I stood in the living room doorway watching as Qino played around with our 3-year-old daughter.
When I first told Qino I was pregnant he was excited; everything was going great until my lying ass sister went and told him that I had fucked his brother and his best friend at a party, and that our daughter wasn't his. Then this dumb ass had the nerve to believe her when he knew that I was in the hospital from when I had a car accident, I was the one who had them call him when I was conscious enough and was able to speak.
"Come on Amaya it's almost time for bed baby." I said in the doorway
"Kay" she said before giving her dad a kiss on the cheek and making her way towards the bedroom.
"Now you know you could've given me a little more time with her." Qino said smartly.
"You could've gotten all the time in the world with her today or any other day, but let's not forget you refuse to be around her because you said and I quote "that damn retarded ass child is not mines... I don't breed retarded kids and I sure as hell don't make kids who can't speak proper English." I said throwing his words back at him.
"She's fucking 3 of course she can't speak sentences properly YET, she's still learning things as she grows you big dumb ass." I ranted while walking away from him.
"Well she is mines and I apologize for saying that." He said while shaking his head.
"I don't want your fake ass apology the person who deserve a sincere one is our daughter...not me." I said before heading towards the front door and opening it up for him to leave.
"When do you think I can come and get her so she can stay the night with me?" he asked.
I stood there looking at this man like he was smoking on some.
"When you stop having any and everybody in your house then we can talk, until then there is nothing wrong with you coming over here to see her and please don't get it confuse. I do not want you so whatever you are thinking you can drop that with the quickness." I said before ushering him out and locking up my front door.
'Whatever weed that fool smoking I'm going to need him to not smoke it again' I thought while going in the kitchen and cleaning up.
Once I was done, I headed towards my room to take me a nice hot bath and listen to some music on my phone.
20 Minutes Later
After my bath I headed towards Amaya room to check on her, once I seen that she was asleep I turned off her light and left her door cracked.
When I got back into my room my phone started to ping with a text message from Qino.
Qino:
When Can I come get my child
Sent- 2:02 Pm
Ximena:
Umm... You already know the answer to that, When you get another house that doesn't get raided every two weeks and doesn't have different niggas and bitches coming in and out then we can discuss that.
Sent- 2:05 P.M.
You are only saying that because I don't want you anymore
Sent- 2:06 P.M.
I could give a damn about us being together, this is about our child sir and I refuse for her to be exposed around all that bullshit you have going on in your house. Especially since she has a condition.
Sent- 2:07 P.m.
The more we text the more I became frustrated, like you're so focused on whether I want you or not that you can't see your child asking about you....I have love for him but I deserve better than the way he treated me, I am a beautiful Black Queen who deserve respect; I don't want my daughter growing up thinking it's okay for a man to disrespect a woman because it's not.
I was knocked out of my thoughts with another message from Qino
No, seriously when can I come get my child and spend the day with her?
Sent- 2:10 p.m.
I have no problem with you coming over here spending time with her, however I will not allow her to go anywhere with you and be put in harms way because you like to run these streets and have enemies shooting at you every twenty – thirty minutes.
Sent- 2:13 P.m.
Naw your problem is you don't want her near me because I won't take your ass back.
Read 2:14 Pm
