the way yall really thought i was about to unpublish this-
taraji h.
4 days later...
"i dont wanna go home with her." winter whined.
we had been to so many places after disney land because they would whine whenever i told them we were coming home. that was my week with them, so we had a lot of fun before they had to go back with toya.
"can we stay with you for the weekend?"
"not this weekend, winter. autumn..."
"momma, please no."
"you told me if i gave you two hundred dollars, you'd tell me what was wrong. is it that bad, or is it that you don't wanna talk to me about it?"
"i don't wanna talk to anyone about it. no one would care anyway."
"that 'no one' ain't got nothing to do with me because i care. im always willing to hear you and winter out. i don't care what im doing or where i am. if you two annoying ladybugs wanna talk to me, i'll stop what im doing to listen. don't put me in that "don't care" category."
"ok, i wont, but i dont wanna talk about it right now."
"when will you be ready?"
"i dont know. soon, i guess."
"well, when the time comes, call me, and ill be there."
"okay"
"i love you- i love both of yall knuckle heads."
"we love you more."
"if you love me, let me stay over."
"winter, no. this is yo mama week."
"no! mom is gonna make us stay with that man who's always so mean to us."
"winter shut up." autumn said.
"nah, let her talk. what do you mean winter?"
"mommy's boyfriend is a meanie."
"he put hands on y'all?"
"yes! mommy let's him pop me"
oh bitch.
"autumn"
"no, he doesn't put his hands on me."
autumn said, looking off to the side.
"you lying to me? winter, is she lying?"
"no, she's telling the truth."
"okay."
after making it to toya house i took their suitcases out of the trunk and walked them to the door. autumn had a key, so she just unlocked it.
"kids?!" i heard toya call out in a distance.
"hey mommy"
"hi toya"
"winter, i already told you to stop playing with me."
"sorry it slipped."
"yall two go upstairs right fast." i told them.
"my room is down here now because of my ankle."
"okay"
they hugged me, "love you, momma."
"i love yall so much more."
"boy, i said nine. the food isn't gonna be done until for a few more hours."
