NAMIKO AMOR "mya how long you been at the mall my heart?" i asked the little girl. i hope my guts wasn't right.
"uh, i don't know since maybe 9?" she said back in a soft tone. i tapped my phone and checked the clock. it was 5:30.
"mya, you know how to read a clock?" ddot couldn't believe she would ever be serious about that, that meant her mother had left her for damn near 9 hours alone.
"don't be silly ddot, i learned that when i was in second grade, i'm in fourth now." she said smartly.
me and dot shot each other a look. "mya you ca' tell me which one ya house is?" dot was coming down a street of duplexes.
"my mama said nobody pull up at my house you gotta drop me off down the block." mya said.
"mya ima walk up there witchu." ddot said.
"i will too my heart." i added in.
she hesitated but eventually nodded and pointed to a brownstone. "it's this one."
ddot parked of the side of the road and we all got out walking up and into her side the door was unlocked. "sorry it's dirty in here, mama prolly sleepin'" she shrugged.
"darelll baby that's you." we heard an adult voice, dot looked at me and shivered hella over dramatic.
"mama my friends dropped me off."
"little girl what i told you bout addressing me that way. i just live with you, i am not your mother, mothers have to love their children." she spoke still from inside a room.
"nah dick she got me fucked up." i mumbled before marching back into the room. mya tried to grab my arm but i accidentally shook her off. this bitch was gone have to see me. i stood in the entrance to the junky ass room with my arms crossed.
"who the fuck you got roaming in my home, mya leigh." she spoke getting up. she tied her robe up looking a mess. she had bout 2 teeth missing. "i told ya little ass don't talk to strangers when darell dropped you off."
"i don't know what's up wit you but ion play bout kids, ya daughter been at the mall for 9 hours no money or nothing. sweet little girl only wanted a selfie wit my mans. now ion know what ya got going on but i'm not finna sit here and let you mistreat this baby." i tried to be as respectful as possible.
"look bitch i don't know you, if you one them cps dick suckers, take her already, i told y'all she is not my child. i do not care for her." she spat out. i wanted to swing right there and then but instead, "mya pack ya things."
"what things that little bitch can't have shit in my house matter fact take those clothes off mya leigh." i sat there appalled.
"mya you not takin' shit off, it's none of that." ddot spoke up.
"yes the fuck she is, i paid for that shit. it's mine." she started grabbing mya's shirt. i guess my survival instincts kicked in because i pushed the fuck out of her.
mya's mother stumbled back a bit then charged at me. bitch was too slow, "WEAVE HOE." i moved and punched her ass in her face.
"nah nami, shit not worth it. cmon mya we out say ya goodbyes you not coming back if it's the last thing i do." ddot said.
i could see mya crying but she walked towards the door anyways. ion know how ima explain how me and ddot showed up with a child.
