The bright light from my phone wakes me up, I turn to my side to cuddle with Lorenzo who is still fast asleep but yet again my phone goes off. I grabbed my phone from behind me. It was my dad texting me. I shot up to open my phone.
As I was reading the messages Lorenzo starts to mumble in his sleep and cuddle my waist. He always does that when I wake up first.
"Babe, get up," I said
He began to mumble
"Lorenzo! Wake up!" I said to him while shaking him.
"What! What," he says rubbing his eyes
"My dad asked if we could meet up and talk today," I said
"Well, are you going to?" He said rolling on his side
I get up from the bed grabbing my clothes.
"Get up Lorenzo," I said putting my jeans on
He puts the covers over him to ignore me.
"Okay fine Lorenzo stay here . Just know me and you won't be having sex for a while," I said putting on a shirt and shoes
This man is obsessed with me and my body so I said that to him. He jumped out of bed, put his clothes on so quickly and shoes, and grabbed his keys.
"Come on Bellissima, let's go." He said walking out his room door downstairs
I grabbed my bag and keys and walked out.

My dad told me to meet him at Branch. It's a restaurant we used to go to all the time when I was young. Those are the days I miss when it was just me and him-when he was happy.
Lorenzo parks his Truck in the front luckily my dad picked an outside table as he would always do when I was young. I haven't seen my dad in a while so I couldn't help to smile when he saw me, he doesn't know that I and Lorenzo are together.
"Hey, dad," I said, hugging him.
I always felt safe when my dad held me, he was supposed to be my warrior but after years my warrior had fallen slowly, We sat down and I caught him up on my and Lorenzo's relationship and to my surprise, he took it a while,
"So Kendi, I asked you to come here because I need to tell you something." He said looking down like he embarrassed
"Go on," I said
"You were my first baby girl, my princess, my everything. But over the years I got tired, so after the championship, I'm leaving." He said
When he looked me in my eyes and said that my life, all the memories I was rethinking went up in flames. I couldn't believe what my dad was saying. What about me? What about Imani? I know she isn't his biologically but he still raised her like she was. He is leaving everything he built, everything he worked so hard for...
"I'm thinking of moving to Florida, I just need a fresh new start." He continues
"What about Imani? She still needs her dad." I said
"She needs her real father." He said
I can't believe he would say that.
"I already packed all my stuff right now. I am in a hotel waiting until the championship is here. Yes, I will be coming back to practices but after...Kendra my princess I'm gone. I just want to be happy, your mom is happy so it's my turn to be happy." He said pleading for my acceptance
I want my dad to be happy, I want to see him smile again.
"Dad, if that's what you want...like you told me as a kid. 'Go for it.' " I said, smiling, holding my tears.
He thought everything was fine after that we ate our food while he told Lorenzo about embarrassing moments of me as a kid and all I did was space out thinking about my parents looking so happy as a child, Lorenzo could tell I wasn't happy so he made an excuse that I had an appointment-nail appointment. We said bye to my dad, I rushed to the truck opening the door.
"Drive," I said
Lorenzo gets in the car putting on his seat belt.
"Drive! Lorenzo just fucking drive it isn't that hard!" I said yelling at him
He holds my face
"Bellissima relax. It's okay." He said in a soft tone
The burning session in my throat built up, it hurt so bad it felt like somebody threw sand in my eyes. The burn in my heart, in my eyes, my throat...everything burned I cried. I cried out loud, I screamed, the tears came, and a lot of them. All the emotions that have been building over years finally came out. I wasn't just crying...Little out Kendra was crying she was dying inside of heartbreak. A father or Mother shouldn't break their kids' hearts but guess what they've been doing since I was born.
Lorenzo pulled me closer to the point I was in his lap in the car, crying into his shoulder. We sat there as I cried.
I wanted to be happy this isn't fair that they did this to me.
