Practice What You Preach (On Hold)

Chapter 2

Mckenzie's POV

The next day I got home at around 2:00 AM. I checked in on Paris and she was sound asleep in her bed. Kaija was sleeping on the couch so I didn't want to disturb her. I just got in my sleeping clothes and layer down.

-Next Morning-

Beep beep beep beep

I was awakened the Alarm on my peach iPhone 5c. I went to the restroom and did my hygiene stuff. I had a long day ahead of me but then again we're pretty much always busy on Saturdays. Today Paris, Adrian and I were going to go take pictures, then she had a play date with her friend Lisette. I came out of my room and I saw that Kaija was already gone for the day. She works at a hotel on weekends.

I peeled inside Paris's room and she was up looking at something on tv. "Get out the bed Paris we have a big day ahead of us." I said picking her up. She inched down from me and ran into her bathroom. I chuckled and shook my head. She thinks she's so grown now. She doesn't even let me hold her anymore. The colors were green so while she was in the bathroom doing her hygiene I picked out her clothes. I picked out a green sun dress with a big yellow bow in the back.

For the shoes she's going to wear some white sandals with green flowers on the side. She always wears the tennis bracelet Darius ordered for her. It has their (him and Cams) last name on it. I actually gave her my last name and Cameron's last name so it's actually Paris Marie McClendon-DeLaRojos. I didn't even realize that Paris had took her own shower. I was just sitting on her Dora bed watching wonder pets. I still such a kid.

She got out the shower and came in the room with a town rapped around her and her head. This crazy girl washed her hair and now it's all curly, something I didn't want to happen. I handed her her clothes and she put them on. Then she went back into the restroom to go get her hair supplies so I could do her hair.

She came back and sat between my legs. On the floor. This reminded me of when I was a little girl getting my hair done. I brushed her hair up into a high tight bun. Then I put a yellow ribbon around it. I told her to sit tight and don't still anything on herself. Then I went to go get dressed. I took a shower. When I got out I wrapped the towel around myself and walked into the closet. I still didn't know what to wear, the one time Adrian and Paris were ready but I wasn't.

I ended up deciding on a green polo top and some yellow skinny jeans. I got dressed then went into the bathroom. I did my make up and then I spiral curled my hair with big curls. I put on my glasses and my Monroe piercing. For the shoes I settled on gold flats.

I was startled when I heard Paris scream, "DADDY!!!", I don't know why I still get scared, then I remember she's talking about Adrian. They both came in my room and he was holding Paris. He gave me a kiss. He looked so handsome. He had on a green polo crew neck sweater. With dark jeans and timberlands. His hair was brushed smooth showing his deep waves and his light brown eyes were sparkling.

"Hey babe you look beautiful." He said kissing me again. "Thanks baby, you look so handsome" I said in return. Biting my lip. I saw Paris daydreaming again. So I asked her, "Marie why do you let Adrian pick you up but not me?" She laughed and said, "because daddy is fun when he picks me up. You just hold me." She said as Adrian was throwing we up in the air.

We soon left to go take pictures. We took the subway because on Saturdays it's really packed in New York. When we got to the place we signed in and sat in the waiting room to be called. Five minutes later a man came out and called us. When we went back there he set us up in a lot of different positions. After about 2 hours we were finished. It took so long because Paris got really antsy in the middle of it.

Afterwards Adrian had to go to work so he gave Paris and I some money kissed both of us and left. I don't know why he spoils me so much. He used to take care of me when I came to New York with a car full of BS and 10,000 dollars. I was actually living in my car when he found me.

We caught a cab into the city where we were going to go meet Lisette and her mom Shanice. I met Shanice when I started working at the bar at night. She was hosting there and she basically showed me the ropes. Then one day when the bar was empty we just sat down with a margarita and started talking. She told me she had a daughter and that she was 5 and that it was by some hood guy name lil red. She said he was in New York on vacation when they met. And then she got pregnant. But he's in jail now. I got to talking about my situation and it was like we were living the same life! Except she was waiting on lil red. I wasn't trynna wait on Cam because he's full of it.

After about 30 minutes in the cab we arrived at Shanices's apartment. It was on the more ghetto side of New York... Closer to New Jersey. It was pretty nice outside and there was a slight wind. We knocked on the door and Shanice answered. She so pretty. She was red boned, and thick. She had black and blond twists that she had going up into a high bun. Then she had on a pink long sleeved shirt and light blue skinny jeans with her valentine Jordan's. "Hey girl!" She said giving me a hug with her semi high pitched voice. "Hey Shanice" I said laughing. She's so funny. Plus she has this voice that's high pitched but she had attitude in her voice. Her deep green eyes topped it off expand her baby Lisette looked just like her.

Lisette had green eyes. Her actual hair was really light brown and curly because whoever "little red" was must've been a mixed breed. She talked just like her mom.

As we walked into the living room Paris ran into Lisette's room and they were off to playing. Shanice and I sat on her couch and talked. "So what you been up to?", I said. She went on with telling me how she went to go visit lil red and her told her when he gets out he was gonna propose to her the "right" way when he got out. As she put it... She "changed" a nigga. I said, "girl you can't change no nigga!" We both laughed and talked some more.

Soon Paris and I headed home but we stopped by mcdonalds first. We got home and Kaija still wasn't there. I ended up talking to Adrian until I went to sleep.
