Being a Celebrity's Daughter

||26||

Summer.

I turned over to answer my ringing phone.

"Hello." I yawned.

"Wazzam baby." My dad's voice came through the phone.

"Hey dad." I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

"You just now waking up?"

"What time is it?"

"It's going on 2 in the afternoon." He laughed.

"Yeah I been busy all week."

"Doing what?" He laughed again.

"Working." I rolled my eyes.

"Ight I hear you getting irritated so I'ma leave you be." He laughed. "I was just calling to check on you and your sister."

"We're fine."

"Yeah, y'all still got food and everything?"

"I said we're fine and I meant that Dad."

He took a moment before he responded again.

"Love, I really wish I could be at home witcha' but ya' know I got stuff ta' handle."

"I know Dad. You know I always understood how busy you are and that you won't always be here."

"Summa." He sighed.

"Me and Sy are about to shoot our video for the day so I will call you back in a little while."

"Bay-" I cut him off.

"Bye Dad. Love you." I hung up before he could reply.

I was honestly over this entire family at this point and I didn't want anything to do with any of them. After the shit Sy'aire pulled and finding out that Dad and Ari lied about where they were, everything about this family was just lame to me. Everybody only thinks about themselves, but they claim that everyone wants the best for everyone else in this family. They are all selfish and I'm about to be the same way.

"Babe." I nudged Xavier.

"Hmm." He groaned.

"You going home today." I got up and stretched.

"You asking me or telling me?" He laughed and looked at me.

"I'm telling you because I got some stuff to do with Toni and Liv."

"Yeah? What you gotta do?"

I paused for a second, thinking to myself 'is he really questioning me?'.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm just asking ma because whenever stuff starts getting tough around you, you like to go MIA on me like I can't be there for you or something." He looked over at me and I could see the worry all over his face.

"I promise you it's not that this time. I really have to do something with them, I can't tell you now but you will see what it is." I kissed his cheek.

"Alright." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my lips repeatedly.

"Zayyy." I whined. "Come on na' you ain't brushed a tooth or nothing."

"I brushed my teeth last night unlike some people."

"Shut up." I smacked his arm lightly.

"Quickie before I go?" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Duh." I smirked and pulled his face towards mines.
