LIFE || a.a

Chapter 12.

"You want dat too?" I ask her.

"Yeaaah!"

"Ite, c'mon we gotta go back home. Ya mama said she on ha way." I tell her, grabbing her hand & walking to the cash register.

After paying for her stuff, we make our way back home. Walking into the house, I sit her toys by the door.

"I go get juice daddy." She says, walking into the kitchen.

Sitting down on the couch, I pull out my phone & go through the messages I received today.

504-213-0893 : Life, wassup w/ that coke man?

504-213-7784 : I need sum weed

504-213-3364 : U sellin 2day?

After reading some & replying to some, Aubree comes in the living room and plops down next to me with a juice box.

"You turn tah cartoons daddy?" She asks me.

Picking up the remote, I turn the tv on & turn to sponge-bob for her.

Feeling my phone buzz in my lap, I see it's a text from Kenita.

Aubree's Mama : B there in 20. - received at 10:03am.

- Ite. - sent at 10:05am.

Looking over at Aubree, i begin to rub my fingers through her hair.

20 minutes pass, then 30, then 40 & then I finally decide to call Kenita.

Dialing her number, I put the phone to my ear & wait for her to answer.

"Hello?" She answers on the 4th ring.

"Whea you at man?"

"I can't make it, I'm busy. You have to watch her longer." She says, speaking fast.

Furrowing my eyebrows, I get up & walk to the kitchen so Aubree couldn't hear what I was about to say.

"Fuck you mean you can't make it!?" I say through gritted teeth.

"I can't pick her up today Life damn!" She yells through the phone.

"Kenita don't fuckin play wit me man, you know I got shit to do!" I yell.

"Oh fucking well Life, I'm busy. I'll come get her in like 3 weeks."

"3 WEEKS!?" I yell. "Kenita I will fucking kill yo ass bruh, I swea tah god I will." I yell.

"Whatever, bye." She says hanging up.

"SHIT!" I yell, knocking a glass off the counter.

Picking up my phone, I call my mama.

"Yes Anthony?" She says, calling me by my middle name.

"Aye mama I need a fava." I say through the phone.

------Kay's POV.

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY BIIITTTCHHH!" Nicki yells, bursting into my room with bags in her hands.

"Yes. Yes it is." I say laughing at her excitement.

"C'mon lets get you dressed, we got things to do & places to be." She says, pulling me up off of my bed.

*2 hours later.*

"Kay you look fineeee!" Nicki exclaims, while taking a picture of me.
