Outlawed.

-Chapter 6-

Jaheem's P.O.V

"You want some coco pebbles? When you start eating them?" I say to my daughter.

"Mommy buys them for me all the time daddy. Me and Uncle Damion eat them all the time together." She says and I clench my jaw.

"You and uncle who?" I say as I look at her. Damion was my best friend. He was my left hand, until I found him in my bed fucking my wife.

"Uncle Damion daddy, don't be silly." She says and giggles a little. I can't even be mad, my baby girl had the cutest lil laugh. She made my world so much brighter, she was the only good thing I got out of that fucked up marriage.

I fixed her a bowl of coco pebbles and myself some too and we sat there and ate them. Ian gone lie, the lil muhfuckas was hitting the spot.

"Daddy, can we check on the pretty lady from the ice cream shop?" She says and I look at her. She reads my mind, because I was going to call lil bit before I went to bed just to check on her.

That shit that nigga pulled was very fucked up and I'll be damned if I stood there and watched one of my students get hit. Like I said before, I hate nights that hit women. I knew he was a pussy when I pulled out that gun and he looked like he seen a fucking ghost. Ion care where we at, or who around, if I see a female getting abused physically or mentally, I'm onnat shit.

What I didn't like was why Zaina would lie to me. All my students know Ima safe space. They all know they can tell me anything. Granted, if it's severe ima have to take it to the board but they know they can tell me any thing that's on they mind or what's happening in they daily lives. I can't lie and say I don't understand though, because I do.

"Yea baby, we can call her. Matter fact, let's call her now. You gotta get in the bed in a couple of minutes." I say to her as I grab my phone off the counter. I call Zaina on FaceTime. She eventually answers, looking like she half sleep.

"Yes sir?" She says and Jayda grabs the phone.

"Hey!" Jayda says and a small smile comes across Zaina's face.

"Hey pretty girl. What you doing up so late?" She says.

"Eating coco pebbles with my daddy. What are you doing?" She says. One thing about my daughter, she can hold a damn good conversation for her age.

"Trying to go to sleep. Im so sleepy, you should be in the bed too pretty girl." She says to her and I look at her.

"Yep, she's right so go wash up and brush your teeth and I'll meet you in your room baby." I say to her and she nods.

"Okay daddy. Goodnight!" She says to Zaina and she smiles.

"Goodnight boo." Zaina says and I grab the phone from her and help her off of the stool.

"We was just calling to check on ya, make sure you was all settled in." I say to her.

"I am. Thank you, again. I'll be back at school Wednesday." She says and I nod. She was nodding off while she was talking to me.

"Ight. Go to sleep na, you damn near already there. Make sure them door locked too. Goodnight lil bit." I say.

"Goodnight, Mr. King. Thank you." She says and hangs up. I got up and washed out the bowls and I went to Jayda's room. I saw her in the bed watching tv.

"Time to say our prayers." I say to her and I turn the tv off and she gets out the bed. We get on our knees beside each other and hold hands.

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take. Amen." We said in unison and she hugs me. I hug her back and I kiss her forehead. She gets in the bed and I tuck her in and turn on her night light. I walk out the room and I go outside on my patio. I light up my blunt and turn on my speaker and play some music.

I needed this blunt, Ian gon lie. When I smoke, I be in a whole different universe. Quitting was gone be hard as fuck. All this was a vibe. Music, a blunt, knowing my child in there sleeping and tooken care of, I loved this shit.

After I got through smoking I knew it was time to hit the bed.

The Next Day...

"Daddy, Daddy, wake up!" I heard Jayda's voice and I felt jumping on the bed. I rolled over and rubbed my eyes and I grabbed her and hugged her. I kissed her forehead.

"Goodmorning lil mama. What you wanna do today?" I say to her as I got out the bed and started making it up.

"I wanna go to the arcade." She says and I nod. Guess we were going to the arcade today. I finished making up the bed and I sprayed it down.

"Time to brush them teeth." I say to her and we walk to the bathroom. We brush our teeth and wash our face and we got dressed. I already knew her lil ass wanted some coco pebbles so I went in the kitchen and fixed us some. I gave her the bowl and helped her on the stool. I sat beside her and we said grace and started eating.

"Daddy, why do you and mommy not live together?" She asks me and I look at her and raise my eyebrow.

"We just thought it was better to stay in different homes so you can have two rooms." I say. I had to think of sum shit straight off the dome. She be bringing up the craziest questions at the craziest times.

"Oh! That's a good idea. I like having two rooms." She says and I smile at her.

We finished eating and I sprayed myself with some cologne. I sprayed her with her like perfume and gave her this ugly ass purse her mama got her. She gets this bougie shit from her mama. This lil girl think the world revolves around her, but whole time, it do.

I grabbed my keys and we were getting ready to head out the door until I heard my phone ring. I see an unknown number and I hesitate but I answer it.

"Hello. You have a collect call from Britnee Stewart from the Women's Correctional Facility. Press 1 if you would like to accept." I hear the voice.

"What the fuck?" I say to myself.
