Get Me Out The Hood (Urban Fiction)

~Chapter 6~

Flashback

*Tammy*

It was Chy'Anns 5th birthday, and boy did I go all out for my babygirl! Well, father Emanuel paid for just about everything, him being a Dentist with his own practice and all.

I met Emanuel 5 years ago at strip club I was secretly working at. I had just started my first year of college, and had a roommate who stripped for extra money on the side. It was not something I intended to do, but once I felt the grip of that fast money in my hands, I couldn't resist temptation.

I had to be working there for about 2 months before I met Emanuel. He was 5 years older than me and had already started his career in Dentistry. I guess he liked to spend his earnings at the strip clubs because that's where he swooped me up. Before I knew it, I was being spoiled by a grown man, dopped out of college, and pregnant before 21.

I didn't even tell my family about my new life. For all they knew, I was still in college. My plans were to get away from the hood, and I found someone who was able to take me away from it.

I did miss my sister Carol though. She had a 2 year Chace at the time, and was just finishing up medical school for nursing. She had no plans on leaving the hood. She would always say that her help would be needed way more in the neighborhood we grew up in, and that's where she would stay. But me, I wanted more.

And that's just what I got. I had the vacations, the cruises, the family outings, the shopping sprees. I got so comfortable with my new life. Right up until the time were I decided to test the waters by messing around on Emmanuel, with a guy I met at one of his co workers yacht parties.

Let's just say, the chemistry between us was real. The crowd was tight, the drinks were flowing, and before I knew it, I was in one of the bathrooms getting my back blown out by him.

Things only lead to us sneaking around on the low, having him over when Emmanuel wasn't around, him being around Chy'Ann. But I was still in love with Emmanuel. Or maybe it was his money. I don't know. I just knew I was in a stable place and didn't want to mess that up.

I had cut all ties with Ralph once I realized he wanted more than a sneak relationship. I thought he got the hint up until him unexpectedly showing up on Chy's 5th birthday. Me and Emmanuel were clearing up all of the decorations and presents when Ralph walks in with a huge teddy bear.

Chy'Anns reaction to seeing him was frantic. She ran over to her father and said the words "Daddy, I don't like that man, he touch me in bad place, daddy I'm scared." She started crying uncontrollably. You could immediately see the anger in Emmanuel.

"Yo who the fuck are you?" He walked up to Ralph with his fist balled. He then looked over at me.

"Oh, Tammy know who I am. Gone head tell him Tammy. Oh and lil mama, I thought you loved uncle Ralphy? You don't have to show off for your daddy."

Ralph looked over at me and said Tammy you know I would never touch baby girl right?

I was stuck. What did Chy'Ann mean he touched her? Whenever Ralph was around, Chy'Ann loved him. Never have I ever left her alone for him to touch her. How could she be saying this?
