His Protector

Chapter 4

"I'll be back," I said grabbing my keys. Karter's daughter waved at me and a small smile crept onto my face as I waved back.

Ion' know what he got goin' on but his eyes earlier held so much that I myself can recognize. Regret, sadness, anger, and insecurity. Ian wanna see ole boy like that. He looked better nonchalant not givin' a fuck.

I pulled up to the same house from yesterday, and shorty was sittin' on the porch. "What's happening shawty," I ask putting my keys in my pocket.

She smiled up at me, smile sexy as fuck wit' ha cute ass dimples. "None really just sitting out here." She looked around and back at her painted white toes.

"Fuck?" She smiled and nodded. She wrapped her legs around my waist as I held her up opening the door.

Later

Shawty ass was knocked out. Melatonin dick you heard? I put on my clothes and hopped in my 2023 all blacked out Mercedes. I reached into the glove compartment lighting up a pre rolled blunt and heading back to Nia house.

I had to been gone for atleast 4 hours so I was expecting everybody to be sleep when I opened the front door. All these grown ass folks sleep in the living room, while the li' girl sat up still watching the TV fighting her sleep.

She smiled at me opening her eyes wider, "I was waiting for you! I not sleep so I wait for you to come! Zo sleep in teetee room and body slept in here!"

I smiled at the kid and walked up to her sitting beside her on the couch high as hell not gon' lie. She laid her head against me as we both sat on the couch watching paw patrol.

"You smell like mommy friend," she whispered before she closed her eyes and fell asleep on me. I was interested as hell into this shit befo' I picked the kid up and took her into the room ole' boy was sleeping in and laid her in the bed near him.

He looked peaceful in his sleep, his eyebrows relaxed, brown and pink juicy lips slightly parted, and a look of safety on his face. I put the cover over the 3 of them and laid on the mattress across the room.

I stared up at the ceiling fan in silence letting the repetitive motion put me to sleep.

The Next Morning

I woke up to baby shrills confusing me on where the fuck I'm at til I remember I'm at Nia crib. I wiped the crust out my eyes lookin' round for the source of noise and seen ole' boy arm covering the crying baby still asleep.

What type of winter soldier sleep he in if he can't hear that shit? I walked over to the other side of the room and grabbed the baby from under his arms.

Soon as the li boy got in my arms he immediately stopped crying. I walked into the kitchen to see baby girl on the island eating a fat ass bowl of cereal with Dre and Zo childish asses right by her. I kissed my teeth walkin to Nia.

She side eyed the li boy in my hands and opened the fridge to a bottle of milk and a warm bowl of oatmeal and handed it to me. "I got one morning class today I'll be back don't break shit, stay out my room, and make sure Kay straight." She yelled rushing out the door to her car.

I'm pose to feed this li nigga? I ran my hand against my face and sat on the couch to feed his big ass.

Not gon' lie Ian had no problem with li' dude. He wasn't messy he ain't cry no more for real. He was just chillin'. Baby girl, who I finally learned name was Trinity was still with Dre and Zo who asked ole dude can she go with them since he was still asleep.

His ass been sleep for a long ass time and been in there sweating. Hope dude straight.

I sat on the couch with li dude watching instagram reels when Monty and Dee walked in cheesing, "Look at you lookin' like a dad with yo' long face ass." Dee said dragging the syllables on every word.
