You

*Mari

Y'all we were fine for like 5 days and she was back to ignoring me, not talking to me and everything. At the house she says at least 5 words to me a day. I gave her the space she asked for. I gave her space but she got worse. I'm not understanding what's going on with her.

Her birthday is in 3 days. She hasn't told me what she want or what she wanted to do. Even tho I already planned out everything. I just want her to communicate with me.

Aaliyah, Naomi, and I are currently in the mall. I'm looking for gifts for Indigo. Even tho she's acting out, I still want to do nice stuff for her. I've already bought her 2 pair of shoes, 3 outfits, 2 jogging suits, and cologne. We were heading to a jewelry so I can get her a ring. I was going to get her the exact same promise ring she gave me. But the band will say I love you, Little one cuz the one she gave me say I love you, Papa. I told them how I wanted it. I was told to come back and get it tomar. We left out the jewelry place and I turned to look at Aaliyah and Naomi.

"What else y'all think I should get??" I asked looking at them

"I mean you've got a lot. You've got everything she'll like. Then don't forget you got the gang coming so that should be enough..." Aaliyah said

"Do a romantic set up at the house, she'll like that..." Naomi said looking at me

"See I knew I liked you..." I said making them laugh

We continued walking and when I looked up I seen Indigo and the Amanda bitch walking through the mall. I crossed over and walk to where they was.
"I thought you was at work..." I said looking at Indigo
She turned around with a surprised look on her face

"I got off early..." she said still looking shocked

"Okay so why you didn't tell me. You didn't know if I wanted to spend some time with you or wat..." I said looking at her

"When I got home you wasn't there..." she said

"Okay so you ain't have sense enough to call your pregnant girl to see if she was okay. You didn't know if I was at the hospital or nothing ..." I said still not taking my eyes off her

"I knew you wasn't in the hospital..." she said looking at me

"How??" I asked

"Because if you would've went to the hospital I would've been the first person they
called..." she said trying to be smart

"That's beside the point. You've been at work all day. I've called your phone and you haven't answered. You get off work and not call me to check up on me. Then I see you at the mall with this bitch..." I said clearly fucking upset

"Chill out..." Indigo said tryna grab me but I stepped away

"And I'm not a bitch. I have a name..." The bitch said

"Girl ain't nobody asked you shit. Indigo you fucked for this forreal..." Aaliyah said looking at her

I looked at her and shook my head.
"Have fun Indigo..." I said walking off

"Mari..." she said grabbing my arm

I snatched away from her and kept walking.
"Where to now??" I asked looking at Aaliyah and Naomi

"You okay..." Naomi asked

"I'm fine..." I said looking at her with a small smile

"I want some food..." Aaliyah said hugging me

"Yeah me too..." Naomi said

"Yeah, I'm hungry too..." I said as we went through the doors and walked out

As we walked out the door. I seen Indigo walking up to us. I kept walking until she grabbed me. I handed Aaliyah the keys so her and Naomi can get in to the car.

"What Indigo??" I asked looking at her

"What are you acting like this??" She asked looking down at me

"Really??" I asked looking at her like are you stupid
"Indigo this the same shit we were arguing about last week. I'm tired of explaining shit to you, for you to only do right for a couple days and it's back to the same shit. Then you out with this bitch, when you know how I feel about her. But do what you want to do. It's cool. See you later..." I said to her before walking off

"Mari..." she said walking in front of me
So I went around her
"MARII..." she yelled out for me but I kept walking

I got in the car, started the car and drove off. I drove down the street and stopped at a red light.

"Where y'all wanna eat??" I asked them

"I want some soul food..." Aaliyah said

"Oouuu yessss..." I said rubbing my stomach

"You know a good soul food place??" I asked looking in the mirror at Naomi

"Yes..." she said and she told us where to go
When we made it to the place. It wasn't packed which I liked. We parked and got out the car. We walked in and we were instantly seated. We sat down and started looking at the menu. Naomi was right, they got all the soul food.

Fried chicken, baked chicken, greens, yams, Mac & cheese, cornbread, roast w/ potatoes, red beans & rice, dressing, and a lotta more shit.

"Bruhh I want the whole menu..." I said rubbing my stomach

"Facts..." Aaliyah said nodding her head
Naomi was laughing at us, but we was dead serious.

"What??" I asked looking at her

"I see where Aaliyah get it from. Y'all love food..." Naomi said

"Hell yes. Like I always said I will definitely marry food if I could..." I said still looking at the menu

The waiter came and took our drink orders. It took them 5 minutes to bring out our drink. Then they started taking our food orders. I ordered Red beans & rice with Sausage, fried and baked chicken, cornbread and I got cheesecake for dessert. Aaliyah got cabbage greens, baked chicken, yams, Mac & cheese, cornbread, peach cobbler and ice cream. Naomi got Salisbury steak w/ gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, butter roll and red velvet cake. The aroma of food hit my nose and I had a food gasm. It took them like 35 minutes to bring out our food. We said grace and dived in the food. Y'all the food was sooo fucking good. By the time I was done eating I was too full to eat dessert. So I wrapped it up and took it home. We stayed there for like 20 more before we went home.

When we made it home Aaliyah and Naomi left again and I went in the house. Indigo was in the front room on her game. I went into the kitchen, put my cheesecake in the freezer and went upstairs. I went upstairs kicked my shoes off and propped my feet up cuz my feet was sore. They were red and they looked swollen. After like a hour of me resting my feet. I got up and ran me a hot bath. I put epsom salt, bubble bath and essential oil in the tub. I let the tub filled up, I cut the water off, then I stripped outta my clothes. I hopped in the tub and laid back. The hot water felt so good on my body. I guess it felt too good cuz all I remember is dozing off.
