I come home a little later than expected.
Locking the door behind me I kick my shoes off. The theme song of Jane the virgin was playing, that immediately told me Ida was in the living room watching tv.
Walking in I find her crisscrossed on the couch with a textbook on her lap.
When I step closer I realize she's studying.
Without much thought, I cloud over her and kiss her forehead. She tilts her head back, then smiles looking just like her mother. "Hey mom" She says.
"Hi baby. Whatchu doing?" I look from her to the tv. There was a scene where they were making out. I scrunch up my face.
Ida laughs. "They're adorable stop" She waves me off. "Yea, yea" I tease. We converse for a little and I catch up on the tea with Jane the virgin before heading towards the kitchen.
I'm dehydrated as fuck, I didn't stop for nothing driving back so I grab myself a glass of water drinking it all within the second.
"Zisel honey, set the table please!" I hear Nicki shout from upstairs. "One-sec ma I'm on the last level!" Zisel responds. I roll my eyes.
When that second turns to 20 mins there's gonna be a problem.
After sneaking in a spoonful of rice I lay my keys on the counter and jog up the stairs.
I hear gunshots and explosions as I'm walking near Zisel's room.
"The plan was to split up, what are you doing?!" She shouts, aggressively pressing the buttons on her game controller.
"No kid you bouta make us lose go somewhere!" With an annoyed groan she shoots another shot causing a loud boom to sound from her room.
"Z-" I attempt to call her name, only to be spoken above. "I swear if we lose I'm done!"
Making myself present I open her door even more. "Zisel" I speak again.
"I bet you 20 dollars I can beat this level on my own" She smirks, eyes never once leaving the flat screen.
"Am I not talking to you Imani?" Fed up I snatch the controller out her hand and turn the shit off.
"What do you want?!" She shouts angered once the screen goes blank. "Watch your tone" She rolls her eyes.
"This woman turned off my game y'all I didn't die" She glares at me speaking into her little microphone set.
"Don't fucking test me little girl, I'm already pissed off. Go set the table now!" Sucking her teeth she gets up from the bed sluggishly then throws her microphone headset, nearly breaking it as it hit the headboard.
When she walks by I snatch her ass up. "Why you gotta attitude today?" I ask. One minute she's fine then the next she wanna act up.
"Why are you back?" She looks up with a scowl. My jaw tightens as our mini staring contest drags. "...One of these days it's not gonna look pretty for you" I let her go with a slight shove.
I don't know what happened between those last two days but this new energy she got finna get me locked up.
When I get to my room I find the door of the master bathroom slightly open. I can hear the splashing of water and muffled chattering.
"I'm home" I speak dryly. "Mommy!!!" My little one yells excitedly making me chuckle.
Taking my cap off I walk over to the bathroom. Nicki has her back to me as she gives Nadine her nightly bath.
"Hi mommy" Nadine waves, foamy soap sliding down her arm.
"Mommy guess what I learn today!" Nadine grins. "What'd you learn girly?"
