"Its crazy. I'm back." I mumbled as I stared out the window.
"You gon get off?" Matteo asked as he parked the car.
"I don't know. I just feel like I'm making a mistake, but at the same time... I'm here for it."
"Want me to walk you to the door? I can carry Jamal's carrier. I doubt your boyfriend is up at this time."
"Trust me. Hes up like an insomniac."
Haha I'm funny.
Ew bitch. Am I making mom jokes?
"I got it." I said. I hopped out of the car.
I'm nervous. Why am I nervous?
I hissed. "Ow. Girls this is not a time to be kicking mommy, yo." I huffed. "Okay I need help." I walked to the front door. I lifted my hand to knock, but froze. "Dude, why am I fucking nervous. My heart's beating out of my ass."
"Because you haven't seen him in person for a long time and you basically ache for him? He is the father of your children. Its understandable."
"I hate that you give good advice... I just do- yo!" I yelped when he knocked for me.
"What if he clocks me right now? Am I allowed to fight back?"
"Shut up."
Footsteps... Getting.. Louder.
I took a deep breath as the door opened.
"Kila?"
"Hi Cleo.." I hugged her. "He asleep?"
She nodded. "Knocked out. I thought you said you were getting here in the morning. It took me forever to get him to fall asleep. He didn't want to miss you."
I huffed.
She reached out for Jamal. "Hi. Who's this?"
"My friend. He drove me here."
"Oh! Come in!" She smiled at him. "Take a drink or something. You guys must be hungry."
He gave me a lil chuckle. "We sure are. Thank you." He happily walked in, laying his jacket on the couch.
Oh my god.
"Cleo I need to talk to you."
"Whats wrong?" She asked as she laid the carrier on the couch and picked up Jamal.
"You'll be honest with me, right? I don't want to be here if we're not safe. Everytime i bring it up with X, he-"
"They didn't trace it back to her. The phone number belonged to a teenage boy that has no relationship to Geneva. And we checked the cameras. Nothing showed her coming in or going out." She cradled Jamal tightly to herself.
I could tell she missed him so much.
I'm just really fucking confused though. But I saw her..
I swear it was real? Theres no way I'm going crazy.
"I have news." I rubbed my forehead. "You might freak out. I still haven't because I'm processing it still.."
"Yo, can I drink this?" Matteo held up a Gatorade.
"Matteo. Go."
He sighed. He gave me a quick hug. "Goodluck."
"Tell Kat I'll call her." I said.
He nodded before grabbing his keys and walking out. "Bye X's mom."
Cleo tilted her head. "Whats the news? Is it the baby?"
