Daddy? She's a cute kid, but he ain't her damn daddy. His ass is enjoying every second of this. He hasn't even noticed me staring a hole in his face, but Kiah did.
Kiah: My bad sis, I didn't think this out.
Zachary finally looked up at me with his dumb aloof confused face. He looked at Kiah for an understanding on why I'm cleary pissed off. He put the child down but she remained clung to his leg.
Zachary: What?
Fatima: What you mean what? Don't even worry about it. I'll be back.
Zachary: You just got home. Where are you going?
Fatima: Away, I'll be back.
Karter took this opportunity to start screaming to the top of his lungs and poop up his back. Zachary got upset when Kiah went to attend to him instead of me even though he didn't move himself to get him either.
Zachary: Why are you standing there like you don't hear him?
Fatima: Why are you sitting there coddling another man's child when yours need you?
Kiah: I got him yall, please don't start arguing. I shouldn't have brought her here, this is my fault. Sis go ahead and go, I got him.
Zachary: You know my arm fucked up.
I didn't even respond. I threw my keys in my bag and left. I drove straight to the outlet for some retail therapy, the hour drive alone felt so so good. Beyoncé and I jammed the entire way there. Once I parked I wasn't even pissed anymore. I didn't even care, maybe I just really needed a solo drive. I was cooling for 2.2 secs until I read my text messages. The first two was whatever my the third pissed me right back off. I wanted to ignore it but let's me honest. I'm not the ignore shit type, I match energy and pettiness 100% of the time. Anyway, let me humble this man real quick and go buy myself new pretty things.
Daddy😌
I hate when you communicate like a child, you be pissing off with this running out the door shit.
Daddy😌
What point did leaving him crying prove?
Daddy😌
I already told you about that leaving instead of talking shit. I'm tired of telling you the same shit. Get that shit off your chest, how can I be with someone I can't communicate with.
Wifey💦
We don't have to be together, I'll be okay either way.
Daddy😌
You're impossible to talk to sometimes.
Wifey🍑👰🏾
Then leave me alone, I left to clear my head and you taking it there.
Daddy😌
You want it, you got it.
Fuck him, now I'm going to the jewelry store too. He betta not have shit to say when he gets the bill. I deserve it, he can sit there with his kids. Asshole.
When I got back home Kiah and that kid was gone. Zachary was watching Mickeys play house with Karter. I went to grab Karter from him but he swatted me away. Cool with me. I went to put my items away including the shit I bought for him and Karter then went to get dinner on. Twenty minutes later when my boobs started leaking I went back to get him. This time he handed him over.
My baby was cussing me out because I was taking to long to feed him but I wanted him to have a quick bath so he would go to sleep. After he got milk wasted he was out. I sat an held him while he was sleeping, I'm so in love with this little boy. I looked to see his dad watching us.
Zachary: You in for the night?
Fatima: You being funny?
Zachary: Nah, I'm deadass.
Fatima: What do you want Zachary?
Zachary: First I want you to fix your fucking attitude.
Fatima: Stop talking to me crazy, actually just stop talking to me period.
Zachary knew it was only one way to get her to open up so he left out the room leaving her completely alone.
They ate dinner in silence. She cleaned the kitchen, he took his meds and showered. He also changed the baby one more time before climbing into bed. She was enjoying a bath until her alarm went off notifying her it was time to change Zacharys bandage. She snoozed it another 20 minutes before finally getting out.
He was acting like he wasn't waiting for her even though he was. Still saying nothing she did her night time routine then changed his bandage.
Zachary: Thank you.
Fatima: Goodnight Zachary.
I pulled the covers all the way up, turned my back to him and went to sleep. Maybe and hour later Zachary woke me up. I was sleeping good too, he startled the fuck out of me. He was literally shaking me awake.
I jumped out of my sleep to see what was wrong. He said nothing was wrong as he rolled himself on top of me. He was careful with his hurt arm while pinning me down with the other. He was looking through my soul until I started crying. I don't know why but the tears just dropped. He knows I'm vulnerable in middle of night when I'm too tired to put my guard up.
Zachary: You ready to talk to me now?
Fatima: Yes.
Zachary: I'm listening.
Fatima: I didn't like how you reacted to seeing that little girl and how you didn't correct her or tell Kiah to keep her friendship with your ex away from my home. I didn’t like that you accused me of running when I was preventing myself from saying mean things. You are always threatening to leave me and it's making me feel like I should start preparing myself emotionally for when you do.
Zachary: Do you really think I will leave you?
Fatima: I'm starting too.
Zachary: Ok, I hear you. I apologize for how I made you feel. It was just reaction and she's just a little girl. I am sure she knows I'm not her father and I can promise it won't happen again. Also, I spoke to Kiah after you left. More and most importantly I didn't threaten to leave you. That's how you perceived it but still I'm sorry. Forgive me?
Fatima: Yes, forgive me?
Zachary: For what?
Fatima: For that credit card bill coming your way.
Zachary: How much Tima? It doesn't even matter. Open your legs real quick. I wanna see something.
