"My middle name is stupid!"
"Why do you say that, Doll?" I asked my little four year old. Her cheeks were as red as her hair, same as mine. Her eyes were wide and matched her father's brown that seemed to sink you in. Currently they were lit a flame with such fury and passion that I had to laugh. I so wonder where she gets that from, not Shawn nor me.
"All the other girls in perskool have norma names like Anne and Marie and I have a boys name! A guy in my class name is Shawn and he picks his nose, mommy! His nose!!!!!!" This girl was so dramatic. My little actress.
"Well, its your dad's name, honey. I thought you'd want a tie to him."
"Where is daddy, mommy?"
"He's still on tour, Mika," I told her as I turned off her television.
We were doing just finewithout him. We didn't need him. Mika didn't need someone to take her to daddy daughter dances and joke with her and protect her from boys...
At least I kept telling myself that.
I kissed Mika on the cheek as I let her go to prek. We did our little sign where I booped her nose and she poked my dimpled cheeks. I smiled as she ran off into the playground where her teacher waited. Lulu waved when she saw me and I waved back.
Getting into my car, my phone rang. Answering, my best friend, Rayn's usually lovely voice was loud as it blared into my Bluetooth.
"I hate his guts!" Rayn yelled.
"Who this time?" I shook my head. It was always someone. Sometimes a thing.
"Your baby daddy."
I cringed when she called him that. It was true nonetheless but still.
"Why?" I asked her. This should be good.
"So, you know how I stayed in contact with Carter, right?"
"I'm losing interest. Get to the point."
"Carter gave Shawn my number because he wants to see you."
I stopped my car at the next fast food placeI saw. Subway.
"Zuri? You there?"
Rayn's voice was the only thing in my mind. Wants to see me.
What? The age in my face? The tired in my eyes? The smile i have from my daughter?
Before i knew it, tears were running down my face.
"I gave him your number. Mika needs a dad thats not me nor Luna. I didn't tell him about her yet, by the way."
I said goodbye and hung up on her. I yanked the earpeice out of my ear and threw it into the busy street. A Volvo rolled over it, and crushed it to pieces.
What was I going to do?
