"Brandon if you don't stop" I laughed trying to get out of his embrace.
We were at the mall shopping for a bit and this man was trying to tickle me.
"Why?" He said.
"Cause we're in public Brandon" I said trying to unloosen his grip.
"Man so? What that gotta do with us?" He said sucking his teeth.
"Nigga you old as hell stop trying to act younger" I told him causing him to let go and mug me.
"Who the fuck you calling old?" He said looking me up and down.
"You! Now come on" I said walking away heading inside Coach. I needed a new purse so why not buy it today?
"You really about to buy another purse? I just bought you one like two days ago" He said walking in behind me.
"First of all it was a month ago and second of all your lovely daughter Nala decided she needed it more so she took it" I said playfully rolling my eyes.
"I swear to god these kids too damn spoiled even though they're not" He shook his head.
I loved that the kids are his weakness. The fact that I'm actually with the father of all my kids and we're actually happy almost 20 some years later makes me feel like I'm on top of the world.
My childhood wasn't an ideal one. Most people don't know but my parents were struggling addicts. There was a lot of times where I had to find a way to make some money so I could feed myself.
They were always fighting both verbally and physically. Father always cheating and my mother never did anything. At times I thought she didn't care.
When she finally divorced him I was surprised but of course what was the point if they were still dealing with each other all while fucking everyone else for their fix.
So growing up I always told myself I wasn't going to live like that. I know I was worth more than that. Which is the reason why every time Brandon cheated I left. I didn't bother to hear his bullshit ass apology or empty promises.
And I'm glad I did what I did because I don't think we would be where we are now if I had given in so easily.
I was now with the man of my dreams and the love of my life who loved me and our kids more than life itself and for that I'm forever grateful.
"You made them that way" I shrugged grabbing the purse I wanted.
I was about to go pay when he snatched it out my hand.
"You know there ain't no paying with me around" He said walking off to the register.
