"A Night Off"
Nayeli ⚜️
I held Reese's phone close to my ear as Marcellus spoke to me. He was letting me know what was going on and what would happen. It was going to be hard explaining to Asia that her dad wasn't going to be around for a little while.
It had been a few weeks since I was released from the hospital. I was taking it easy since my wounds were still healing. I still had one bullet in my chest that they were keeping an eye on. They were waiting for it to move to the surface so the removal would be easy.
"Marcellus this isn't a week or even a month, you could be going away for at least a year" I stressed cutting off all the plans he was laying out.
"You don't think I know that? Who facing the jail time me or you?" He asked clearly copping an attitude that I could care less for.
"I know but I'm just saying, it's a lot" I mumbled. Everyone around me was on edge and I didn't know what to do.
"Reese really coming through, he fixing everything up so he'll be granted custody" he said trying to assure me but I knew with this court system, anything could go left.
"That's his niece, he'll so anything for her" I smiled. Reese and Asia had such a cute relationship.
"You and him the only ones I trust with her. She don't take to everybody quickly but she took to you quickly. She going to daycare soon though" he said making me smile. Asia and I clicked from the start even though she tried to give me a hard time in the beginning.
"Reese doesn't have guaranteed custody of her Marcellus and I'm out of the equation" I reminded him. Everything was all talks for now, the court would have the final say so. They would probably use the shootings I've been in as a reason to say I'm unfit to be a caregiver.
"My baby mama out of the equation too, I had a private investigator watching her. My lawyer sorting through everything we got against her"
"Against her?" I asked wondering what evidence he had found.
"Yeah random niggas running through her place and all that. I don't got a lot of time left on the phone so I'm not even gonna get into all that"
"You're okay in there though right?" I asked. Not a day went by that I didn't worry.
"Niggas keep testing me but I'm handling it, this place ain't for me." He responded.
"Well hopefully you do your time and get out, learn your lesson so you don't have to be back in there again" I stressed. Reese and Marcellus both had a slight temper that landed them in crazy situations.
