Another Saturday morning

Another Saturday morning. It's been a week since that bullshit went down on main Street. My world was turned upside in a weekend....two fucking days. In a mere forty eight hours, I met the love of my life and had my heart broken by him.

It's my fault because I said it. It was also Cairo's fault for bringing it back up at the worst possible time. I was connecting to lil man and he connected to me... Like he was really team Rah, calling me dada and everything.

Good things come to an end. That's what I learned. Some things end sooner than you intended.

THIS IS NOT OF THEM!!

If y'all thought for a second that I was going to let MY SON go after one weekend, then you're stupid. Kathy hit me up today and told me my lil man was coming to the shop. She was also telling me that Cairo and King needed their phones turned on because Cairo's ex husband cut them off. Whomever that bitch ass nigga is (ms. Parker's words, but I agree) he was wrong for that. If I ever see him, I'm whooping his ass just off the principle.

Devin just arrived, stepping out of his dad's car. He looked so careless in his army fatigue pants and white tee. Certainly not dressed for washing cars.

"Get that out your mouth Devin! You gone black your little lungs out before you're 18!" I yelled at the sight of him with yet another blunt in his mouth.

"Man... You ain't my daddy!" He argued. "Control your own kid" he mumbled as he walked past me, but I saw he put that blunt out.

"That's what the fuck I thought..." I muttered as I went back to welcoming some more kids that came up.

It was a typical hot ass Saturday morning in Tarboro NC. The month was nearing to the end but the summer heat will be continuing on into August. Pretty soon, the kids will be back in school.... I'll have to get my son some clothes and supplies. Yes, I'm going to shop for my boy. I'm doing that regardless of how he may feel about me. I STILL love him...and his mother too.

I know y'all calling me all types of dumbasses and shit, but Cairo is my first official love. I know I didn't treat him right at all times but I did right by him. Kingley is and will always be my little man. I fell in love with him the day he walked in my shop. I want him to know ME. I want him to know I'm only a call away. I want him to know that I will never turn him away.
