Prominent Deceit

Shay
The other night with Gee was crazy, but I know I couldn't get caught up and dickmatized all over again I had to keep my head on straight and stay focused.

I was just dropping Gia off at her new school, she wanted her daddy to take her but Gee hasn't been home in two days so I'm guessing him and Skye are fixing things which is good.

I stopped to get me a Latte and then decided to take a nice walk through Willard Park, it was a beautiful fall day the leaves were all yellow and orange falling from the trees. I loved nature and being outside in fields woods or parks.

I felt hands grip on my waist and I closed my eyes and smiled thinking it was Gee because I sent him a text letting him know where I'd be, but when I opened my eyes it was only to see Tate,

My heart sunk and my stomach started to turn in the worst way he threw his arm around my shoulders and started to walk with me.

"Mhmmm" he sniffed my neck and smirked,

"I've missed you so much baby" he stated,

" Tate wha-what are you doing here"

"What do you mean, here in DC?" He asked,
" Where's our daughter my love "

I seen a group of people and the park itself was crowded anyway so I felt a sense of safeness event though some people would watch shit happen.

"You need to go Tate I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner but I'm not going back to Florida with you and you know Gee is Gia's father " I answered.

" Bitch I took care of you and Gia for five years not no muthafucking Gee" he said leaning into my face trying not to make a scene but I too was holding in from snapping.

" That's because I chose not to tell him if he knew he would have been there for his daughter from the start up until now and until the end Tate I am done with you so just go back home " I told him, I pulled away and quickly walked off once I felt kind of far I looked back to check and from afar I seen Tate standing in the same spot I left him.

It creeped me out and just fucked up my day and probably my week, I quickly scurried back to my car and got in, I locked the doors right away as soon as I pulled off I called Gee and hoped he picked up.

"Yo wassup" he said ,

" I was just walking in the park after I dropped Gia off to school and Tate... he walked up to me and put his arm around me, he's crazy Gee I have to get away." I cried.

" Shay calm down where are you?" He asked,

" I'm in the car on my way back to the house"

" Aight hurry up and be safe, I'm on my way there now" he replied.

I made my way to the house when I pulled up I hurried out the car and to unlock the door to let myself in, I locked the door back and went to sit on the couch and wait for Gee to come in.

It didn't take long because about five minutes later he was walking through the door, he came over to the sofa and sat next to me.

"You alright?"

" yeah I'm good... I just know he's crazy and I don't know what he's gonna do but I'm not sticking around for it" I replied,

"Shay your going to stay right here I told you I'll handle this shit"

" But what about Gia? Tate keeps calling her his daughter knowing damn well she's not and I'm not sure if he'll try to harm her or not I just don't know"

I wiped the tears from my face and sat up straight, I didn't wanna seem weak but pretending to be tough at moments or with situations like this is hard.

" Go upstairs shower and relax I'll be back soon, I'm about to go pick Gia up early and drop her off at your mom's place just be calm this bitch nigga ain't finna run shit" he responded before walking out.

I locked up all the doors and windows as he said and made my way upstairs, once in the shower I let the hot water run all down my body and threw my hair I soaked and soaped up my wash cloth and washed my entire body. While rinsing I started to cry because I didn't want Gee getting involved and possibly hurt because of me and then Gia losing her dad.

I broke down letting the water wash it away, I prayed that all went well because I knew what Gee was about to do I wasn't stupid...
