The next Day
Alaysha POV
"I rather not see you at all " i laughed to myself " if i wasnt for Michael missing you so much , i wouldve just said fuck it. " i clear my voice
" im sorry for what happend. " he grabs my hand , i pull away and lean against the door of the passenger side .
" Alaysha, come on dont be that way" he says nonchalantly
" JUST drive . focus on Michael . " i say with no emotion
For a few moments the car was quite. It was so uncomfortable, how quite it was.
"Do you miss me?"he questioned , soon as he asked we were right infront of my mom's house
" we're here. I'll go inside and get her so we can go out . " i say relieved
.......
" thank you daddy!!" Michael screamed running to his side of the car
He pick her and swung her around.
" thank you Saiyer." i kissed him on the cheek and put Michael on my back.
We waved bye another time and he pulled off.
" did you have fun with daddy today ?" i asked Michael as i walk inside the house and throw her onto the couch playfully
" yes! Yes ! Yes!" she giggled " did yoy mommy?!" she asked starting to jump on the couch
I nodded my head yes and picked her up
" my beautiful jumping monkey!"
As i started to swing Michael around , Yazir came in the house. I paused for a second and the cleared my throat. I put Michael down.
" umm Michael Joellé, can you go upstairs and play with Jordan and Jermaine?"
She nodded her head and darted upstairs , leaving us two alone .
"Alaysha . . . " he paused and looked at me " can we talk ?" he asks innocently
" what do you think i sent Michael upstairs for?" i say with an attitude and sit at tge island in the kitchen.
He sits from across me and grabs my hands . i flinch but looking at him i retyrn my hands into his , Nd he squeezes them tightly .
" i didnt mean what i said the other day " he says honestly
I put my head down and look at my feet .
" i dont talk to Kimar because of the money. He buys me nothing," i look up at him " i'm looking for a job . i dont need anyone's money. Im not a gold digger. "
I snatch my hands away from him.
" I know" he says shamefully
Theres a moment of silence, it angers me . i get up and try to go upstairs but he grabs my wrist and pulls me in and hugs me by my waist .
For a slight moment i let him hold me . for that slight moment i felt slightly protected. I slightly felt a feeling i haven't felt in awhile but, I end up pushing him off me .
"Dont touch me again. " i say scornfully.
I grab my purse off the couch and head out to my car .
I gotta get out of here.
I take out my phone and start calling Saiyer.
"Hello ?" i say when it sounds like he answered
"Hey you have reached Saiyer. I can't get to the phone at the moment-"
I hang up the phone and lean back in my seat. Tear flow down my face and i punch the steering wheel. I quickly wipe off my face ,when i see Yazir approaching my car from my review mirror.
He comes up to the passenger side . i unlock the car door . he opens it and helps me out the car. He pulled me in and hugged me. His embrace just started to make my eyes tear , soon as i knew it i was crying.
" i will take care of you and your family " he whispers in my ear
"Okay " i say exhaustedly , i sigh and a feeling a calmness come as over me but tears still come.
We just stand there in the parkinglot. I hear my phone ringing in the distance . its still in the car. I dont dear to answer. I let it be .
..............
" Chyna ?" i call softly as i eat my Ben and Jerry's icecream right next to her .
We're watching Netflix . The movie Blue is the Warmest Color .
"Yes" she asks turning to me with cheeks fully of ice cream
We both shriek with laughter , when we bith calm down i swallow my icecream, giving me a headache .
I hold onto my head and laugh " is that bot that was here the other day , your boyfriend?"
"No. Chemistry partner . "
"Do you want him to be ?."i looked at her seriously
She laughs .
" its ten , i got school tomorrow. Good night Mom , i love you." she kisses me on my cheek and goes upstairs
" love you too , i yell up after her. "
I turn off the tv and put the icecream back into the freezor . when i turn around i get startled by Jermaine.
"I cant sleep Aunty . " he says sleepily " i want mommy."
" i miss mommy too "i say , trying to.hold back tears
"Can you sleep woth ne tonight ?"
I pick.him up and pat him on his back, even though he's a big boy now, i dont care. I carry him up to his room and put him in bed then i climb in after him .
" can you sing to me tonight?" he asks quitely , almost as if scared to ask .
" of course "
I start to sing various of preschool ryhmes until i feel him fall asleep . then i let myself fall asleep.
