One Week Later Yamire

I was sitting at home all bored since August was at work and he was still getting the silent treatment. I was going to cook, but there was no food in the house, so I threw on some clothes and went to the supermarket. When I parked the car I threw the blanket over my babies car seat and walked into the store. I bought some eggs, bacon, potatoes, hot wings, hot dogs, hamburger meat, chicken, and pops. I got some baby formula, rice, and bottles. When I finally made it to the checkout line the cashier was fine ass hell. He was about 6'5, had nice baby curls, deep dimples, and brownish grayish eyes.  He kept smiling at me while he rang up my groceries. "That will be $95.46." I pulled out my wallet and swiped the card. "Aww look at him he's so adorable." he smiled referring to Javari. "Thank you so much." "Excuse me for asking, but is his dad in his life?" I sighed "Yeah he is, but he's a real punk nigga." "I can see that." he pointed to my face. I slightly covered the scar on my cheek and put my groceries in the buggy. "Look ma if you ever need somebody to talk to just call me. Names Khalise and here's my number. He gave me a piece of paper and then I left. When I got to the house August was just getting off and he was cleaning up the house. I was a little shocked because he never ever cleaned before. He was busy vacuuming when I walked in and set the groceries and the car seat on the counter. He cut it off when he saw us. He grabbed Javari's carseat and took him out "Hey daddy's boy" he gave em a kiss on the cheek then put em in the play pin. He started putting the things away still not saying a word to me. "So you just gone act like I'm not here?" I gave him the bitch what face. "Man... You been ignoring me all week don't start that shit bruh." "Man fuck you August you a sorry ass excuse of a man and daddy." I grabbed the diaper bag, but August snatched it out my hands. "See that's what the fuck I be talking about you always talking a bunch of shit and I'm tired of it Yamire. Don't ever question my man hood again, and bitch don't you ever say I ain't a good father because I take care of mine. Now if I was a sorry excuse for a man I wouldn't be taking therapy to get myself some help for you. Also if I wasn't a real man I would've left a long damn time ago when you got pregnant, but I fucking stayed cause I love you and my son, but you just too stupid to see it." he walked outside and slammed the door behind him. I stood there biting my lip holding back tears because I felt really bad. The baby was crying again and I knew he only wanted his daddy, so I wrapped him up and took him outside. When I closed the door he didn't turn around at all he just continued to smoke. "Take my son back in the house Yamire its too cold for both of y'all to be out here." I didn't listen I walked right up next to him. "C'mon Aug you know he will only stop for you." I pleaded. "Can you take him please?" I begged, but got no response he just looked straight ahead. I turned around and started walking back in the house crying I couldn't hold back anymore I felt like I was loosing him when I got close to the door he turned around. "Yamire wait.." he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me and Javari. He laid his chin in the crock of my neck and started humming as we rocked a little. "You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy when the skies are gray." He kept singing until Javari was sleep. "I love you." he kissed my cheek and made me smile big.
