Call On Me

down

Arianna

"Arianna? Damn it's been so long" He rubbed his waves, showing that perfect smile that used to light up my life.

Yesterday when he was on the phone with Aaron he told him he wanted to see me. I sat next to Aaron the whole time with the phone on speaker to hear the whole conversation.

"How yo sister doin?"

I shook my head at Aaron for him not to mention that I'm around.

"She good. Wanna link her?"

"Yeah actually. Put her on the phone"

Aaron looked at me then back at the phone "she not here right now. Come out BR and send me the addy to ya telly and I'll let her know"

"Bet. Aight see you tomorrow lil bro?"

"Yeah. Be safe slatt" ... yeah this nigga been around Kentrell for 2 days and already talk like him.

I cancelled my day with the babies today to see D'Andre. I called an uber this morning after mentally prepping myself the whole ride to the hotel.

I don't like sneaking around Babyjoe back but he wasn't answering my phone calls earlier. I feel like this something a boyfriend should know, if his girl seeing her ex and this not something to say over text so I guess I'll tell him afterwards.

I stood in his hotel room completely shocked seeing his face again. He looked completely the same as last time I seen him.

"D'Andre .." I couldn't even form a sentence without crying.

He is still alive.
Breathing.
In the flesh.

I couldn't believe my eyes right now. It was too good to be true. He pulled me into a hug that I jerked away from. "Why you lie to me? How?" Is all my brain could process to make out of my mouth. So many questions were killing me for answers.

His smile dropped as his face softened, "It's alot. It wasn't like I wanted to"

I wiped my face of tears "Wanted to? Nigga You faked yo death! I was depressed for days knowing you was gone and yo family and tell me bout the funeral" I threw the airquotes around the last word. "Do you know how that destroyed me? Inside and out"

He backed up from Me "Me too. I was hurtin too" BULLSHIT.

"I loved you with everything in me and you changed up for some hoes when I needed you most"

When my daddy died the closest person to me was Dre and around that time is when he walked out on me too. I understand my grieving over my father was a real long time but ain't that what friends and lovers are for? To stick around when you need them.

"Arianna I left cali cause yo daddy .." ge sighed, looking around "I aint even posed to be telling you this shit bruh. He knew his days was numbered so we had a talk one day at his trap. He told me to leave you alone for good or its money on my head too. I moved to Chicago to live wit my grandma"

"Broooo he liked you. That don't even sound like my daddy" I scrunched my face up in disbelief that nigga would even pin something like that on my daddy.

He grabbed my shoulders harshly shaking me "It is though!"

Okay even if he didn't like him that's still not a reason to leave Cali and lie about your whereabouts. "So why you fake yo death?"
