The Way It Is (Way Too Deep Sequel)

Chapter 39⌛️

"Ticktock . Gunshot . Bullet !"

Omniscient

It has been 1 year since Akashaa gave birth to her baby girl Kaliyani. Akashaa was overcome with emotions. It was nice as fuck out today and she was grateful for that.

They were going to go up for her little girl. She wanted her to have the best day ever. Create a lot of memories so she'd have them to look back on.

Music blasted throughout the house as Akashaa, her mother and Tina decorated the house. Yani was out with her great grandparents as usual.

They've been up since 7 this morning putting shit together.

"Man did they set up the bouncy house yet?" Ryan asked.

He walked into the kitchen with gift bags. He looked annoyed and Akashaa prayed that his attitude would change before the party started.

"Nah not yet. Why?" She asked.

"So I can go jump in that bitch. Also Aiden mom on bullshit."

Akashaa turned around from fixing the balloons and just looked at him. She knew his babymother would do weird shit sometimes. She really wanted Aiden to attend Yani's party.

"Please don't tell me she's not trying to let you get him today." Akashaa's mom said.

"Exactly. I been told her about the party and she trying to do dumb shit. Talking 'bout she's trying to take him to some aquarium with her boyfriend. Any other day I would've been cool with it but she's trying to play with me."

"Do I have to say something to her?" Akashaa asked.

"No reason to. The next time I walk in your crib, Aiden gon' be by my side. I don't play like that." He said.

"That's all that matters."

Akashaa stepped outside and instantly started smiling. The sun was shining bright and she loved the way it felt against her skin.

Everything was set up nicely for the kids to play in. King had invited some of his folks which she was cool with cause she wanted Yani to run around with other kids.

Her dad was currently on the grill and her mother and Tina were finishing up cooking the rest of the food.

She was hoping that everybody left with to go plates so she wouldn't have to deal with all of the left overs. Shit, she was good with them taking pans home. She didn't care.

Walking back into the house she ran right into Bryan. She looked up at him and squinted her eyes.

He was looking down at his phone with an annoyed expression.

"I think everybody should just stay off of their phones today." She said.

He looked up at her and smiled.

"You probably right. I can't deal with the drama today." He said.

"Leave it alone for today. Whatever that hell it is. Have you heard from Jah?"
