"Baby calm down, mama is right here." I said trying my best to get Amani to stop crying, but she wouldn't budge. I'd tried giving her a bottle, her pacifier, I checked her pamper, tried singer, dancing, tried to put her to sleep, the whole 9 yards, but she wouldn't stop. She hollered loudly and her face was turning red. I didn't know what to do right now, so I picked up my phone getting ready to call my mother in law for help. Andre walked into the room before I could do so and stopped me.

"What's wrong wit my baby?" he said taking her from my arms and cradling her into his chest gently. Her loud wails started to go away and her tears soon stopped falling as she closed her eyes as if she was tired. I tossed my phone back onto the couch and rolled my eyes at the sight. I guess Amani was truly a daddy's girl at such a young age. She was over a month now.

"You jealous?" Andre asked as he stuck his tongue out at me. He stood on his feet rocking her back and forth in his arms while I watched them from the couch. It was good that Amani loved her father, but goddamn. I held her ass for 9 months straight, and she insisted on giving me the most hell. Andre didn't do shit through the whole pregnancy, but he gets all of the love and silence.

We were in the den of Andre's old condo. We decided that we'd stay here until we were going to move away from Miami to start fresh. It was pointless to buy a house now and then move again. I hadn't told anyone about our plans of moving yet, but I wanted to talk to my best friend about it first. I had wanted to tell my mom first, but then decided against it because she might not approve. Today after Paris leaves her class, they're coming over here. I was hoping to get some encouraging words from my bestfriend before spreading the word. I didn't know if I'd cook or order take out for dinner.

"Nope." I said and got up to go into the back bedroom. I went inside and pulled Andre's t-shirt from over my head, leaving me in nothing but my underwear and bra. I threw it into the dirty clothes bin and went in search for something cute and warm to wear today. It was a brand new year, and it was finally starting to feel like it. 2015, lord does time fly quickly. The end of my year was horrible, so hopefully the beginning of this one will make up for it.

I went into the bathroom after I'd picked an outfit for today and started to get ready. I settled for a pair of acid black, high waist jeans that I'd left here from months ago, Andre's white and red Bulls's t-shirt that I tied in the back, and a pair of fire red uggs. I went into the bathroom and took care of my personal hygiene before getting in the shower next. I made sure to tie my hair up first.

As I was cleaning off my body, the door opened to the shower and I nearly screamed. I calmed down after seeing that it was only Andre, but I continued to cover up my body. I wasn't self-conscious, but he was just being a jerk in the situation. He could have knocked , but then I had to realize who I was referring to. Andre never knocks when it comes to being private.

He stood in the doorway as his eyes traveled over my body. He was only in sweatpants and a regular t-shirt. He smirked once he saw the glare on my face. "Mind if I join you?" he asked while licking his pink lips and allowing his eyes to roam every part of my body again. I was getting aroused and almost gave in, but I shut it down quickly. We still hadn't had sex yet after the past 2 months or so. He could wait.

"Get out." I mumbled before grabbing the handle to the shower, shutting the door closed in his face. I could hear his laughter as he left out of the bathroom, leaving me to finish what I'd started in here. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and went on to finish bathing my body like I was before being interrupted.
