December 30, 1996
"Have you spoken to your father Mykah?" Genesis asked her daughter as she began to pick off the ornaments off the Christmas tree. She hated Christmas. She was trying to get rid of her Christmas tree as soon as possible.
"No." She replied and used her spoon to scoop out the soggy Cheerios that were in her bowl.
"And why not?" Genesis threw the ornament in the cardboard box besides her. "He's been wanting to speak to you."
"If he wanted to speak to me he can walk his ass over here. He lives around the damn corner with his boyfriend." She spat angrily.
"Don't do that. Don't disrespect your father in front of me." She glared at Mykah. "Your father is a great man-"
"You mean a gay man." Mykah interrupted her and rolled her eyes. She got up from out of her chair and placed her bowl in the sink. "A great gay man. A fucking homosexual who cheats on his wife for a fat ass, white trailer trash ass man." She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed. "Like for real Genesis. Who the fuck leaves their wife and kid for a damn man."
Genesis waved her off. "You think um... what's your boyfriends name again..?" She placed her hand on her hip and squinted her eyes. "Malik...no.."
"Ma Stop. You know his name ain't no damn Malik. It's Mason. You should know. You've been eyeing him the whole time he's been here."
"Chile please. Don't nobody want that little ass boy. He's cute. I'll give him that, but-" Genesis lied through her teeth but Mykah quickly interrupted her for the second time.
"Quit the bullshit okay? You like him and I wouldn't be surprised if you seduced him like you do everybody else. You're a fucking hoe, Mom. You fuck anything that has a dick between it's leg." She snapped.
Genesis smirked. "And you think you're not? Where did you think you got your ways from? Huh?" She picked up her glass of wine from off the floor and took a sip, twirling the cup in her hand. "You're just as bad as me MyMy. This isn't the first boy you've bought home and if I'm not mistaken, it certainly won't be the last sweetie. If I'm a hoe then your one too. I hope you told him about-"
"And I won't." Mykah said already knowing what she was going to say,
Genesis' eyes twinkled in amusement. "Why not? You ashamed? Huh?" She walked slowly to where she was standing and spoke softly in her ear. "Don't act like a bitch now."
Mykah pushed her mom back making her stumble backwards. "Ooh. Feisty."
"Stay away from my man bitch. Or we gone have some problems." She threatened.
"No can do baby. Let the best hoe win." She winked & swallowed the rest of her drink. Mykah's nose flared in anger. She thought her mother would've changed when she was gone but she was still a bitch. Rushing towards her, Mykah attacked her mother making her fall on her back, crashing into the Christmas tree.
"I HATE YOU BITCH! I FUCKING HATE YOUR GUTS!" Mykah screamed in rage as she threw punches at her mothers face left and right. Genesis screamed in pain as her own flesh and blood attacked her viciously.
"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK?" Mason's voice boomed and he ran out of the guest room to see what was going on. He swiftly pulled Mykah off of her and she kicked her legs in the air and screamed. "Let me go! Let me go!"
"Calm the fuck down. What the fuck is going on?" He questioned. He was just trying to get him in a nice nap before he heard all the commotion.
"I hate that bitch! I hate her! I'm getting the fuck outta here!" She exclaimed as she rushed into the guest room. Mason glanced at Genesis to see her sitting up wiping the blood off her face. He instantly felt bad and walked over to her.
"You ok?" He asked her as he witnessed her black eye and bloody nose. "Let me get you some tissue okay? Stay here." Walking into the guest room he watched as Mykah filled her luggage up with her clothes.
"What's going on? Where are you going?"
"I told you. I'm leaving. I can't stay in this house any longer. Ima go crazy."
"Baby, tell me what happened." He took her hands to stop her from packing and rubbed her knuckles soothingly. "I know they hurt, you beat her ass."
She chuckled and sniffled. "Me and Genesis have always had this love hate relationship. One day, she's all lovey dovey and the next day she's calling me out my name. Our relationship will never be like other mother and daughter relationships. She treats me like a friend instead of a child. She hates me and I hate her but I love her at the same time because she's my mother and she birthed me. Today I just got to that point where I either beat her ass or let her keep talking shit about me. She was talking about taking you from me and.. and.." she began to choke up, tears forming in her eyes.
"I already told you I would never ever do anything with your mom. I don't love her , I love you. I'm in love with you but it's too soon to leave. Our flight isn't until 3 weeks from now."
"But we can leave, we don't have to stay here." She pleaded with him.
"And go where Mykah? Dalvin only has one room and my parents live in Cali. Just suck it up, forgive her."
"No. Hell no. I'm not forgiving that ungrateful ass bitch. Fuck her." Mykah plopped on the bed and placed her head in her hands. "I can't keep doing this with her. I just can't."
"I'll be right back." He informed her before he walked into the connected bathroom & retrieved the tissue. Walking back into the living room he noticed that Genesis was gone. He didn't feel like walking around her big ass house looking for her so he put the tissue in his pocket instead.
Even though he didn't want to, he felt that it was his duty to check on her. "God please forgive me." He mumbled to himself before he walked up the stairs slowly. He stood still once he heard the shower running in one of the bathrooms and held his breath. His palms were sweaty as he crept down the hallway and stopped in front of the bathroom where the door was slightly open.
He slowly peaked his head through the crack and watched Genesis undress. Everything was moving in slow motion & he felt like he was invading in on her privacy but he couldn't look away. She had coke bottle curves and what really intrigued him was her tattoo that was above her behind. All he was trying to do what see if she was ok, and here he was, checking out his girlfriends mother. He licked over his lips and stepped away from the door quietly.
He felt as if he had just sinned. He didn't wanna like what he had seen but unfortunately he did. Shaking his dirty thoughts out of his mind he proceeded to walk back down the hallway and down the stairs.
On the other end of the door, Genesis had a smirk plastered on her face. She knew he would come, that's why she left the door open in the first place. She heard his footsteps and his heavy breathing before anything. She only had a couple more tricks up her sleeve before he would be begging to fuck her.
She was already winning and the game hadn't even begun.
