"Shit" I hissed as I accidently closed my front door a little too loudly. It was 5am and I was sneaking into my own house!
As I was making my way to the stairs I heard something from the kitchen fall and it startled me.
"AHH" I screeched as Royalty came from behind the counter while holding a spoon in her tiny hand.
"Eat eat" she cooed while sucking on her bottom lip. My heart yearned. "Cmon, where's ya daddy" I picked her up and started up the stairs. "Slweeping.." She trailed off I nodded as we approached his opened room door.
"Chris" I said sternly. He rolled over onto his back groaning. I then hit him on the back and his eyes shot up at me. "Get up and feed your baby" I said putting her down and as he sat up.
"Where were you last night?" His voice deep and scratchy, my heart fluttered from the memories flooding through my head from the night prior.
"Nowhere"
"Liar"
"So, why aren't you at work again?" I quickly changed the subject as I now stared up at his 6 foot body frame as he stretched. "Because.. you didn't come home last night, so I had to stay here with my baby" He spat while picking her up and walking out of his bedroom.
I just stayed there, in awe. However, I had fun so I really didn't care.
Christopher Brown
All while I was making me and Royalty some cereal, my mind was on Kayla for some reason. I still hadn't told her about that kiss Miracle and I shared.. And I don't plan on it.
A few minutes later, here comes Miracle prancing into the kitchen. "I forgot to tell you, someone moved into your old town home the other day" she randomly said while grabbing an apple from the fridge.
I took a spoon full of cereal nodding my head. "Really? who?"
"I mean, I doubt you know them, Chris.." She chewed on her apple.
"Oh yeah? Hit me wit it" I challenged.
"Alright.. It was a woman. I think her name is Camille or something of the sort" She shrugged while taking another bite of the apple. I just stared at her.
"Who did you just say?"
She gave me a weird look and raised her eyebrow, "I said, I think her name is Camille.. Camille Hathaway to be exact.. Why do you know her?" She questioned.
I closed my eyes tightly with my fists balled up. "Chris.." I heard Miracle's voice call out but I ignored her as I felt my body heat up, then I heard Royalty's voice.
"D-da-daddy" She stumbled over her words, my eyes shot over to her seeing she was done with her cereal. I walked over to her, picked her up and carried her out the kitchen.
"We'll be back later.." I mumbled while brushing past Miracle.
1 HOUR LATER
"You cold?" I asked Royalty as we rode this bus. She shook her head no and I sighed. I haven't seen Camille in 2 years, RoRo never has met her mother. And now that's she back, I have some shit to say to her.
Soon as our stop came, I got off wishing I would've stayed on. My body angrily shivered while walking through the Whistler complex again. I was hoping I did not run into Latasha either.
As I walked in front of my old apartment, with my 2 year old daughter on my hip, and all this animosity in my chest.. I started banging on the door. I didn't give a fuck if it was loud, aggressive or anything.
Suddenly the door snatches open and her face if scrunched up but automatically softens. I was stuck. All the words I wanted to say disappeared, I felt a tear fall down my face.
"Chris i- how did you-
"Don't worry about it" I sniffled and wiped my face. "We gotta talk" I confessed.

"So y'all had sex?" I rolled my eyes as I flopped on my couch. "No Kayla, we didn't" She smacked her lips, "And why not?" I scrunched my face up. "Girl what?"
"Miracle please, we all know Jeffery ass ain't touched you in MONTHS honey"
"And you know this how?" I saw Christina appear in the hallway and I looked over at her and smiled. "Lemme call you back Kayla" Before she could reply I hung up.
"Come here pretty girl" she smiled and pranced into the living room and sat next to me and i wrapped my arms around her.
"We never have mommy and daughter time" I stressed
"Because you're always so busy with work.." she sighed, I started to feel bad and like a bad mother.
"Well how about a movie and getting our nails done?" Her face lit up and she jumped up with excitement.
"Let's go!"
"Okay go get your coat"
