"Can we please get something to eat now? I asked
"You know we aren't going nowhere until that paper done". He said
"That's why I asked I'm finishing up now".
"Well hurry that ass up so we can go we been in this apartment since yesterday. I'm tired of being in this mutherfucker".
"Shut up I'm done cry baby where we going to get something to eat from at 10:39 at night"?

"Only one place we go to this late Mrs. Creoles I just love her food".

"Well hurry up and am I coming back here or you worried about your daddy coming over and seeing me?

Sliding on my Ugg's and a sweater"I kind of still haven't told him or Jayden about you yet".

"What you mean you haven't told them"?

"Just what I said I haven't told them about us".

"So, I'm good enough to fuck, pay your rent and buy everything you ask me to but you can't tell your Pops and Jayden about me?

"Shakey what you want me to say. All we been through I just want this time to be right before I tell anyone".

"Man whatever, we been officially back together for a year and some change have I made any more mistakes?

"I just don't want to feel how you made me feel last time".

He walks out slamming the door and breaks a vase making me jump I just lay back on the bed with my eyes closed 10 minutes later I get a text.

DaddySHAKEY: If You Hungry I'm in The Parking Lot Still

I got up got my keys and left out my apartment activating my alarm

Once I got in the truck he locked the doors and eased into traffic

The drive to Miss Creole was silent and knowing Shakey stubborn ass he was thinking of some real hurtful shit to say and something that a piss me off and for 4 ½ years I been dealing with him

He was my first everything and my brothers best friend and I know I had no business talking to him but somethings just felt right I can't see myself without him but I know a man gone be a man and we done been through some shit even having a 2-year-old daughter and we been on and off for 4 almost 5years. I just wish he a see where I'm coming from and if I didn't love him I wouldn't deal with his shit like I do.

We arrived at the restaurant and was seated immediately still not a word from either one of us Ms. Sheila the owner came over

"Hello, my two love birds I just added something to the menu do u guys want that or your usual?
"I'll have what you just added and you know she eat the same thing every time we're here" He said

"I will get that right out to yaw"

"You still not speaking to me what do I have to do to fix it"? I asked

"You know if I had family they a know about you and for us to be in this shit this long I don't know why It's still a secret that we together".

"Can you just see where I'm coming from in the beginning we were fine with this just us knowing we we're together not to mention the shit you put me through and we agreed on not speaking on it but, it plays a part in why I still haven't told them about you".

We sat in our phones until our food came and even when it came it was still silent after we ate we got back in his truck and we headed back to my condo when we got there we sat soaking in the silence

"Are you coming back in"? I asked

"Nah, I'd see u later"He said

He leaned in and gave me a kiss and once I got into my apartment. He pulled out of the parking lot and guess what that was a year ago, he completely stopped answering my calls and when I got to his apartment on this side of town he was never there.  I don't know where I went wrong or even if I'm the one in the wrong but why run from something you want. I just been too worried about him I been neglecting myself, so I figured I'd go shopping or something to just get out and do something for myself. I'm almost done with school so I've been wanting to get a new hair color maybe red and get some layers cut. I'm letting it breath from the sew ins. While getting clothes out my cell started to ring

"Hello, who dis"? I said

Jordan is that how you answer the phone for your father?

Looking at my screen funny

"Pops who number is this"?

This is my new number I had to get another number my old hoes were calling and playing on the other phone.

"Daddy you play too much wassup what you need big dawg?

I ain't want shit but my grocery list ready for you my Frigidaire empty as hell.

"Daddy, I just went last week".

I entertained a lot last week

"Bye daddy, you are playing too much today sent me a pic of your list I'm shopping on your side of town today.  I'll pick them up at that Whole Foods down from your house and drop them off".

Another thing JoJo I Haven't had to pay your rent since your freshman year if you need money why you didn't call?

"Daddy what are you talking about?"

This the second month they say your rent wasn't paid on time and thought something was wrong with you cause you one of their tenants that always pay ahead of time so I paid last month and this month.

"Daddy, Finals it just slipped my mind just been stressful I'll bring you your money when I drop your groceries off".

You don't have to just make sure it doesn't happen again.

"I hear you daddy just send me that pic and I'd be there after my hair appointment".

I finally showered and got dressed I needed to head to my appointment. Once I got there Suzie ass was nowhere to be found did I forget to mention my best friend from kindergarten literally grew up with me right next door her father and mines are best friends and business partners. We both grew up with single dads with ambition and made a better life for us. She took the easy route went to cosmetology school for hair and makeup and her dad bought her a shop and she's been doing damn good at it.

Talking to receptionist

"Do you know where Sue is I'm her 10:00 appointment?"

She stepped out she should be back in no time" Her receptionist said

I sat and waited on Sue for almost 30 minutes until she walked her ass in

"I been waiting on you forever what you been doing?

I told you I got a new lil boo and he took me for breakfast dang get off my nuts. I thought your appointment was 11 o'clock?

"No bitch, it was 10 and who is this new boo and when do I meet the nigga that's got you late to my hair appointment?

When I feel the time is right you will like him because yawl a lil similar in the personality department and he loves to get his money just like you so I know yawl would hit it off.

"Well damn you dating a me or what you secretly want a nigga or something? I laughed

Don't play you got too much ass for my liking and for you to not have no work done I be wondering how you wipe that big ole' ass.

"You know my daddy from New Orleans all that gumbo and cornbread and cornbread fed is way better then rice and cabbage". I laughed                        

Once she got through with my hair. I was on my way to Whole Foods for my dad's groceries, so I proceeded to the store. I finally got there and looked at his list. The man had the nerve to say 3-whole cases of Moet and not the 50 dollar bottles the platinum bottles that was 100 dollars apiece. "I wanted my money back with interest he need to not entertain a different woman every day of the week the man need a new hobby besides fucking the nice-looking ladies around the neighborhood" I said to myself.

Once I was done, I checked out and headed to my father's house.
