Resolving

Lani
I peered around the crowded restaurant nervously.

I was nervous of how this may turn out,but I was also grateful that she agreed to meet me.

I looked back at the restaurant entrance to see her coming in with a little girl on her hip.

Finally spotting me she slowly made her way over to me.

"Long time no see Le'Lani"Taylor gave me a small smile and pulled out her chair.

"I know and I apologize for that"I really did feel bad she was my best friend.

"I understand"She looked down at the little girl in her lap and smiled.

The little girl reminded me of Sean,if I didn't know any better I would say that was his daughter but who am I kidding Sean can't even take care of himself.

"Hi cutie"I tickled her chubby belly her little cheeks rose up as she giggled.

"Say hey auntie"I quickly snapped my head towards Taylor

"Auntie?"she nodded her head then explained to me that she would explain later.

"So I heard your getting married"

"Yeah Angelou officially took me off the market"I showed her my beautiful engagement ring.

"It's beautiful and I heard you had a little Angelou"

"Yes I love my little chunky man look just like his daddy"You can say I was jealous,carter didn't look anything like me.

"Congrats but I gotta ask why did you call?"She asked.

I was just about scared to answer I didn't want it to seem like I'm using her,like she's a back up plan.

I cleared my throat " well British was my bridesmaid but she started acting funny and I don't have time for it and I get married in the minimum of three months and I'm freaking out"

I rubbed my forehead in frustration.

"Me and peaches told you that bitch wasn't right,but don't worry peaches informed me of everything I got you"She sent a wink my way and smiled.

"Now let's talk about how I didn't know I had a niece"

~,~,~

Angie

" So Kenny what do I owe to this visit? " I stared the father of my child in the face.

He shifted uncomfortably in his seat and cleared his throat.

" I miss y'all " he spoke nothing but utter BS

"Oh really you missed us but it took you four months to come see us"I rolled my eyes

"I know I've just been busy"Once again same Ol' shit just a different day.

"You say that every time"

"I'm serious Angie,look I love my son I really do its just hard"

"What the hell is so hard about it? I've been doing it for five fucking years"I snapped I was pissed the fuck off.

"Look your stronger then I am I admit that,when you first told me about him I still had a mind of a child"Yeah and still do

"Alright whatever Kenny"

He sighed in frustration "let me prove it to you"

"Actions speak louder then words"

~,~,~

Sean

" What's up its me eyebrows on Fleek " I said into the camera.

"Sean what the hell are you doing?"I snapped my head towards the door to see Taylor.

"I'm bored"I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm glad you said that your baby would like to spend time with her daddy"

She walked over to me and sat A'Nya on my stomach.

"Hey daddy stink'a boo"I lifted her up in the air as she let out a fit full of giggles.

"We went to go see her auntie today"I screwed my face and looked over at Taylor.

"Please tell me you went to see Lani and not Angie"

Lani was way more understanding when it came to things like this,but Angie on the other hand was not.

"I did"

I was relived but I knew I would her Lani's mouth on this sooner or later.
