Kandi & India's birthday.

Brody's P.O.V.:
Momma told me to come over. She wants to surprise India and Kandi early. I brought my gifts over.
Kandi walked In. " Happy birthday KK ". Me and momma shouted. India walked In. " Happy birthday Indie ". We shouted. I gave them there gifts they thanked me we hugged and left. I got to BM's moms. Elijah was in the play room. " Hey miss Daniels ". She greeted me then gave me Elijah's book bag. " Elijah come on ". (Elijah) " Hold on daddy ". She came running down. We left. " Elijah Auntie India and Kandi went to where we were born baby ". (Elijah) " Where is that daddy ? ". " Bermuda Islands ". (Elijah) " Daddy what are you ? ". " Elijah I'm Afro Bahamian, Puerto Rican, and Irish. That means your Afro Bahamian, Puerto Rican, Irish, Vietnamese, and Italian ". She ask weird questions and says weird things to be a 4 year old. " Where do you want to go baby girl ? ". (Elijah) " Daddy where is my momma though ? ". She totally avoided my question. " I don't know ". I honestly don't know where Trinity Is. We stopped talking when she cheated on me with some nigga and left me to take care of Elijah by myself. I didn't go looking for her though because I wasn't gonna use that for an excuse as to why I can't take care of the child I helped make. I don't need Trinity now. It does make me sad to have to tell her I don't know where her mother Is. knowing she might grow up to think her momma don't care about her. But I won't lie about something like that. She's pretty smart and will get the answer out of me sooner or later. " Elijah where do wanna go ? ". (Elijah) " Why don't you know daddy ? ".
" Your mommy Is not around. She doesn't talk to daddy lil ma ".
I decided I won't ask where she want to go anymore she just gonna override me with another question. We pull up to the mall. I got Elijah out and we went In DTLR. " Elijah you want these ". I showed her the pbj kd7s (Elijah) " Daddy I wanna see mommy ". I just got frustrated to myself. Now I have to find something to tell her. I sat down on the bench with her In my lap. " Elijah I really don't know where she Is. But you got me and anything you want to do with her you can do with me baby ". (Elijah) " Okay daddy ". We looked at some other shoes. I got her those kd's with the floral ones and some liberty 10s. We walked out heading to Gap. All of a sudden I heard boxes drop but I knew I had mine In my hand. I looked down and there was this beautiful Light skinned short girl with long pretty hair. She looked familiar but I don't know. I went over to help her. " Let me get those. I'll carry em ". She refused to let me carry her bags but I just have to. " What's your name ? ". (Female) " My name's Trinity ". " Trinity that's pretty. Well I'm Brody and this Is Elijah. Elijah say hey ". (Elijah) " Hey TT ". I thought about Elijah's mom. Nah that can't be her. There's plenty of other Trinity's. But she seems so familiar. (Elijah) " How old are you TT, Im 4 ". (Trinity) " Im 19 miss Elijah. You're so adorable ". (Elijah) " What are you ? ". " Elijah why honey ". (Trinity) " No, she's okay. Elijah I'm Italian and Vietnamese ". We made It to the parking lot. " Do you have a ride Trinity ?". (Trinity) " No but I have a ride coming ". " I'll take you home ". (Trinity) " No I'm good I'll wait ". " You're really stubborn aren't you ". (Trinity) " Okay okay I'll take you on your offer ". She smiled and It was the most beautiful thing. (Trinity) " Brody what are you looking at. Elijah get your daddy ". " Wait what, oh lets go ". I must've been in a daze. We got to my car. I buckled Elijah In. (Trinity) " Nice ride ". " Thanks ". The rest of the ride Elijah asked Trinity questions but one stuck out. (Elijah) " maybe you can be my new mommy huh ? ". " Elijah Trinity Is just a friend lil ma ". (Elijah) " why not daddy I want a new mommy ". A tear fell from Elijah's eyes. " Baby Im sorry I didn't mean that, you can get a new mommy you just have to wait ".
I got to Trinity's apartment. " You forgot something ". (Trinity) " what my bags are right here ". " You forgot to give me your number ". I smirked and she smiled. I got her number. (Trinity) " Bye and thanks again ". " No problem ". I headed back home.

Next day

" Elijah put on your shoes and tie them right girl ". I try to teach Elijah early. She already knows how to tie her shoe but she just likes to have it her way all the time. (Elijah) " Daddy you come do It. Daddy I can't ". I gave In and tied it for her. " Come here. Are you ready for grandma's today ". (Elijah) " No daddy I don't wanna go. Don't make me go. Please ". " You have to lil ma. Daddy's gotta work ". Im a very young CEO of 4different businesses and me and my team are trying to Incorporate a 5th business. That's why I need to be in the Office more the rest of this month, the next month, and maybe the month after that. I have smart strong people working under me so I do get a chance to lay back and chill with lil ma but that time is up for now. I packed Elijah's lunch and snacks. " Elijah qué quieres nuggets de pollo hoy ?". (Elijah) " Sí padre ". " Elijah qué tienes que ir al baño antes de ir". (Elijah) " No padre. Padre más rápido ". No lil ma ain't rushing me. I thought for sure she didn't want to go. " Elijah I thought you ain't wanna go ma ". (Elijah) " I changed my mind ".

I texted Trinity on my off time today. I asked her question and she responded with answers that seemed like I already knew. This shit is very suspicious.
