Tori

"Here comes your child, he must want something. That's the only time he comes by" CJ said standing at the door.

"Come on pops let me in" CJ end up locking the screen door so Caleb couldn't come in.

"Let my baby in CJ stop playing" I tell him.

"How many times in have to tell you kid, you're adopted and since you grown now you a free man so why you over here"?

"Momma a little help here".

"Move CJ" I push him back and let Caleb come in, he look stress out.

"What's wrong with you"?

He just sat down with his head down not saying nothing, all he did was shake his head.

"Him and Mimi got into it" CJ said while taking a seat in the chair.

"How you figure that"? I ask him.

"Look at him baby, he's a light skin. You know they be all up in they feelings when it comes to they girlfriend".

I wave him off not really paying him no mind. "CJ tell me what's going on with you".

*******

"Well did you ask her why she was doing that? I'm pretty sure it's was for a reason, maybe she was making extra money".

"For what? I work and she work as well, but she don't need to be stripping to make a little change that's what I'm here for. I didn't even bother to argue with her I left".

"You did the right thing by leaving cause I know how your temper can get".

"Caleb bet not be fighting that girl" CJ say.

"No I would never put my hands on here".

"Oh ight, I taught you better than that. We don't be hitting no women or children....well unless they bothering you then that's call self defense".

"Bye CJ go do something with your life" I tell him, he can't never be serious for once.

"What I'm just trying to make my son cheer up, by the way come on son we gonna have us a man to man talk".

Caleb got up and went with CJ out front, I already know that whatever CJ is going to tell him is not gonna be serious.

Chaunti

It was a beautiful day to be outside, so I went to the park watching the little kids play on the playground. I coulda have that but I chose to be ignorant to abort my baby, if I could turn back the hands of time I would've change some things.

"Enjoying the air I see" August said sitting next to me with his baby in his hand.

"Hey, yeah why not its a nice day to be out" I say looking at his son. I wanted to ask how was his father so bad, I just wanna know how he been.

"Yeah I'm spending the day with my little man, you have any kids"? He ask me.

"No I wish" I smile weakly at him.

"Oh sorry if I said something that offend you".

"No it's fine, I made a bad choice that I wish I never made but things happen. By the way how is your dad"? I went on and ask, I couldn't resist.

"He's fine, if you don't mind me asking how do you know my dad. Wait hold up don't tell me you one of his old girlfriends".

"No just an old friend of his" I look down and my phone and noticed I needed to get going. "Tell him Chaunti said hi, I hate to cut this off short but I gotta get going nice seeing you again" and with that I got up from the bench and left.

Kay

"Listen here Kesean that's my daughter and I love her to death, I can't help that she's another version of me. I know she can be stubborn in her own ways, if you love her like you say you do then deal with it she'll come around eventually".

"I do I love her to death, she just have them spells when it comes to her attitude. I just leave her alone and give her space".

Kesean came over telling me about Lonnie and they little problem.

"Y'all gonna have problems everything is not going to be peachy, it can get rough at times. You think I have it good, if you grew up with me you'll be surprise of the things I went through".

After Kesean left my phone start ringing which was Lonnie.

"Yes child" I say into the phone.

"Momma you at home"?

"Yeah wha-".

"I'm right up the street, I need to vent" and with that she hung up. That girl of mines, already know its going to be about Kesean, I'm going to start charging twenty dollars for hearing about people problems.

AJ

I stop by to see my folks before heading home, "Is everything okay"? I ask my mom as she was playing with little AJ.

"Yeah I'm fine, what brings you by"?

"Nothing just want to see you before we head home, we went to the park enjoying the air. By the way some woman name Chaunti told me to tell pops hey, she said she's an old friend".

"Why all of a sudden his hoes popping back up" my mom say.

"Momma", I say with a shock expression on my face.

"What? It's ture, first Kesha if though that was his ex wife but still she was no good anyway now Chaunti, I bet not run into her".

"Really ma what you going to do"?

"Don't worry about all that, I just bet not see her".

I just shook my head. "Ashley came by the other day, you know she pull a knife out on Austin".

"Yeah he call and told me, I done told y'all about these girls you and him fool with. I told Kay y'all not gonna stress me out".

"You mean Austin and Nai, I don't give you a hard time".

"But you give me a hard time" my dad say coming in the house.

"That's because you my old man and we look alike" I tell him.

"Yeah yeah, what's up with you"? He ask as he sat next to mom and played with his grandson.

"Oh yeah Chaunti said hey and I already told AJ I bet not run into her" my mom say giving AJ to my dad.

"When did you see her"?

"Today at the park she said she was an old friend, I'm just delivering the message and momma over here being a little thug talking about she bet not run into the lady".

"Boy you just don't know your mom is a little gangster. Let me tell you what she did, after she had Aaliyah the next day she went and fought my ex when I told her hard headed ass not to nothing stupid. She was hard headed when I met her" I was cracking up once my dad told me about mom fighting.

"Don't be telling him that, AJ your mother was a sweet person. It would always be them messing with me".

Me and pops look at her like we don't believe that. After hanging with them me and AJ went home took our bath and chill for the rest of the day until Aniqua gets home from work, what a day we had.
