The Hood Don't Love You

Chapter 16

Jamerica Williams|Bambi

Using my keys, I unlocked the door to my house and stepped inside. I slipped my shoes off, and headed down the hall and up the stairs to my room. Today was a long day at work, and I was in need of a nice, hot shower and a little break before BJ brought KJ home. Making it inside my room, I placed my shoes back into my closet and peeled myself out of my scrubs, placing them in the dirty clothes hamper, which hung on the back of my door. I stripped out of my undergarments and placed them in the hamper, before heading for the bathroom. I turned the water on, and slipped my shower cap on before stepping inside the shower.

Once my shower was over, I walked back into my room and moisturized my skin with lotion before slipping into some boy shorts, and a large tee shirt. I laid down in my bed, and closed my eyes, about to doze off, when a knock came on the door downstairs. Rolling my eyes, I got up and went to the door.

"Mommy!", KJ yelled while running up and hugging me. I slightly hugged him and forced a smile. It's not that I wasn't happy to see him, I'm just tired.

"Hey baby.", I said while hugging him."Hey.", I looked up to BJ. He nodded at me and continued to look down at KJ.

"Was he good?", I asked.

"Yeah, he was great. Little man got an attitude like his daddy.", he said. I laughed a little and yawned.

"You can come in.", I said while walking back from the door and into the living room. KJ had already ran upstairs to his room.

"Get your night clothes out and run your bath water KJ!", BJ yelled up the stairs. KJ yelled back "yes sir" and then we sat on the couch. I leaned my head back and looked up at the ceiling. He leaned over and looked me in my face.

"You look tired.", he said with a smirk. The smirk that used to have my panties fighting waterfalls back in high school.

"I am. I've had a long day, working all week and dealing with him when I get home. I'm used to it though, I've been doing it for four years now.", I stated. He let out a sigh.

"Let me help you Jamerica.", he said. I turned my head to him, looking him in those sexy brown eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Let me start getting KJ. I can have him one week and you have him the next week. We can build a system, that way he gets equal time with us and you get a break. I don't like seeing you stressed out like this.", he replied.

I had the urge to tell him that I missed him while he was gone, because the truth is I did. The front I put up about not wanting nothing to do with him, and not wanting him around was a lie. Every day he was locked up, I used to dream about our first time and when we first got together. I used to think back on how things were in high school, and how my life had changed without him. Truth is, I wanted him more than ever, but he'll never know.

"I don't like the idea of him going from house to house every week though. That seems a bit aggravating, especially with him being so young, he's going to get tired of it eventually."

"Alright. How about I start getting him from school then, and I'll bring him over a couple hours later than now, that way you can get a nap in.", he said. I nodded my head.

"I would really love that. I feel so drained.", I said while stretching and getting up. He got off the couch and stood up, looking me directly in the face. I felt like we were having a staring contest, but I was taking in his appearance. He wore a pair of Legend Blue Jordans, some black joggers and a plain white shirt. He is so sexy to me and if we weren't in the situation we're in, he could really get it right here on this couch.
