Sloane

About three weeks passed since the baby was born. The funeral for Leila's parents was yesterday and she had seemed to be doing well. It was berry different having a daughter around especially one twice the age of Khalil.

"1255,1257,1259." I said pulling in the drive way for our new home. Pulling up I couldn't believe that Mr.Dryer had the connections to make this happen. Coming down the long drive way I saw Erica's car.

"Here we fucking go

"Here we fucking go." I said as I parked the car making sure not to block her in. Backing in the garage I hoped that Erin wasn't with we especially because Nate was in his way.

Getting out of the car I made sure to grab laptop. Working from home was the new normal because E wasn't ok with me spending time at the club and driving all the way home. We agreed that the weeknights were for family and since the weekends get crazy I would go in. It worked especially because Leila was in school. I took on the role of making sure she got to school and it turned in to our time.

Walking into the house, I made sure not to make my presence known. I wanted to make my way to the office with out causing a ruckus with her sisters.

"Have you talked to Deontay?" Erica asked.

"He was at the funeral." She replied.

"How is he? Like for real." I could hear Erica's lonely ass getting in to our business.

"He is ok. I guess. Still trying it which is weird because when I... same ole Tay." E spoke.

"And how is crazy ass Sloane? I saw Vaughn's baby mama the other day." It was common knowledge that Vaughn was on payroll at this point. They should be thanking me for taking the boy off the streets.

"He is fine. Better than ever honestly, I love that man. Even after the shit." E said back. I stood by just to see how the conversation would go.

"How long are you going to ignore the fact that he is crazy. He can put in a good show for everyone with that Super businessman bull shit but you should be able to see through all of that." Erica said causing me to shake my head.

"Crazy? Look watch your mouth."

"The boy was killing people when we were in high school. Did you forget? I hear he went to rehab the first time you were pregnant." She raised her voice.

"Erica if those boys wake up you are going to put them back to sleep. Sloane has been in some dark places and has had to do some dark shit. Who are you to sit in my house and talk about him like that? What's up?" E seemed to have gotten angry.

"Let's be real, I'm not proud of this but any one that I have been with has been in to some shady shit. You never did this with Tay and his ass cheated as much as he breathed. Why now?" She asked her as I stood in the cut listening to their conversation.
