Threw the eyes of roc.
We took lay'ah to the park and she seemed happy. She played on the slide and the seesaw. Just watching my daughter with this bright smile across her face made my heart pound. Sometimes it's still hard to believe I made a living creation. But the proof is right here in front of me. Lay'ah looks just like me.
"Layah smile!" Dominique told her aas she marched to the top of the slide. She did a typical cheese for a 1 year old but it was beautiful. "Cheesh!" She smiled. The way she said it. Haha she doesn't know how to say her S's correctly yet but she was damn close enough. Layah slid down the slide and a boy that seemed her age waited at the bottom of the slide for her. " IIII"
he smiled. I guess he meant to say hi but cant put emphasis on his H's.
He was cute too. Lay'ah hugged him as if they knew eachother all their lives which isn't long. Haha. Dominique snapped a picture of lay'ah hugging the little boy. They began playing with eachother when the mom walked over to us. "Is that your daughter?" She asked us.
"Yes." I responded.
"Looks like our kids our hitting it off huh?" Dominique asked.
The lady chuckled. "Yeah .. my son has been wanting someone to play with him lately. "
" I'm roc and this is Dominique " I introduced ourselves.
The lady held her hand out to the both of us to shake "I'm Karen and that's my son Alex" she smiled I grabbed her hand and nodded followed by Dominique doing the same, not taking her eye off of lay'ah. "Who's the cutie pie?" She asked nodding over to my daughter.
"Her name is Lay'ah " I smiled. "well she's beautiful "
"Thank you Karen " Dominique smiled.
We ended up exchanging numbers and started making play dates for Alex and Lay'ah. They really hit it off tonight and now we were headed in the car on our way home... My baby finally got her a friend outside of me and Dominique. Watch tomarrow she'll be graduating kindergarten and the tears will roll!
I sniffed a little too emotional and Dominique heard. "Roc? Are you crying?" She asked
"What? No....! "
"But I saw a tear and heard you sniff"
"No.. I got sand in my eye from the sandbox. Don't worry about it"
" but roc---"
" no Dominique!!! I told you my granmama died dang! " i yelled
"Okay jeez... and you said you got sand in your eye... but now you said its cause of your Grandma? "She continued.
"Dominique. If you don't let it go you WILL NOT! get the D tonight"
Dominique stayed quiet and smirked a little. She knew I was really crying but she started driving out of the parking lot anyway.
