Always Hidden

Chapter Twenty Four

My first night staying in my new house and I'm highly uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong I love having my own apartment and my own space but I'm use to having Michael around. I hate the fact I miss this man but I keep tossing and turning on this blow up bed looking for something to hold. As I continued to toss and turn I realized I miss the laughter, I miss the jokes, I miss the kisses I miss it all but at the same time it's making me sick to my stomach. Oh wait no that's the baby.

I quickly got up and ran into the bathroom, I waited for my baby to throw the food back up but i guess he/she liked it. I walked away from the toilet and made my way to the sink and threw water on my eyes. "Leah get a hold of yourself he is a monster, you do not need him" I said to myself wiping the water off my face. I left my bathroom and made my way into Jamarcus room I opened the door and watched my baby as he slept, I have no idea how my little man is feeling about all this I know he feels a certain way about it or maybe even me. He just won't tell me or open up to me.

I guess it's best if I try to get him to open up and talk to me. I don't want to be forceful but I really want to know how my baby is feeling about me and his father. I closed his door and made my way to kitchen until I heard my loud phone ringing. I rolled my eyes and mugged my phone once I realized it was the witch herself. My mother Jesus I shouldn't be saying that.but this lady really knows how to get under my skin. 

"Hello ?" 

"Hey Leah I haven't seen you in a while" She said trying to sound nice

"I know" I said trying to sound excited

"Where have you been ?" She asked sounding nosy but also trying to hide it 

"Mom I know what you are doing, I'm not giving you any information so you can go run and tell Michael" I said pouring some orange juice in a cup.

"Leah that is your husband, when are you going to stop being petty and just love that boy ?" She ask

I rolled my eyes and mugged my phone "Got damn it mom when are you going to understand my "husband" likes to beat me whenever he gets a attitude about something that was nothing to do with me , I literally can't have Jamarcus around that anymore" I said whispering so Jamarcus wouldn't hear me and talking aggressively so she'll get the point.

"Leah stop lying on him!" she exclaimed getting frustrated 

I took the phone away from my ear and dropped my jaw and had to remind myself that was my mother on the phone "You know what mom I gotta handle my child goodbye" I said hanging up "I can't believe that woman told me to stop lying on him"

I walked into Jamarcus room and woke him up, "I'm going to make breakfast babe what do you want ?"

"Sleep" He said rubbing his eyes and laughing

I rolled my eyes and smiled "a bowl of cereal it is, make up your blow up bed and brush your stinky breath"

He signed, I made my way into the kitchen and fixed him some Frosted Flakes. "Aw man I forgot to get milk"

"Mommy can I call daddy ?" He asked

"Go get it out of my purse" I said looking for something he can eat 

"He's calling you mommy" He said handing me the phone

"Answer babe put it on speaker " I said walking in my room

"Hello ?"

"Hey buddy, whats up ?" Michael asked sounding like a actual father 

"Nothing I miss you daddy" He said frowning his little face
