I looked over the balcony of my apartment in Harlem as I waited for Smoke to pull up so we could go find who been looking for me. I been in town for a day and you would think word would get around that I'm back but I guess not.

I spotted Smoke from above and yelled down to him, he threw up his arms and I put out my blunt cause he would be up in a few.

"Where's the baby?"

"Uhh... in Miami."

"What? You left her with your cousin or something?"

"Nah.."

"Well... who you left her with? I mean we fam you can tell me."

"Yeah I know, but I don't wanna put it out yet. It may be official, may not be. But she's a good girl I trust her."

"Damn, you must love her too. You 3,000 miles away from ya baby."

I shrugged. "She cool peoples, but you found out who looking for me?"

"Oh yeah, some niggas name Julio and Kentrell."

"Well let's go get them motherfuckers"

"Kairi i've gave you cookies, milk, juice, chicken tenders. What else do you want?" I rubbed my temples because she was crying nonstop and getting louder and louder, I gave her everything she could possibly want, but I knew she wanted her dad. I was so mad that he left me and her cause I didn't think this would go well in the beginning. I haven't heard from him yet and this whole thing was worrying me sick.

"I sleepy"

"Okay, yes maybe it's time to go to bed."

I went to start her bath and gathered all of her things and that's when my phone started ringing. I quickly went to answer the phone and I was relieved when I heard David's voice.

"Hey boo."

"Hey David."

"How is everything? How's Kairi?"

"It's going, I'm about to give her a bath and she's going to sleep since she said she's sleepy."

"Did she cry?"

"Did she? For almost a hour, she just stopped not too long ago. Hold on I'm putting you on speaker while I wash her up. Kairi!"

"Yes!"

"C'mon pooh, let's wash."

"Hey baby."

"Daddy?"

I nodded. "He's on the phone."

"What you doing lil girl?"

"I washing, and I had cookies."

"Cookies? Make sure you get the sugar bugs out tonight."

"Otay daddy"

I took the phone off speaker and sat on the toilet while she played in the water. "When are you coming back?"

"Possibly tomorrow."

"I'm guessing whatever you needed to take care of is done?"

He sighed and I knew it was something bad. "Don't worry boo, i'll be home soon."

"How can I not."

"Think of it is.... after this I'm never coming back again."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm relocating to Miami."

"Really? That's great!"

"Yeah but if I'm not back tomorrow, I'm settling out of this place. Possibly gonna move my furniture down there in a storage, I'm not sure yet."

"What's wrong with my place?"

"It's small-"

"Well it's for me. I know your a man and men like big things." I played with my nail and watched Kairi carefully

"Your place is fine for now, but eventually we'll get out and get into something by some water so I can get jet skis.. maybe even a yacht." He chuckled and I laughed along.

"You really want big boy things, but hey.. I'm not knocking you."

I heard talking in the background and he got quiet. "Aye, i'll talk to you tomorrow okay? I gotta go."

"Oh, okay. Bye, and be safe."

"I will, bye."
