"Aye, I'm bouta head out, you taking lil man to your moms?"

I rested up against the bathroom doorframe, watching Tanaya do her makeup.

"Yeah, she's gonna keep him until this afternoon, she has plans so she said we gotta pick him up by 7:30,"

"Ight, I should get off around 6, so I can swing by and pick him up,"

"Good, and don't be late again, cause I have plans too tonight, so I need you to stay in with CJ,"

I frowned a little. "And what kind of plans you got?"

She looked up at me through the reflection in the mirror, slightly scrunching her face up.

"Um since when did you care about my plans? Oh, don't tell me what happened the other night has you trippin,"

I sucked my teeth. "Ain't nobody trippin, I was just bein a concerned baby daddy, I ain't even thinking about what happened anymore,"

"Right," she said, closing her mascara bottle. "Well good, cause I'm not tryna make anything more complicated than it already is, I'll be home around 11, so make sure CJ gets his bath please,"

"I know how to take care of my son," I started. "You don't gotta tell me,"

"Okay," she said in a sigh. "Well I'll see you later then........be safe at work,"

"Yeah.... You too,"

I stepped out of the bathroom and made my way out the room and into the second bedroom where CJ was.

I smiled a little to myself once I seen him asleep in his crib. I leaned over, holding onto my hair, as I kissed his cheek.

"Be easy lil man," I said lowly.

"I got a game tonight, you gone be watching?"

I smirked, as I placed in my last earring.

"If me and my girls don't got plans tonight then sure......I guess I can tune in,"

He chuckled. "It's never just a yes or no with you, but I'll take it,"

"Good, I gotta go though, I have class in a little bit, and my professor already basically hates me so,"

He laughed. "I get it, it's cool, can I call you after my game tonight?"

I smiled a little bit. "Yeah....sure..... I'll answer if I'm not busy,"

"Cool.......I'll hit you later then,"

"Okay, bye,"

"Damn," he started. "I don't even get no good luck or nothing?"

"Good luck," I said in a chuckle. "You don't need it, but good luck anyways......take it home,"

"That sounds a lot better.... Ight, you be safe,"

"You too,"

"Bye,"

"Bye,"

I tapped the red phone icon, ending our call.

I took one last look at myself in the mirror, before pushing open the bathroom door, automatically hearing a loud thud behind it.

"Ow!! Goddamn!!"

I frowned, quickly stepping out, to see Jade and Trinity both holding onto their heads in pain.
