A fine china blessing

Chapter 18

Chris's point of view
Kae and I have been on cloud 9 since the proposal. Kae found out she's about 3 months along and she has a minor baby bump. Although I'm concerned about Blessing. She's been very unsure about herself, and quiet. See I've only been a dad about 7-8 months now and I think I'm pretty good at it. I was on Blessing's Instagram page and people have been saying really F'd up things. Maybe that's why she's upset? I don't know, but I decided to take her out to breakfast and the diner a few blocks away.

"Hey Chris, haven't seen you in a hot minute, you trying to get some drinks?"

I've been coming here for years, so they know me pretty well. They don't really get 'omg it's Chris brown feeling anymore'

"Yea I've been hella busy. Lemme get a iced tea, Justin this is Blessing, my daughter."

"Oh word? I heard you had a daughter. She's a spitting image of you. What would you like to drink?"

"Just water, please."

"Aii, Imma get those and then come and take your orders."

I laugh, at how bad of a waiter he is.

"Aii."

He walks away, but not before flirting with a customer that just walks in.

"So how'd you sleep last night?"

"Okay."

"That's good. I never really got the chance to ask you how do you feel about the whole engagement thing?"
.
"It's cool..." she continues to look down at her iPod

"Okay, what about the pregnant thing."

"It's cool."

I roll my eyes, out of frustration

"How's school?"

"It's okay.."

Justin jogs back over

"Niggah, did your ass ask for tea?"

"Yea, why?"

"we ain't got none."

I look at him, like he's crazy

"Stop dumbing around and get my tea." I laugh

"Watch your tone before I bring you some hot water and a lemon."

He walks away and hits on the same girl again.

"So Blessing what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"It's okay to tell me."

"I said nothing is wrong, so nothing is wrong." She said with a small attitude.
I take her iPod from her hands and turn it off.

"Really?"

"Yes, because you won't tell me what's wrong."

"I said nothing is wrong! Oh my god, nothing. Nothing!" People began to look our way

"Lower your voice please. If nothing's wrong what's going on with instagram."
She puts her head down and ignores me. That's one thing I hate.

I could see Justin walking over.

"Here's your drinks. What would you like?"

"Hold on, lemme say this real quick. Blessing stop ignoring me. Its disrespectful. Let me get a steak, ham and cheese omelet, with some toast. Bless what do you want?"

"Nothing."

"Wow, your daughters just like your stubborn behind."

"I guess, let me get the waffles with Ice cream and a side of scrambled eggs for her."

"I said I don't want anything." She doesn't lift her head from the table

"Well then I'll bring it home."

"Aii, I got y'all." Justin walks away

"How do you feel about the whole Kae situation.."

"I feel like..... nothing. I think it's cool." She reaches for her iPod and I pull it back. I unlock her iPod and find the instagram app. I go through her DM, TL, and comments.

"Bless people are gonna say messed up things. For many reasons. You can't give them satisfactory or benefit as to let it get to you just have to ignore them. Im sorry but I can't control that. Okay? Now if there's a specific thing going on that i should know about you should tell me.."

"Can you just drop it?! I said I'm fine, so get off me!" She blurts out causing everyone to look.
I'm not trying to give anyone a show. I just give her the look my mom would give me when I acted up in public.
----------in the car---------

"I've been holding back on you. I really have. Rarely do you get your iPod taken or get grounded. You're lucky. So stop taking advantage of me. Im not gonna be your rag doll, when I tell you to lower your tone, do it. You also need to watch how you talk to me. Do you understand me?"

She continued to glare out the window and roll her eyes. If I get one more eye roll from her, I will explode.

"Do you understand me?"

"Yes." she hisses through closed teeth.

"Now I really want to know what's wrong lately. Is it the baby?"

Blessing's point of view
I wanted so bad to yell "yes it's the stupid baby!" The only reason I didn't is because my throat hurts from yelling in the restaurant.

"Yes." I manage whisper

Chris looks at me with soft eyes.

"When we get home. We are going to talk. Okay?" I nod and bit my lip to keep from crying. I don't know why I'd wanna cry but I do. Sometimes me and my tear ducts don't agree.... at all.

When we arrive at the house I get out and use my keys to get inside. Once I walk in Uncle Ty is sitting in the living room watching 106 and Park.

"Hey Bless." he turns and smiles at me.

I ignore him and go upstairs. I hear him talk to himself

"Hey Uncle Ty, what's up?" If I wasn't mad, I'd be laughing.

I lock my door behind me. All I have now is the TV and WiiU. Chris never gave my iPod back. I really don't want to talk to him. During the drive home I thought about the whole baby situation. I'm more pissed at the fact that when we got home, I overhead him say 'finally, I'll have a child that's definitely mine.' That's what put me on shut down.

"Blessing, open the door." I ignore Chris and continue watching TV.
He pleads with me for another 5 minutes and then I can hear the conversation between him and Uncle Ty.

"Chris... why does a 9 year old have a lock on her door?" Uncle Ty ask

"I don't even know man."

"You're soft bro. You're all talk. First off, why don't you have a key to this door?"

"Cause the lock was here before she was and it was a guest room."

"Really guy? Aii. Blessing imma give you..5 seconds to open this door. Actually, Im going to count Mississippi's. If this doors not open, I will unscrew it and take it off. If I have to do that, your my problem and I'm not Chris. How do you expect Chris to help you or at least fix the problem if you won't open the door. 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississpi."

I'm not the slightest bit worried.

I can hear him walk away. 5 minutes later I hear my door hinges being unscrewed. Then Chris and Uncle Ty walk in.
