Flashback

Imani

"Imani come here please" I heard my mother yell from down stairs. Surprised she was even home I got up from my bed and walked down stairs into the living room. Looking at my mother waiting for her to tell me what she wanted.

"Imani this is Joe." My mother said looking at the man next to her.

Looking at him seeing him look my body up and down licking his lips made me uncomfortable. Turningback to look at her I raised my right eyebrow basically asking what that had to do with me.

"We just got married he your new daddy."

"What? That ain't my daddy my father died and I just met him. You just met him" I said confused.

"Girl don't question me I said what I said. And you're going to respect him like he's your father." She said yelling at me.

Rolling my eyes I turned to go back to my room.

"Smart ass little girl" I heard her say as I walked away.

Making it to my room I laid down on my bed staring at the ceiling. Averting my eyes towards my dresser where a picture of me and my daddy sat I couldn't help but miss him a lot.

My dad died last year due to a drive by. So it's really been just me and my egg donor. Well really just me since she's always chasing somebody dick around. Me and her relationship definitely isn't the best. But my father I was his little princess. I definitely was a daddy's girl and I lowkey think my mother was jealous of that. She would always complain when we would spend time together or he would buy me something.

Wiping the stray tear I had I got up to go take a shower so I could gts for school tomorrow.

6 years later
Finally making it home after school I headed upstairs towards my rooms. Walking in I see this lightskin girl with curly hair. She kinda resembled Jada Pickett but lighter.

"Um can I help you?" I asked Joe daughter Ashley setting my book bag on the hook by my door.

When my mom and Joe met he had two other girls named Meisha and kisha . We never got along but they stayed with their mom so I only had to deal with them occasionally.

"I'm can I help you?" She asked back with a mug.

"You in my room?" I asked mugging her back.

"No my dad and Ashley said I could have this room." She said. This must be joes daughter.

"ASHLEY" I yelled walking out my room. I never really called her mom because she never really acted like one.

"What do you want little girl?" She asked sitting on the couch with Joe."

"Why is your daughter my room saying it's hers?" I asked putting my hands on my hips looking at Joe

"And because they are coming to live with us and I said she can have your room cause that's the one she wanted " Ashley said not even looking at me

"And why can't she sleep in one of the guess rooms?" I countered

"Because Meisha is sleeping in one and he's using the other as a man cave."

"So where will I sleep." I asked rubbing the bridge of my nose.

"Oh we created a nice space for you." Joes said smiling.

They got up and I followed then to this closet my dad use to use to storage his stuff. It was like a walk in closet but not in any of the rooms.

"A fucking closet." I said to my self.
