Ckyra's POV
"Aren't you the cutest" I say in my baby voice touching jenae's little nose. She's almost 3months old and she's gotten so big since I last saw her
I'm at Marco's with crystal. My mom told us to just go without her. I don't know why though. I would think she would want to go see her grandchild. I don't know if it's about Marco but that's her business
Hayden's been blowing my phone up but I can't bring myself to answer
Tae hasn't even tried to contact me.
I get a notification. I pick up my phone and see it's from Hayden
Hayden🖤🤞🏽: I'm sorry. I shouldn't of put so much pressure on you the other day. I was just mad that I can't call you mine. But it's cool we can just stay best friends. So just forget...
Delivered now
I press on the message to read the rest.
Hayden🖤🤞🏽: I'm sorry. I shouldn't of put so much pressure on you the other day. I was just mad that I can't call you mine. But it's cool we can just stay best friends. So just forget everything that happened. Please answer so Ik you okay. ❤️
I sigh. He's just so perfect. In his own way
Me: I'm okay. I'm sorry for ignoring you. You didn't deserve that. Let's just move forward x
Almost straight away he replies
Hayden🖤🤞🏽: you at home?
Me:no. I'm at Marco's. I'm staying here for a couple days
Hayden🖤🤞🏽: Ight bet. Tell me when you get back
Me: I will x
I sigh and put my phone down. I haven't talked to crystal much recently
I feel like we've both been caught up in our own lives recently. Still no sign of her dad. He is assumed to be dead. There is literally no trace of him anywhere it is so strange.
I can tell crystal is getting used to it just being her mom, kyron and her. I mean how could she not
Jenae starts making noise and fidgeting in my arms "what's wrong buba?" She just stares up at me
Marco plops himself down beside me in the chair
"Y'all good? She fussing?"he asks
"No. She just being a little weird staring at me"
"She probably just thinking to herself how she would never step out looking like that"
"Shut the fuck up dumb ass. I look fine"
"Mhm Whatever lets you sleep at night"
"If I wasn't holding her I would rock yo shit"
"In yo dreams ky" he gets up going into the kitchen and comes back with two bags of hot Cheetos. He drops them on the chair then puts his arms out for jenae "gimme her. It's time for her nap"
"Okay" I carefully put her in his arms. He walks upstairs then shortly comes back down retaking his seat beside me. He passes me a bag of chips and opens his
"So what's been going on?" He asks
"Nothing really" I open mine and start eating
"I miss being with your annoying ass everyday"
"You do?"
"Course I do. You my other half"
"You don't call me"
"Could say the same thing about you and you know I do"
"Mm"
"Something bothering you what is it"
"Something I gotta sort out on my own"
"It's to do with niggas?"
I just sigh
"Somebody messing you around?"
"Nah. Don't worry I got this"
"You sure?"
"Mhm"
"This why I told yo ass you'n need to be fucking round with none of these bum ass dudes"
I roll my eyes "Marco stop."
"Ight" he chuckles "I'll cool it"
"You and momma got into something?"
"Nah I ain't talked to her in a lil minute. Why?"
"I was just wondering why she didn't come"
"That's her business. If she don't wanna see her granddaughter that's her problem"
I twist my lips to the side "she does talk about her"
"Talking about someone and making the effort to actually see them is two different things"
"I guess"
He digs in his pocket and takes a roll of money out. He peels off three hundred dollar bills and gives it to me
"Marco I don't need this" I say giving it back
"I didn't ask if you needed it. I'm giving it to you"
"You don't need to keep giving me money, you got jenae to worry about"
"So what? I ain't with you all the time no more so I ain't there to give you money"
"You send me money everyday to my account"
"Girl just lemme give my lil sister some money Damn" he chuckles
"You annoying" I say putting the money in my pocket. I don't like taking money from people no matter who it is. It just how I've always been. "What was daddy like?"
Marco puts his phone down and looks at me. I haven't asked about him since I was about 8 years old. I always thought about how my life would be so different if he didn't die
He sighs "he was really protective of us, he wouldn't let anyone mess with us. We was his whole world. Everything he ever did was for us..." his eyes become glossy "he would always make time for us no matter what. Nothing was ever more important. I don't really know what else to tell you... I was still so young" he breaks down into tears
I hug him "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset"
"It's okay. I just miss him" he sniffs
"He's watching over us" He nods "I know he'd be so proud of you. For everything that you've done. You basically raised me. You took care of me and Kayla and made sure we were always good. And now you taking care of shontell and jenae. You making him so proud"
He chuckles "you know you always know how to make me feel better"
"It's what I'm here for" I smile
"I love you"
"Love you too"
