"Aliegha Lee Jackson, if your not down all 22 steps, I'm gonna drag you down and make sure you hit all." I yelled in frustration. Aliegha does this every weekend when it was time to go to her father's house. I had Aliegha when I was 20 or as my mother says Fast and Hot in the ass. Me personally, I think it was a perfect age.
Aliegha dragged herself downstairs with her bag and her nose red like Rudolph from crying.
"Why do you do this every weekend?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes.
"Fix your face." I grabbed my keys. We walked outside and I opened the door for her and she got in. I shook my head and closed her door and got in myself.
"Is someone touching you there or something or you just don't wanna go?" I asked as I backed out
"I don't understand why I have to go there. There's nothing there but badass kids." She mumbled the last part but I heard her loud and clear
"Watch your mouth." I corrected her.
"Can you pick me up tonight?" She asked
"The reason why you have a bag Aliegha is because your staying. If I could, I would but your father wanted to have you on the weekends." I explained to her.
"Are you hungry?" I asked but she didn't respond.
"Okay since you wanna have an attitude, then starve." I said as I pulled into their neighborhood.
"Mommy please pick me up tonight." She whined
"Aliegha, You are getting to the age where whining is not even necessary and it's not gonna work." I took a deep breath. "You know what? I'm gonna see why your acting like this myself because I don't like starting my weekends like this." I said as I turned into their driveway. I turned my car off and got out and opened her door. Before she went in, I cleaned her nose off and the crust in her eye and we walked on the porch. I knocked and Lela came smoking a cigarette.
"Where is Shawn?" I asked irritated.
"Sleeping." She responded blandly
"Can you wake him up, I need to speak to him." I asked. She rolled her eyes and went to get him out the bed. Me and Shawn never got along but if it was dealing with Aliegha, I was willing to communicate.
He finally made himself down the hallway and to the door to address the problem
"Shawn, I don't know what you or that woman you call a wife is doing to MY child, but I'm gonna need it to cease as of today." I said
"Ain't nothing happening over here. You coming here early in the morning talking shit and thinking you own someone and she's OUR child." He rambled.
"Okay so if she's OUR CHILD then I wanna know why OUR CHILD gets upset EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND when it's time to leave? I swear to god, If one of your drug addicted, nasty, no house having uncles be here touching my child, Your going missing." I said through gritted teeth cause I didn't wanna raise my voice
"Man get out of here with that shit Jourdin. You gonna let me have her or not cause if not then I can take my ass back to sleep." He said yawning
"Last time you said that, I took her home and your bitch ass called your lawyer and said I refused to bring her over here." I responded.
"Whatever man. Aliegha, Get in this house so she can leave." He said rubbing his head
"Giving me a fucking headache at 9am." He mumbled and walked in the house
"Bye mommy." She hugged me and I kissed her forehead.
"I'll be back tomorrow, If something happen, call me." I said and let go of her. She walked in and shut the door. I hated starting my weekends off like this but it could get better. I got inside my car and decided to drive to the super market.
