This Thing Called Life

36.

Over, Over

If ain't one thing it's another, I just can't have my fairytale it's seems. August haven't called, text, he could at least Snapchat me. Let me know something, it's two o'clock in the morning I'm more stressed than ever. Aj cries knocked me out of my thoughts.

"Hey my baby." I picked him up, out of the crib.

"I remember when you sister was this small." I thought out loud. "Wow how my life changed. Andd you stank." I mugged him.

Aj laughed putting his fingers in his mouth.

"Oh you nasty." He passed gas. "You done lil nasty boy?"

He made little noises, I guess letting me know he was finish.

"Can mommy finish tellin' her life story?"

Aj made another noise.

"Okay." I nodded going into the bathroom to get a towel. "So there I was mindin' my business going to class. I don't remember what subject to be exact." Grabbing a diaper and the wipes, before spreading a towel on the bed.

"And then boom, like yo poo poo just hit my nostrils yo daddy chest bumped into my head." I laid Aj on the towel, unbuttoning his onesie.

"Dat is not wad happen at all." August came in laughing. "I think is da' other way around."

"You ain't been in the room for a whole minute yet, and the smell of Aj shit already making you hallucinate."

"Obviously you da one hallucinatin', you been in here longer den both of us." August sat on the bed takin his sneakers off.

"Touché. Can I finish my story?" I wiped Aj butt.

"Mhhm..no." He laid back closing.

"Anyway." I rolled my eyes. "So yah daddy hit me so hard that my anklet came off." I put the the new diaper on.

"Which was posed to be on ha' ankle; key word ankle, but it was on ha' wrist."

"Do you wanna tell the story?" I mugged him.

"Nah, a nigga just throwin' key details out dea." He glared at me a little.

"So, I went to class realized  my anklet was gone. After class I went to where yah daddy half way knocked me out, to look for it." August chuckled, but didn't saying anything. "But then yah daddy came up to me as I was lookin' for it. He had it the whole time."

"A nigga coulda left it der'."

"Interrupted me one more time." I warned August.

"I'm just sayin'." He mumbled.

"Long story short, he hand it to me then winked. And I knew right then and there I was bout to give him all my kids."

"Hol'up hol'up!" August sat up. "So you tellin' me you made a nigga chase you and I coulda gotten in the draws da whole time with no hesitation."

"What's life without no chase." I smiled, picking Aj and the dirt diaper up. "Goodnight." I turned the lights off on the way out.

Next Day

Walking into the my house I expected it to be messy.

"Wad chu lookin' fo'?" August came in behind me carrying Liyah.

"Nothing." I smiled walking to the back with Aj in my arms.

"Mhm yah was expectin' a mess. I know."

"Shut up!!"

"Make me!?" August semi-yelled, as if he wasn't sure on what he said.

"What you say?"

"Love you!!"

"That's what I thought." I said more to myself, while climbing into our bed.

Laying Aj on my chest, he joined me for my nap.

"Who leaves one place whea' dey was sleep jus' to go ta' anotha' place to sleep?" August came in.

"Me and we need to talk."

"About?" August took his shirt off climbing into the bed.

"What I'm gonna tell my child when she gets older and finds out you're not her real father."

"Da truth." He shrugged. "That nigga went to the upper room." He began singing.

"Foreal August." I whined.

"We'll come up wit' somethin' logical don't stress it. Ight?"

"Mhm." I closed my eyes. "I love you."

"You ugly."

I smacked my teeth, looking at him. "You bald headed."

"Yo baby."

I couldn't help but laugh, flipping him off.

"Don't talk about my baby you bastard." I closed my eyes again relaxing.

"I love you too." August threw his arm around me pulling Aj and I close.
