"Happy birthday baby." We woke up Kamira for her birthday. "Shitttt it's my birthday." I checked my phone and it said 10:26. "Aye lil girl stop cussing, you don't even say it right." Kentrell said. I held her cake with the candles in front of her so she could blow them out.
"Thank you for gifts." Kamira said. I looked at the case behind Kentrell and looked back at him. "Why you get this big ass case." I laughed. "Because I wanted to. Now open it." I sighed and opened the case. My jaw dropped.
"Kentrell I can't take this much money from you. I just can't." Why would he have this much money. "Why not? It's a gift for you why deny it?" I would understand if he was leaving or sum."I'm going out of town tomorrow." Kentrell said.
"Where you headed to?" "California. I'll be back in some months." "Nigga some months. Why the fuck you gotta go to California for some months?"
~|Kentrell|~
I can't tell her I'm going to California to check up on my baby momma. "Hello?" She waved her hand in my face "Don't lie to me Kentrell. Why are you going to be gon for so long?" I can't bring myself to look her in her eyes. Ion wanna hurt her again like I did the last time.
"I'm just going on a business trip. I promise I'll be back before you know it." "Kentrell." She said as she walked to the bathroom. "You're lying. You can't even look me in my eyes." I watched her as she pulled out her toothbrush.
"Baby I'm not lying ion got no other reason to leave you for that long." This girl done turned me soft. I can't even lie straight no more. "Ok Kentrell. But let me find out that you cheating on me and only went to California to see another bitch and it's over done fuckin deal." Shit. Her and her overthinking.
"Baby ain't nobody finna cheat on you. You know I wouldn't even think of it." "Ion know Kentrell you did some things in the past that I just can't get over."
~|The next day|~
"Make sure you call me everyday. I'm not playing with you Kentrell." I said as he was getting ready to board the plane. "I will." I held up my pinky and he held up his. Then he hung up.
I know he not going to California for no damn business. That shit don't even sound right. I brushed it off and got up out my bed. Me and my baby was gon turn up today. We couldn't do anything yesterday because it was raining.
But today we gon invite her friend Cekirra to come with us to this jumping place that she always been wanting to go too. We get there and got our stuff on and ready.
"Uncle boomer can you jump with me?" Kamira said "Girl hell yea." Boomer said "Hell yea." Kamira said "Hell no, see you got my baby out here cussing and shit." I said
They went to go jump and I was jumping too until I heard my kid crying. "Mommy." She came running to me with her little legs. "Yes daughter what they do to you." Her lip quivered and the tears came rushing down.
"Aww mamas baby." I held her as boomer and kd came towards me laughing. "Fuck y'all do to my kid?"
"She a damn crybaby." Boomer said "Right all we did was throw some dodge balls at her and her ass got mad because she was getting hit."
"How would y'all feel if y'all was this little and could defend yall selfs?" I know they see how little her legs are my baby is petite."Mommy I wanna go home my stomach hurt."
"Ok baby we finna go in a minute." I texted everybody's to come to the tables so I can thank them for coming and we appreciate them. We got in the car and Kamira wouldn't stop crying. I don't know what's wrong with her.
"Baby baby what's wrong?" She screamed. I felt her forehead and she was a bit warm. I turned the heat down in the house and opened up some windows. But she wouldn't stop crying.
"Mommy I want daddy, when is he coming back?"
"In a couple months I hope." He's only been gone for a day. I need to call him so she can talk to him. I called Kentrell and he didn't answer so I left him a voicemail. Whatever he's doing right now better me outta this world important.
"Kentrell when you hear this call me back your daughter misses you bad and I think she's coming down with something, Kamira you wanna say some?"
"I love you daddy." Then I stopped the voicemail. I wonder if Kamira is sick what could she have contracted. Because we didn't go nowhere, she could just be sick because of the season change.
"Pumpkin." "Yes mama." "Are you hot baby." "Very much mama." "You finna take a cold bath then you taking a nap." I went upstairs to run her a cold bath.
~|2 weeks later|~
"Put my daughter on the phone." I ran downstairs to give her the phone. "Daddy I miss you." Kamira said.
"Baby it's only been 2 weeks since I've seen you." I heard Kamira start crying again.
"Baby why you crying you know I don't like it when you cry." It broke my heart to hear her crying for her dad. I wanted to cry with her, ion even know what ima do without him in these months.
"Daddy I don't feel good, it's hot."She came down with a fever and it's starting to break just a lil bit. "You want me to come back? Would that make you feel better?" I watched as she nodded her head. "Ok baby I got you, go give the phone to mommy and hop in the tub."
She got up from the couch and gave me my phone.
"Thank you pumpkin, you gotta stop crying we don't like it when you cry baby." Kamira wiped her eyes and got in the tub. "Kentrell." I said "Yes baby?"
"You promise you coming back right?" I don't know how me and Kamira Finna make it through these months."I promise, ima text you everyday ima call to check up on my baby make sure she straight." For some reason I don't believe him but I just overthink a lot.
"Aye bae." "Huh" "Go in the next room real quick." "You gon be good in here by yourself for a minute." Kamira nodded. I got up and stood right outside the bathroom door.
"What u wanted to say Kentrell." I watched as he moved to a more private space, I could tell it was people around him.
"While I'm gone you better not give my pussy away, and trust me I find out everything." Why would he even think that I'm like him. I don't go around fucking everything I see. "I won't give it away promise." And with that he hung up.
Little did she know Kentrell was going to have somebody spy on her every single second of every single day updating him on what's happening and her every move.
