Aria
"You better not throw that shit boy." Kentrell pointed to taylin, who was smiling hard as hell as he held up his toy car. Within seconds he cocked his hand back and threw the toy at him, causing me to burst out laughing. It hit kentrell In the forehead, and he stood up mugging taylin then chased his playfully out of the room.
Something started vibrating under my leg, and I rose it up seeing Kentrell's phone ringing. What the hell ben want at this time of night? I thought to myself.
"Hello?"
"Speaking of the devils daughter." I could hear kd mumbled and I smacked my lips.
"Shut the hell up kd"
"Give yb the phone." Ben told me and I called Kentrell's name. He came in the room with taylin on his hip, which I admired so much. He's young as hell, and most of the niggas around his age won't even call or check up on their kids.
"Wassam—Hell?—swea!—wea y'all at?—bet. That nigga gone get enough." Kentrell spoke into the phone and I rose my eyebrow. He hung the phone up and sat taylin down before going to his closet and throwing a black T-shirt on and his black Air Force ones.
"Kentrell!"
"Kentrell!"
"Hmm?"
"Where you going? It's bout dark as hell"
"I gotta step out for a while, Imma be back tho. You'll watch taylin fa me?" He asked and I nodded, still questioning why he had to leave at 9 o'clock at night.
"Does this involve.."
"...yea"
"I thought I told you leave that shit alone kentrell! You gone end up getting killed" I shook my head as he walked over to me, letting his face meet mine.
"No matter how hard I try, I can't leave this shit alone Ari. It always comes back to bite me in the ass, and it ain't good. Imma be back before 12 aight?" I nodded, "He shouldn't be hungry or nothing because I fed him before you got here." He said and I nodded again.
He pulled me up, and wrapped his arms around my waist, swinging me back and forth. He kissed my forehead before pecking my lips twice. Taylin came tapping my leg, and I bent down to pick him up.
I walked behind Kentrell with taylin on my hip, to the front door. He turned around, kissing me one last time, and kissed taylin forehead.
"I luh you."
"I love you too, kentrell."
"I luh you man." He said to taylin, and he started smiling and bouncing up and down. I closed the door as he left the house and looked at taylin
"Guess it's just me and you buddy"
Taylin pointed to the ground , letting me know that he wanted to get down so I put him down and followed him as he played around the house. As I watched Tay Tay play around, I couldn't help but think about Kentrell. I wanted nothing but the best for him but it's like every time he tries to get away from the street life it catches up to him. After about an hour of playing, Taylin walked over to where I sat on the chair and rubbed his eyes before reaching for me
"Somebody's sleepy" I said with a laugh, picking him up and stood up "let's go lay down"
I took Taylin into kentrell's room and laid him on the bed with the light off. I laid beside him and turned the tv on; turning it to paw patrol. Not even a whole episode went by before I looked down to see Taylin knocked out, making me smile. After he fell asleep it didn't take me long before I was knocked out as well.
