Once In A Lifetime (Sequel to Secrets)

Daddys Home

Natalie's Pov

I was more than happy when Craig told me about our trip. I really needed a break I was stressed out about the wedding, Hazel and Lorenzo. Before you know it she'll be five and I have to send her to school. I really don't want to. I'm always with her I can't let her go. Maybe she'll just have to be home schooled. I'm sure she feels the same way.

On top of that Craig is all excited about the wedding. He keeps pushing me to set a date. Then there's Lorenzo is acting like a jerk. He hasn't seen or talked to Hazel in months. I can understand him being mad with us breaking up. I didn't tell him I was leaving the state. At the same time I eventually told him. He didn't seem to care. The only time he comes around is when he wants to get back together. Why can't he ever come to see his daughter. He is the ultimate dead beat dad. 😩😒👏👏

As if I didn't have enough to deal with, Aaliyah showed up at my door.

I went to open the door expecting it to be the pizza guy with my food. To my surprise it was Aaliyah.

"What do you want?" 😐

"I came here to apologize for the way I've been treating you. I'm going through a lot right now. I'm sorry and you know I love you." Says Aaliyah

"I guess I forgive you. Just don't do it again. Are you gonna come in?"

"I was waiting for you to say so." Says Aaliyah

I let her in and she follows me to the living room.

"So where's Craig?" Asks Aaliyah

"He's out handling business. What's wrong you look sad."

"I am it's Jacob." Says A

"I'm sorry Craig told me what happen. Poor baby prince. 😕 Can I hold him?"

"Of course," says Aaliyah handing me the baby.

"So what are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna move on with my life. I need you to watch baby prince for me. I have a date with Daniel." Says A

"Wow you move fast. Ill watch baby prince. ☺ You always help me with Hazel. It's the least I can do."

"Oh thank you you're the best." 😘 Says A

"No problem that's what I'm here for." 😄

"So what's up you look stressed." Says A

"I am Lorenzo is stressing me out the most. He won't take care of his own daughter."

"That's pathetic I knew he was bad news. I told you since day one to let him go." Says A

"I wished I had listened." 😫

"Hey at least you got some good out of it. You have a beautiful daughter." Says A

"Yeah you're right thank goodness for her. She's the best thing that's ever happen to me. Well other than Craig of course."💁

"Speaking of Hazel where is she?" Asks A

"She's napping right now but ill go get her. Ill be right back." I make my way upstairs to Hazels room.

When I get there she's not in her bed. 😳 "What is going on here?"

"Mommy look its daddy. He came to see me." 😁 Says Hazel jumping up and down.

I look over and see Lorenzo.

"How did you get in here?"

"I snuck in the back. Aren't you happy to see me?" Asks Lorenzo

"No I'm not you have some nerve breaking into my house. Don't make me call Craig he'll beat your ass." 😒

"Don't be that way I came here to see my Daughter. You keep calling me so I decided to come down and make it happen. So here I am. I don't get a hug a kiss nothing." Says Lorenzo

"Why would I you were beating me up last time. You never ever apologized to me. I'm happy you came to see. Hazel. You can't stay here so go get a hotel. You can take Hazel whenever you want."

"Natalie what's taking you so long?" Asks A she peeks her head into the room.

"Sorry I was kind of busy."

"What is he doing here. Do you want me to call the police?" Asks A

"Auntie Aaliyah." Says Hazel running into her arms.

"Hi baby." Says A picking Hazel up.

"I think you need to leave." I say looking at Lorenzo.

"No I'm not leaving here." Says Lorenzo

"Fine you leave me no choice. Can you watch Hazel and him for me. Ill be right back."

I quickly leave the room and run to my bedroom. Locking the door behind me. I pull out my phone and call Craig. He answers on the 3rd ring.

"Baby come quick I need your help."

"What wrong?" Asks Craig

"It's Lorenzo I found him in Hazels room. He broke into the house. He won't leave and I'm scared." 😭

"Don't worry I'm on my way now. Call Chris he can handle it until I get there." Says Craig

"Okay I will and come quick."

I hang up and call Chris.

He answers on the first ring.

"Hey Natalie what's up?" Says Chris

"Are you at your house? I really need your help."

"Nah I was on my way to the store. Why what's wrong?" Asks Chris

"It's Lorenzo he's..." Chris cuts me off.

"Say no more I'm on my way." Says Chris

I stay in the bathroom until he gets there.

I hear banging on the door. "It's Aaliyah let me in."

I open the door and see Aaliyah holding Hazel and baby prince. I let them in and close the door behind me.

"Where's Lorenzo?"

"He's downstairs." Says A

"Oh good I called Craig and Chris. Chris is on his way now."

"Good cuz Lorenzo is crazy." 😩 Says A

"I can't believe this nigga. He always shows up at the worst time."

I hear shouting downstairs. "Lets go."

We run downstairs and I see Chris. Lorenzo and Chris are head to head. I have no idea if there about to fight or not.

"I'm not gonna tell you again. Get the hell out." Says Chris he pulls out his burner and points at Lorenzo.

Lorenzo throws up his hands. "Alright I'm leaving but tell Natalie ill be back." Says Lorenzo as he leaves.

Chris slams the door in his face.

"Thank you Chris once again you saved my life."

"Hey that's what friends are for." Says Chris

A few minutes later Craig walks in.

"Where is that bitch nigga?" Asks Craig

"He's gone I took care of it." Says Chris

"Good." Says Craig

"Now that Natalie is good I'm gonna go. Hit me up later." Says Chris before leaving .

"Alright later my man." Says Craig

"We need to beef up or security. I don't like him walking around my house." Says Craig

"I don't either I never thought he would go this far. It's not like I told him where I live. "

"He better be lucky I wasn't there. I would have chocked him to death. Lets stay at a hotel tonight. Ill have my people work on the house right away. From now on one of my boys will be here whenever you're here. Come lets go get ready. Just incase he comes back. I ain't trying to catch a case behind him." Says Craig

"Aaliyah I'm so sorry about this."

"Don't be it's fine okay. I'm just glad he didn't hurt you. Me and baby prince will be on our way. Ill call you later and tell you when I need you to watch him." Says Aaliyah

I walk her to her car and make sure she drives safely. When I get back inside Hazel is crying.

"Mommy why did daddy leave? Why does he always leave? He doesn't love me?" 😥 Asks Hazel

"Aw baby he does love you. He just doesn't know how to show it. Daddy had to leave okay. But maybe he will be pack. Go to your room and grab some clothes, and some toys okay. We're gonna go to a hotel for the night."

"Okay mommy." Says Hazel she runs upstairs.

I go upstairs and find my pills. After Lorenzo showed up my nerves were on edge. I started taking pills to help me with my anxiety.

I walk over to my closet and pull out a few clothes. Stuffing them into my fendi bag.

"Baby are you sure your okay?" Asks Craig

"No but ill be better once we leave this house."

"Lets go then." Says Craig

I grab my bag and we go get Hazel. Once we're in the car I feel much better. I can finally get away from this madness. Even if it's only for a little while.
