Am I wrong

How do you do it

Three more weeks and summer is calling my name lord knows I've worked hard and everything hasn't been easy. Steven started work early so he hasn't been able to visit as much as I would like him to.

Aliyah caught a cold from Mom and I had to stay home and take care of them both. Now they're doing better and I'm sick it's Sunday I'm swamped in work. Steven took off work for three days to keep Aliyah for me so I could catch up.

Everyday at school I swear Braxton be low key trying make me jealous. I don't have time for him so I just walked the other way when I see him coming. He'll stare at me until I give him the who the freak you looking at look. I swear I don't understand him at all. 

Zipping my jacket up all the way I put on my beanie then started to get Aliyah dressed. Steven knocked on the door before coming in,"Hey baby your getting her ready?" I zipped up Aliyah's Jacket she gurgled trying to clap her hands laughing. I kissed her nose,"Mommy's going to miss her baby girl." She just smiled kicking her little feet out.

Steven put his hands on my waist I turned around,"What are you doing?" He laughed,"You look beautiful today Chelle can I get a kiss?"

"No I'm going to be late move Steven"
He kept trying to kiss me I couldn't resist him so I caved in giving him a small kiss on the lips,"Now move I gotta go."

He held onto my hips," I love you."

"Love you more."

Grabbing Aliyah's car seat he carried her out to the car. Rolling down the window he smiled,"Why you so damn sexy in them jeans."

I rolled my eyes,"Boy! Take care of my baby."

He chuckled,"Honestly you look good today and have a good day at school I'll call you tonight."

I nodded watching as he backed out the driveway then down the road. Steven was doing night school while working throughout the day honestly I don't know how he does it. I need my eight hours of sleep and I barely get four with Aliyah. Checking my phone for the time I had ten minutes to get to school before the bell ring,"Ugh I'm going to be late." Rushing out the house i jumped in the car heading to school going the short way traffic was hell so I had to turn around and go the long way instead which made me even later. Sitting in traffic I checked my phone I was twenty minutes late to first period.

When I made it to the front office to check myself in I waved at Mrs. Becker behind the front desk,"What happened Michelle your never late", she said writing me a pass. "Steven came to get Aliyah this morning and traffic was a mess so i had to sit at a stop light for ten minutes then turn around just to take the long way to school." She just nodded handing me the slip I smiled thanking her then leaving to get to class.   

Opening the door to my surprise we had a substitute it was a man he was going over something on the board everyone stared at me as I made my way to my desk. I took out my work staring up at the board all of a sudden everything was starting to look blurry. Squinting I strained just to read what his name was. Did I need glasses I rubbed my eyes blinking a few times.

I raised my hand,"May I go to the nurse." The sub turned around or that's at least what I thought he did right now all I could see what a blurry blob. Sliding a pass on my desk I got up walking slowly to the door. I could hear the low whispers around me I opened the door walking out,"Shit" I couldn't see a thing what is going on with me today.

Holding on to the lockers I made my way down the hall. I saw a blurry figure approach me I smiled,"Hey." I couldn't make out who the person was,"Michelle are you okay, you need any help why are you holding on to the lockers?" It was Braxton my smiled faded I sighed,"My vision is a bit blurry I can't really see could you help me."

He instantly snaked his arm around my waist helping me to walk. I elbowed him in the side,"Ugh you get on my nerves."

"What did I do?" He said confused.

"Nothing I just can't stand you."

I heard him purse his lips then he sighed,"Michelle how's Aliyah?"

"She's fine thanks for asking."

Braxton's hand around my waist made me feel some what guilty in a way. I should have never asked him for help even though he was going to anyways.

"Can you send me a picture of her?"

I thought about it wouldn't that be weird but I owed him that much and more,"You can stop by and see her in next Friday."

"Why not this Friday?"

"Because I won't have her she'll be with her dad."

It got quiet after that we stopped I assumed we were at the nurses office. I looked up at his face it was a blurry blob. He was staring at me,"Braxton?"

I put my hand on his cheek I felt tears on his face. I frown set to my lips,"Are you okay?" Was all I could get out at the moment.

"Yeah it's just nice to talk to you even for a moment." My heart saddened and that pang in my chest went through my body.

"Yeah your girlfriend seems nice", he chuckled.

"Your one sly girl", he hugged me for the first time in almost forever. I missed his hugs that was weird it's like saying I missed my ex who's technically not my ex but I still missed him just a little bit.
