SUMMER

•CHAPTER 8•

Friday
Selena's POV

Last night was something. I never expected Kass to show up at my house and I didn't expect him to just finger fuck me straight like that on my kitchen counter either.

I definitely wanted to do more, but I felt like everything happened the way it did for a reason. Besides, I need to figure out where did me and Lexi stood since she think I was trying to take her job and now her man. And I definitely wasn't trying to do either.

Not on purpose at least.

I tried calling her but she didn't answer. I rolled my eyes and began to get ready for my daily hygiene routine so I could head to the office, but I was startled by knocking on my front door. I sighed to myself, throwing on my robe and headed to the door.

I opened it to see an angry ass Matt holding Shiloh. I completely forgot to pick her up last night due to all the shit that went down.

"I need yo ass to stay away from that club Lena."
Matt said irritably barging into my home.

"What? Why?"
He must've heard about the shooting.

"Some East side nigga killed Darrin last night, you need to stay away far away from that shit. It coulda been you that got hit. Are you good at least?" He paid close attention to my body, making sure I didn't have anything wrong with me.

It was Kass that killed Darrin.

"Yes I'm ok. I was scared and I just wanted to get out of there."
I rolled my eyes and sat Shiloh down in her chair so I could feed her.

"I told yo ass to quit that damn stripping shit. You a mom, you don't need to be shakin' yo ass for no niggas no way. One minute you dancin' and the next yo ass could be gone fuckin' around with them East side niggas. They don't care who they hit." He snapped at me.

"You are not my father! You don't tell me what the fuck I can and can't do to make my money. I can't control where those niggas be! I can only control what I do and what my daughter does" I yelled at him.

I was so fucking tired of this man trying to run my life!

He deeply sighed and scratched his head, "You right Lena, a-and I'm sorry for puttin' you in the middle of my shit. I'm trynna get better at this coparentin' shit and be better for Shiloh you know that."

"I put Shiloh in daycare." I blurted.

He had the right to know.

"You what? What the fuck you just say Lena?" He asked stepping closer to me.

I know he wouldn't try nothing stupid with our daughter sitting right here.

"A friend of mine referred me to a church that has a daycare. Sevyn refuses to watch her anymore and—"

"And you couldn't talk to me about that before you made the decision? Am I not her fuckin' parent too?!" He stepped closer to me, getting in my personal space.

"I've tried to talk to you about this over and over but you won't listen! You too be busy out here in these streets and doing God knows what!"

He aggressively grabbed my face with his palm and held it tight, which was starting to hurt.

"You take her out of that shit and I mean it Selena."

Matt's eyes were dark and cold, that's when I knew he was serious.

"I need someone to watch her while I work Matt."
He grabbed my face tighter and I swear my teeth were shifting.

"I said take her out of that shit or ima find that daycare myself and you don't even wanna know what's gon happen if I do." He released my face and I shrieked in pain, holding my jaw.
