"So you gonna act like you ain't hear ya phone ringing?" Millions said with a deep serious tone. I rolled my eyes.

"I was taking a shower."

"For the past three hours?" I bit my lip.

"Why are you even calling me I thought you was mad."

"After you said hello I was about to hang up. I only called to make sure ya ass still breathing."

"Well why didn't you hang up?" I put the covers over my head. These cramps was fucking up my mood.

"What's popping?" He asked with a bit of annoyance.

"Not my pussy. Millions what you want?"

"I can't call up on you and check on ya?"

"I swear your bipolar like two days ago you got mad because I told you facts so what you do? Oh yeah you hang up on me."

"Oh those was facts?" He did a sarcastic chuckle.

"Hell yeah. Like you mad because I didn't tell you something that concerned MY daughter. I can't wrap my head around that shit." I said emphasizing 'my'

"Oh so you basically saying cuz Naelean ain't mines I don't gotta worry about shit that concerns her?" I didn't say nothing.

"Aight then when you find ya baby father doing the shit I'm doing for Naelean and you then hit me up." With that the line went dead just like the other night. I sucked my teeth and went to sleep trying to sleep off these cramps.

"I don't think I said anything wrong." I told Jazmine crossing my legs then sipping on my lemonade.

"You said everything wrong." She said rolling her eyes. We were at some new bar she had found and wanted me to go with her. I decided to get her opinion on Millions and I situation.

"And that would be?" I said raising my eyebrow.

"Nic I get that's ya kid but you failed to realize Millions is feeding her, Millions is putting a roof ova her head, The nigga just spent atleast 3k on a birthday party she probably ain't gonna remember, Millions brought her a lot of shit like toys, shoes, clothes. He adores that girl. Shit they adore each other You would have thought Naelean was his because of the way he acts with her. You've failed to realize Meek is doing the shit a dad should do for Naelean. That's why he feels offended."

I bit my lip thinking. I didn't say anything. Well technically I didn't ask him to do none of that he took it upon himself.

"Let me guess. You scared that they gonna get attached and if something happens between the two of y'all then Naelean gonna get hurt in the process and blah blah blah?" Jazmine said before drinking some of her martini.

"Yeah? Nana is already asking about her dad you know she's getting older and she's noticing her peers have things she doesn't. I just don't want her getting confused. Your right Meek does play the whole dad role but its weird for me."

"First talk to the man and apologize because you came a little harsh. Try to understand where his coming from. And let Naelean have her happiness. And last I'm bad at advice." She said I laughed rolling my eyes.

"Don't you breast feed?" I asked watching her take a drink her drink.

"My baby will have to drink the formula because mama is getting lit tonight!" She said giving me a goofy smile. We stayed quiet just ordering drinks back to back.
