Love In The Streets Of South Central

Babyboy

(Jordans pov )

Me and C was sittin' outside on my mama porch smoking a blunt before he had to go into work... "So you got lil man today huh ? I exhaled the smoke and looked down at my hands " yeah , but Tamia ass talm bout she gone stop me from seeing my son and shit because she got a new "boyfriend" but I don't see what that gotta do with me not being able to see my son.. I ran my fingers through my head and waited for Cartea to respond but this nigga was more focused on what we was smoking than what I was talking about .. " aw you talkin' about that dirt ball ass nigga that work at that liquor store on 12th ? He passed the L to me one more time before we put it out ; " Yeah man.. what you know about em'? , "Uhh, well i know that he work at that pissy ass liquor store like i just said and I heard he beat on females and uhh damn just last month Devon caught ol'dude tryin' to take shit from his house in broad daylight my nigga people was standing outside like it was a movie or some shit and you already know dev was showin' his ass .. Cartea sat back in his seat and paused with his mouth open.. and damn i couldn't help but do the same cause these hoes was bad as hell one was a lil short brownskin with back length straight hair with a leopard print tattoo on her right arm , and to her left was another luh cute brownskin with some light brown hair and then the one in the middle the one I be checkin' for always got a attitude everytime I see her but she fine ass hell got a nice lul shape and some long ass weave but she could be mixed... I ain't even know I was starin' that hard until the lil brownskin one with the leopard print tat pointed at me and giggled I closed my mouth and looked down at my phone ..."Daaaammmmnnnn luh mama I promise if you let me talk to you I won't bite less you want me too I promise " Cartea dumbass had no shame in anything he was sayin' but ion blame em cause all of em ' bad. The girls finally finished walking off and as soon as they left Cartea dapped me up and proceeded to walk to work .. It's funny because when I'm around my boys they make me laugh but then when I'm alone I think about my son , To be honest I been waiting for Tamia to get caught slippin' with my son because I promise I'm not gone hit her imma call my auntie so she can beat her ass in front of me I know I was only sixteen when Kareem was born but that little boy means alot to me and then some but his momma don't mean a damn thing to me , I can't stand her ass I only thank her because if it wasn't for me and her Kareem wouldn't be here.. Speaking of Tamia her ass callin' right now "What ?" I said with my voice full of irritation " uhh who taught you how to answer the phone?" She said poppin' her gum in my ear " Yo mama and you said you was bringing kareem around two it's going on three o' clock" as soon as I was gonna get mad she pulled up in this clean ass black charger with rims on it and the bass in it was knockin' . I know that damn car ain't hers either I just shook my head while she got my lul man out the car and his overnight bags "Dadddyy" kareem squealed and ran to hug my legs I call em Lil J cause he reminds me of myself " Lil j you know I missed you right ? " he nodded and just cheesed at me while his mama dropped her bag down beside him and hopped back in the car , I shrugged " go in the house with granny " I said picking up his bags and shit from the sidewalk...

"Ma what you want me to do I can't take full custody of him ??? I shrugged but my heart was saying i needed too " I don't like him being around all that shit tamia be havin' him around ..weed smoke , hoochies , and gang bangers he come over here everytime smellin' like that shit she said yellin' and pointing at me "I know it's not like I want him to be around that but you said so yourself there's no room here for me and him It's barley enough space for me to be living here with you soo.." " So what Jordan ??? You think doing the shit you do is gonna make your life better ?? Drug deals gone get you outta this ?? You need to get your shit together , god knows I love my grandson but you could have waited for children, you could have found a good job" "Ok ma Ok yeah nobody told me to bring him here but he's here now I can't do shit about it I'm trying to be a good dad as much as I can I know it's been three years but I'm still tryin' to get used to it you think i like being out here with Devon and Cartea doing what we do ??? Hell nah I'm over here helpin' you pay bills and making sure my son got shit , that's why me and you always arguin' cause you don't get me I'm your muhfuckin' son tryin' to raise a son the best way I can give me some damn credit . By now I know we probably woke kareem and my nose was flarin' I put my head in my hands for a bit and when I dropped my hands Boooowwww her hand slapped my face " now get the fuck out out of my house" I inhaled and went to grab kareem he was sitting in my bed sleepily watchin' cartoons " awr you and granma ok ?" He was rubbing his eyes tiredly " Don't you worry bout' that, we gone go to Uncle Devons house for a little bit " I picked him and his bags and walk downstairs straight past my moms I could tell this was gone be a long ass night....
