Bryson Tiller: All Grown Up

29

I started to pack up my things into suitcases. When Daniel came back home. "Where you going babe?" He asked me "well I thought we could just go back home and hang with the family. Ima little home sick" I said giving him my doggy eyes but TBH I just wanted to get away from him because I don't like the fact that he wants to leave me but it's whatever. I took my suitcase back to the car and he grabbed his leaving a tip for the cleaning lady and we walked to the car. Okay back to this long ass day long car ride. I buckled up my seat belt and watched him pull out the drive way and out to the highway. "Daniel?" I called his name "what's up baby girl" he said looking at me quickly then back to the road "do you love Keshia?" I asked him. At first he stumbled for words but he knows better then to lie to my face when I ask a question cause he already knows I know the answer. "Look Harley, I'm tried of lying to you and I thought long and hard about this. I don't want to hurt you over lying but look here." He said rubbing his hair "I do love Keshia. I actually love her a lot. Now don't get me wrong, I love you too but I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to hurt her. Y'all both are mothers of my first children. I just don't know what Ima do" he said just looking at the road. I just shook my head and turned my body dozing off to sleep. Because that was all I needed to know. I'm not mad at him but I will move on just not any time soon. I need a break anyways.

Daniel P.O.V:

I honestly didn't want to tell her that but I think it's best that I did because I hate leading girls on. My dad did that to my momma for years. Just because I was young don't mean I didn't understand shit. I understood everything.

Harley P.O.V:

I woke up from the car bumping over shit and looked at Daniel "sorry baby girl" he said smiling turning the music down just a little bit. I picked up my phone and called my momma. "Hello?" I said through the phone. "Hey baby what's up?" My mom said through the phone "we are on our way to the house, I'll be there soon" I said "okay well I'm making dinner, see you when you get here baby" she said and I hung up the phone. I put my phone on the charger and started to doze back off but couldn't go to bed.

Hours later ..........

We pulled up to the house that I just missed so freaking much. Daniel
Parked the car and we both got out leaving the suitcases in the car because neither one of us was worried about that right now. I walked up to the door, knocking first then preceding in. "Momma Im home" I hear feet, sounds like some running then lani and bj come from around the corner and like charge me. "Ah y'all gotta be gentle with your sister" Sidney said walking up giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek "I'm so sorry baby" she said giving one last tight squeeze and walking over to Daniel whispering something in his ear. "The food just got done five minutes ago. So y'all come make your plates and let's enjoy this delicious meal" she said smiling then walking into the kitchen. When I walked in, I seen Bryson and his mother, I walked over to my Grandma and just hugged her but you know I'm hella emotional so I started crying. She's like a big supporter in my life. She just rubbed my back and kissed my cheek. She didn't say anything but just comforted me and that's all I need was for someone to show me that they love me. Instead of treating me like a committed a crime. I understand I'm 17 and pregnant like my dreams aren't over but then again they kinda are but I'm a young adult gonna be 18 in the next few months. I know how to take responsibility for my own actions. "Go to the rest room, wash your face, catch a breath or two and come have dinner. I'll make your plate baby" I walked to the bathroom took a five minute break, gathered all my thoughts then went to go have dinner. When I returned to the table my fat girl plate was sitting there with all my favorites and everyone was seated. The kids have to sit at the kiddy table 😂. "So how was your vacation?" She asked Daniel and myself "it was fun" Daniel said then looked at me "it was coo Ig" I know I said that with an attitude because I instantly caught one. Like how could you say we had a good and fun vacation when you basically are in love with another women while trying to leave me and our child in the dirt??? "We I wanted to let you two know that I'm not mad I completely understand. Your father and I had a long heated conversation until I got through the big ass skull and he's fully prepared to accept whatever decision you make, I'm proud of you regardless. You made it through everything that's happened and you can overcome this baby" Sidney said and I guess that was the end of that conversation. My dad got up out his chair, walked over to me. Bent down, giving me a hug "I love you Harley, forever and ever till the day I die" he said giving me a hug and touching my belly. "Now don't think I ain't disappointed about this, I am your father and I really don't approve of this but this is your life and I can't make every decision for you, so your
Mother and I will stand by your side with whatever you decide to do." He said kissing my belly then bending down and kissing my belly. "Grandpas little man inside of there" he said "how you know it's a boy?" I asked my dad. "Look how your eating, like a pig" he said. I gasped then started crying "so I'm ugly and fat and you think I'm dirty?" I asked him "NO HARLEY, IM SORRY" he said trying to make everything better but it didn't help. He hurt my feelings. Like nigga you know I'm sensitive and even more emotional. We all started digging into our plates, laughing, and bringing up crazy memories. I watched Daniel not really engaging into the convo but instead texting away on his phone. "You texting your old bitch Keshia?" I asked him rolling my eyes. He looked at me then he started to get a nervous look "fuck your Daniel, I'm good on you" I said picking up my plate and walking to the sink "what you mean? You good on me?" He asked me "like I said, I'm good on you. You ain't no good. You just a spitting image of King and Bryson. Ain't never gone be shit. I refuse to make the same decisions my momma made by steadily going back to Bryson after ever fuck up. I hate to think negative about my own father. I love him but he's prolly still fuvking up just to tell the truth. Ain't never gone do right and I mean that. Instead of leading someone on your
Could have just flat out told me 'hey Harley I don't love you, I just want to fuck you' I freaking love you Daniel but I refuse to stand her and act like I don't know your going to cheat on me after dinner or even leave me so to protect my self, I'll just leave you " I said putting my plate in the sink "oh yeah and if you ever in your life try that dumb shit my father did with me, by not being there and then disappearing for ten and plus years. Trust me I won't keep your child away but there will be a price to pay. I refuse to let my child. Son, daughter , twins whatever. I refuse to let them have this anger, not loved, useless, worthless feeling I feel about everything. So if you want to leave then just leave. Don't look back Daniel. Save your self from wasting the energy because I won't waste another breathe on this conversation" I looked him in his eyes the whole time. I looked at my family "I'm sorry but I will be dismissing myself" I walked out the kitchen and to the living room to watch cartoons with the brats. "How is my
Munchkins doing?" I asked both lani and bj "we missed you guys so much" my brother said snuggling up to me putting his head and hand on my belly. "I missed you guys too" I said sitting in the same position until everyone else joined us but even when I did move. Bj didn't bother to move. He laid on belly the whole night until bed time. I can already tell he's going to have a great bond with his niece or nephew. I just can't wait. I'm already excited
