Chapter 40- Beginning To Endings🤘🏾

Ayona

Today was day. The day that Daystar and I would supposedly start over.

I was nervous. I knew I was prone to always fucking things up, but this was something I desperately needed.

I needed happiness in my life. Not just happiness for myself, but I wanted someone to share it with.

I was always used to keeping to myself, feeling the need to keep walls up in order to keep from getting hurt, but all that did was isolate me further from a better life.

Whether I wanted to admit it or not, I was stuck. At least in my personal life, I was.

I wanted that one person, I could wake up to, the one person who I absolutely had to tell everything to—good or bad.

I wanted Daystar to be that person.

I sighed, rocking Tamika in my arms. "I hope I don't mess this up for us." Innocently, she cooed. Even though, it'd been a meaningless gesture, it gave me some encouragement.

Baby girl was growing fast, each day that went by, she seemed to resemble her father more—at least, that's what I thought. Daystar, of course, thought she took after me far more.

Our plan to keep Tamika safe with Porsha and Keem, was scheduled to start anytime soon, so I wanted to spend as much time with Mika as possible.

Daystar had spent every night with her, his way of spending time with her and at the same, be able to take care of business during the day.

I was going to miss her, part of me felt anxious about the thought of leaving her, but we had a family threat that needed to be dealt with.

I kissed her forehead. The familiar sound of her bedroom door opening, caused me to look back.

"How my favorite girls?" Daystar walked in, his arm over my shoulders, he kissed my forehead before leaning down to plant one on Mika.

"Keem and Porsha got here awhile ago. Their things just got put up," he urged gently.

I knew that was his way of telling me to say my goodbyes, but this was my baby. Tears welled in the corners of my eyes.

"I can't just abandon her, Day." He took her from me in one arm, the other going around my shoulders.

Pulling me in to his chest, I snuggled my face against him breathing him in. "We not abandoning nobody, Yona. As soon as we get to the bottom of all the nonsense, together gone be forever. I promise."

I pulled away from his chest looking up at him, then at Tamika. I nodded. "Okay." With one final sniffle, we showered her in kisses before Porsha joined us.

"How you two holding up?"

Nodding, "I'm fine, I'm just gone miss her so much."

"She gone be with her auntie, you know I won't let nothing happen to her."

Daystar rocked Tamika in his arms, whispering things to her while Porsha and I went over the need-to-know's.

They were really quick reminders, seeing as she was always here through at least fourth percent of Tamika's care.

After final hugs—and kisses for Tamika, Daystar and I left.
