The Man in Front of Me

Chris Brown

"You're going to be late for your flight! I seems like you're the last one that needs to get on board with your team! Madison will be okay, I promise!" Mia informs as Madisons wails sadden me. I didn't want to be gone for three days in Cleveland without them at my side. This was just something I've gotta do.

"Call us when you land! Be careful!!You are going to shine out there on the court, and we'll be watching on your tv, in your bed! It'll be like you never left!" Mia's soft voice and smile calms down my nervousness of leaving. They'd be watching me in my safe and protected home while I'm in Cleveland. I should have any worries.

"Alright....I love you guys both so much! Daddy will be back before you know it!" I kiss Madison's cheek and ruffle her outrageous curly hair as her cries got softer. I also kiss Mia's cheek as well, causing her to blush

"Don't be inviting any guys up in my crib, either of you!" I tease them both as Mia giggles.

"Hmm! Thanks for the idea-"

"Nuh uh! Their asses will be torn up so fast-"

"Any last calls for the plane ride to Cleveland?" A flight attendant announces through the speakers and specifically glares at me. I sigh.

"Have some fun out there Chris. Now, tell daddy bye bye!" Mia waves in my direction, trying to encourage Maddy to do the same. Madison hides her face in Mia's shoulder, which made me feel worse. Damn. Was my babygirl mad for me leaving?? It's not like I'll be discarding myself from their lives; never again. It's 3 days!

"She's just tired, go! They'll be pissed if you dont hurry!" Mia tells me as the flight attendant taps her feet while holding the entrance door wide open.

"Okay, I love you Maddy! I love you both so much and I'll be back shortly, very shortly!!!" I sigh as Mia smiles brightly and nods, blowing me one of her kisses before I turn my back around, walk through a short hall and head to whatever seat wasn't taken up by my team.

"Chris!" Kobe waves me over and points to the empty seat next to him that I assumed to be reserved for me.

"Thanks man." I sit in it and take a deep breath, taking out my phone to check my notifications.

"Awww. Your babygirls are so cute man." Kobe grins and glances over my shoulder to see my lock screen of Mia and Madison as I nod happily.

"No wonder you seem so relaxed. That Mia girl couldn't keep her gorgeous smile off her face when she talks to you. Y'all smashing?" Kobe jokes as I elbow him harshly and roll my eyes, while he chuckles up a storm.

"When we were together..." I mumble as he slowly stops his laughing and pulls himself together. Everyone on the plane was noisy and excited for the next 3 days of being in Cleveland.

The next two games here won't be long anyway, so I don't see the reason to be hyped up. I was too upset about Madison ignoring me while I got on the plane.

"Well, you told me details of her in the past and she seems like a goal reacher and confident young lady. She's fine as fuck too! I saw your instagram post a few days ago and another of your adorable daughter. That's a beautiful image of a perfect family if you ask me, or anybody! Why wouldn't you two be together?!" Kobe questions me.
