PAIN IN ME | LEAF WARD

Location: Powerhouse Philly, Present day.
Mariah's POV •

"Ry" he said into the mic.

The crowd couldn't contain themselves. he was back. He somehow go out on good behavior or something but there was Khaleaf.

In that moment I felt a small surge of happiness, mostly because the father of my child was no longer incarcerated, then came the sadness. Sadness due to the fact that this has happened before, he gets out, changes for a few months, then it's back to square one. Then the anger hit.

I walked up to him and threw the mic in his face, snatched the flowers, threw them on the ground and walked off stage as the crowd scrambled and recorded.

Storming backstage, he followed me as everyone stared at us awkwardly.

"Ry" he said.

"No." I turned to look at him before pointing at him.

"No." I said once again.

Just then I look over and see my sister and my daughter watching us.

"You do not get to hurt us again" I said.

Mariah knew this day was inevitable, she would have to let khaleaf have a visit with his child.

She heard a knock at the door which made her roll her eyes. Irritated by his pure existence.

Why the fuck I had to get knocked up by this nigga?

She swung the door open and came face to face with khaleaf.

"What's up Ry?" He smiled.

"Shh you gon wake ha up nigga!" She gushed him.

He sucked his teeth walking in quietly over to the couch where Willow was fact asleep.

He gently lifted her and sat her across his lap caressing her head.

He's such a good daddy. Mariah though.

"Look just like ha mom, beautiful" he smiled looking up at her.

Mariah walked to her room to grab her phone and when she came back Willow was wide awake pulling on her dad's face.

"No mama you can't dog my nose. Ewwww" he said playing with the little girl.

Mariah laughed. "Are you taking her with you? I'm about to go out." She said.

He looked up confused. "Where you bouta go?" He asked.

Mariah tilted her head then replied.

"Out" with a straight face.

He laughed. "I know you not bouta go link wit dude from last night." He said making funny faces at the baby.

How did he know-

"What dude?" She asked.

"What dude? Malik Thomas. Boul that play for the Sixers Mariah. You not low" he laughed then continued,

"I know you ain't been havin niggas around my daughter while I been gone." He said seriously putting the baby down picking up the roku remote.
