Raheem was always a player and womanizer until a special someone came along. He though this person would the one until he broke his heart.
Now years later and back in his womanizing ways, Cairo seems to be making his way back into Raheem's life uni...

Why do I feel like I'm in the middle of a war? Mom is going ballistic on Rah for NO reason! I like Rah... I don't know why, but I feel like I can breathe and be myself with him. He's so cool. He fixes cars AND cuts hair! I wish my dad was more like him.
I mean, look at him now. He's taking a verbal beating from my mom but he's still focused on his job. He's nice. He didn't even get mad at me about interrupting his meeting...or questioning his job.
I think he likes my mom too. The way he looked at him, I could feel something magical in the atmosphere. Like this was meant to happen. At this moment, at this time. I don't think mom caught on yet, but I get it.
Maybe this is God trying to tell mom to let my dad go. I don't want them to break up but I can't play dumb either. Mom and dad haven't been happy together for some years now. At first, they would hide their fights and smile in my face...like I didn't hear them scream and cuss at each other or whatnot. Now, it's like all bets are off and they are ready to pop off anywhere. Then mom will notice me. He'll grab me and leave while dad stays behind, fuming. I also noticed my dad doesn't want to be around me anymore. I don't know what I did to him, but I still love him.
I don't want to say they NEED to divorce, but if they do, I won't have a problem with it. Maybe Rah can be my step dad. I feel like Rah can make my mom happy if he gives Rah a chance. I don't know anything about relationships because I'm only 11, but I do know relationships are supposed to be happy. I don't know why I like Rah so much.
"Do you have a spare tire or not?" Rah asked my mom, I could see he was getting irritated by my mom's antics but held it all in.
Mom had his arms crossed and muttered something I'm almost positive was very rude. Something about what Rah needs to do with a spare tire and his ass.
"I think there's a spare tire in the back...under the floor." I spoke up. Rah wasn't getting anywhere with mom and I was ready to finally see my grandma. I talked to her all the time on the phone and FaceTime, but I never saw her in person.
"Let's get it little man." Rah said while patting my back.
"Don't hit my fucking child either mothafucka!!"
"Mom he didn't hurt me! It's okay!"
I opened the truck to my mom's protesting to reveal... All the bags and boxes we came here with.
