Bitter Baby Mama

Kori

"Girl what the hell are you doing?" Brandi asked me.

I was making sure my black eye was noticeable. I was going to make Houston and his fat ass so-called girlfriend embarrassed.

"You will see." I looked at her smiling and then I turned the camera on me and started talking into the phone.

"Hello world. As you can see, I have a black eye. Well I am here today to show the world that this is not acceptable. My ex-husband Houston Woodson did this to me. He is mad because I will no longer have sex with him. He got angry and he hit me." The tears started falling down my face. What people couldn't see was the fact that I was sticking a safety pin in my leg.

I looked and smile when the comments started coming in praising me for being a good mom. I kept on going with my speech.

"I did what was right and I decided to fight back. I called the police on his ass and got him locked the fuck up. I just want women to know that you don't have to take this. You can fight back too." I said.

The comments were coming in from women praising me and telling me that I was too pretty to be hit on.

After an hour, I finally got off. I was tired and ready to get some more shit going. I know that Houston made bail and was served.

"Girl, you are pure hell. I need to learn a thing or two from you." Brandi said holding her stomach while laughing.

"That will teach his ass to treat me like shit. I am sick and tired of him thinking he can leave me with a child and go about his life like we don't matter." I said.

"But you said that he is a good father and he does for Dallas." She said looking at me.

"Fuck that. I need more money. He thinks that funky little money he gives me works but it doesn't." I said fixing my hair.

Standing up and grabbing her things, Brandi headed towards the door.

"Well I hope you know what you are doing girl. By the way, how did you really get that black eye?" She turned towards me.

I looked at the mirror and stared at her face. I was wondering could I even trust her with this secret.

"Sam and I got into a fight. I found out that she was trying to fuck Houston when we were married. That bitch is dead to me. Anyway, she snuck a good shot and got me in the eye." I said lying through my teeth. Actually, she beat my ass, but I wasn't going to tell anyone that.

"Ok, well good luck with everything." She said and left out the door.

I sat on the bed and started going through my facebook and laughed at them stupid people still going off about Houston. I loved that he was getting dogged out. I decided to take a nap and enjoy this feeling.

Two weeks later:

I was sitting in a conference room ready to hear the bullshit excuse that Houston was going to give about his child support. Once he walked in the room with his fat bitch, my blood began to boil. I can't believe that he brought her fat ass here.

I made sure to stare at her to let her know that I wasn't happy that she was here.

I heard the door open and some white woman walked in looking like her drawers were too tight.

"My name is Diane Whitlow and I am here to hear the complaint on the matter of child support for Dallas Woodson. This is an attempt to see if we could get this settled without going in front of a judge. Mrs. Woodson can you tell us why you petition to increase child support?" She said.

"I am here because the little money that Houston gives me doesn't do anything to help my son." I said.

"Come on Kori, I give you plenty." Houston said interrupting me.

"Mr. Woodson you will have ample time to respond." She said turning back to me.

"Like I was saying ma'am. We are in need of a lot of things and not enough to get them. I have bills and I need money." I said trying to sound sad.

"OK now we can hear from Mr. Woodson."

He stood up and I instantly rolled my eyes. I didn't want to hear what he had to say.

"I am a good father and I do the best I can. I give her almost eight hundred dollars a month and buy all his clothes and shoes. I have to live. I shouldn't have to take care of her. She is able to get a job and work for a living. What bills do she have to pay huh? She lives with her mother in a senior community. I mean, this woman barley lets me see my son and I still give her money." He said.

"You are a damn liar. I never kept you from your son." I jumped up and said. How dare he put my business out like that?

"Mrs. Woodson, please have a seat and control yourself." The lady said.

"Also, can you let it be known that we are no longer married, and I am engaged to another woman." He said, and of course fat lady flashed her ring.

"Oh, give me a break." I said. I was low-key pissed because her ring was beautiful and all I had was some cheap ass band when we were married. Oh, now I was pissed.

"OK I have heard enough. I will need to see both of your income and expenses. I will let you know in a week my decision." She said and stood up.

As we were walking out I decided to let them know just how I felt.

"Oh, you think that you won something huh?" I said to fatty.

She kept walking and I knew I needed to keep going. She wasn't about to ignore me.

"You haven't won shit. I was the first Mrs. Houston Woodson. You are just a second thought. You don't even matter. He is only using you because he wants to make me mad.

He still wants me and if I really wanted him back I could take him from you. Just remember that fat ass. I have his only child. I am his child's mother. You have your own ugly children. Stop trying to be a mother to mine." I said, and she stopped in her tracks.

Got that ass
