Caught Up (SERIES PT. 3)

Pt. 1

LANA's POV

"Yo I aint trying to hear this tonight alright? My day has been stressful enough, like why cant I come into a peaceful home, kick my feet up and relax?".

"Because Frankie, you always doing some stupid shit! You always think everything is ok. Why the fuck we gotta end up on the same situation for the third dam time! Explain that to me". Frankie sat down on the bed taking her clothes off and changing into something to sleep in. She continued doing what she had to do while I stood here looking stupid like I wasnt even talking in the first place. "So you just gone ignore me?".

"What? What you want me to say? That im cheating on you? I aint gone do that. I told you aint nothing happen and whatever you heard thats on you. Im not gone sit here and tell you shit thats a lie. We on this situation again because YOU keep bringing it up and your insecure as fuck". Im insecure? Did she just? Deep down on the inside I was on the floor laughing at that statement she just made. I am not an insecure female by a long shot. Now ladies if you were in my position, to question your girl for the third time about a situation that has happened previously are you wrong? I didnt think so. So for her to be acting like this aint sitting right with me.

"Know what dont worry about it". I threw my hands up and got in the bed. I was not gone waste my breath tonight. Just tired of fighting and I honestly dont wanna hear nothing come out her mouth. I put pandora on and listened to music while looking at snaps on snapchat. Frankie looked at me over her shoulder and left the room heading down stairs. If she thinks that ima run behind her kissing her ass? Apologizing? She with the wrong girl.

The next morning I woke Kayden up so he can get ready for school. He was starting the 8th grade today and it hit me that he is actually growing up on me. I was still upset about last night but I was not gone let that ruin my day to be honest. I told Kayden to wake up Innocence and get ready as well while i make them a quick breakfast. Me and Frankie adopted Innocence When she was 3 months old and she has been so special to us. I feel like I gave birth to her myself, its like I have a deeper connection with her, not seeing her as adopted and as our own. I went down stairs to make their breakfast and Frankie was already up in the kitchen fixing herself some cereal. It was straight silence, no good morning, no eye contact, just pretended like neither one of us was there. I wasnt going to speak because there really isnt anything to talk about.

"Good morning to you too". Frankie said to me sitting in the bar chairs. I remained quiet and started cooking breakfast. "Silent treatment huh? Ok cool thats the game you wanna play, fine". I called Kayden and Innocence down stairs so they can eat and finish getting ready for school. I didnt want to be late to work today and I have to stop by the store to get me something to shake all this bafoolery off of me.

"Morning Frankie". Kayden said coming in the kitchen.

"Wassup my dude. You ready for today?".

"I mean its like any other school day". Kayden said laughing. "I just hope that I got some cool laid back teachers".

"Trying to take the easy way out huh? Aint the way to go honey. If you wanna make it in life you gotta have hard people in your life to get you there". Kayden is the type to wanna breeze through everything and I dont like that. He feels like he doesnt have to work hard to make it through.

"But ma, im on the baseball team ima be getting scholarships and everything ima be ok". I just shook my head and gave them their breakfast. He gone learn one day believe that. I went upstairs to put on my clothes that I already had laid out. With hopes of getting through the day, thats a big stretch at this point.

"Hey Lana boss on line 3". I stopped what I was doing and got Mr. Perry on the line.

"Hi this Alana, whats going on?".

"Hey you got those spreads I was looking for?". Shit! I forgot about that. In my head im calming myself down but im really going crazy about it. This was one of the most important projects for the season and dealing with Frankie's foolishness I forgot about everything.

"Ok about that, see I dont have it as of right now. Can we set this back a few ... ".

"Wait. So you telling me a project I had you working on for a week now isnt done? We cannot push this back. We got 4 top sellers that are looking forward to this and your part isnt ready. Whats going on with you lately? Your not pulling your weight, giving me half jobs. Ima need you to pull it together if you wanna keep this job. Im giving you 3 days to get this done. Do NOT disappoint me".

"Yes sir". He hung up the phone and I finally released everything I was holding in. I needed to get back in the zone because I cannot loose this job because of whats going on in my personal life. And if my personal life is affecting my business life then thats a problem ima have to handle real quick before things get worse than this.
