F.A.I.T.H

A Mowed Lawn

KiKi & Lamarcus

*Sounds of car door closing* "Alright girl, let me call you back I just pulled up, and if anybody ask I'm with you" KiKi said to Shay through the phone. "Alright chick, Shay replied as she hung up. KiKi had decided on meeting Lamarcus to discuss his whereabouts and what caused him to not be in Lyric's life. Lamarcus sat patiently as he watched KiKi get out her Bentley truck making her way into what use to be their favortie restuarant. "Hey welcome to Razzoos" said the host. "Hey, my party is already seated", KiKi replied. Lamarcus stood from the table sizing KiKi's full figure up and down. Her hips had formed perfectly with her small waist giving her a coke bottle shape. Now 6 months pregnant, with a barely noticeable belly, she walked swaying her body as if she was on the run-way. Being pregnant didn't stop anything. " Yeah, this nigga gone take all this shit in, he gone see what the fuck he been missing", she said to herself. "Damn Kiondria, you looking good as fuck ma!, pregnant and all ", said Lamarcus with a laugh. "Thanks Marc", KiKi said with no doubt in her mind she looked the fuck good. Lamarcus tried to go in for a hug but KiKi quickly dismissed it. Throughout the lunch date Lamarcus explained himsself and frequently apologized for ghosting her and Lyric. KiKi did not want to hear anything he had to say. It took her mother and Shay to convince her to even meet up with him. She made the decision on not telling Quan just yet because she knew he would go off. His mind was not ready to sit down like adults with Lamarcus, and quiet frankly,  in his eyes he was Lyric's only father. Lamarcus went on and on about times he missed and wanted to make up for, and why he needed time to get himself together. Constantly giving excuses to where eventually KiKi had stopped listening. "Ugh, I cant wait until P get back, I miss her so much". "Let me find out this nigga done kidnapped my friend" she went on and on having thoughts to herself", "Lord, if Quan find out I went out with Lamarcus without telling him" "Ugh I wish he would understand, I just don't understand what's been going... "KiKi? KIONDRIA!?" Lamarcus yelled. Bringing her back from trance. KiKi jumped looking at Lamarcus as if she had seen a ghost. "Hey look Marc, I'm sorry, but I have to pick Lyric up from my moms, can we do this another time?" she asked. "Wait we haven't even got to an solution yet, he quickly added. KiKi grabbed her purse and proceeded to get up from the table. Lamarcus grabbed her hand. "At least eat some food KiKi, they both looked at each other, knowingly, that whatever it was that needed to be handled was redundant. Lamarcus was going to do what Lamarcus wanted, and Lyric was well taken care of. KiKi snatched back and headed for the door. "FUCK!, Lamarcus yelled across the restaurant. KiKi unlocked the doors to her truck quickly getting in. She pulled off heading towards home. "I feel like I'm going to be sick", she said.

KiKi & Quan

"Hey, I didn't know you was home", KiKi said as she walked through the door. Quan had been sitting on the couch quietly. "Why is it so quiet in here, turn the t.v. on or something", she said. KiKi sat her keys and purse down on the welcome table. She walked over to  greet her husband with a hug and kiss.  However, Quan didn't sit to well with the gesture. "What's wrong now Da'Quan"? she asked. Quan looked at KiKi. "Where you coming from Kiondria?" Seeing the look on her face Quan just knew that she was going to lie. "LOOK! Don't even try that shit with me, I CAN TELL BY THAT STUPID ASS LOOK ON YOUR FACE THAT YOU ABOUT TO LIE!" he yelled. KiKi began to explain herself. "Quan it wasn't like that!, he just wanted to... "I don't give a fuck about none of that KiKi!" It's too much sneaky shit going on around this muthafucka", said Quan. "QUAN ! at the end of the day Lamarcus is Lyric's father, I have to be grown enough to sit down with him and come up with a way for us to co-parent". "I knew you wasn't going for that shit!, so I tried taking things into my own hands", she yelled back at him. "AND HOW TF DID THAT GO??! YOU GOT THIS NIGGA THINKING HE CAN JUST COME BACK IN AND DO WHAT?? TAKE CARE OF MY BABY? THE ONE I BEEN HELPING YOU RAISE? THE ONE HE LEFT AND DIDN'T GIVE TWO FUCKS ABOUT??". By this time Quan was up walking back and forth his adrenaline was rushing. He picked up a vase throwing it at the 75 inch tv on the wall. "LOOK YOU GOT ME FUCKED UP NOW NIGGA , YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OUT!", KIKI yelled. "Man  FUCK YOU!!! I DO TOO MUCH FOR YOUR UNGRATEFUL ASS! Quan yelled back. " YOU NOT EVEN GIVING ME TIME TO EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON!, YOU IN THIS BITCH ACTING AS IF I FUCKED THE DUDE!" KiKi screamed. Quan quickly rushed at her pinning her against the wall. "YO! I will BEAT YO ASS IN HERE KIONDRIA DON'T FUCKING TRY ME!", he yelled with sweat pouring down his face. "Get off me Quan you're hurting me!" KiKi said. Quan stared at her eyes filled with tears and then down at her growing belly. He eased up slowly backing up and turning her loose. "Maybe we should take a break Quan", KiKi said. "Fine!, said Quan, as he grabbed his keys and headed out the door. A text came in from Lamarcus "Hey, we need to get this resolved, I'm willing to take this in court, and if it comes to that I'm getting sole custody Kiondria". KiKi slid down the wall easing herself on the floor. She laid there crying for hours.
