Chapter O4

Chaise- Aubrey

|The Next Morning |

I Woke Up Samira Crying, Are You Kidding Me? I Made Her A Bottle Before Picking Her Up Out Her Crib And Laying Her In My Bed. We Were Snuggled Against Each Other And Just As We Were Both About To Fall Asleep, I Got A Text Message. Ugh! I Checked My Phone And Saw It Was Penny.

Best Friend !- Girl What Should I Wear?

Me- Penelope Get Off My Phone With The Bull Crap. It's 6 In The Morning Good Bye!

I Put My Phone Back On The Night Stand And Tried To Go To Sleep When My Phone Started To Ring. I Sighed As I Placed Sami On The Bed, I Grabbed My Phone And Answered Before Answering The Phone.

"Penelope, What The Hell Man? Leave Me Alone About This Damn Outfit, It's Not That Serious!" I Semi Yelled.

"Well Damn, Someone's Grumpy." I Heard A Male Voice And Then I Realized It Was Josiah.

"Josiah, Why Are Calling Me So Earlier?" I Questioned Chuckling.

"It's FaceTime Bre, And I Don't Know I Figured You'd Be Up." I Could Tell He Shrugged, I Don't How, But I Know He Did.

I Took The Phone From My Ear And Looked At Josiah As He Smiled At Me. I Smiled Back As I Giggled A Little.

"I Was Up, Sami Was Crying And Penelope Kept Texting Me." I Said Putting The Camera On A Sleeping Samira. Last Night He FaceTimed Me Like He Said He Would And, Of Course, Samira Was With Me And He Talked To Her As She Smiled And Laughed And Whatnot.

I Put The Camera Back On Me As He Said,"That Explains Why You Answered The Phone Like That."

"I Guess She's Like Nervous To Meet Isaiah I Don't Know." I Shrugged.

"I'm Nervous To See You." He Said And I Looked At Him As If He Were Crazy.

I Laughed,"Why?"

"Because We Only Met Once, And When We Did Meet You Looked At Me Like I Was Some Type Of Creep Or Something."

I Continued To Laugh,"It Was Just Strange What You Did. This Whole Situation Is Strange, You Feel Me?"

He Raised His Eyebrow,"What You Mean?"

"I Mean I Random Ass Man Paying For My Groceries Then Asking For My Number In Return... That's Strange, Any Other Person Would've Laughed At Me Or Whatever." I Said Now being Serious.

"I Guess, But What Do You Do? Like How Do You Support Samira And Yourself? You Receive Child Support?" He Questioned.

"I Get Money From My Parents, I Get Child Support Money, But From My Dad Since He Doesn't Live Here. Samira's Father... He Isn't In The Picture, Even If He Wanted To Be, He Would Never Be In The Picture. But How Do You Support Yourself? I Mean You Did Just Pull Out $100 At The Store, And Your Cart Looked Like It Was Worth Maybe $100, So Did You Just Have Another Hundred? Are You A Momma's Boy Or Are You A Nitty?" I Spoke.

"Damn, That Kind Of Hurt Me For You To Say Her Father Would Never Be In The Picture, If That's His Choice, Screw Him, But If Your Keeping Her Away From Him, That's Wrong. Sami Deserves Both Of Her Parents. And I Am Sort Of A Momma's Boy But I Support Myself. And What's A Nitty? I Never Heard That."

"Samira's Father Never Even Wanted To Be Apart Of My Life, I Doubt He'd Just Come Around And Wanna Be In Her Life And If He Does, Call Me What You Want, He's Not Seeing Her. You Don't Understand What Happened, So You Won't Get It. And A Nitty Is The Local Dope Boy."

"I Look Like A Sell Weed On The Corner?" He Questioned Forgetting All About The Sami Thing.

I Chuckled,"Yeah."
