My Right Hand 2

August

"You gone do what?" "I need to get custody of Amaya." "Explain this." "Legally she's yours but biologically she's his. He wasn't around then so he never gave up his parental rights meaning if I don't step in he could gain custody of her. I've already spoke with a lawyer about this August." "So what does that mean?" "The only thing it may do is she might have to live with me and Ty for a few." "A few what?" "Months." "Alright." "Your okay with this?" "Yeah we gotta do what we gotta do right." After a few more minutes of talking we get off the phone.

I look over at Taylor who's knocked out. Man to say I didn't have trust issue now after all that shit from court that day is a damn lie. I catch myself looking over my damn shoulder every now and then. Niggas and bitches are crazy. Normally I'm not the type to make the new girl pay for the last girl mistakes. But shit until her ass take me to a legit psychologist and I see him say ain't shit wrong with her I'm skeptical as hell.

She real cool though and she's helped me with understanding some of this shit. I love the fact that she's knows shit I don't know. Her smartness is attractive as hell and her sex game is incredible too. I was nervous about this dating shit since Mackenzie's been gone but it's been great. I walk into the girls room and they're soundly sleeping.

I go down to my office. It's been a minute since I've been in here. I grab the Henny bottle and pour up. "August." I look up fast, "What's up?" "What you doing up?" "I woke you up?" I ask. She walks over to me. "Nah you didn't." "Mind if I join you?" "A shot?" "Well that too but I was talking about in the chair." I open my legs and slide further back in the chair. She sits down and leans back on me. "You can pour your self up a shot." "I will... So what are you doing up?"

"I just got done talking to Aleah about this court situation." "What's the deal with it?" "She's going to try and get Amaya." "Really?" "Yeah but it's for Amaya's own good." "What you mean for her own good? That can do damage." "It's only so KC can't get full custody of her." "Oh that's right. I forgot about him." "I didn't. He'd be dead forreal if I was up to me."

"You could kill someone?" "When it comes to protecting those I love I'll do anything." "If it costed you your life would you still do it?" "In a heartbeat." It gets quiet. "What you thinking?" I ask her. "I admire that about you yet hate it at the same time." I try to think on what she means by that but no logical conclusion comes to me. "Why you say that?" She turns around and straddles me. "Because you willing to whatever it takes to protect your loved ones but me personally it takes a vicious person to kill someone."

"You have to look at the motive of it." "But the act itself is cruel and unusual." "I agree but it is what it is Taylor." "Is that why Aleah did ten years for you?" "Yeah some like that but not really now." "Huh?" "The decreased was supposedly KC. "Well damn." "Exactly." "That love must run real deep." "I'm sure it does but she's happy with where she's at. It's more like a brotherly love now." "Do you look at her as a sister now?"

"Yeah kind of." She laughs, "Oh. Good because I wouldn't want to interfere with any of that." "Are you trying to be funny Taylor?" "That's exactly what I'm doing." "Pure comedy." I say sarcastically. She laughs, "Whatever." "What yo coworkers think bout you messing with a nigga like me?" She sucks her teeth, "Who cares what they think. They ain't signing no paychecks." "Fucking around with the parent." "You a hardworking parent and I fuck with that shit." "Oh you do?" "Uhm mhm." "Show me how much..."

The next morning.... I'll be happy when this shit is over name. I'm ready to go eat lunch or something, I should've had breakfast this morning. I shift around in the seat. "Alright I think I've reached a decision." The judge says. Finally damn. "Since Mr. Kent was not able to sign off his parental rights the court think it's in the best interest of the child to be placed-"

"Your honor I am Alex Milage and in my hand I have a court junction halting the process of this court  precedenings on behalf of the mother of Amaya. Damn Aleah is doing this shit this early. "We feel that the child belongs with her mother permanently." This isn't the shit we discussed!
