Rashad
Alaysia look so peaceful slumped in my bed with Micah snuggled all up under her. I watched them sleep for a while wishing things with Lay could be as peaceful as they look.
"Why are you staring at me Shad" Alaysia spoke without opening her eyes.
"How you know I was staring...I thought you was sleep"
"I was..but I can feel you staring. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just enjoying the view" I smiled slightly. Today was a bitter sweet day. I was staring because I wanted to burn this image in my memory. I want to cherish this feeling of having my family together, happy, and peaceful, because in a few hours my family will once again be in pieces for the next month. Lay went back to sleep so I went to the kitchen to make a nice breakfast for them to wake up to. Cooking had me in a zone, lost in my thoughts...
I could never understand why it was so hard to make my family whole. It never seemed this hard for my parents. Shit they got married young and had two kids, dad had his career mom stayed home and did her thing but they stayed together. No cheating, not dippin out on each other, no schemes, lies, and for damn sure not drugs. I shook my head. It's another day and age though, I guess it was my fault for thinking it would be easy. I always thought I'd be successful following their example but that clearly wasn't the case. I had a kid at 21 and just now getting to the relationship 3 years later; and it's looking rocky at best. I just hate having to be the one that has to break my family in order to fix it. Shits wild, all I know is it's gotta work. I just need Alaysia to flow with me Something gotta shake.
"Bacon" Micah says appearing next to me. I scooped him up so he could watch while I finished cooking.
"Oh yea. We got bacon my man" I gave him a small piece that was already cooling on a plate and hear Alaysia coming out the room.
"Mm breakfast...this is nice"
"I thought I would hook y'all up real quick" I told her and sat Micah on the counter.
"How sweet of you" she said with just a little sarcasm but I ignored it. I knew she was still salty about last night, finding out Micah was being snatched from her again I'm sure had her in her feelings but it is what it is.
"Mhmm, you got any plans today?"
"Nah not really. Getting ready for this interview"
"That's wassup. Where at?"
"The Coney, couple blocks away"
"I feel it, nice little hustle"
"yeah...right" she smirked unamused. She pulled Micah into her lap and kissed his head. I could tell she was holding back from saying anything.
"Its gonna be ok Lay. Just a little while" I spoke knowing she needed to hear something. Its times like this when I see Alaysia all tore up over loosing Micah that I think maybe she's starting to see that she has a problem and needs help but, then again she was all tore up the last time and did the same thing again. I served up breakfast and we ate quietly, awkwardly. I tried making conversation but Lay wasn't in the mood which was understandable.
"Sooo.. What time is the interview?"
"hmm? oh uh noon..I guess I should start getting ready huh" she said kind of in a zoned out tone.
"Yea, thats probably smart. Don't wanna be late you know"
"yea..let me go get ready" she said and sat Micah back on the counter to sit while she went to get dressed.
Alaysia
I rode passenger on the way to the Coney in silence, staring out the window. Rashad keep looking at me like he wanna say something, or wants me to say something but I just don't know what to say. He taking my baby again over something he don't understnd. Everytime we get into it makes me rethink being with him. It's been nothing but arguments and him tryna change me the whole time.
"You uh..you good?" he asks pulling into the parking lot.
"I'm straight" I say real dry and turn around to kiss Micah in the back seat.
"ok big boy, mommy's gotta go get a job ok? give me kisses" I say and get out the car.
"Um imma go run a couple errands while you in there just call me when you done aight?" he says.
"Yup" I said dry again. I wasnt tryna be petty but Rashad was just really under my skin. He's the last one that should dare treat me like a child. I been making it out here on my own without him just fine. I'm good and Micah been good, Rashad see me enjoying myself and come tryna control shit. It was better when I was single.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I cant be thinking about this now. I gotta focus on this interview. Hopefully that Avery girl is here and can put in a good word for me, Sure enough Avery is at the counter when I walk up.
"Hey sis, long time no see wassup?"
"I'm here for an interview actually"
"Really? Omg I knew that name was familiar on the application, I'm doing your interview! Come on back" she says all excited. Thank you God I think. Maybe that's a good sign.
