Later That Week
Ayariah Chanel Jackson-Anthony
I still don't know if I'm pregnant because I lowkey don't want to find out. I haven't thrown up since. My period came on yesterday, but it's really light. It was almost 6 days late, but at least it came on. I have a doctor's appointment coming up, so I just might find out then.
Today is Nezhai's birthday. Semaj decided to do a birthday party for his 4th birthday. He invited Tory, but she hasn't shown up yet. Other than that, everything is great.
"Time fi kut di cake" Ms. Tiffany shouted.
I adjusted A'sair on my hip. I placed the candles on the cake and waited for Maj so he could bring Zhai. But I can't even see them.
"You seen Maj?"
"He outside talking to Tory" Kemiah mumbled.
"Hold him" I put A'sair in her arms.
Pushing through Maj's family members, I walked outside the building. The sound of Zhai crying made me run towards them.
"Because I can't" Tory cried.
"Then you wasting my time" Maj picked Zhai up.
Standing behind Maj, I wiped Zhai's face. He calmed down a little and reached for me.
"I'm trying okay? I want him to know me, but he don't even like me. How am I supposed to do anything when he won't even let me touch him?"
"Figure some shit out the fuck. You playing with my integrity and-" Maj started, but I cut him off.
"Intelligence bae"
"Intelligence and I'm not going for it. You keep talking bout you trying, but always canceling to see him for some random ass nigga" He stepped closer to her.
"It's not a random nigga. I've been trying to figure my life out and you don't even believe that I am" She pushed Maj.
"One, you don't need to push him. Two, he probably don't believe you because all you did was lie to him. I know you tryna get your shit together, but you fucking up right now by putting your hands on him while your child is out here. Then y'all sitting here arguing on his birthday. Both yall figure this shit out because I'm over it."
Seeing that they both were in shock and couldn't respond immediately, I grabbed Zhai and headed back inside. The shit between them is stupid at this point. Maj doesn't trust shit Tory says and I get it. But this is about a child they share so if his baby momma says she trying I feel like he should believe her until she proves otherwise.
I didn't have to defend Tory, but I know she's trying because she went from being a lazy hoe who didn't want to work to working at McDonald's. Apparently, she also works at a club as a bottle girl at night on top of that. So yeah, I can vouch for her and say she's really trying.
After getting back inside, everyone sang Happy Birthday to Zhai. Eventually, Maj comes back inside, but Tory is nowhere to be found.
"Yaya, I want more cake," Lyrix said, as she jumped up and down.
"Girl no, you been jumping off the walls all day"
"But uncle giving Bubba cake" She frowned.
"Who?" My eyebrow quirked up.
She pointed towards Maj and Vonta. Vonta's stupid ass is holding the cake and Maj is putting the icing on A'sair's lip. I'm lowkey surprised that Lyrix called Maj uncle since she be acting like she doesn't like him now.
