"Don't fall in love with someone who says the right things. Fall in love with someone who does the right things." -Keyshia Cole
Chris POV:
Royalty getting her you know has me bothered in a thousand different ways. That's why I need to talk to her. I would have Mya do it but she barely knows her so that's awkward. And that's my baby I want her know she can come to me in any situation.
"Royalty." I knocked on her door.
"Come in!"
"You just woke up?"
"No I been up for a minute." She said turning down her music, she was playing Boyz II Men's 'Can You Stand The Rain.'
I used to sing it to her to calm her down as a baby, sometimes when she want's to be up under me I sing it to her. I even sung it at Nia's funeral, She hated the song at first but when Royalty was about 4 she sung the chorus and ever since that day Nia loved the song.
"You need anything?"
"Daddy just because I'm bleeding doesn't mean you have to baby me." She laughed.
"I'm sorry this is all new to me." I shook my head, sitting at the bottom of her bed by her feet.
"What's up?"
"I just wanted to come talk to you."
"About me growing up." She said putting air quotations up.
"Yeah." I chuckled. "I just want you to know now that you got your.."
"Period?" She smiled helping me out. This is so weird.
"Yeah... Now that you got that you're body will start to fill out because this a step to you becoming a woman. Boys are already approaching you because you're beautiful and because I'm ya daddy." I said making her laugh. "But in all seriousness, niggas going to want you for ya body now. Nowadays females will want you to so look out for them type of people not that you can date anyway. You ain't dating until I'm dead, then you'll become a widow so therefore that's when you can date."
"We are not married, that's incest. Do we look white to you?"
"In this situation we are because ain't no one dating you, I'm your boyfriend."
"Fine continue." I noticed her irritation.
"Look RoRo I love you with all my heart, you are all I have. I just want you to be happy so if the luxury of having a boyfriend on top of everything I do for you, then gone head and date but I have to approve of him first. Don't ever bring in a nigga like myself." I said looking her in the eyes so she can understand I'm serious.
"Why? You're a good person... Caring, intelligent, generous, ambitious, and so on."
Her speaking about me with such words made my day. People always think I'm some sort of monster which I'm not. Every word that she said, is who I am. The real Christopher.
"Okay let me put it this way. Don't deal with a Breezy type of nigga."
"I got you." She laughed.
