-Dewayne-
I took a bite of my pancakes and looked over at Jayla's spot. She been acting different. I feel like she haven't been talling me stuff. I don't want my little girl to keep stuff from me. I want her to feel like she can tell me any and everything.
This morning when I asked her where she went to after the party, I felt like she lied to me when she said she went to Tiffany's. Mainly because she got a look similar to her mothers when she lies.
"Jamie. Does, Jayla have a boyfriend?" I asked my wife. She stopped chewing her sausage.
"Not that I know of. And even if I did, she'll tell you if she did. You know Jayla wouldn't keep something like that from you. If she did, there's a reason for it."
"What you mean?"
"Well, you aren't the best when it comes to Jayla and guys."
"What? Yes I am." I said taking a sip of orange juice.
"Dewayne. You threatened that little boy she was doing a science project with last year."
"So. He was looking at Jayla's ass."
"He was gay!"
"Baby, we have a beautiful girl. She can turn a gay dude straight." Jamie laughed and I laughed along with her.
Just then, Jayla walked in. She sat down and just played with the stuff on her plate. Something was wrong with her.
"Jayla. Are you alright?"
"Huh? Oh yeah! I was just fussing with Tiffany." She had a smile on her face, but she also had a hint of that same look from earlier.
"Okay." I dismissed it for now.
"Hey, I'm not really that hungry anymore. I think I'm gonna go lay down for a while. My head hurts.
"You want me get you some medicine?" Jamie asked Jayla.
"No, I'm okay. I just need to lay down."
She left the kitchen, soon after we heard her room door close. Just then, my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi King. Sorry to interrupt you, but Smokey told me to call you, to tell you he's back. He wanted to see if you were avavailable to come back in to talk about the business?" I heard Veronica say.
"Oh yes, I'll be there in a few. Tell him to just wait in my office."
"Okay King."
"Thank you Veronica." I hung up and looked over at Jamie. " I'll be right back. I need to go talk to Smokey. I won't be long."
"Okay, but hurry. Today was suppose to be your day off."
"I will, but baby you know there are no real days off." I wiped my mouth and got up. I walked over to her, gave her a kiss and told her "I love you," before getting it back and me walking out the door to my car.
"Richard!" I said giving him a hug as soon as I walked in my office. I been knowing Richard (a.k.a Smokey) about the same time I been l knowing Bullet. Even though I've been knowing him for the same time, I'm still not as close to him as Bullet, but I still a very close to him.
"King. How you doin'?"
"I'm good. How was it in Russia?"
"Man, all these years I've had money, and I've never been there. It was coo', and I've never had Russian pussy. That was good. " We both laughed.
