!" She was very gleeful. Damian was suspicious, "Ay, you just Came to wish me happy birthday?" "What else."...she cut him off. "I don't Want nothing." "Nisha don't lie." Then she felt forced to confess "Okay, okay, I just want $10 pleease." He ruffled her hair saying, "Alright" He reached for his black leather wallet on his massive mahogany Dresser, he grinned, "let me see what I can spare from my wallet book." and slid a new crisp 10 dollar Bill from the wallet. Afterward Damian played Video games with his brother Julius. Then The raucous began. "CJs home!" The Younger kids crowded him but Julius And Damian broke through. Julius said, "CJ can I have My pay day, you owe me don't you?" CJ replied, "Do I Ju?" So CJ was Generous and said "since today Is my payday, here here's fifty." "Good bye brother." Now the rest of You...and what you want Damian?" "I can't do nothing for you man." He gave all of the little ones $5. In clouding Manisha of course she Wasn't satisfied so both brothers Pushed her from the room. CJ faced Damian, "Now what can I help you With?" Damian said, "You can give Me the same thing you gave Julius." "Alright, tell you what. I'll give you a 20 Plus a share of video games stock. Playstation. Okay." Damian considered His prospects. "Alright but here I Don't really need this." He handed the 20 dollar Bill back to CJ. "Thanks any way, man." He left the Room with the stock certificate in hand. Now Damian has 9 siblings. 8 brothers Carter Junior age 17, Julius Lazar Aka Ju Or Jar age 14, Jackson age 12, Manisha age 11, Franky-Joe age 10 and 7 years-old Crysteph.
