I Love My Thug

8

After school we decided to see my parents (my mom because I was more than sure that my dad wasn't home.. He never is) " Are you nervous?" I asked curiously. " Yeah a little..." He admitted. "Well Rico you don't have to if you don't want to." He looked at me. "Well in that case bye..." He playfully turned around and act like he was walking away." I punched him. " Oh stop... We're almost here so suck it up and stop being nervous." We walked and to see my mom cooking. "Hey mom where's dad?" I asked ... Already knowing the answer. "Working." I got upset. "Why is he never home mom? I can't stand it......." But I totally forgot about Rico being here so I sucked it up and decided to wait until he left. " Mom here's my boyfriend Rico... I wanted him to meet both of my parents but you know how that goes. Rico stood up and gave her a hug. " Hey." He said. " Hey how are you!" He started smiling. " Fine and yourself?" She smiled. " good. All I need is my lovely daughter." I interrupted their convo. " Mom don't ask any personal questions okay... Matter of fact imma show him my room." She looked at me. "Okay don't be long, dinner is almost ready. Rico are you staying for dinner?" He shrugged. "If it's okay with your daughter." They looked at me. " Yeah sure it's fine." We walked up the stairs. " Your mom is mad cool babe." He said. "Yeah she's the main reason why I wanna wake up in the morning." I said while climbing on his lap and laying down. "Yeah I wanna meet your pops tho." I guess he knew it was a emotional subject because he held me tight. "I don't know what's wrong with him it's like he don't wanna spend time with us... It's like he loves money more than me. He missed most of my birthday parties to go sell , he missed my graduations to go sell, he missed my recitals to go sell..... ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS SELL... I'm starting to not even see him as a father to me... More like a deadbeat." He rubbed my back. "It's fine baby, things will get better.. You just gotta give it time." I clenched up. " How much time does he need I gave that man 12 years... How much longer dies he need?" He looked at me. " Time... He's going to see that you're slipping away from him , and that you're doing your own thing, and that you spending time with him isn't really a want for you." I kissed him when my mom called us down for dinner.💘✊
