"Hey Tre." I greeted her . I was surprised to see Jameisha , Haze , Fish , Gavin , and Omar .
"Hey cousin." She kisses my cheek . "Hey baby!" She cheers as she took Jessie out of my arms .
I stepped to the side to let them in , still confused as to why they were here .
"Where's your dad?" Tre asks .
"On the patio talking to Kaleb." I told her . Irritation was evident on everybody's faces . Fish and Haze kept mumbling words to each other .
Soon after my dad and Kaleb entered .
"Wassup everybody." Kaleb greeted and shook the mens' hand . Everyone introduced themselves to my dad but I could tell that my dad wasn't too welcoming of them .
He pulled Tre to the side .
"Why are you with them?" He said through clenched teeth . His jawline was so sharp and the veins in his neck was visible .
"Unc-"
"You need to stay away from them . Do you hear me?" He points at her with a stern , serious look .
"But-"
"But me if you want , I'll whoop your ass like you're on my child!" He growls lowly .
Tre rolls her eyes and adjust Jessie in her arms . My dad has always been a father figure to his sister's daughters . His sister currently lives in Chicago . I'm not sure of her occupation .
"I better not catch you with them." He pointed back at the group .
"Now , y'all can get the fuck out of my house." He saids .
"We have business to handle Mr.Carol." Haze smirks . He was professionally dressed in a suit which made him look better than ever .
My dad tilted his head at him . "Lani go to your room and close the door. Take Jessie " I grabbed Jessie and did what I was told .
I wasn't sure on what to expect to happen outside my door but I just sat on my bed and patiently waited .
Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned to hours .
Jessie was now sleep and I was on the same route as her even though I was extremely hungry . My stomach rumbles as I thought of the food my dad was cooking .
Cabbage greens , cornbread , barbecue ribs , and macaroni wavered through my mind . I seriously wanted to cry .
"Lani." I jumped up excitedly , hoping it was my dad but instead it was Kaleb .
"You're okay?" He whispers as he closes the door behind him , strolling over to my bed .
"Im fine." I mumbled . I hate the way he makes me feel ; helpless and worthless . I fear him even when he's in the same room as me .
He sat next to me and begin to stroke my hair .
"I got a job . Are you proud of me?"
I nodded which caused him to smirk .
"Are you going to prove it to me?" He grasps the back of my neck , squeezing it lightly as he unzipped his pants .
I suddenly froze as I tried to get out of his grip . He has never went this far with me and I don't want him to start now .
He pulls his private area out of his pants and pushes my head downward .
"Stop!" I screeched . I started to smell a foul odor . I wanted to say that it was time to change Jessie's diaper but I knew it wasn't her . I started to feel sick to my stomach .
He pushes my head further down then Jessie woke up .
"Lani." Her small voice filled the room .
Kaleb let's me go and we both looked back at her . I stood to my feet and ran around my bed to pick her up .
"Come on Jessie . Let's go to daddy." I whispered in her ear . She lays her head on my shoulder as I scurried out of my room . When I entered the living room , I noticed noone was there . I figured . Kaleb wouldnt dare try to do anything to me if my father was home .
"Dada." Jessie begins to whine .
"Okay okay. Im about to call him." I rocked her as i went to the kitchen to grab the house phone . As soon as i picked up the phone , it was knocked out of my hand .
"What are you doing?" Kaleb asks with anger in his eyes .
"Move!" Jessie yells as she swings at Kaleb .
"Aight little girl." He playfully points at her . He then starts to inch towards me resulting into me backing away from him.
"I-I just want to call my dad." I stuttered .
"Im your daddy now." He chuckles .
"What the fuck!" A medium toned voice yelled through the kitchen .
