"Dad why are you mad,"Mel asked as I strapped him up in his seat.

"Im not mad Mel, "I said lying as I took my phone from him and got in the drivers seat.

I dialed Mama numba and put the phone on speaker as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"Hello,"Mama said as I looked back to see if a car was coming.

"Mel and I finna come ova,"I said pulling over.

I pulled up in the driveway of my Moms house ,Nicki's car was parked out front as I checked the time.The hell was she doing here so early when she had another hour and a half to go.

I rung the doorbell as Mel hit on the door.

"Stop ,"I said as he stepped back.

"When we get in you gonna eat your food,Ight."

He looked at me with those eyes,as I looked away.

"Not working this time Mel,"I said as he sighed.

"Lil Mel,"Mama said opening the door as Mel hugged her.

"Gwamma,"he said as I kissed her cheek.

She chuckled as she closed the door behind us.

"All this fast food,"she said as I sat the food down and layed Mel's food out on the table.

"Yeah uh is Nicki here?"

"Shes upstairs sleep,seems like she had a rough day."

"Alright,"I said giving Mama her bag.

"Mel eat cha food and I didn't know what ta getcha Ma."

She looked in the bag.

"You didnt get much,"she said sitting by Mel.

"Can Grandma eat witchu?"

Mel nodded as he chewed his food.

"Ill be upstairs,"I said leaving out the room.

When I made it upstairs , I heard Nicki on the phone arguing with someone.

"Come on David you gotta do better than that,"she said in almost a whisper.

Fuck she whisperin for ?

"Yeah whatever bye,"Nicki said as I let myself in .

She turned around as she gave a weak smile.

"August,"she said as I watched her.

"Why are you here ? Shouldnt yo ass be at work or sum."

"I got off early today since Chris had her meetings to handle."

I rolled my eyes.

"You need to find you one,"she said as I sighed loudly.

"Ion wanna talk about this Nicki."

"You never wanna talk about real shit."

I dropped my head as I sighed .

"What type of man lets his woman takes care of em ?"

"A damn good one,"I said.

"I have a...we have a child together August that requires us to provide for him."

"Step up to the plate", she said walking out the room ,as I layed back on the bed looking at the ceiling.
