Keep Your Head Up (Unedited)

Chapter 33

Brianna's P.O.V.

"Who is this daddy?" I asked him

"Brianna meet Michelle, your soon to be step mom."

My smile dropped

I looked at Michelle. My soon to be step mom. My dad's fiance.

She held her hand out waiting for me to shake it. I took her hand, and study her.

She was my dad's type I suppose. Friendly face.

"Nice to finally meet you Brianna. Your father talks highly of you."

"Funny my daddy has never mentioned anything about you Stephanie." I said glaring at my dad

I go and vist this man every weekend and he never mentioned her.

"It's Michelle."

I chuckled "Sorry Jennifer, any who y'all are welcome and come inside."

Later At Dinner

Carter meeting my dad went very smooth. Him and my dad briefly went over some things. Carter was extra respectful.

Angel was polite. She dragged my dad into playing doll house with him. Made him wear the tutu, a tiara and wig, and lipstick that was not his shade.

Dinner went my smoothly. I quietly ate my food. Carter left the table and ate in his office because he got a business call.

"Brianna we need to talk."

"About what Daddy?"

"Me and Michelle's relationship."

"I have nothing to say about Bartholomew."

"Stop disrespecting her Brianna. I know you know her name."

I kissed my teeth. My dad slapped me dead across the face. China must have heard that. I grabbed my check, but didn't walk away.

I derserved that slap.

Growing up my dad barely ever hit me, it was always my mom.

Carter walked out of his office, he was admittedly by my side.

"You okay boo?" He asked me

"Yeah me and my dad were just talking. You can go back to your office."

Carter kissed my forehead and left

"How could you daddy? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Brianna, Michelle took care of me while I was in rehab. She was a staff member there. We got close. She made me happy again."

"Don't I make you happy dad!? How could just replace me? It's always been us ever since middle school. We were all each other had!"

"Yes, but I'm not the only person you have now. You have Carter, Angel, Ant, and Jay. Carter's mom and grandmother."

"That's not the same. No one took a spot as my father."

"Your not being replaced sweetie. Your my daughter, my only child. No one can replace you."

"I don't want a step-mom. I can take care of you." I told my dad

"Brianna your grown you've done somethings already. If your taking care of all my needs. Then what do I need Michelle for?"

My eyes widen when I realised what he said. Ewwwww GROSS!

"Daddy you to old to be knocking ankles loose." I said as I did Tpindells hand movement
