" Layla your phone has been going off for the last 20 minutes."  My mom said while sitting on my looking at me curl my hair.

"Its lontrell's impatient self." I said picking up the phone answering it.

"Mayne where you at?" His voice said through the phone.

"Home. You gotta come to the house tho."

"Your folks and em over there?"

"Yeahhh."

"So why you want be to come over there?"

"Cause a real gentle man scoop his girl from her house durrrr."

"Am a motherfucking gangsta not no gentleman but amma pull up."

"Ok bae.see you soon."

Honestly,my dad is the reason why i want lontrell to come over here. He wants to patch things up with him and tonight is the start.

"He agreed."

"Kind of. I haven't told him dad wants to talk to him yet." I said chewing on my bottom lip.

"LAYLA."

"Ma lontrell is stubborn."

"And ya father is the same a keep it legit with him."

"Umm yall been married for 15 years sooo....."

She stood up rubbing her hands over her back. When she did that i saw something suspicious.

"Ma." I said walking closer to her  to see if i was imagining things. As i reached out to touch her stomach she backed up.

"YOU PREGNANT?"  I asked shocked as hell.

"you were not supposed to find out like this."

"Am disappointed. DAD GET IN HERE." I called out to him. These old ass people playing with my emotions.

"What?" Dad came in sitting on my bed.

"Remember when i was 9 and went to disney land. Yall made the promise to me that i will forever be an only child no matter what."

"But layla your a grown ass woman."

"I donot care am still baby. So w-"

I heard a honk letting me know lontrell was here.

"my boyfriend is here but people am DISGUSTED and am HURT."

"Babies don't have boyfriends." My dad mumbled.

"What?" I asked him

"Nothing." He said laughing.

As i walked down the stairs to out front. I saw lontrell leaning on his car dressed formal as hell. He was looking a little sexy to.

"Hey papa. You look sexy." I said from the walk way.

" you look gorgeous as hell."

"Come here." I motion him over to the yard.

As he came out to the door i pecked his lips. His cologne filled my nose.

"My dad wanna talk to you tho."

"Mayne."

"Please trell your doing this for me. " i pouted at him.

"Fuck allat lay."

"Prettyyyy please. I made up with your mama after she called me a hoe and tried to bully me."

"Mama never beat ya ass up and sent you to the hospital tho."
