"Erica , you fail to realize I have a choice of if I wanna be in your life or not" My dad stated as he drove in the whataburger drive thru . "Im gonna do what I can after I pay my bills" I rolled my eyes cause I was tired of hearing these same bullshit ass lies. I'm 16 turning 17 in a month and he rarely did shit for me ; by choice cause he had money and time he just gave it to his other kids . "What you want from here ?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the menu "Can I have a number 2 , no mustard or onions and a sprite , please." He repeated my order to the order box ...
"So , where you going for your birthday ?" He asked pulling up to the window . "I don't know probably just to my cousin house" I reached in my Steve Madden backpack grabbing my 20 dollar bill . "Why did you wait late to come get me ?" I asked changing the topic .
" I took your brothers and sisters to chucky cheese and golden Corall" he reached into his cup holder looking for change . "Ima see what I can do for your birthday baby , okay ?"
"Yea" I passed my twenty to him and looked out the window "here go your sprite sir" my dad turned his head to the girl passing him the drink. "Thank you" he took a sip and passed the soda to me. I don't like drinking after him so I wiped the straw off with my sleeve and watched as he grabbed the orange and white bag from the lady at the window . "Here" I grabbed the bag from him and put it in my lap .
Whataburger was down the street from my auntie house , which is where I live . I don't live with my dad because he stayed with his baby mama and she don't really like when my dad other kids came around and I dont live with my mom because she and I don't get along at all , people say its because we have the same attitude .
Dad pulled up on the curb past my auntie drive way ; because he know even though my auntie is his sister she don't really mess with him like that because every time she tell him to do something for me it's always an excuse and she feels like it's bullshit . Everybody just want him to step up and be a man but he can't do that because his baby mama obviously got him pussy whipped .
Me and his baby mama definitely have different mindsets because I couldn't be with a nigga that's a deadbeat to his other kids cause as soon as we breakup and he move out he gonna be a deadbeat to mine . Also , I forgot to mention that my auntie don't like my dad baby mama because she keep sending him to jail , putting him out ,etc. I don't know if this is relevant to the story but his baby mama is African but she speak good english .
"Hold on , I'm about to call yo auntie to see if she can let the garage up" He said beginning to unlock his phone "no I got it" I said referring to the garage and door code . I said bye to the kids sitting in the back seat then I stepped out the car and walked up the driveway to the garage code pad .
Before the garage went up completely I walked under it. The front door was already open meaning either my dad still text her and told her we were outside or she heard the garage go up.
"Hey auntie , im home " I yelled letting the garage down and shutting the door behind me. "Hey , did his ass stop to get you something to eat like I told him to ? " my auntie asked walking out of her room to look and see if there was some food in my hand.
" Yes " I said holding the wataburger bag up
"How was your weekend ? " I sat at the table and began to take the burger and fries out the bag "shit I forgot my drink" I said in a very low whisper so my auntie couldn't hear me
"It was good , your uncle and cousin took me out to eat " she said with a big smile.
They didn't have kids together but my auntie had two kids before getting with her husband. Both the kids are grown now and have there own lives. My auntie basically adopted me due to the predicament I was in at first ; Since it was just three months ago I wasn't really used to the things I had to do here and the things they asked because living with my mom or dad they didn't really care to ask me how my day went or tell me they love me and give me hugs .
