4 months later. ♡
for the 4 months that the kids have been with taraji and fantasia. i've been using this time to go to therapy, work, build my funds, pursue my dream career, and work on myself for my kids. i didn't think i'd need a therapist because i thought i was fine until i sat there and actually listened to what she was telling me. im still healing from things i thought i had gotten over.
i also got cast in a movie called 'Ruined.' huge thanks to my good friend tamara for choosing me to be a part of this journey. ive always wanted to be an actress, so finally, being able to fulfill my dream is a huge step for me, and it'll benefit my kids and i financially in the long run.
i give taraji $1k every month from the money that i make from my job to add into amari's savings. im still working on getting the rest before the year closes out. the $16k she gave me months ago has only been used for bills, food, and things that mimi and mari need. i went and bought them some stuff before i went to atlanta, and it's been in the house sitting since.
coming from atlanta after filming for a month, my first stop was at home to shower and put on fresh clothes before i went to see my kids. its been 4 long, depressing, and eye-opening months, but i had to get better for myself in order to be a great mother for them in- im better than before. those months away were eye openers, and i dont ever plan on letting them close again.
i dialed tarajis' number. she answered on the sixth ring.
"hey, wassup?"
"hi, im back in town. do you wanna bring them to me- do i stop there or?"
"we'll come to you."
"okay, how long until?"
"uhhh... give me like an hour."
"alright, see you guys then."
"yeah."
i hung up and decided to make a run to the store. there were snacks and little things here, but we needed the real food.
in the midst of driving, i felt this wave of happiness come over me. i haven't been this happy in years. im more excited at the fact that im seeing my babies after 4 long months of only being able to talk on a facetime call.
♡♡♡...
i was indecisive about what to cook, so i just settled with cajun chicken and shrimp alfredo with garlic bread and some steamed vegetables since thats mimi's favorite.
there was a knock on the door, but not too long agai raji told me they were 10 minutes away. i knew she wasnt here that fast. i turned the stove on low and looked through the peephole, i sighed, looking at the sight of robert. i broke things off with him over 2 months ago through text- he texted me from fake numbers, called a numerous of times, emailed me, and even got his daughter to text my phone to unblock him. hes probably still in his feelings.
"what do you want, robert?" i yelled from the door.
"open the door, pandora." he demanded.
i opened it, but to where he couldn't see anything in the back, "what is it?"
"did you find another nigga or something?"
"no, and if i did that wouldnt be any of your concern, now would it?"
"dont test me, pandora."
"please leave, robert. i dont have time for this today, i just wanna spend quality time with my kids and be drama free."
"it smells good. can i join you guys? like old times."
"robert i-"
he pulled a gun from his coat, "i wasnt asking. you either say yes or i put this piece to use. your choice." why lord why.
