I was asleep, on my couch, I still didn't feel safe in my bed. When my little girl hit me in my head. "What?" I asked looking at her.
She looked sick. "Daddy." she coughed, and played down on me. "I don't feel good." she said.
I sat up, nodding, I rubbed her back hearing her cough and sniffle.
"Lay down and watch TV, I'll get you something to eat ok." I said, laying her down and putting on Spongebob on for her.
"Ok." she muttered, looking at TV.
As I went to do my Martha Stuart thing in the kitchen, by making her soup out the can. Its my specialty. Frowned when I heard her coughing and getting up to run to the bathroom.
I could hear her dry heave, and come back to lay on the couch.
As I finished the food. I stepped out to giver it to her. She sat up on the couch and thanked me.
As she ate her nose was running a little.
After a few hours of giving her cold and pain medicine, she was passed out on the couch.
She complained of having chills, and threw up 3 times. I was kinda scared. I pulled a cover over her and let her sleep.
I went to go make her something hot to eat. I kept the food on the stove, and kept it there with a top over it to keep it warm.
I got a phone call from my old friend, Jennea. "Long time no contact." I said into the phone while watching Aniyla from the kitchen.
"I know, nigga I was up in Washington with my pops. So glad yo ass didn't change your number. " she said. I smiled. I missed her, she went Mia on me while I was with Kaylen.
"So glad yo faggot ass called." I said, she bursted out into laughter.
"Can I ask you for a favor? " she asked. I hummed a yes into the phone. "Im outside your house with two bags of clothes on my shoulders, can I live with you?"
I blinked my eyes a few times sitting in silence. Why do people magical show up on my doorstep for shelter, a nigga need space.
But it was my only and my best friend. So I went to the door and opened it. "Come in!" I said to the short, curly haired female.
As she stepped in her smile dropped. "I forgot you had a kid with that bitch. She still round?" she asked. She always hated Kaylen, when I had told her what happened to my soon she went to go beat Kaylens ass.
"Nah, I didn't keep her rude ass around." I said, closing the door.
I went to go put my baby in her bed, and came back to Jennea sitting on the couch eating the chicken rice and vegetables I made.
I just sated at her. "First off, get yo feet off my damn coffee table, you can go back to yo daddy and do all that. Second who told yo hungry ass to make a plate of my food?" I asked.
She just laughed, and continued eating. She went to go change the channel from Sponge Bob so I snatched the remote from her. "I wanna watch this." I said.
She looked at me for a while before saying, "Rude nigga."
Really?
