*Chris

Something wasn't right. Nip just up and dipping like that...nah.

As much as he claim to love London he took too many damn trips, she might as well had this baby on her own, cause homie was barley there most of the time. Shaking my head I grabbed a pair of boxers and a towel going into my bathroom.

Turning the shower on I let the water get hot before stepping in.

After my shower I dressed in my boxers and went into my room to get dressed for work. That's one thing I hate about working a regular job, I gotta go in when they call. After I got dressed in a pair of jeans, a blue shirt, and khaki snapback I went searching for my shoes.

Hearing little feet hit the hard wood floor I seen the girls in the door way.

"Where you go daddy?" M asked first with Mimi following behind her

"I have to work." I said tickling her stomach

"We stay here with Lon?" Mimi asked with a huge smile

"Yes." I smiled too

"Okay. I have to go look for my nail polish." She ran off

"M have you seen daddy shoe?" I asked

"In living room where mommy sit." She said innocently before running off as well.

Laughing lightly I went into the living room where London still sat.

"You seen my shoes ma?" I asked

She looked up at me "No, where you going?" She asked

"Work." I replied looking around the room

"Ok." She sighed getting up

"What's wrong?" I asked her grabbing her hand lightly

"Nothing Chris just go ahead and go to work. Your shoes are probably behind the sofa the girls were playing with them earlier." She said letting my hand go walking towards my room. Before I could say anything she shut the door.

I grabbed my shoes and laced them up before going into the room.

"London what's wrong for real." I crawled in the bed wrapping my hands around her waist

"Nothing." She repeated

"Stop lying to me." I pressed my chin to her shoulder so I could get a better look at her face

"I'm not lying." She said softly

"For real? You gone tell me that when I've known you since you were 16. Stop playing." I ran my thumb along her tiny hand

"I'll tell you when you get home. What time will that be?" She asked turning towards me

"Probably 1" I glanced at my clock that set on the side table, it was now 9:30

"Okay." She said

"You need me to do anything before I leave?" I asked

She thought about it for a second "No go ahead, and be safe Chris." She said seriously. It feels good to have someone still love you and look after you after all the hurt and pain you caused them.

"I will. Love you." It slipped out

She looked at me her brown eyes searching mine and her mouth slightly open as if she seen a ghost.

"I...I...Chris." She closed her eyes

"Chris I can't" she went on to say

"I know. I don't expect to just clapp my hands and have you back, it takes time...but that doesn't mean I don't love. I love you." I said kissing her forehead getting up
