"You got like 60 dollars I can borrow baby?" My momma asked as she leaned on the kitchen counter while I tried to clean up. I haven't seen this lady in a year and when she does pop up, it's about money
"I don't have it" I told her while I kept my back to her, washing the dishes
"Whatchu mean you don't have it? When yo ass was little I ain ever have it when you wanted to go on field trips and shit but I made shit happen. You can't return the favor"
"The difference is I was a child that couldn't work. Don't you gotta job?"
"Chilee" she laughed before giving a dry cough and pressed the cig to her lips
"And don't smoke that in here"
"Why not? I smoke any other time"
"Any other time was a year ago... and things change in a year. MA put that out"
"What? You pregnant?" She asked as she grabbed the ashtray from off of the table and put it out "see I knew you was gone be pregnant next time I saw you-"
"IM not pregnant"
"Oh... it's that lil girl that stay witchu huh? I knew she was a fast one. You can tell by how she look"
"Don't do kay like that. She in a relationship with her baby daddy, she graduated college and she got a good ass job"
"Ohhh.. shit then... well you need to be like her. Who she date? A doctor ain it?"
"Benji"
"Benji? That lil boy that I brought weed from that one time?"
I nodded as somebody knocked on the door. I dried my hands and walked past her to go to the door, surprised as hell to see Karma's dad standing there
"Oh..."
"Hey, is karma here?"
"No. She at work"
He looked confused "work?"
"Yeah, she started her nursing job today"
"Lani you gone give me the money or not? I gotta get on the road and go back home" my momma said as she walked from the kitchen and over to the door, stopping when she saw Karma's daddy.
"Anthony" she looked at him and he looked like he didn't recognize her which I'm probably sure was true. My momma really did let herself go over the years
"Don't try to act like you don't know who I am. Especially when I gave birth to your baby"
When she said that his face stiffened up and I put my hand on my hip
"How that lil girl doing anyways?"
"I just told you" I spoke up and she look at me
"Huh?"
"I just told you how kay was doing. You would think you would've known your own child the first time you came over here and saw her"
"The pregnant girl?"
Karmas dad sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets "milani, when karma gets home can you tell her I stopped by"
"Yeah.." I responded as he walked off and my momma clutched onto her chest
