"Cmon pootie dada almost here" I said to my 2 year old daughter who was still sleep.
As she sat up I seen tears in her eyes,
She always wanna do this ina morning when I'm finna leave."Stop crying pootie, mama gotta go to school" I said trying to calm her down.
Pootie was born autistic,so it was hard for her.. shit it was hard for me to cus she don't like to listen and she be doin stuff on her on time.
Pootie just nodded her head and played with her fingers.
As I stood up from her crib I heard a knock on the door.
"Cmon pootie" I say picking her up and her unicorn backpack and her diaper bag.
I walked out her room and into the livingroom,while pootie just looked around the house.
I sat pootie on the couch and opened the front door.
To my surprise it was some girl with,she looked older than me.
"Can I help you?" I asked looking her up and down and then outside.
"Uh yea.. I'm zaine's girlfriend he asked me to get his daughter"she said.
"Nah he gotta come get her he know this shit.." I say before chuckling.
"Well he said zuri will like me so.." she says.
"Mmhm" I say before going to pick up zuri off the couch and walking back to the door.
"Here.." I try to hand zuri to her but zuri clings onto me and starts shaking her head.
As she starts crying the girl looks around worried as zaine finally got out the car.
"Sorry.. I guess she don't like you" I say.
"Fuck you did to my baby?" Zaine says as he walked up to the door.
"I- I didint do nothing" the girl says trying to defend herself.
"Bye imani.. fuck out my face" he says dismissing her to the car.
She just walks to the car.
I went back into the house and sat pootie on the couch grabbing her backpack.
Zaine had walked in and closed the door behind him.
I kissed zuri as she stared at her feet and I strapped the backpack on her.
She started getting fussy when she seen the straps on her body.
"Calm down pootie" zaine said grabbing her hand.
Pootie liked to wonder around and stuff. She was also motion sick so she always needed to be strapped in her carseat.
"Zaine.. what I say bout bringing hoes around pootie.." I said turning to face him.
"She not a hoe though..that's my girl" he said putting his hands into his pocket.
2 week ago he had a lil latina girl with him,last week he had a older darkskin.
"Mm okay whatever.. watch my baby zaine" I said handing her to him.
"I was tryna talk to you real quick.." he said looking me up and down.
"Later.. I gotta get to school" I said while grabbing my keys and blue tote bag.
"Aight call me when you get outta class" he says kissing my cheek.
I hum and nod my head before we both walk out the house.
Pootie had already fell asleep in his arms and that imani girl had the window down mugging me.
Just to be messy I hugged zaine.
"Love you zuri.." I said before kissing her cheek and getting in my car as zaine walked back to his.
As I pulled off and started the drive to campus, I started calling my bestfriend lyric.
As the call connected I fixed my phone.
"Hey boo." She said smiling.
"Heyy.. I got sum shit to tell youu" I say before stopping at a red light.
"Tell me why some bitch at my door talm bout some "zaine told me to get his daughter" I said looking at the camera.
"Your joking.. don't zaine know that pootie don't fuck with everybody" she said.
"I would think he would know shit bout his own daughter.." I say pulling off resuming my drive.
"Damn what happend after?" She asked.
"So boom..I try to hand pootie to her to see what she would do and she started crying loud as fuck and grabbing me." I say.
"Bitch stop lying.." she says shaking her head.
"I swear to god.. then zaine wanna finally get out the car" I say.
After me and lyric got off the phone I had pulled up to campus and found an empty parking spot,then cut my car off and got out.
As I was walking it was a bunch of people out here and just standing around like damn move..
As I was trying to navigate through the crowded area, I bumped into someone.
"Damn my bad" I heard then recognized the voice I looked up.
"Move bitch" I said while shaking my head.
"Damn it's like that shordy..Thought we was bestfriends"he said while holding his chest near his heart.
"If we bestfriends why you can't answer the phone?" I said rolling my eyes at his dramatics.
"My fault.. I've been busy wit my mom's n shit" he said scratching his head.
"Oh how my mama doing?" I said smilling.
Cordell and his mom has been there for me since I was like 16 or sum and helped me through life basically.
"She doin aight I guess.. she actin like she don't got working legs all the time" he says.
"Mmhm that's what you help her for" I say while pulling out my phone checking the time.
