Janice POV

"So you until video games? " he asked me.

"Hell yeah, I play Call of duty ghosts and black ops with my dad, " I said and he smirked.

"OK let's have a bet then. If you win, I buy you something nice and if I win, I take you out on a date, " he said and I nodded. We shook on it and the bet was on.

"I'm about to bust your ass, " he said and I laughed. Cris and I have been talking for about a month now. He's really sweet and I might his mom and his sister. They're really sweet and nice. His mom reminds me of my dad. They act just alike. As we played, he didn't take it easy on me or anything, he gave it his all. I always win with Bryson cause he take it easy on me. I like a challenge. Even my dad never take it easy on me, his little girl and I don't care. 4 times out of 10 I beat him but most of the time he beats me. I don't cry about I just ask for a rematch and I win. The game was over and he wins. I wasn't mad or anything. A bet is a bet. I have to stick to it.

"You were tough to beat just know that, " he said and I smiled.

"Not a lot of girls is like me, " I said and he smirked.

"Oh true in deed. Not a lot of girls is pretty, smart, wonderful and mighty thick as you, " he said looking me up and down. I laughed.
Rest of the time that I was at Cris house, we were talking. He was telling about his life. He has no memory of his dad except when he was a baby and was found on his mom's door step. The same thing happened to me and my mom. I have no clear image of her and I don't respect the fact that she couldn't be woman enough and took care of me. I don't care if you had me young or not, grow the fuck up and claim what you have and what you made.

"I don't think if I ever see my pops that I would have a relationship with him. I mean I can forgive but never forget cause all my life I had to see my mom struggle, you know, without him. She needed a male by her side to take care of me and to show me in the right path and ways of being a man but I didn't need that bum ass nigga. My uncle and my best friend dad taught me, " he said and I nodded. I agree cause my dad had a hard time with me but if it was for Patience and my grandmother, Belle, I wouldn't be the woman I am today.

"I understand everything, the same goes to me. I can forgive my mom but I don't know if I can ever be around her or connect with her like I do with my dad. He's all I got including Patience and my grandmother, and my little sister on the way, I have to take care of her. I can't be around someone who didn't want me and I don't want my sister to go through the same thing, " I said and he smirked at me.

"You are mad strong Janice, you been through a lot and I K of you are going to be a good role model for your baby sis, she's gonna look up to you and smile, she's going to be proud to call you a big sister, " he said and it made me smile. Cris is just a ladies man. I mean he knows everything, he know exactly what to say. Like he knows what a woman feels and what she's thinking. I don't think there's nothing wrong with that.

I had a fun time with Cris but the sky was turning to dusk and it was time to go. He walked me to my car, I said bye to his mom and his baby sister and I left. When I got home it was this lady on my couch and my dad was by the door.

"Where is she? " she asked.

"Mona you have to go, you can't come just back into her life like this. She's been through way too much, you think she needs you back now," he spat at her.

"What's going on? " I asked as I closed the door making me sad jump and the lady turned her head.
"Janice? " she said as she got up off the couch.

"No this isn't her get out, " I said as she looked at me funny.

"What? I don't know you, I don't want to you so you can leave. My dad said go so be on your way, " I said and she got up and left.

"Who was that? " I asked as I sat at the table with Patience and my dad. My dad rubbed his head and Patience was tensed. What was going on?

"That bitch should of never came here, " she yelled.

"Baby calm down I didn't know that she would actually come, " he said.

"Who are you talking about? " I asked them.

"It doesn't matter. You better tell her Tony or I will, " she said.

"Tell me what?! " I said getting aggravated. What are they talking about? Who was here, why they were here? What did they want and why does it have to do with me?

"Sweet heart, you remember that night you ask me who I was on the phone with right? " he asked me and I nodded. "That woman was your mom and she was here not to long ago, that's the woman you told to leave, " he said.

"And that bitch better never come back. The shit she put my Janice through and than think she can just pop up when she grow the fuck up, no bitch you thought wrong, " she said.

"Patience, relax, " my dad said a little stern and than Patience was quiet.

I didn't know what to say, I just looked at them.

"OK," I said as I got up and walked up to my room. I really didn't have no emotion. I didn't care. She wanted me now, now that everything is going good? Why? Why now, what's so important? I took a shower, brushed my teeth and went to bed. All I thought about was me and Cris, nothing else.
