Hidden Feelings

Amir Jones

"What they say?" I sat on the bed next to Valencia as Malina stood in front of me with two sticks in her hand.

"You know what they say, Amir." She laughed. "You trapped me."

"Well you wasn't letting me have it any other way. We gonna build a future together and that's a promise." I interlocked my pinky with hers and kissed it.

"Ew." Valencia ruined our moment, crunching on chips that were mines.

"What do you mean ew? And give me my shit." I snatched the chips from her and her eyes began to water.

"Look what you did." Malina hit me upside the head.

"I didn't know she was gonna cry."

Sebastian walked into the room seeing that Valencia was crying and walked right back out.

"Get your ass back in here." I told him hearing him suck his teeth and enter the room again.

"What's wrong with my baby?" He said softly making me cringe. I hope me and Malina don't end up like that.

"He took my chips and I'm hungry." She pouted.

"They're my chips you little demon."

"Shut up Amir!" She raised her voice making me jump. For someone so small she sure was violent. "Can I have your sandwich?"

"But...I just made this for myself." Sebastian looked down at his untouched sandwich and back at her stale face.

"I ask for one simple thing and you can't give it to me. You got me pregnant. It's obvious you don't love me." She snapped, getting off the bed.

He grabbed her arm, "Baby-"

"Don't touch me." She snatched from him.

"It's okay. I'll make you some food, baby mama." Malina grabbed her hand and left the room. Valencia walked back in and snatched the bag out my before leaving again.

"Five more months of this bullshit." He sighed, taking a bite out his sandwich.

"Valencia is bipolar as hell. Malina is just mean all around."

Elias and Malia ran past one way, then the other way giggling.

"What y'all doing?" I called out making them come in the room.

"We're gonna play doctor, daddy." Malia told me.

"Like hell you are."

"Why can't I?" She put her hands on her hips.

"Uncle Mir you always taking the fun out of something." Lil Bash sucked his teeth.

"Daddy I'm gonna tell mommy you won't let me play with Elias." She rolled her neck. One day I'm gonna smack that ponytail off her head because of her attitude. All Malina's doing.

"And what she gonna do?"

"She gonna beat you up."

"Girl bye. Your mama ain't gonna do shit." I mushed her face.

"Yeah? Then why that one day she-" I covered her mouth to prevent her from snitching on me.

"Ooh daddy can I have some?" Elias stood next to Sebastian eyeballing his sandwich.

"No."

Elias smiled before taking a bite anyways. Bad ass little boy.

"Valencia come get your son before I throw him out the window!" Sebastian shouted making me laugh.
