"Let me tell yo dumbass something...this house is filled with weed, hooka, and drinking. There are half-naked women in there grinding and dancing on men with guns in there pants. BECAUSE THIS IS A GROWN ASS PARTY. and you gone bring your son in this environment knowing the shit he's already seen and been around"

"Couldn't nobody take care of him bruh, get off my back. I put him in the back so he could chill and take a nap."

"you didn't even have to come"

"i had a business thing to come see about remember something you was supposed to help me with so i might aswell stop by and see my peoples"

"No this is a party...if you had to bring your son you could've waited until tomorrow and you know that, you just wanted to be nosy and see what i was on"

"man fuck outta here with that"

"tell me i'm lying"

"youre lying" he said taking out his blunt.

"you a fucking crackhead" i said mugging him

"ya momma"

"youn wanna talk about crackhead mommas" i said starting to get mad.

"why you still here?"

"why did you even show up?"

He shrugged his shoulders making me roll my eyes at his ridiculousness.

"a nigga cant come to a party?"

"not to mine"

"see...that's yo fucking problem, you're judgmental"

"now you just talking"

"yes you are, you know what i'll give you your props you love to help and that's what i love about you, but you're fucking judgmental ; you resented your own best friend for making a living you didn't see fit, you didn't wanna come with me to the hood because you were nervous but in reality you look down on people that live there, you judge me for some of the things i love to do but end up doing the same fucking thing bruh"

"aj i'm leaving...because at this point it's getting ridiculous"

He grabbed my hand before i could leave lifting my face up to his, "you a pretty girl with a pretty soul, but you got some growing to do...we all do. ion give a fuck about your new nigga cause i know he ain't me, and can't treat you how i treat you, deep people feed off each other. Sooner or later you'll see he's not giving what you need in the relationship and he's a average nigga that just happens to have all shit together."

Tears started to stream down my eyes making me mad and i mugged him.

He put the blunt up to his mouth and wiped my tear, while blowing smoke in my face. He let me hand go and did a low chuckle in front of my face.

"kill yourself"

He chuckled as i walked away into the house.

"Aye what's wrong?"

"nothing i'm just ready to go..."

"aight but what about the kid we can't just leave lil bruh here by himself."

"I know come on let's just go"

"naw i know you ready but at least put him to sleep or something i feel bad leaving that man in that dark ass room and the only tv is in the living room, he don't got shit with him, no snack no nothing, don't be selfish ree"

i walked past him and went into the room grabbing adrian as he followed after me.

"You can just leave ima stay here, just come back and get me around 8 okay?"

"Yeah...that's-that's cool"

I took a long pause wanting to say something

"You sure you good tho?"

"yeah everything's fine" He turned off the light for me and walked over to me.

"stand up"

He stood me up and gave me the deepest hug I've ever felt. Wanting to cry in his arms i didn't i stood there feelings numb as he lowered his hands to my butt and gripped it giving my forehead a peck.

"Aight"

"bye" he let me go and licked his lips.

He lightly slapped adrian head giving him brotherly love.

"ouch" he rubbed the back of his head mugging him.

"don't do that" i chuckled shaking my head.

"tell yo lil peanut head ass daddy i'm not doing his tattoo i'm busy this weekend"

he threw his middle finger up leaving me shocked.

"That's exactly what you get"

"Mane fuck him, ima eat all yo fruit snacks" He stuck his tongue out at adrian leaving the room.

"Now where you get that from"

"my momma"

"mhmm i'm sure"

"i see her tomorrow i tink"

"really that's good...i know you miss her"

"ion know" he shrugged his shoulders.

"how you don't know?" i laughed and he chuckled while facepalming himself.

"her name bribri"

"that's a cute name"

"mhmmm, i like bribri cause she give me her hot chips, she let me watch grown up shows, and she got a big booty"

"adriannnn" i gasped trying not to laugh. "don't say that boo"

He shrugged his shoulders not giving a care in the world.

"but she be having boy over sometimes"

"how old is she boo?"

"she in school"

"yep HIGH SCHOOL"

"ohhh she's 16..."

"noooo i said 61" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"i'm sorry"

"that's okay" he gave me a huge hug and the tears just started streaming.

"what be wong" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"nothing"

"i give you hug and you feel....better?"

"yeah a hug would be nice"

He laid down beside me laying his head on my chest and hugging me. I wrapped my arm around hun slowly falling asleep with him.

This was the longest and most he ever said to me. Though Adrian wasn't my child i really missed hun and really hoped he would start speaking alot soon. Even though he's 3 he's very smart and i really wished he'd showcase it.
