Another Moment in the Hood

"Mommy." Cali whined into the phone.

"This ain't your mother and why you sound like that."

"Hi daddy but I want to speak to mom." Cali spoke sadly.

"What's wrong moo moo.- Give me my damn phone Harlem. Hey Cali."

"Mommy I'm sad." Cali said into the phone. Yea she was being a baby right now but she didn't care that's what she had parents for.

"Why?"

"Brandon and I broke up I guess, like last week. He haven't been staying here. He just comes for the kids and that's all. I don't know what happened." Cali said getting emotional.

"Why did y'all break up?"

"All I said was he was acting different and I didn't want to be with anyone who didn't want me. Then he said he's not forcing what isn't."

"Cali I know you not over there crying then you crying to me-."

"But I need someone to talk to." Cali said cutting her off.

"First of all, you don't let your life stop for a nigga. Give him some time which already happened and you get him back. Don't sit around and wait much longer for him to come to you that won't work out right I know first hand. Y'all need to sit down and have a talk."

"I guess." Cali mumbled looking down at her finger nails.

Trill had the twins for the day and Kylie was taking a nap in her room.

"Ain't no you guess. You know I'm right now I'll talk to you later I'm spending time with your father."

"Ard since you rushing me off the phone." Cali rolled her eyes.

"Don't rush my daughter off the phone, if she want to talk let her talk." Cali hear her father in the background. "Shut the fuck up Harlem. I love you, bye." She said then hung up.

She ain't no help.

Cali picked up her ringing phone seeing Brielle call.

"You a phony ass sister." Brielle said followed by a smack of her lips.

"Brielle baby, I'm sorry."

"No, I don't want to hear it. So why aren't you at Denise house for this lil cookout she giving the family."

"She's giving a cookout?" Cali asked surprised. "I didn't know."

"My ugly ass brother ain't tell you?" Brielle asked with a surprise tone.

"No, he didn't tell me." Cali walked into her closet finding an outfit to wear.

"I see his ass pulling up now with the twins. I'm about to get in his ass Cali." Brielle said making Cali laugh.

"I'll be there a hour tops."

"Ok, I'll see you when you get here."

Cali hung up the phone and began to get ready.

Cali walked up to the house holding Kylie's hand.

"Mommy I want to see Ken Ken."

"I'll call your father later and ask him about it."

Kylie let out a dramatic sigh as they stepped into the house.

"Cut the attitude out Kylie. What's wrong with you?" Cali asked her daughter.

"I'm still sleepy."

"Well you can be sleepy but that attitude has to go."

"Ok."

"Hey Brielle." Cali said getting her attention.
