We made it in New York a couple hours ago. Not being with my bestfriend and sister sucks, but I'm trying to make the best of it. New York is so beautiful. It's everything that I imagined. The lights, the hustle and bustle. Everything is just....Wow!
I was expecting them to live in like some top notch hotel. But they live in a penthouse that gives me a magnificent view of the city. I'm sitting in a chair on the terrace leaning on the railing just admiring the view.
"Ahh!" My dad screamed behind me. While I jumped and almost fell over the railing.
"Daddy! Don't do that. That's not funny . I could have fell over, then what?" I said punching him in his arm.
"I would've just had Ty Ty come and clean up the mess. No big deal." .I looked at him with a straight face. While his ass over here laughing.
That shit ain't funny.
"I'm just kidding babygirl." He said wrapping his arm around my neck rocking us back and forth. "I love you very much. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."
See. Me and this man are trying to rebuild our relationship. Unlike my mother, I don't know where we stand.
"I love you daddy." I said looking up at him. He kissed me on my forehead, "I love you too princess."
We then sat there in silence looking upon the city that never sleeps until he broke it.
"Your mother is taking you to dinner tonight."
I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"But can you do me a favor?"
I nodded my head.
"Give her a chance? I need you to be on your best behavior. She just wants to make up for lost time."
"Well she wouldn't have to if she hadn't left in the first place." I said harshly.
"Well then why don't you at least let her explain why she left?"
I thought about it for a second.
"I guess so. I'll give it a try."
"Cerinaé go get dressed please." My mother said approaching my father and me.
"Okay. How should I dress?"
"Casual."
I nodded my head and made my way to my new room. I opened my suitcase and took out my military trousers, gray short sleeve shirt, and my timbs. I then placed my hair in a bun, grabbed my dark green bandana and wrapped it around my head. I put on some lipgloss and put some lotion on my face. I don't need these cameras catching me looking ashy.🙅
My phone began to ring as I was about to walk out the door. How could I forget about that?
R.O.D👭💖💉
I smiled and answered the phone.
"Hey wassup."
"Did you get there yet?"
"Yup.And it's beautiful. New York is litt." I said cheerfully.
She laughed, "So how's living the life as a Carter treating you?" she asked.
"I can't complain.Could be worse but I'm hanging in there."
"Well you haven't been seen going anywhere with them, so I'm guessing you guys haven't been anywhere yet."
"You might tonight. My mom is taking me out to dinner." I said annoyed.
"Awww." she gushed. I twisted my eyebrows.
