August

"Auntie Misty!"

Getting out of the car, I watched as Destiny ran over to Misty with a big smile on her face.

"Hi my angel." Misty got down to her level.

"Wassup man." Jamal gave me a head nod.

"Wassup." I returned one.

"Misty, thanks again so much for this. I'm sorry it was last minute though."

"Its cool. I've missed her to be honest so I couldn't say no when you asked."

"Still, I appreciate it."

"Mhmm."

"Dest?"

"Yes daddy?"

"Remember what I told you."

"Best behavior."

"Very good. Now give me a hug."

During breakfast, dude called asking if she could watch Destiny because he had to work last minute.

"I'll meet up with y'all at the show tonight."

"No problem. All her things in here?" She asked as she took the bag. Taking the bag from her, Misty took her hand and got her settled in the back seat.

"She been good man?" He asked me.

"As good as she can be." I answered honestly. "Anyone been asking anything?"

"Nah."

"Cool. What about your baby momma?"

"She upstate. I got my daughter so I don't care too much and Destiny don't really ask about her."

"Oh."

"Yeah. It is what it is."

"I guess so. Anyway, we out."

"Yeah man."

Walking off, Misty said her goodbyes to him as I got into the car. Once she was in, we left.

"Dest what you want to do?" Misty asked.

"I don't know." She shrugged.

"Ya wanna go chuck e cheese?" I glanced at her in the mirror.

With her eyes dead set on me, she didn't answer nor had any emotion displayed on her face.

"Destiny?"

"Yes aunty Misty?"

"Aug asked you a question, what are you suppose to say?"

"Yes please." She looked back at me.

"You know." Misty spoke. "It hurts my feelings when you treat him like this. I love you and I love him too."

"What about my daddy? Do you love him?"

Glancing over at Misty, she looked at me. I honestly wanted to hear how she was going to answer this question.

"Well angel, of course I do. God said we must love everyone and your daddy is one of my best friends so yes I do love him."

"Okay." Destiny responded.

Turning back around, Misty looked at me with this nervous look.

"God said we must love everyone huh?"

"Don't start with me."

"You loving ya exs now?" I mumbled.

"You know what? I'm not even going to do this right now."
