"I know you feel so much better Ms. Shelia" I said only loud enough for her to hear I took a seat next to her
"I knew God would work things out, In my heart I knew my baby was going to wake up it wasn't meant for him yet" she looked at him and back at me smiling
"I love that" was the only thing I could get out. it really is so beautiful when I see someone with such a strong family support system.
"So how is your child doing?" she asked me
Opening the uber app in my phone I checked to see how soon I could get one here I was ready to go shower.
Looking up I smiled at the mention of my baby "She's really good, she's with my best friend right now, I'm actually about to go home to her soon"
"You know I want to ask all the mother questions don't you?" she laughed and I joined her I figured but it's really no point her son was just a friend
"I bet Ms Shelia, I mean it's not really much I won't tell you, it's just me and her, her dad passed before I gave birth,"
"Sorry to hear that baby" I forced out a small smile "Thank you... uhhh We moved here when she turned 3 months" I shook my head "The rest is history"
"Your parents was okay with you moving to a strange place with a newborn" looking down at my phone the app was still looking for a driver, shit
"Um I was-" I started to say "What y'all talking about?" August asked with India still in his lap cheesing rubbing her hand over his chin
"Our business" his mama said almost with an attitude? August ignored it and we finally made eye contact, this nigga is something else. Still looking at me I just shrugged my shoulder and smiled at him agreeing with his mom
Feeling my phone vibrate Driver 26 minutes away... Thank you I thought
"Baby you need anything?" India asked him "Nah i'm good Jo." Jo? hmmph
'Why you like teasing with me so much,' I asked god in my head
"Chris about to bring some stuff up hea for me, Ja he said do you want anything from Chipotle? want me to tell him yo order?" he asked
Maybe it's just me who think this shit is crazy?
"No i'm good i'm about to leave out anyways" I said standing my uber was still 23 minutes away but I was ok with waiting downstairs
"You leaving?" he asked, Duh nigga!
"Yeah gotta get home to... work" I said not wanting to mention my child in front of none of the bitches I work with them hoes go low and I would not mind going lower over mines.
"uhh- you can come back later?" he asked
"Ant you have a lot of people who want to see you..." I was really trying to keep it cute "We can chill when you out I hope you get out of here soon though and have speedy recovery i'm really glad you good friend" I smiled standing up
"Wait ma let me talk to you in private real quick" nope he just want to talk me into some shit, I think he know he could now
"My driver is here, just text me ok" I lied to him "It was good seeing you Ms Shelia" I said she stood for a hug and I gave her one "Bye Dream" India yelled out being the messy bitch she is.
"You just have to have yo cake and eat it too huh" I heard his mama ask as I left out.
