The Trapped Ones.

4. Drifting.

Raina.

"We gotta pick up Cam." I said scrolling down my insta timeline. He just shook his head and continue to drive. "So that's all I do at meetings?" I asked after we reached Cameron's school. Demarco sighed and begin to roll a blunt. I scrunched my eyebrows together because this nigga wanted to ignore me. Wheres his gun when I need the shit! I mushed the side of his face. He glared at me while I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I asked you a question Demarco." I raised an eyebrow and he started the lick the blunt before lighting it making sure it was sealed completely. He looked at me and took his seat belt off releasing his self. "First, stop putting ya damn hands on me before I gotta tapp that ass and I mean that. Second, no, sometimes you gotta go outta town with me, and sit in on deals. Today just happened to be our weekly meeting where I go over all the books and important shit, now next week, we gotta go to Panama. I got some connects out there that want to talk business and I need you to come. I looked at this man like he lost his marbles! Did he not remember I'm a mother and I have a job that I must attend?

"Wait, what?" He sighed deeply and turned his body to face me. "I am going to Panama on a business trip, and you and Cam will be coming with me for the trip." He lit the blunt and inhaled the smoke exhaling through his nose. I shook my head. "That's not gonna work and you know it! I have a job to go to and Cameron's in daycare, he needs to be around kids his age, not grown ass adults talking about drug deals." He ran his hand down his face and took another puff of this swisher sweet. "Look, I guess I've been too fucking nice to yo ass, but like I said before, you belong to me! It seems like you don't process shit correctly sometimes Raina. You and Cameron will be going to Panama with me next week, and we will be there for two weeks, so you might just wanna quit ya job cause you got a new one now. Now if you don't like how the fuck I talk to you that's your damn problem." I glared at him burning a hole in the side of his face as he finished off his blunt. I opened the door slamming it behind me.  He rolled down the window. "Slam my shit again Rai!" He yelled after me. I flicked him off and went into the building.

I walked into Cameron's class and searched for him before spotting him with one if his little friends. I grabbed his bag and signed him out. I walked over to him and picked him up kissing all over his face like I usually do. I walked out with him telling me his day. I opened the door so he could get in, buckled him up and got in the passengers seat and buckling myself up before crossing my arms and looking out the window most of the ride. Cameron talked Demarco's head off as usual. I zoned everything out for a bit just thinking. Marco says he likes me, but the nigga always talking down to me like I'm a damn child. I hate that shit! I don't care what he say's ain't no way I'm doing what he tells me. Fuck him!

"Mommy, I'm hungry!" Cameron whined. We were now in the house sitting on the couch watching tv. Demarco left after he dropped us off and I couldn't be more happy. He's on my shit list. "Alright baby, I'll order some pizza." I ordered the pizza and got Cameron cleaned up. After I washed him up, I took my own shower and got dressed. We went back to the couch and I popped in Despicable Me 2 for him. The doorbell rang indicating that it was the pizza guy, I opened the door to see Marco holding my pizza and smiling. I snatched the pizza and tried to close the door, but he stopped it with his foot. He pushed through and held my waist. "Chill out." He said through clenched teeth. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I put the pizza box on the coffee table and went to get some plates and drinks. I put down the plates, cups and box of juice on the table and shared out Cameron's slices. I did the same for myself  forgetting about Marco on purpose. I don't even know why he's here. The whole time we were watching the movie and eating he was on the phone. I just rolled my eyes and cuddled with my son. Soon Cam fell asleep on me leaving me and Demarco together.  I picked Cam up and took him to his room before coming back downstairs and cleaning up our mess. I was in the kitchen putting away the remaining slices of pizza and washing dishes when Demarco came in sitting on the counter. "What do you want?" I asked after he called my name for the umpteenth time. "Why you mad?" He really must be crazy or slow. "I just don't want to talk." He turned off the faucet. "What?" I said again. "You mad at me?"  I glared at him. "Nope." I said popping the p. He chuckled. "Man, whatever. Bye." He said getting up and leaving. "Bitch nigga." I mumbled under my breath" He came back in the kitchen raising an eyebrow at me. "The fuck did you say Rai?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Don't know what you talkin about." I lied. He smacked my ass hard making me yelp in pain.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" I shouted. 

He smirked. "Don't talk shit." He said walking away. I followed him. "Stop talking to me like I'm a little ass girl." He turned around to me. "Maybe if you wouldn't pout like you were one I wouldn't." He smirked. I rolled my eyes and  walked past him. He followed me sitting on the bed while I walked to the closet to put my shoes away. "I thought you were leaving."  I yelled from the closet. "Nah, imma chill with my wife." I scoffed and rolled my eyes before coming back out and laying down. "Your wife wants a divorce." He laughed and laid with me kissing my neck and wrapping his arms around me. "Till death do us part baby girl."
