A few Days Later
Ariel
I reached in the backseat and grabbed Armani's car seat, slowly taking it out of the car. I always hated bringing her back to Jaie's house. Not that I thought Jaie's house was bad or anything, but I always miss my babygirl. It's crazy how much more she begins to look like Jaie as days pass. Yeah, I know she had the baby but she doesn't seem to have any traits of the sperm donor. That's good though, I always wanted my future child to look like her.
Armani made me happy. When she would think she could crawl fast and try to get away from me, and how her little laughs and giggles made my heart warm every time. She's got to be the happiest baby I've ever seen, which is crazy because her parents are two fucked up ass idiots.
"Ugh ion want you to go princess." I poked out my bottom lip while looking down at her as I walked up the walkway to the house.
Armani didn't pay me any mind. She just tried to reach up and play with the toys that were hanging from the handle of her car seat while dropping on herself. I chuckled to myself and rang the doorbell.
A few seconds passed and Jaie came and opened the door. She smiled at me, then looked down excitedly.
"'Mamas!" She cheered as she grabbed the car seat from me. She walked into the house and I followed behind, tossing my keys onto the coffee table.
I smiled and watched the two of them, Armani smiling as soon as she seen Jaie's face. Damn, if Armani had teeth her and Jaie would have the exact same smile.
Armani's giggles filled my ears as Jaie took her out of her car seat excitedly. I watched them with a smile on my face for a while, but that smile fell when I looked up and seen Chris walking out of the kitchen with a bag of chips. Her eyes got wide and she furrowed her eyebrows, putting her bag of chips on the table.
Yeah bitch, I'm the babydaddy.
Chris walked closer and didn't say a word. Neither did I. I knew she probably had a million questions running through her mind, just like I did when I discovered she was the bitch that was taking Jaie from me day by day. I guess I can't be mad at Chris though. Remember I always said she was coo people? Yeah, she is. And she's always been nice so I know that if Jaie does give her heart to Chris, Chris would probably take care of it.
I nodded my head and she did the same, then I put the diaper bag on the couch. I feel mad, but I don't have a right to be. Right?
I cleared my throat and turned towards the door, speaking as I began walking out.
"I'll see ya tomorrow. I'm comin' to get her."
Jaie nodded and put her attention back on Armani as I walked out.
It's funny how when Chris is around I'm a nobody to Jaie but I've been coming over and taking care of her and the baby for about two months now.
Damn man..

"Si, where you been?" Shay said as she dapped me off.
"Baby mama drama." I said while I walked into the warehouse. I dapped off everyone else while shay furrowed her eyebrows.
Gany chuckled and got up, walking out.
"Nigga, you don't even have a dick. How in the hell you got a babymama?" Shay asked.
Mj and Rica both laughed, and so did I while I sat on the couch. Shay came and sat next to me still looking at me like I was crazy.
"Mane, She was my fiancé and one day we decided we was gonna have a baby, so we went and got a sperm donor and all that. Then once the baby was born, I signed that birth certificate."
"Wachu sign as? Daddy the dick supplier?" Shay laughed and I punched her shoulder.
"Shut up. I'm not answering that cause you gon' talk all 'bout it."
"I-"
Shay was cut off by Gany walking back into the room. Gany will joke with me sometimes but I still feel like for the most part, she dead ass doesn't like me. And it's always been funny to me, because I helped her with her damn problems my first fuckin' night here and even got thrown in jail for her ass.
"Aye Si, we goin' to the strip club. You coming?" Gany asked while putting on her gold Rolex.
"Shit, ion see why not." I said while shrugging.
"My maaaan!" Mj yelled as she got up, pulling out her phone.
I chuckled and she looked around as if she was thinking. "It's only 6, so what do y'all wanna do?" She finally said.
Shit, what the hell is there to do?
"We can go and get some drinks." Erica suggested.
"Aye, Si. You should invite Chrissy. Remember her?" Gany asked me, and I nodded my head slowly.
How about not? I wouldn't have any fun at all because she'd be all over me and want my attention. Well, that's even if she's still interested. I literally cut off everyone that I ever fucked with except Shay, Rica, And Mj. Gany doesn't count because we don't fuck with each other like that.
Jay and I still text here and there and cam will sometimes pop up but rarely. Tray is in college again and yeah. Really my life just consists of going and seeing Jaie and Armani. But that'll probably end soon because her and Chris are getting stronger and I can't stop that. All I really want is for her to be happy and if Chris is her happiness then fuck it.
I ended up not inviting Chrissy. I did text her to see how she was doing though, and she ignored me. When she isn't being clingy, she's mean and always has a damn attitude because I haven't cuffed her yet. And I'm not planning on it either so she can hang that shit up.
I sat in one of the chairs in the VIP section, getting twerked on by like four strippers. I was having a good ass time.
"Ayeee!" I yelled while tossing dollar bills on them, occasionally gripping on different body parts.
I looked over and the others and they were having a good ass time too. Shay was making out with one of them, and I made a face. I'd never mane you don't know where their mouth has been.
I already had lots of drinks and now I'm trying to stop myself before I get real stupid in this bitch.
"Finna get a private dance!" Mj yelled while being pulled to the back room by about five girls. I chuckled and shook my head while turning back around and putting my attention back on the girls who were dancing all on me.
I stood up and one of them bent over in front of me. I gripped her waist and grinded up against her from behind, and Erica ran up and threw money on while we both laughed.
Erica grabbed my arm and pulled me away from them, then pulled me over to the bar in the VIP section and made me sit down.
I still feel bad for what I basically did to Erica behind her back. Oh, did I tell y'all that her and Jay broke up yesterday? Yeah. It was because Erica got tired of her so I don't have much to worry about anymore.
She put a $100 under three shots, $1000 under four of the most powerful shots of alcohol, and more hundreds under different ones.
"Aw hell, you tryna kill my ass?" I laughed, and Erica shook her head while laughing.
"No fool, see how much you can drink and you get money duh!"
I shouldn't drink all of these because I'm not even over my drinking problem but fuck it.
As soon as I reached down to pick one up, I heard Mj's voice yell 'no!" I jumped and looked back at her. Wasn't she supposed to be getting a damn private dance?
"What?" I asked as Erica and I looked up at her.
"You know what Si. You had enough already."
Damn I forgot I told Mj all about my drinking problem.
"Just let her have fun tonight! I'll do it with her!" Erica yelled and Mj shook her head while being pulled away again by different strippers this time.
"That's on y'all!" She yelled before following them back to the back.
"Fuck it let's go!" I yelled and Erica and I began taking shot after shot after shot. We did it over and over again and I had over $6K in my pocket. Don't forget we all drug dealers so we got money to just waste on dumb shit.
Soon enough, I got dizzy as hell and fell backwards out the bar stool. My eyes were open and I laughed at myself while Erica pointed at me and did the same.
-
My phone rang constantly. I've ignored it and put the pillow over my face constantly. Shit I even reached over and banged on my phone, but the shit wouldn't stop and it's disturbing my sleep. I've only been home for like two hours, and I'm tired as hell. My head is banging and my throat is dry too. Damn, how the hell did I even get home?
Erica and them were trying to get me to go to a damn afterparty but shit I took my ass home. I remember that. I haven't slept like I should be, and I need to start catching up on it.
I finally groaned and rolled over, looking at the time. 3 in the damn morning. And 5 missed calls from Jaie.
What the hell?
I quickly called her back, turning on the lamp that's on the nightstand. She never calls at this time so I'm lowkey worried.
My eyes burned and I felt like a damn bat in the light. I put my hand over my eyes while holding the phone to my ear with my other hand.
"Hello?"
She sounded like she was crying.
"Hey babygirl, wassup? Everything good?"
It was quiet for a moment, then I heard her begin to cry again. I sighed and ran my hand over my face.
"You want me to come over?" I asked, and she made a small 'mhm' sound.
"Aight, I'll be over soon mama."
I hung up and quickly got up slipping on some basketball shorts and a white T. I slid on my slides and grabbed my phone and keys, then walked out of the house quickly.
Once again, my dumb ass is running a mile for this girl. No matter how tired I am, how much stress I'm holding, how sad I am, and how much I dread it sometimes.. I always do any and everything for her.
Once I finally pulled up to the house, she was already standing on the front porch waiting for me. I got out the car and locked it, then began walking closer to her. She ran closer to me and threw herself in my arms. I closed my eyes while holding her close to me, holding her in my warm embrace. She's so cute man..
"Come on babygirl." I lowly said as I reached down and picked her up. She wrapped her arms and legs around me, and I walked up to the door then opened it and walked inside; kicking the door closed with my foot.
I tried to be quiet, because I know Armani and Kyla are probably both asleep. I walked up the stairs slowly and walked into Jaie's room. I spotted Armani asleep in her crib, her soft tiny snores filling the room.
Jaie isn't crying, but she's holding onto me tightly.
I lied on the bed with her on top of me and rubbed her back slowly. She wasn't speaking and neither was I. But it did feel good to just hold her and know that I'm able to be here for her.
After about thirty minutes Jaie reached over and picked up her phone, looking at all of the messages that 'ole girl had blown her phone up with.
"I'm done with her. That's it. All I need is my baby Chris and I'm good."
I mentally sighed and felt a bit hurt. Damn, is Chris here comforting you at almost four in the morning or am I? If she wants Chris so damn bad then why didn't she just call her?
"T-That's good." I stuttered a bit. I then lowly cleared my throat and closed my eyes bracing myself for the lies that were about to spill from my mouth.
"Just go with Chris, shit cuff her. You deserve a love like what she has to offer and I see that you really do like her. Y'all are gonna be happy as hell."
Jaie nodded and said a whole, "I am."
I stayed silent and just kept my eyes closed, trying to get away all of the thoughts that were beginning to fill my mind. Damn Jaie.
"I love you, Ari." She whispered as she turned her head to look at me. I opened my eyes and half smiled while chuckling softly.
"I love you more, Jaie."
"I appreciate you so much. You know, like you're always here for me and you've always stayed around. What would I do without you?" She sighed, and I shrugged in a way.
Jaie got quiet for a second, then out of nowhere I felt her lips against mine. My eyes shot open and I instantly gave into the kiss, moving my lips in the same sync that hers were moving in.
I felt her smile against my lip as she bit on my bottom lip and began to suck on it making me moan soft as ever. She soon enough slid her tongue into my mouth and we began battling for dominance with our tongues for a while before I had ended up sucking on hers. She wiggled her tongue around my mouth and chuckled lowly before pulling away. I licked my lips slowly and looked at her. It's dark though, so she didn't know I was looking at her.
She soon lied her head on my chest and giggled softly before whispering a, "Goodnight baby." Then her soft snores joined Armani's and filled my ears.
I slowly opened my eyes and reached over for my phone that was resting on the nightstand next to the bed. I pressed the home button and the time popped up. 7:54 in the morning. I yawned and placed it back down, then lifted Jaie off of me and lied her on the bed next to me. I leant down and kissed her cheek softly. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled while looking up at me.
"Goodmorning baby." She said and I smiled.
"Goodmorning mama." I said while standing up, sliding on my slides and grabbing my phone and keys while stretching.
"I'm gonna go home and get cleaned up and shit. I'm gonna come get Armani later, Aight?" I asked and she nodded.
"Kiss?" She whispered and I stood there shocked for a moment. Well shit I thought last nights kiss was a one time thing.
I should just peck her lips because I don't want to go overboard.
I leant back down and placed my lips against hers softly, pecking hers before pulling away. She smiled and lied back down pulling the cover back over her.
"See you later." I said while walking out of the room with a big ass smile on my face.
-
"Ari let's go to the bowling alley!" Cam said while walking into my room. I jumped and looked over at her. When the hell did she come in the house?
"I have a key remember?" She laughed and I nodded. I forgot. Cam barely comes around anymore and I damn sure don't talk to her much.
Mostly because the only name that seems to come out of my mouth much is Jaie. And she doesn't like Jaie so what's the point in speaking to her like that then? Cam will just talk my head off about how I shouldn't be talking to her still and I'm most likely not going to listen and blah blah.
"Wassup?" I asked as I played on my phone. She shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed looking over at me.
"Where's Armani?"
"With Jaie."
"Well you should go get her and we should go bowling!"
"She's an infant, Cam."
"Well people bring their babies there all the time."
"No."
"Well.. Look we haven't done anything in forever because you're always doing something else. I just wanted to go somewhere with you. I feel like we don't even speak anymore. And maybe it is my fault, but I want to try and make it up."
I groaned and sat up, looking at her while shaking my head.
"No man you didn't do anything. It's not your fault, it's mine. I've been stressed and I never want to do shit anymore. I literally don't speak to anyone anymore so don't take the shit to heart. I'll go get Armani and we can go bowling okay?"
Cam stayed quiet and sighed while I grabbed my Jordan's and slipped them on.
"You coming?" I asked and cam nodded then stood up and followed me out of the room.
"I'll wait in the car. I don't want to see the bitch." Cam rolled her eyes as she looked away from me. We're in Kyla's driveway and as y'all know, Cam doesn't want to see Jaie.
Actually, Cam has never ever met her. She never wanted to, and Jaie never wanted to meet Cam because Jaie didn't want me having a best friend while she had one her damn self.
I got out of the car and walked up the walkway then rang the doorbell. Kyla opened it without even realizing and her eyes got wide.
"What?"
"N-Nothing. Um.." she looked around for a moment and I straight faced her. What the hell? I come over all the time.
"Something."
"Chris is here and I just didn't think Jaie would have you here at the same time." She muttered and I felt like I zoned out for a few seconds.
I looked past her and noticed that nobody else was in the living room. Chris must be upstairs with Jaie and Armani. Hell no. I don't want nobody around my kid. Call me hypocritical but fuck y'all.
I pushed past her and walked up the stairs, then busted into Jaie's room. Chris was laying on the bed with Armani laying on her and Jaie was cleaning the room. Jaie jumped and gasped, whispering my name as Chris looked at me.
"You know ion want nobody by my kid and you got this bitch laying with my kid!" I yelled at Jaie and she sighed standing in front of me once she seen me walking closer to the bed angrily.
"Ariel! Ariel! Stop! It's okay! She's just laying with her!" Jaie screamed as she weakly tried pushing me out of the room. Kyla had ran upstairs too and was pulling me from behind.
Why am I so mad? I don't even know. Maybe because I thought she and Chris were done once she kissed me. I don't know man I just thought she was coming back but apparently she's still fucking Chris.
Armani began screaming and crying and I finally gave up, letting them push and pull me out of the room. Once Jaie closed the door, I snatched my arm away from Kyla and screamed.
"Fuck off me man!"
Kyla told me to hush and Jaie stood in front of the door, looking at me while trying to speak calmly.
"Okay I know you're mad-"
"Damn right I'm mad mane!"
"Okay calm down! If you wanna take Armani you're going to have to calm down Ariel. I shouldn't have had Chris laying with her, and it won't happen again but you can't come yelling and calling my girlfriend a bitch and stuff. That's disrespectful."
I zoned out a bit once she said the word 'girlfriend' and leans against the wall, looking at her blankly.
"Girlfriend?" I said barely above a whisper and Kyla held up her hands in surrender and then walked out of the hall, going back downstairs.
My whole body felt numb and I felt beads of sweat forming on my forehead while tears built up in my eyes.
Jaie sighed and nodded while leaning against the door. "Yes Ari. My girlfriend."
"Oh.. Okay. Congrats." I put on a smile and nodded my head, then walked back downstairs and out of the house.
I looked over at the car and seen cam looking at me curiously. But, instead of walking to the car I began walking down the street, tears streaming down my face like a river.
"Ariel?" Cam called out as I continued walking down the street. My whole body feels hot and I feel like I can feel my heartbeat in my ears.
Jaie is always playing with my emotions. Why? What did I do to deserve it? Why doesn't she love me?
"Ariel! Come on what are you doing?!" Cam screamed from afar. I just continued walking, crying and thinking too. What do I do? I don't wanna see her with anyone. I don't wanna know she's with someone else. I don't wanna know that there's someone better than me, giving her love that I never did.
I finally came to the nearby neighborhood park and threw myself on the grass, covering my face as I sat there quietly. I'm no longer crying, but my heart hurts and my body feels weak.
I lied there for a while, then I heard a car door shut and my name being called. I took my hands from over my face and sat up dizzily. It was Cam.
"Ariel what the hell happend?" She asked as she dropped down to her knees, pulling me in for a hug. I blankly sat there, leaning against her with my arms at my sides. There was no expression on my face, no emotion in my heart, nothing. I feel empty right now.
"They're together." I said in a monotone.
"Who?"
"Jaie and the girl she loves." I said licking my lips while staring out into space. I looked completely zoned out, and I was. Nothin is running through my mind.
"I'm so sorry baby." Cam sighed as she continued to hold me. I shrugged and didn't say anything.
Oh well.
