All I Need Is My Baby

Chapter 4: Well, That Was Weird

Matthew POV

I woke up and turned over to my phone and looked at the clock that read 8:11 a.m. I also saw that I had 20 missed calls and 50 text messages from Michelle and 1 text message from Coach Elmor. Damn, what did I miss? I put my phone down and began reminiscing over the crazy nightmare I had last night. Why was I dreaming that? Why Joanna? I never looked at Jo in that way nor did I ever have those type of feelings for her. I tried brushing it off but I couldn't. I decided to call Michelle hoping to get this nightmare out of mind.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Baby!" Michelle answered eagerly.

"It's so good to hear your voice. I miss you so much. Sorry for calling you so early. I literally dropped off Joanna in her room then I went to my Uber and I went straight to sleep when I got back to the hotel."

"It's okay you just had me worried. Was Joanna okay? Last time I spoke to her she told me she threw up."

"Yeah, she's fine. She probably going to wake up with the worst hangover ever. She got so fucked up last night I felt bad for Q." I said while laughing.

"Awww poor Q. Well did you guys have a good time?"

"Yeah, but Q end up leaving early because he said he had some deal to sign with coach. But come to think of it, it was midnight and coach usually don't talk about deals that late." I said with curiosity.

"Maybe coach had somewhere to be the next morning so he just decided to make a deal with Q that night." Michelle said reassuringly

"Ehhh... I don't know baby it's a little fishy. But you're probably right I'll just call him later. I also had this weird ass nightmare."

"About?" Michelle asked.

"It was about...." I was hesitant to tell Michelle about my dream. She's already insecure about certain things and I didn't want to add this to her list. I just said never mind and continued our conversation.

"You sure you don't want to talk about it?" Michelle said with curiosity.

"Yeah, I'm sure babe it's no biggy. Anyways, is Serenity good? Do you need me to send any money for her school items?"

"Oh no baby you're fine. We should be good for this semester. Thank you baby. But the real question is when are you coming back home? We miss you!" Michelle said.

"Awww baby I have two more months to go. Hopefully whatever deal Q signed I could make a deal with coach to send me home early since the season over with." I said.

"Hopefully baby. Well let me go upstairs and approve of Ms. Serenity's outfit. I've been allowing her to dress herself and the items she has chosen to wear for school has been jaw dropping and not in a good way!" Michelle laughed.

"Okay baby, make sure you send me a picture of her outfit! I need to approve as well!"

"Okay baby, I love you. Serenity tell daddy bye."

"Bye daddy! I wuv you and miss you!" Serenity said.

"I love and miss you guys more! Hold it down for me!" I said while hanging up.

Hopefully I can talk to coach about going home early. If I was single then it wouldn't be problem with staying in New York but I have a whole family I need to take care of and I can't do that if I'm up here. I do need to call Q later. I was too drunk at the club to fully realize why he left but now that I'm sobered up I need to find out what all that was about.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to turn on the shower. I got undressed and hopped in. I was in the shower for about 10 minutes then got out and just threw on a white shirt, grey shorts, and a couple of gold diamond chains. I threw in some hair product grabbed a back pack and out the door I went.
