"You can stay up here if you want."

I shook my head.

"Nah, I'm gonna have to face him eventually."

I mumbled as I got up and walked out the room, heading downstairs with Mak right behind me. L'a turned his head and locked eyes with me. I could tell by the car seat that he had his daughter with him. He just stared at me. I sighed and walked past him and into the kitchen. I heard him and Mak start whispering to each other.

"Hey Nikaaaa!"

I turned around to the kitchen entrance, seeing Rondo. Yes his ass was still here.

"Tf you want?"

I asked rolling my eyes.

"Ugh! How rude?!"

I stared at him. I know he wants some of my food.

"Rondo...."

"Can I have a hot pocket?"

See I knew it.

"Boy-"

"Lemme talk to you for a second."

L'a said as he came into the kitchen and grabbed my hand. He no longer had the car seat.

"Nigga no! I need an answer to this hot pocket I'm tryna eat!"

Rondo said as he grabbed onto my other hand.

"Man if y'all don't stop pulling me like a fucking doll!"

I said snatching my hands from both of them. Rondo pouted.

"But-"

"Omg Rondo just take it."

L'a said clearly frustrated. How Tf you gonna give him permission to eat my food?

"What? Nigga nooo how you-"

L'a cut me off mid sentence.

"Bro I'll buy you moreeee. Just come I gotta talk to you."

I looked at rondo was was already digging in the fucking freezer. I sighed and followed L'a to my room upstairs. I watched as he shut the door behind us.

"Man why you just standing there like that?"

He asked sighing as he looked at me.

"Leonard what do you want?"

Was all I said as I sat on my bed.

"I owe you an apology."

He mumbled as he sat beside me and looked down in his lap.

"Look you don't gotta tell me that I was wrong. I already know I was and I'm sorry."

He said looking me in my eyes. I laughed a little and broke eye contact with him.
