“Hey pretty,” I said, squatting down so that I was eye level with her.
“Hi,” she said shyly, moving closer to her daddy. I thought it was so cute the way that she cowered under Dontae. I could tell that she was a daddy’s girl, and that she loved her daddy unconditionally just by how close she was holding onto him.
“Baby girl, that’s Breesha. Remember I was telling you about her?” Dontae asked his daughter.
“Yes I remember Daddy,” she smiled.
She grabbed her daddy’s hand and I walked next to her, inside of the mall.
“Daddy, she is so pretty,” I heard Bria try to whisper to Dontae.
He gave me a smile and we walked inside of Justice Clothing store, because that’s where Bria wanted to go first. I helped pick her out a few outfits, and next we went to Champs so Bria and Dontae could get them a pair of Jordans.
“Baby, you like these?” Dontae asked, holding up a pair of gray, white, and red Jordan 13 sneakers.
“Yes they are cute. You going to get them?” I asked, sitting on the bench inside of the store.
“No, I’m getting them for you,” he said.
“You know I don’t wear sneakers. Whenever you see me, what am I wearing? Heels or sandals,” I said.
“I’m going to get them for you anyways,” he said, flagging the Champs associate over to us.
“Baby, what size?” he asked me.
I gave him an annoyed look and told him to get me a size 5. He also got the same pair for Bria as well. After he paid for the shoes, I wanted to go into Victoria’s Secret Pink and pick me up a few outfits. As soon as I pulled my card out to pay, Dontae stopped me. That’s what he did in every store that we went into. I liked the fact that he wanted to pay, but I was so used to being so independent that I didn’t really know how it felt to have somebody else pay for my things. I worked for my money, so I was able to buy myself nice things. I didn’t want to feel like I was offending Dontae by not letting him pay, so I didn’t say anything, but I honestly didn’t want him to make this a habit, even though I knew he wasn’t going to listen to me anyways.
After shopping for damn near two hours, I had a sudden urge to pee. Luckily, we were right next to a restroom.
“Baby I’m going to run inside the restroom right quick,” I said, handing over my bags to him.
“I’m going to go with Breesha too,” Bria chimed in.
I smiled at her and the two of us headed inside the restroom. After we finished, an elderly lady walked by us and stopped the both of us.
“You and your daughter are so adorable. She looks just like you,” she said smiling.
I didn’t want to tell the old lady that Bria wasn’t my daughter, so I just smiled at her and told her thank you. On the way over to catch back up with Dontae, I felt Bria come close to me and held my hand. I thought that gesture alone was so adorable. Even though we had just met a few hours ago, this little girl was really starting to win over my heart. After we left the mall, we headed back to the car.
“Bae, leave your car here. We going to ride around and I don’t think we should go in two separate cars,” Dontae told me as soon as we walked out of the mall.
“Okay, that’s fine,” I told him as we walked over to his Camaro.
Once we reached the car, Dontae sat all the bags in the trunk, while I helped Bria get into her booster seat in the back. After that, I went around and sat in the front seat with my man. This day was going so perfect. All those negative things that I felt were going to happen today, they didn’t happen. I could tell that Breesha really liked me, and I liked her even more.
“Baby, where are we going now?” I asked him once he pulled from out of the parking lot.
“I’m going to go holla at my mama real quick,” he said, swerving into traffic.
I looked at his ass like he was crazy, because I didn’t know anything about meeting his mother today. I was already scared to meet his daughter, so I knew that I was going to be scared shitless of his damn mama. I already knew how mothers could be when it came to their sons, so I knew that this lady wasn’t going to spare my ass for shit. Plus, Dontae had already told me about his mother before, and I was able to conclude that she didn’t take no shit, which is why I was so scared to meet her. I believed in respecting my elders, but if this woman got slick with me, I was going to have to defend myself.
“Baby, chill. I already told her about you. In fact, she can’t wait to meet your ass,” Dontae told me, squeezing my thigh.
I nodded my head and ten minutes later, we were pulling up to a brick house out in Miramar. Dontae pulled into the driveway and parked the car. We all got out and headed for the front door. Dontae didn’t even bother to knock; he just used his key, and we were all walking into the house.
“Ma! Ma, where you at?” Dontae asked
, coming in the house, with Bria and me walking behind him.
