Ariana 💕

I haven't spoken a word to anyone in a week. Instead, I've been cooped in the room writing music. I'd gone to the studio a few times but couldn't find anything to sing. So I've spent this entire week trying to find something. Anything. But I found nothing.

Okay....so maybe I played a tiny role in the two of them getting back together. I might've made him wait too long and he got impatient. But you can't expect me to just hop back into a relationship after using an entire year to get myself back together. And on top of that, this is the exact thing I didn't want to happen. We get back together, but he's still messing with his exes. That just makes me look bad. Seriously.

I didn't deliberately go out of my way to bash his relationships in my song, I'd just made it known that he had poor selection choices when it comes to dating. Why is it that every girl he gets with has to come out their ass to say something about me? I don't know you and you don't know me, so please keep my name out ya mouth.

Then the nerve they have to talk about Violet. Now that's just cruel. And they're lucky I haven't beaten any of their asses because that's my career on the line. I have to make sure my baby girl is alright, I don't got time for these bitches. But hey, it is what it is.

Kyle hasn't really made much of an effort to communicate with me this week, but that's strictly because him and the guys were on a tight schedule. Which I'm super glad for because I can't face him right now. The only time he's allowed to talk to me is when it involves Violet.

To think I was really considering moving in with him when he moved into the house. What a waste that would've been. I'm not proud of the fuck up, but I am glad that I get to keep my independence. Maybe co-parenting is literally what's best for us. I'm not ready for a relationship anymore. I'm done with that.

*****

Violet and I sat on the couch watching Aladdin. The live version that came out in 2019. This is our fourth time watching it and it just gets better and better each time. Before this, we watched Frozen 1 and 2. Nothing like a good Princess marathon on Disney Plus.

We were eating chocolate (and white chocolate) covered strawberries with glasses of water to wash it down. Both of us cuddled under a blanket on the couch; my right leg tucked under me and Violet in my lap. The back of her head rests against my collar bone as I run my hand over her smooth wavy hair that sat in a puff at the top of her head. She was so focused on the TV and it was too cute. Genie is her favorite character, but she loves Aboo as well. She actually reminds me of Aboo; so hyper energetic and cute.

After this movie goes off, she has to get to bed. She has her first Gymnastics lesson tomorrow. I want her to be well rested and ready to go. Even though it's the beginners class, I want her to be ready. I bought her a black, turquoise and silver starred leotard. I tried it on her and she fits it perfect, just as expected.

"Mama, that Aboo!!" She points out the monkey.

"Yes it is mamas. It's Aboo." I smile.

She grins, continuing to watch the movie. We were up to the Prince Ali scene, where they're about to go meet Princess Jasmine. She always gets upset when Genie turns Aboo into an elephant, but she likes the elephant too, so it's fine.

Right before the movie ends, she's knocked. So as the credits roll, I carry her to her room. Since she's already in her pajamas and such, I just tuck her into the bed and kiss her forehead. I turn on her nightlight and close the room door.

I head back into the living room to clean up and put everything away. When I pick up Violet's tablet, I see that she had a missed FaceTime call from Kyle. As if she can actually speak full English, Kyle entertains it. It keeps her occupied, so why not.

I mentally debate on if I should FaceTime him back, ultimately deciding to do so. I sit the tablet on the coffee table and sit on the couch, waiting for him to pick up. When he does, he's not looking down at the camera. He must be talking to Winnie. He looks into the camera finally.

Woah. That is not the face I was expecting to see.

I give a fake grin.

What do you want Kyle?
Where's Violet?
Asleep. What do you want Kyle?
I was calling to say goodnight to my daughter, but I guess not. So what's up?

I squint my eyes.

Can you pick her up from her gymnastics lessons tomorrow afternoon?

He sighs and I know there's something coming after it.

Why didn't you ask me about this earlier in the week?
You were busy and I didn't want to talk to you.

He lets out a breath through his nose.

What time?
12PM
I have this thing going on-
Forget it.
You didn't let me finish saying what I had to say.
I already know what you're going to say.
What was I going to say?
You have something to do and you won't be able to get her. That's fine.

He only blinks at me. I blink back.

If you want me to get her, I'll get her. It won't be that big of a deal.
No, you have other things to do. Worry about getting those things done.
You're doing that thing again.
What thing?
Where you try to guilt trip me into doing something.
That's not a thing I do.
It is because you just did it.
I did not.
You did.
Man, you trippin'.
Am I now?

I nod into the camera and he rolls his eyes.

What's the address? I'll go get her.
It's fine, I got it.
Ari.
Goodbye.
A-

I hung up before he could finish. I close the cover that automatically locks the tablet and lay it on the table. I fold the blanket we were using and grab the tablet. After turning the lights off in the living area, I head to the hallway closet to put the blanket inside. I then go into Violet's room and place the tablet on top of her toy chest.

I sigh when I get back into my room, plopping down on the bed. I grab my phone and check my notifications. Kyle had texted me about two minutes ago.

Violet's Dad 🙄
Hang up on me again and see what happens.
Call me back in the morning.

He's such a diva.

You ain't scaring nobody dude 😐.

He reads the message. I watch the bubble pop up as he types his response.

Violet's Dad 🙄
Watch ya mouth.
You know what I'm capable of.

I don't know if I can take him literal on that. All I know is he ain't scaring nobody.

Yeah, aight. C u 👌.

After that, I lock my phone and put it on the charger. It was on 12%. I ain't gone waste it talking to Kyle's crazy ass.

I crawl into my bed and wait for sleep to consume me. It takes a while, but eventually it does.

And I'm glad when it does.
