Another Moment in the Hood

19

Cali was on her way to see Maurice. She needed to have a talk with him. Kylie was with her uncle for a couple of hours and Trill was out.

Cali knocked on Maurice door waiting for him to answer.

"What you doing here?" Maurice asked once he opened the door.

Cali walked into the house and folded her arms across her chest.

"How could you?" Cali asked looking at him.

"How could I what?" Maurice shut the door and looked at her.

"You shot at Trill. Really Maurice? Our daughter was there when it happened. She could've gotten hurt." Cali stressed.

"What?" Maurice asked hoping he didn't hear it right.

"Kylie was with him! Get over the shit Maurice. I am with him now, just deal with it. Worry about taking care of your two kids."

"You got my daughter out with that nigga!" Maurice yelled not hearing anything else she just said.

"Maurice just stop. Stop this petty drama or you won't be seeing Kylie. I'm not going to let her get hurt because of you."

"You not keeping my daughter away from me, that's dead." Cali was out of her mind if she thought she was going to do that.

"So stop! Just let it go please." Cali begged.

"Keep my daughter away from him and we won't have problems." Maurice shrugged.

"Are you serious? I'm not letting you hurt him."

"I won't hurt him if you stay away from him and keep my daughter away from him."

"We are going to have a child together."

"I'll be the new daddy."

"You fucking crazy." Cali pushed past him walking towards the door. Coming here was a mistake.

"Don't go crying when he end up dead, that was just a warning."

"What aren't you getting!" Cali yelled crying. "This isn't just about you and him. Kylie could've gotten hurt when you pulled that stunt. Get your fucking life together Maurice."

Maurice looked at Cali and he could see that she was really hurt but at the time he really didn't care.

"You not keeping my daughter away from me, I know that much. I'll be getting her this weekend."

Cali left feeling defeated. Everything she said to him just went in one ear and out the other. Cali got into the car and dialed Tony's number leaving the house.

"Hey sis." Tony greeted.

"Hey Tony, your brother need someone to talk to him. He's being really reckless. He's going after my other baby's father and doing so he could've got Kylie hurt. Tony I don't know what's wrong with him but I need it to stop." Cali ranted on.

"Damn what the fuck is wrong with him. I'll talk to him and try to convince him to let y'all be."

"Thank you Tony, I really appreciate it."

"No problem, how you been though."

"Horrible dealing with your brother but I'm happy towards the end of the day."

"He treating you good?"

"Yes, more than good."

"You should be happy and I know my brother just mad at himself that he couldn't make you happy."

"Maybe, it's just taking a toll on me. I don't want to be stressed for my baby but it's hard."

"Don't stress yourself out, we know what happened last time when he stressed you out."
