"Babyyyy" I said while getting into TJ's car and he laughed.  "Yo why you so happy?" He asked and I shrugged, "suddenly I can't be happy?" I asked and TJ stayed quiet just smiling. "Where we ready go?"

"I gotta go to Jaylin's house" he said and I gave him a confused look. "It ain't even like that, we just talking"

"So it is like that?" I questioned while smiling, "Man just shut up" he said waving me off. "What I really wanna know is why you ain't tell me about you and Top?" he asked pulling off. "What did Kentrell tell you?"

"That y'all went to high school together" he said and I rolled my eyes. TJ's like my bestfriend so I can't lie to him. "Well that's part of the story, remember when I was telling you how Desire didn't know her father and how I had to raise her all alone?"

"Yeah"

"Well Kentrell is her father and I know you might be hella confused but trust me it's a long story and before this I hadn't talked to Kentrell since four years ago" I said and TJ stayed quiet while driving. "This is the part where you say something"

"Shit I don't even know what to say...Kentrell is Desire's father?" He asked and I nodded. "Kentrell and I use to live in Louisiana and I never got a chance to tell him I was pregnant because he had moved down here" I explained and TJ nodded.

"I need a drink" he sighed and I laughed. "I don't even want to look at another drink, work has been kicking my ass. I swear they don't pay me enough, I walked behind a bar half naked for hours serving drunk assholes drinks and my manger acts like I'm supposed to survive off tips" I complained.

"Find a new job" TJ suggested and I sighed. "Doing what?"

"Shit I don't know, I mean you and Top got a kid together and he pretty well known so become a public figure" TJ said and I shrugged pulling out my phone. "I mean that could work but I'm not gonna become famous over night. Plus Kentrell still isn't really on my good side and I'm not gonna use him to become 'famous'"

"It's not using and you can't keeping holding a grudge" TJ said and I waved him off while scrolling Instagram before seeing the shade room posted a picture of Kentrell holding Desire.

"NBA Youngboy seen with little girl, could this be his daughter? What do you guys think roomies?" I said out loud reading the caption ad I rolled my eyes. "I swear they never know when to shut up" TJ said shaking his head.

"I'm pretty sure Kentrell ain't want people knowing he had a daughter" I said turning off my phone. "I don't think Top was gonna keep you or her a secret. At some point y'all gonna have to tell everyone the truth" TJ said and I slightly nodded. "Ima text him" I said and TJ nodded before turning the radio up a little.

                                   Me : Have u seen the Shade Room post with u and Desire?

Kentrell : Yeah we should just tell everyone fr

                                   Me : Ok how you wanna do it?

Kentrell : Ima post a picture I took of Desire and I and post it on Instagram

                                    Me : Ok

Kentrell : U coming over later today?

                                    Me : Yeah after I pick up Desire

Kentrell : Ight bet

"What he say?" TJ asked pulling  into Jaylin's driveway, "He's gonna handle it, I'll wait here" I said and TJ nodded  before getting out the car and Kentrell started to facetime me.

"Hello?" 

"Yo have you thought about what I said?"

"What you said about what?" I asked giving him a confused look, "About- wait where you at?"

"Minding my business, continue"

"Mmcht, about moving in with me"  he said causing me to laugh, "What's so funny?"

"You" I said still laughing as Kentrell mean mugged me. "I get it ok?"

"Look no offense to you but I don't even like you, I tolerate you because we have a daughter" I said and Kentrell rolled his eyes. "You ain't use to feel that way" he said and I shrugged. "We're not in high school anymore Kentrell. We were kids back then and now we're adults"

"So now that we adults you just hate me?" He asked and I shook my head no, "Hate is a very strong word...I dislike you" I said smiling and Kentrell mean mugged me again. "Whatever" he mumbled before hanging up and a few minutes later TJ walked out the house with Jaylin.

I waved hi to her while she got in the backseat. "I thought it was just me and you" she said after TJ got in the car. "I told you I went to Kailani's house"  he said starting the car. "Yeah but I thought- never mind" she sighed putting on her seat belt.

"It's cool, just drop me off at home" I said to TJ, "I just picked you up though"

"Clearly y'all have more important things to do, plus I'm ready go pick up Kentrell" I said and TJ nodded.

A hour later I got to Kentrell's house and he walked out before getting in my car. "Fix your face" I said as he put on his seatbelt. "Kentrell I was kidding" I said and he mean mugged me. I swear this nigga keep a mug on his face. "Nah you wasn't but its cool" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"You're honestly getting on my nerves" I said rolling my eyes and pulling out the driveway. "I got a concert coming up. You and Desire coming"

"Are you asking or telling me?" I asked as he reclined the seat black while getting on his phone. "Telling, we finna go to Miami for it" he said and I rolled my eyes. "What about my job"

"You can miss a few days" he said waving me off and I stayed quiet. "Plus you ain't seen me perform ever"

"I don't listen to your music either" I smiled and Kentrell grew annoyed. "You haven't listened to at least one song?" He asked and I shook my head no. "Bruh that's fucked up"

"I was too busy tryna survive in the projects" I said and Kentrell looked back at his phone. "What day is the concert?"

"The twenty third" Kentrell said and I nodded. "Ok we'll go with you"

"For real?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah but don't get too excited" I said waving him off and he smiled.
