AMINA, Don left me waiting at the trap for hours. I sat at the bottom of the steps outside as day became night. I finally seen his car pull up and I got up, walking to the car and getting inside.
" You ain't talking to me ? " Don asked, breaking the silence as he drove.
" There's nothing to be said " I replied, looking out of the window.
" Ya fuckin lip poked out like you got a problem, get that shit off ya chest " Don said.
" Like are you fucking serious ? You left me at the trap for hours " I huffed.
" I know and I apologize but I had to handle some business mina " he said.
" Fuck that " I said as i sat back in the seat.
" Fuck is you trippin for ? This shit ain't new to you. You know what it is already " he said.
" I don't care , I'm gettin' real tired of this shit " i said.
" Of what ? " he asked turning to me as he slowed down at the red light.
" The shit that you do , dealing drugs ? Get a real fucking job " I blurted out.
" Now you talkin' crazy " he said, laughing a bit.
" Everytime you hear the truth there you go saying I'm talking crazy, NO. get your shit together " I exclaimed.
" Get my shit together ? Who house you living in ? Who car you riding in ? Who buying you new shit everyday ? Who putting food in ya stomach and clothes on ya fucking back ? Im doing that shit. " He yelled.
" Oh you quiet now ? Shit crazy " he laughed.
" Im just saying. I want better for us. Im tired of you leaving me at the trap and we coming back home at 3am " I sighed.
" We barely spend any time together, You promised me better Don. " I added.
" I promised you better and you got better. I'm not stopping shit because you want me to. Your wants and needs are fulfilled. " He said.
" I could get a jo- none of that. A man takes care of his girl, his family. Ion wanna hear shit else bout a job " he said cutting me off.
I sat back quietly for the rest of the ride.
Once we got home, I took my clothes off and laid in bed, slowly falling asleep.

" What the fuck Don ? " I said irritated, rubbing my eyes.
" ight lay there and get left then. " he said shrugging and walking into the bathroom. I sat up a bit.
" Im fucking tired. " i said bluntly.
" Lay back down, ian forcing you to do shit. " he said.
" This is so dumb. We live so far from everybody. I can't even go see my friends and you won't let them come over. " I said.
" You already know why so don't start this shit " he said, walking back into the room.
" Never tell a nigga where you lay yo head at, Amina." he added on, pointing at me.
" I'm talking about friends " I said.
" No such thing as friends , you should look at everybody as your enemy. " he said.
" You piss me off. " i mumbled.
" now get your ass up and get ready. Im not coming back round here when you want me to. " he said slipping inside his fazos.
