Chapter Eighteen

Noelani

"Mom I'm telling you that he was there. That's why I couldn't go in the back and see if there was any clues"I said as I watch my mother fix some coffee. It was the next morning and the house was empty. Dave took Bastet to the park. And I don't know where the bitch went. I don't keep tabs on her.

"So you telling me that he was there. In New York?"she ask. I nodded my head. "Why the hell he down here?"

"He said the lady who passed away was his ex wife. Something ain't adding up right"I shook my head sitting on the couch. My mom sat next to me rubbing her head.

"Why it feel like we detectives tryna solve a murder case?"my mom chuckle.

"The detectives ain't doing shit anyways so why not"I mumble. "I just wanna know what's going on. That girl probably the key"

"That girl didn't have nothing to do with it. Her father is the key"my mom said. "That's who I need to get closer to"

"We have three suspects. Your sneaky ass partner, that girl dad, and Ashlee"I said.

"Lemme call Timon and see if he have anything new"my mom took out her iPhone. I turn the tv on to the news so I can see how the weather will be today.

As I was watching tv, Dave came in the house holding Bastet diaper bag and car seat. But where's Bastet? "Dave where the fuck is my daughter?!"I yelled. Just then the bitch walked in the house holding my daughter. Bastet look up at her smiling. My heart shattered once I saw that.

"Why you screaming lani? She's okay"dave chuckle.

"She cried a bit for her momma. She's a pretty little girl, looking just like her daddy"the bitch played with Bastet hands causing her to laugh.

"Yeah. Just like her daddy"I said slowly. I look at Dave who was walking around the kitchen. "Ima go and put her to sleep"I walked away from the living room going to my room.I laid down in bed kicking my feet up. I pulled out my breast so I can breastfeed Bastet. That's all she drink is my milk. I had to watch what I drink and eat if I want to keep breastfeeding her.

"Your so pretty Bastet. You look like mommy, not daddy"I smiled at her. Her beautiful eyes look back at me as she grip my breast. She was greedy as well. "Mommy loves you"

"Daddy too"I heard Dave voice from the room door. "Taylor and Bastet got along today. I was happy when I seen Bastet smile at Tay...."

"Why you had that bitch around my daughter?"I ask gritting my teeth at him. Dave walked in my room looking at me with a mean mug.

"Why you don't like Taylor? Huh"—"Is it because she's with me? Is it because your jealous that I moved on and found somebody else?"is this nigga crazy?

"Dave I don't give a fuck about you. I don't want you no more"I lied. Why the hell would I say that? Yes I still do want Dave. He was my first and he my baby daddy. We had a connection. But I don't think it will feel right to go back with a nigga who put my life and my baby life in jeopardy. "You know the block is hot after what happened to that girl mother"

"It's nothing to do with her...."

"Nothing to do with her? Her mother was killed by someone. If your close to her, that someone will probably want you dead too"—"I'm not losing my baby"

"Nice that you cared about me"Dave said.

"I'm talking about Bastet, not you"I said. "That's another thing that's gone stop"

"What?"he looked at me funny.

"Bastet not going with you anymore. Until shit is cleared then I might let her go with you"I said.

"I hate that plan"dave shook his head. "You act like this shit have something to do with me but clearly it doesn't"

"It does have something to do with you as well Dave. Your king pin remember"I said. "Your girlfriend father is hiding something that y'all don't know about"

"Noelani, we have a lead"my mother came in my bedroom. "Get dress and lets go"

I stared at Bastet who was now asleep. "Have to watch her again"Dave mumble.

"You are her father"—"Just don't go no where with her"I hand Bastet to Dave who was ready to hold her again. I quickly put my breast back in place and went to my suitcase so I can get an outfit out.

But first, where are we going?

So I just wanted to know. Y'all want Dave and Noelani to get back together or no?

I think they should get back together. I don't know about Taylor.
