"Oh, you sure Mama A didn't help you draw that" I ask Jasmine picking her up.
"No" she chuckles.
"Jasmine this is Layla,and Layla this Jasmine my daughter" I said looking over at Layla.
She smiles before cooing at her " hi Jasmine,that's a nice drawing"
"Thank you and you really pretty,can we be friends" Jasmine said looking at her.
This little girl really knows how to talk."I'd love to be your friend and you are the prettiest girl I've ever seen" Layla said.
"Thank yo-oh and can I call you layla" Jasmine cuts herself.
"You gatta say Aunt Layla Jas" I told her and she pouts.
"No you don't have to" Layla said looking at me "you can call me Layla or Whatever you want to".
"Cool, Daddy can I go show Layla my dolls" she said turning to look me.
"Yes baby girl If Layla's Okay with it" I said smiling at her.
"Laylay do u want to check out my dolls"she said looking at Layla with her doe eyes I already know this girl gon be a manipulator.
"Yeah sure I'd love to" Layla said walking while holding her hand going upstairs.
Putting some food on the plate I sit back down to eat before I go up to check up on the girls.
I'm really glad I saw Layla again. The girl was my best friend and the day I was taken away from here I ain't never forget about her.
——"Thank you for agreeing to be her friend" I said walking Layla back to TT's house I wasn't able to talk to her much,she and jasmine been playing and talking the whole time.
"No she's really fun to be around with,I'm glad I got to Meet her. Plus we might have pinky promised to be best friends" she said smiling.
"Oh word"
"Yeah, where's her mum if you don't mind me asking" she said quickly.
"She passed away giving birth to her" I told her.
"I'm so sorry- Na it's good, it's been 5 years now and she knows about her mum, I show her her pictures and everything so she knows" I cut her off.
"Well you've raised a good and a smart girl am sure she's proud of you" she said looking at me.
"Yeah I know"I said at we reached the door to TT's.
"It was really nice seeing you again KB" she said.

"Yeah you too Layla" he said.
After I thanked him for walking me home and exchanging numbers and hugging good bye. I open the door to find TT watching tv in the living room."Girl who's got you smiling like that?"she asked.
"No one Grandma, but I just meet Kendrick and his daughter Jasmine and she's the sweetest girl".
" I remember how you cried your eyes out and refused to eat when his mama took him away" she said patting the space near her on the couch.
"It was that bad huh"I rolled my eyes while sitting down beside her.
"Yeah it was, but that boy has been thought a lot already so I'm just glad y'all met again. Who knows y'all might just end up together" she said grinning at me.
"Grandma no cmon,he has a kid I mean that's not even an issue but I don't think we see each other romantically and we just meet today, it's been a decade and more since we last saw each other. That's insane" I said.
"It's never too soon honey but I'll stop talking now"she chuckled.
I should have know this was her and Mama A's plan, now I know why she suddenly left claiming to go see TT.
"You and Mama A always up to something"
"Baby we ain't done anything" she looked at me.
"Yeah right"laying my head on her laps,her hands go to my hair and I'm instantly calmed.
And that's how we stayed watching tv while talking and laughing until it was time for me to go home.
"Lemme know when you get home baby"TT said kissing me on the head.
"Bye grams and don't forget-to drink my medicines before I sleep I know child"she cuts me off with an eye roll.
"Okay grandma love you" chuckling I get in my car and wave her goodbye before I start the drive back home.
