"Daddy look at me!" My baby girl shouted as she twirled around. She was in the new dress that Kane just bought for her because she would not let us leave the store until we let her put on the dress.We had been in the mall for a good hour just buying anything my little one asked for, well almost anything. She was spoiled, but to a certain point.
"Oh wow, that's amazing princess."
"Tank you." She said as she went to grab my hand excitedly trying to lead me into another store. I can already tell that she's going to run my pockets dry. "Mommy tinks I be a good dan sir."
" I bet." I watch as my little girl babbles on about who knows what until she looks at me making a little face.
"Your not nistening." She says while having a little pout on her face.
"I wasn't princess, I'm sorry, can you tell me again?" I said picking her up and kissing her cheek then making a little pout. "Please."
"Ok." She went on to tell me about her learning her numbers, making cookies eith her momma, and other little stories that were a lot harder to understand but I followed through.
As were about to enter another store my phone started to ring. I looked down and it was Kane.
"Yoyo, Where y'all at?" Kane, Kellz, and I had split up about two stores ago because they had gotten hungry and decided to go to the food court.
"We are at..." I looked and saw the sign to the store ,"some store called Fire stylez."
"Cool just stay right there,we'll meet you." I decided to find a bench to sit down on. Babygirl was struggling to get on by herself so I decided to help her out a bit. She was so short that her feet sat directly on the bench.
"Dada we wait for unc kan and Kelly." She says as she starts to walk on the bench to where I'm at to sit on my lap.
"Yes."
"You tink de give me mo canny?" She asked excitedly.
"You have had enough candy for today, next time you eat you're getting actual food." Kane had finally got her some candy earlier so she was no longer mad at him over the Candyland situation and he was back to being fun uncle kane.
"But I want canny." She said with a look of sadness of her face.
"Tell you what," I said looking into her little pouting face," You can have some candy then, is that ok with you?" She nods her head and hugs me.
"I see that she's got you all wrapped up." I looked up and saw the familiar that was Amia.
"Mimi!" My baby scream before she jumped off my lap and went to the edge of the bench so Amia could pick her up. Amia happily lifted her into her arms and I got up and hugged her then we both sat down on the bench.
"What are you doing here?"
Amia was Tameeka's cousin who was a professional singer and dancer. We became friends in our Junior year of highschool and I met Tameeka that same year. I didn't talk to Tameeka much until senior year though so I spent most of my time with Amia and Bri.
Amia was my best friend and when she got big, she wanted to take me with her but I had to be here for my baby girl and she understood that so about almost every three months she makes a visit here to see me and babygirl. She would see the rest of her family a lot more, but every time she visits they want to ask for a hand out. The only people that don't is her parents , a select few of her aunts and uncles and Tameeka.
The only reason Tameeka doesn't ask her is because she doesn't want to owe anyone anything so they can't throw it back in her face. That chick was a lot to deal with but the one thing she didn't do is beg for money.
"You know I visit a lot."
"It hasn't been three months."
"I just have a lot on my mind and I figured that I could get away for awhile if I came home."
"What's on your mind?"
"I-," she was suddenly cut off by the loud of Kane coming into view.
"Is that bae I see?" Amia rolled her eyes at him. Kane had this thing for Amia since he saw her two years ago when she first came to visit me and hasn't given up on pursuing her every chance that she is here.
"Mickain how are you?"she said as she stood up to hug him.
"I'm good but I'd be even better if you let me take you out tonight." He said as he held her hands and looks into her eyes hoping for answer that wasn't no.
"I guess I can let you do that."
"You finally wore her down after two years of begging playboy." Said Kellz as we both started laughing.
"Y'all haters." He smacked his teeth then looked to Amia who had just gotten up and sat Zania back on me.
"I have to go but y'all hit me up later." She said as she began to walk away.
"Oh I most definitely will." Kane bit his lip as he watched her walk further out of our viewpoint. "She wifey she just don't know it yet."
"Periodt sis!" Said Zania. Kellz, kane, and I bust out laughing.
"Where did you learn that from?" I asked.
"Mommy, I heard her say tat one time and i axed wat it mean and she nike it jus prove point."
"Ok then."
"So we done here or what's the move?" Asked Kellz.
"Uh i think so. We can just swing by the food court then head out."
"Alright." He replied as he took some of the bags I had laid on the bench and walked away with Kane holding Zania following right behind him. As I got up and grabbed the rest of the bags. I turned my head slight to see the inside of the clothing store and was met with a pair of beautiful hazel eyes. Just as quickly as I saw those eyes is just as quickly as they disappeared from my line of vision.
