Odell
Ever since Destiny left the other day, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I don't trust this Shawn nigga and Daya just seems like she doesn't care.
"I'm not having some random nigga putting his hands on my daughter."
"He puts his hands on her? Odell we might as well just run up on him." Jarvis suggested.
"No Jarvis.. That'll make things worse.. I just want to somehow get custody of her."
"Whow, you think you really wanna do that? With all the stuff going on now?"
I sighed looking at him.
"All that shit don't even matter right now. I just care about her safety."
Jarvis sat back in the chair smiling at me.
"WHAT?" I asked frustrated.
"Dad."
I rolled my eyes looking at him.
"Man don't start this 'dad' shit again."
"What? You're such a dad. I'm kinda proud of you for finally getting your head out of your ass." He smiled patting my shoulder.
I pointed to the door as I heard a knock on it. Jarvis walked over and opened it for me as I went into the kitchen.
"Odell yo momma and baby here!"
My eyes widened as I walked over to the door.
"Mom when'd you get him?"
"Valerie said I can watch him for a few days so, I thought I'd bring him by." She said handing him to me.
I walked over to the couch sitting down putting him on my lap.
"That girl is something else Dell."
I looked up at my mom.
"Whatchu mean?" I asked playing with Eli's curls.
"She's just.. Uh. Pick better people to have accidental kids with." She mumbled.
"Mom, don't put it like that."
"I don't get how this keeps happening." She laughed sarcastically.
"Yeah like, this happened one time, then another, then ANOTHER. Haven't you taken health class in school? Do you know what a condom is?" Jarvis laughed.
"Odell what ever happened to that girl?" Mom asked.
"Ciara?"
She nodded.
"She's uh.." I sighed taking Eli's pacifier from him before he took it back. "She moved to LA."
"Uhmp.." Mom sighed. "She was a nice girl. To bad you ran her away."
I stood up putting Eli on my hip.
"Mom you got alot of mouth. You know that?" I asked laughing.
"I may have alot of mouth but you are the reason Valerie's leaving.." She mumbled.
"What? Valerie ain't going no where.."
"That's not what I heard...."
Valerie
"This joint too heavy!" Jordan said throwing my tv back onto the bed.
"Jordan!" I whined.
I've been packing stuff away into boxes for a few days now. Surprisingly I'm almost done.
"Girl you got some nice clothes, imma need you to hand some over." Crystal said taking stuff out of my draws.
"No! All you do is take my stuff." I whispered.
Jordan held up a dress observing it.
"Crystal I think you would look good in this-"
I quickly looked at him.
"What did you say?" I hollered.
"Imma go and get the next box." He said leaving the room.
As he did Tessa walked in smiling.
"Aw little sister's packing to leave. I'm gonna miss you." She said hugging me.
I patted her back slowly.
"You too.." I smiled.
As she pulled away I looked at Crystal.
"Bitch. You talkin' to my brother?" I laughed.
Crystal shrugged looking around.
"Welp good luck!" Tessa smiled.
I shook my head.
Looking over to the bed I saw that my silent phone was ringing. I quickly picked it up to see Odell calling. Rolling my eyes I answered it.
"Yes?"
"Are you really moving?" He quietly asked.
"I am. Wassup?" I asked changing the subject.
"Why? Did I do something?"
I looked at the phone sighing before putting it back to my ear.
"Odell, I just want a fresh new start." I stated.
"So you just wanna move my child away from me?"
"Wow Odell, like you would actually care." I laughed.
"I do Valerie, I'm sorry for the way I acted and treated you. Even if you don't except my apology just know that I do care."
It stayed quiet for a few moments.
"Odell, I'm moving in 3 weeks. I guess I'll let you watch him for part of that time. Your mom has him right now though." I informed him.
"Okay.. And Valerie. I REALLY am sorry.." He repeated.
"Um hmm, well bye now." I said hanging up.
"What'd baby daddy say?" Crystal asked throwing a hanger at me.
I picked it up throwing it in trash.
"He apologized."
"With his large ego? Wow. Surprise, surprise." Tessa laughed.
