Some of you might know, I have another story out called 'Toxic love'. I'm not deleting the story I'm just unpublishing it since my main focus is on this book right now.

When this book comes to an end, I'll republish it.

Thank you and enjoy 😌

"Eeny meeny miny moe.." I sung to Jamal

"Catch a tiger by its toe..." he continued.

"If it hollers let it go, eeny meeny miny moe." I tickled him.

He fell back onto my leg, laughing.

Jah sighed frustrated.

I looked up at him since I was sitting down on the floor with Jamal. "What's wrong?"

"I got a court date in December." He rubbed through his dreads.

"For old charges or..." I trailed off.

"Or." He straight faced me.

"She's gonna be there?"

"No. That's good too. I don't want to see her ass there.."

"This is still fucked up. I don't understand."

"I don't even want to talk about that shit no more. Let's watch a movie." He sat on the couch.

I got up and sat next to him. "C'mere bubba."

He ran excitedly to me. He jumped onto my lap. "Uppy."

I picked him up and he laid on my chest while I laid on Jah's. "What're we watchin?"

"Trolls."

......

Jah looked through the mail and threw it on the kitchen counter. "How'd you even break your phone?" Jah asked.

"I dropped it in the mall and it cracked the whole screen."

"You broke it IN the mall?"

I nodded munching on my hot fries.

"Yeah? Then how come it completely broke on impact? If you broke it inside the mall, it would've just cracked." He tilted his head.

I hesitated. "I broke it on my way inside the mall."

"So you just going to switch up yo' story?"

"Why you questioning me boy?" I tilted my head.

"Why's there mail from the police department asking for a signature for a restraining order?" He read it. "That was filed two days ago at 1:42 p.m."

I rubbed my temples. "Don't worry bout that. It's over with."

"Nah cause you my shawty, ma. I wanna make sure you a'ight with everything. I gotta know when this typa shit happens."

I sat there with a bored looking expression swiping through my phone. He's lecturing me and it's irritating.

"Are you even listening to me?"
