As If She Were My Daughter

Chapter 20

Angel Collins

I sighed and waited for Leon to pick up the phone. I needed someone to talk to asap and he was taking forever. On what seemed like the 14th ring he picked up. "Hey bruhhhh" he started off. "hey" i say laying back on my bed with my hand over my eyes. "what's wrong brodie?" he questioned. I sat up. "man, Tomeka came all the way down here to GA man" i say rubbing my forehead. 

"Oh word? Shorty came all the way down there?" he asks as if he aint hear me. "THAT'S WHAT I SAID RIGHT?" i raise my voice. "Chill bruh. Why you so stressed?" he asks me. "Because Leon... I don't know what to do anymore." i say to him. "Moms know?" he asks me. "HELL NAH. I mean she knows who Tomeka is but -" "she dont know that you could be tomekas baby daddy." he finishes for me. 

I stay quiet for a second. "ok is that all thats on your mind?" he asks me. "No" i say sighing. "what else?" he asks. I exhale long. "I miss Tori bruh." i say simply. "lawd" he says. "well look...i hate to say this, but everybody makes mistakes ok? And Tomeka is showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time." he says. " she knows you goin to the NFL and shit now. So of course she pregnant with your child" He explains exactly what Mich told me and i sigh loud.

"Bruh, i say you just give ya girl Tori another chance and pay Tomeka to leave you alone" Leon says. "Leon she doesn't want money from me " i tell him. "like hell she doesn't. What broad doesn't like money ?" he asks and that makes me think back on what i just said. "look if you don't want to trust me then do the exact opposite of what i say. iight?" he says to me and i sit up and look down at my shoes. I say  quiet. "Iight man. Thanks." i tell him. "no problem cuh. We gotta look out for these broads." he says. I smile. "and cuh, Congrats on winning that game."  he says. I thank him then hang up. 

i look at my phone trying to decide what to do. I know there is nothing more important in my  life than that baby boy that i go pick up and go to the park with. NOTHING. Part of me wanted to believe Tomeka but all the facts... all of them ... were against her. I can't trust her. Tori was ride or die since day one. Yes she messed up but Leon was right. Everybody makes mistakes. I love that girl. 

My phone started viberating in my hands. I hit the answer button and held it up to my ear. "Hey..." i started. "Hey ... " she says back. There is silence but i want to talk to her so bad right now. "I miss you baby" she says sniffling. "im sorry about everything..."she says with a broken voice. "Shh.. baby i miss you too. Bring my baby over here and some clothes for both of you. " I say to her. "We are going to fix us." i say. Right then is when everything felt right.

-2am*

I woke up from a dream that i couldnt help but think of Tomeka from. I quietly let go of Tori and got up out the bed walking to the bathroom. I flipped the light on and looked in the mirror at myself. This is the right choice Angel. You love this girl and little boy i kept saying to myself. You love them. wouldnt  change anything about them for the world. Not even the little mistakes. 

I wet my face with cold water and grab a towel so i can pat my face dry. "Angel" i look over at the door. "yes baby?" i say as she comes in and lays her head on my shoulder and looks at us in the mirror. "I love you" she says. "I love you too" i say as she pulls my head down towards hers and gently kisses my lips. I kiss her back. "wheres Kami?" i ask her getting a little worried. "dont worry baby.. he's in the bed with a lot of pillows." she says smiling at me. I relax a little and look at her. "what?" i ask her. "You are such a great daddy" she says.

I smile because i know i am. "i try to be." i say to her. "He's gonna be just like you i hope." she says. "oh he's already like me. " i tell her smirking. She shakes her head and stands on her tip toes to kiss my cheek. "im going back to bed. " she says before smacking my ass "AYE" i say jumping and she laughs as she tries to run before i smack hers. "I'll be in there in a minute" i say to her. "ok baby" and she disappears out of sight. 

I look back at the mirror at myself then turn around and turn the light off and walk out. I walk in my room grabbing my shirt and putting it on. "where you going?" Tori says with a little attitude. I roll my eyes. "baby dont start... im going for a run" i say to her looking her dead in her eyes. She olds on to Kamil. "whatever" she says. "if i find out you were with her ima know all this shit was bullshit." she says as i walk out the room and down the stairs to the front door grabbing my keys and my ipod.

I start jogging as soon as i lock the door wasting no time. I put my headphones in and im off into a different world with the music playing. The morning is just like it was last night. I thought about Tori more and more as i ran. I ran so much i was drenched in my own sweat.

I wiped my forehead and looked at my watch that read '4:36' Damn i was out for almost 3 hours. I know ima hear it when  i get back. I started my run back and when i got there it was 6am. "shit" i mumble to my self. I open my door and the lights pop on and here Tori is in my face yelling and shit. "tori have a seat i told you where i was going " i tell her in a calm voice.

" IT TOOK YOU 4 HOURS TO FUCKING JOG NIGGA?!" she screams causing Kamil,whos upstairs, to start crying. I try to move past her and she puts her hand on my chest. "I got MY son" she says as she walks up the stairs. HER son? I stand there and shake my head removing my shirt. Her ass was too much. She never acted up before but now Kamil is HER son.

I giggle a little as she comes back down stairs staring a hold in me. She gets infront of me and slaps me. "did. you. fuck. her.?" she asks me all slow like. "the fuck?" i say to her looking at her like she's stupid. "DID YOU FUCK HER?!" she screams. I lean down and tongue kiss her and whisper. "i didnt fuck anybody i went for a run.I ran hella far and didnt realize until i looked at my watch." i stare her in her eyes until she looks as if shes calmed down. "Angel, i just dont want to lose you again." she says to me as she starts to cry. I pull her in my arms and hold her close kising her hair. "shh. I love you" i say to her. 

I don't understand how she doesn't trust me... and i can trust her. I dont ask her any questions like that for fear of starting another argument. For now ill just hold her close and keep telling her i only want her. She is my life along with Kamil. Im sure of myself now... well pretty sure...Hell im not sure at all..........
