Shit been cool since we moved to Columbia. I met a lil shawty Im feeling more and more each day. Tryna get my hands on some more fast money. But I miss my mama Stacy. I miss her all the time.

"Aye lil bro, get up and call ya daddy." Quan slid back the curtains letting the sun shine through my room. I jerked the covers over my head before groaning in irritation. "What he want man? Close them curtains." Quan sat on the edge of my bed. "I don't know but call him. He might be trying to come get yall." I slowly rubbed my eyes before picking up my phone off the dresser beside my bed and dialing my fathers number.

"Hey son, how its going there?" I instantly got irritated at the sound of his voice. We've never been close but for some reason he puts on a front like we're the best of friends. "Its cool pops. What's up?" He took a deep breath. "I want to come get you and Laysia. I feel like yall should be here with me. Not with Quan and his mess." I shook my head as I rolled over on my back. Quan looking dead at me searching for answers. "Nah I want to stay here, I think Laysia do too. Im good pops. Quan got us, he gone take care of us. And I got Laysia, that's my baby. You know I got her, we good." "I just don't want yall getting caught up in his mess Mon." I put the phone on speaker and stared at Quan. "What mess? What you talking bout?" "Quan got alot of bullshit on his name that I dont need you or Laysia getting hung up in." We both stared at the phone. "Iight pops. Ill call you later. We need anything ill let you know but we good where we at. Ill tell Laysia to call you."

We said our goodbyes before hanging up. "How he know? What all do he know?" I tiredly shrugged my shoulders. "I dont know but he knows something." Quan shook his head. "From the sound of it he knows more than I know. I wonder how though." We both sat in silence for awhile. "I dont know bro but we'll figure it out. Right now I need to be getting dressed so I can see if Jayla want to go do something today." Quan nodded as he got up. "Im bout to do some running round and pay these bills. Call me later." We dapped each other while I turned on my surround sound in my room.

I got dressed in my red Polo collar shirt, khaki Hollister shirt, red/brown Vans with a watch mama Stacy got me for my birthday last year. "Laysia come on !!" I checked myself out in the mirror after brushing my teeth then fixing my hair. "Laysia ! Come..." My lil sister walked in my room looking flawless as ever. "You look beautiful sis. Dont forget ya jacket." I grabbed my heavy jacket and a beanie just to go outside and keep my head warm.

I dont usually do this bringing my sister on a date thing but with everything going on around her I want someone, a female, in her life that can help motivate her and be a role model.

(Jayla at top)

Jayla is 22, light/brownskin, cute brown eyes, a lil on the thick side but its okay. She has a personality out of this world so Im not tripping. Looks is not always important. Shawty calms me, without even knowing it she helps me find myself everyday. Talk about subjects I thought I'd never be talking about and I love it. Usually its just about sex but Im not even on that with her, whatever she wanna do Im down for.
