“When you dating these niggas or whatever the fuck you have going on with them, ask yourself if you dating the type of nigga that you would want our daughter to date when that time comes. If not, you know what the fuck to do. Lock up. I’m out,” I said and walked out of the room.
She followed me as I made my way down the stairs. When I got outside the door with Taniya, she walked up behind me to kiss our daughter on her forehead a couple of times, and then she went back inside the house. What a fuckin’ day!
The next day
9:47 P.M
These days, the shit in my life was pretty much repetitive. I sat up in the hospital room, visiting my ole boy with my daughter for pretty much the whole day. This was Taniya’s first day really finding out that her Pop Pop was sick. She loved that man, so when she walked into the hospital room earlier today and saw his condition, she broke down. Granted, I’d already warned her about his state while we were in the car, but it did nothing to prepare her for it. If anything, seeing all the weight that he’d lost along with the machines that they had him hooked up to had more than likely scared her, so that played a part in her emotions as well.
We stayed with him at the hospital for the majority of the day, and when we left, it was a depressing mood. My daughter didn’t even want any time ice cream; that’s how I knew that she wasn’t in the best of moods. I called to check up on Shae twice today, and both times, the conversation was dry.
I loved Shae more than anything in this fuckin’ world, but I was good on her for the time being. We had a little one on the way, so at the moment, I felt like that was the only thing that really mattered. Even Taniya knew that shit was rocky in my relationship because she’d been asking about Shae since we landed early this morning. I missed having my shorty around. I missed everything about her from her damn smell, that first thing in the morning pussy, her laugh, her cry, her massages, all that shit.
Right now, I was in the basement of the house, watching CREED II. There was a blunt resting between my fingers and a shot glass that was once filled with Hennessy, which I’d just finished taking to the head. My daughter was in her room sleeping, and I’d only been in there for maybe ten minutes because I’d just finished showering and getting ready for bed myself.
The alarm had made a sound, indicating that the front door had opened. That’s when I looked at the camera on my phone and saw that Shae was walking through the door. I released a sigh, and I paused the movie right quick. I was surprised that she even knew how to make her way back over to this bitch. She had the nerve to even fix her mouth and say that I didn’t come home when she didn’t bring her ass over this way either.
I put the blunt out, which wasn’t much left but a roach anyway and jogged up the stairs. When I saw her, she was walking through the foyer. Her eyes landed on me, and she jumped. We looked at each other for a few seconds, and there was an awkward silence. She was dressed down but still the prettiest thing that I’d ever seen in her pink Nike Hoodie with the matching Nike sweats and running shoes on her feet. From how nice her hair looked, I assumed that she must have gone to the hair salon this morning because it was bone straight. Her purse was on her shoulders, and her car keys were still in her hands.
“Hey. I honestly didn’t expect you to be here. I just came to get a few things,” she said and attempted to walk past me, but I grabbed her arms to stop her.
“Where you expected me to be then?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow because I honestly just wanted to know where the hell her head was at.
“I don’t know, Toddrick, just not here. I don’t want to argue with you. I just came to get a few things, and I’ll be out the door,” she said, and this time, I let go of her arm.
“How long you going to be over to your grandma’s crib?” I asked.
“Times like this, I wish I wouldn’t have sold my house, then I could have been staying there instead. I’m thinking about renting an apartment or something and—”
“Go get the shit that you came here for, shorty, because you on good bullshit tonight. You standing in a fuckin’ mansion, yet you talking about renting an apartment. You talking fuckin’ crazy,” I barked because just the thought of her going to get an apartment annoyed the fuck out of me.
“What good is this fuckin’ mansion if it’s not even filled with love? Don’t act like you’ve been sleeping at this fuckin’ house the whole damn time, Miami. I stayed here maybe a week after you and I started beefing, and in that week, you didn’t come home. Cut the bullshit! If I left, it’s for a reason, and you know it. Baby, I’m sorry about what’s going on with your dad, I really am. God has the final say so in that, and I’ve been praying for him every day. I swear, I do. You’re pushing me away, and I don’t like the person that you’re becoming, so I’d rather not be around you,” she voiced.
“The same day I told you that my ole boy is sick was the day that I found out about the conversation that you had just finished having with Trip. The same conversation that you wouldn’t have willingly told me had taken place, and you know it. I also found out in that same sentence that you changed your number because of him, which I had suspected all along. I ain’t pushing you away, shorty. A nigga is just not in the business of being lied to, and you know it.”
“Well, maybe we were wrong when we crossed that line. You were once Trip’s friend, and we shouldn’t have taken it there. I’m sorry if I came and fucked up your life,” she sarcastically said before she headed up the stairs.
I was right on her ass. When we reached upstairs, she saw that the door to Taniya’s room was cracked, so she pushed it open and looked
inside. She wasn’t aware that my daughter was there. I stood outside the door and watched as Shae went inside. She pulled the covers up more on Taniya and then kissed her cheeks. After she adoringly stared at her for a few more moments, she headed for the door, closing it behind her.
Again, I was right back on her tail and feeling stuck. In one breath, I said that I didn’t want her or this relationship, then in another breath, I knew how much I needed her ass. Now that we were inside our bedroom, she went into the closet while I closed the bedroom door, making sure to lock it. I took a seat at the foot of the bed while I watched her in the closet putting a few more items of clothes in the duffle bag that she had on the floor.
Voices were in my head, and they were having one hell of a fuckin’ conversation. On one hand, I had a voice cursing me the fuck out, telling me that I was really about to sit my ass right there and watch this woman pack up her shit and prepare to leave this house. On the other hand, I had another voice telling me to just let her go. Sighing, I stood up and joined her in the closet. As I walked in, she was trying to grab something on top of the shelf. I gently pushed her ass out of the way.
“Don’t you know when you’re pregnant, you’re not supposed to reach over your head. Your grandma should have taught you that. What you needed from up here anyway?” I questioned.
She sucked her teeth loudly and rolled her eyes hard as fuck. I wished that those bitches would have gotten stuck because she did that shit far too fuckin’ much.
“See how you keep testing me? Now when I argue back, it’s going to be you telling me that I’m crazy. You been fuckin’ with me since I walked through the fuckin’ door. Damn, just let me get my shit, and Ima leave! Stop acting like you care if I leave or I stay. I’m pretty sure you have bitches on speed dial that you can call,” she said.
I didn’t mean to laugh, but I burst out laughing in her face. When she didn’t crack a smirk, I had to really dissect this shit and come to grips with the fact that this crazy ass woman was serious.
“Please tell me you’re playing. You really think I’m here fuckin’ something? With my daughter in the house, shorty? What type of dirty ass nigga you take me for?” I questioned.
“Miami, you haven’t been getting pussy from me! You eat, sleep, and breathe pussy—”
“Yeah, I eat, sleep, and breathe your pussy! Fuck outta here with that shit. That’s why you beefing with me? You think when I wasn’t coming home, I was out there fuckin’ something?” I asked her, and she wouldn’t answer.
