*London Scott
I looked from the little girl to Tae trying to put the pieces to the puzzle together. I hope her and Chris didn't have a kid together...after he told me he didn't want Morgan. I shook my head looking for my ringing phone, why do I even care?
Nipsey's name popped up on my screen making a smile spread across my face.
"Hello?" I sat back in the big salon chair waiting on the lady to assist me.
"Hey? Where y'all at?" He asked
"Well I'm fine my day's going great, thanks for asking babe." I laughed lightly at his fail attempt to ask how I was.
"I'm sorry." He laughed
"How are you?" He asked
"I'm okay." I mumbled
"And why aren't you great?" He asked
"The vibe just seems....off." I admitted
"Where you at? What's wrong?" He asked a billion question, but it's just like him to do so. He'll Drop everything he's doing for us.
"I'm at the nail salon, and I just ran into a girl from high school that I couldn't stand." I kept my answer simple.
Nipsey know's about Chris and his absence in Morgan's life, but he doesn't know the full details and I rather it be that way.....I don't need him doing nothing stupid.
"Well you behave your self." He instructed
"Me?" I asked. I looked over at the girls to see them getting their nails done then at the woman now working on my feet. The girls seemed to be having a good time, and that's all I could ask for.
"Yes you! I don't need my kids mother and fiance in jail for dragging someone." He laughed making me gasp
"I would never...not while my children's with me!" I told him truthfully
Tae and her ugly friend took seats next to me being that they were the only ones opened.
"Yeah see woman behave your self. What y'all doing after this?" He asked
"Well Payton wants to go to the park, so park then I'll grab something to eat." I mapped out my next plans
"Alright. You know what time you'll be done?" He asked. Lord does this man have so many questions.
"Uh probably 8." I gave him a seasonable time
"Alright. Have fun give the girls kisses for me. Love you." He said deeply into the phone
"Okay will do. Love you too" I hung up placing my phone into my lap.
"Hi mommy!" Morgan waved across the room with her little brown curls bouncing all over her head
"Hi mommies baby?" I waved back
"You having fun P?" I asked
"Yes! I want everyday to be my birthday." She exclaimed
"I'm glad you're having fun baby." I smiled laying back closing my eyes. I have way too much on my plate right now and this woman rubbing my feet like I'm her leader is putting me to sleep.

I opened my eyes looking around the salon to see P and Morgan at a little princess table having a tea party. I checked the time on my phone, 6:30.
I looked down at my hands and feet to see them painted a pretty purple color.
"Stop running Mariah." I heard a deep voice say to a little cute Korean kid running
"London come have tea with us." Payton said
Walking over to them I sat at the little table.
"Would you like cookies too." P asked
"Yeah coowies?" Morgan tried repeating after her sister
"Yes I would love some." I smiled as P placed a cookie on a tea set plate
"Thank you darling." I said in my best English accent making the girls laugh
"Can I play?" The same kid that got scolded for running asked
The girls nodded their heads while the girl took a seat.
"I'm Mariah" she said
"I'm Payton and that's sister Morgan and my mommy" she pointed
"Hiiiiiii" Mariah waved cutely at us
"Hi." I smiled watching them enter act with each other
"What are you doing Mariah?" HE over to us
My whole 3 years with him flashed before my eyes. When I left L.A I thought I would never see him again..and here he is standing in front of me...talking to his daughter. Wow Chris my have things changed.
"London?" He asked
Ding ding we have a winner, but I'm not gonna play that woman. That bitter woman. I have way too much to be thankful for to be bitter.
"Hello Chris." I stood up pulling down my shorts
"Wow you look good, I haven't seen you in a while." He commented
I nodded my head not really caring about anything that spills out his mouth.
I started picking up P and Morgan's things to head out.
"You not gone speak?" He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice
"What would I need to say to you Chris?" I snapped at him
I picked up Morgan putting her shoes on watching him watch her closely
"London-" he was cut off
"Chris the kids are ready-" Tae cut her self off staring at Chris And myself
"London!" He repeated more firmly
"What!" I spat helping P up and put her shoes on
"Is this her?" He pointed at Morgan
"What the hell do you think?!" I gritted out
"London!" He clenched his jaw
" Stop calling my name Christopher, and tell yo girl to STOP looking at me like we got a problem!" I said sharply grabbing both the girls hands throwing 45 bucks on the counter of the salon leaving swiftly. I can't wrap my head around what just happened, I've spent 2 years trying to get Chris out of my head to run into him on just a normal day! I got the girls in the car resting my head on the steering wheel.
"You okay mommy?" Morgan asked from the back
"Yes." I lifted my head starting the car
My vibe is past killed.
