Angel's POV

"Angel get up!" I heard.

"What yo!" I groaned.

"Come on girl!" I heard.

I looked up and it was Jay.

"Oh hell naw." I said and turned over.

"Come on girl." He said coming over to me.

"No man, stop playing I'm tired." I said.

"Nah, come on." He said.

This nappy head nigga picked me up.

"Jay stop playing! Mama! Mama!" I yelled.

He carried me over his shoulder to the bathroom and sat me in there.

"Get dressed." He said.

"No." I said.

"Angel-"

"No." I said.

He started walking towards me and I moved back.

"Get your ass ready." He said.

He left out and closed the door.

"You ain't my daddy." I said.

"What?!" I heard.

"Ain't nobody say nothing." I said.

I washed my face and did all that. This dude is crazy. I got dressed in a tank, some shorts and jays and put my hair in a messy bun. I came out the room and he was sitting in the living. I was leaning against the wall with my arms folded. This nigga stood up laughing.

"What the hell you laughing for?" I asked.

"Watch your mouth and lets go." He said.

"Where we going?" I asked.

"Don't worry about that." He said.

I huffed as we walked out the hotel but before I left I grabbed my shades. We got in the car and I don't care where we going I was going back to sleep. I swear I slept like ten minutes before he was tapping me.

"Let's go." He said.

I got out and why the hell we at the airport. Oh shit, are they sending me to Texas? I've been doing what I'm supposed to with this crazy ass schedule. We were standing near baggage claim.

"What we doing here?" I asked.

"Just wait a minuet." He said.

The hell he got me here for this early? Somebody important better be here. I was looking around until Jay tapped my arm. I looked at him then to the direction he was pointing. I looked and I saw Leon walking. Oh my god! I ran to him. He dropped one of his bags and caught me and spun me around.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Bey told me to come out." He said.

"How long you here?" I asked.

"Like two or three weeks." He said.

"Yes!" I said as we walked back to Jay. "But you know I'm working."

"Yeah." He said.

When we made our way over to Jay he was laughing. I hit him in the arm. He could've just told me. We went back to the hotel and when we walked in Bey was on the couch with mama. I went over and hugged her.

"Thank you." I said.

"You're welcome, but I can't breath." She said.

"Oh." I said and let go.

"Why didn't y'all just tell me he was coming?" I asked.

"Because there would be no surprise." Leon said.

"Whatever, she cussed me out this morning." Jay said.

I whipped my head around.

"Angel-"

"No I didn't mama, he lying." I said.

"Shawn." She said.

"Would I lie?" He said.

"You did today." I said.

"Okay, well you ready for tonight?" Bey asked.

"I guess." I said.

"Good, can you watch Blue while Me and mama go to the spa?" She asked.

"Uh, her daddy right there." I said.

"You gonna do it or not?" She asked.

"I guess. I charge $50 an hour." I said.

"Oh please." She said and mushed my head.

I hit her in the arm as she got up. She looked back and punched me in the arm.

"Owe! I didn't hit you that hard!" I said.

"Angel-"

"It was her ma." I said.

Mama and Bey were walking towards the door and Bey stuck her tongue out at me.

"Mama." I said.

"What?" She said.

I sighed.

"Nothing." I said.

I looked at Jay and he shook his head.

"Leon, lets go." He said.

"Where y'all going?" I asked.

"To do men stuff." He said.

"I wanna go." I said.

"When did you grow a dick?" Leon asked laughing.

I flicked both of them off. So I'm left playing nanny. Okay, that's fine.

"Blue! You want some cookies."

****************

After some cookies and juice this chick was bouncing off the walls and I could barely keep up. We chased each other around the hotel room. We jumped on the bed until she passed out. Yep, you can say it. I'm the bomb baby sitter. I was on the couch watching TV when Mama and Bey came back. Bey sat beside me and I sniffed her.

"You smell like a rain shower." I said.

"Why thank you." She said. "Where is my child?"

"In a sugar coma and you were gone for three hours so that's $150 sweetness." I said.

"How much sugar did you give her?" She asked.

"Enough to pass out but not enough to throw up." I said.

"I've taught you well." She said as she got up.

"Wait, where my money?" I asked.

She walked back in the back. I flipped channels trying to find something to watch.

"Ma, I don't want to do this anymore." I said.

"You wanna go to Texas?" She asked.

"No." I said.

"Alright then." She said and went in the back.

Jay and Leon finally came back.

"Where did y'all go? What is there to do in San Jose?" I asked.

"We just drove around." Jay said.

"Well what can we do here?" I asked.

"Nothing to be honest but we'll be in New Orleans soon." Leon said sitting next to me.

"Yeah, Essence fest." I said. "But I really want to go to Cafe du Monde."

"They got them biscuits things right?" Leon asked.

I nodded.

"Yo, what if Bey fall on this tour?" I said laughing.

Leon laughed but Jay didn't.

"That ain't funny." Jay said.

"If she don't get hurt I'm laughing my ass off." I said.

"I heard that." Bey said coming back out.

"I hope so sweetness." I said laughing.

"So you and Solange supposed to be going to see daddy?" Bey asked.

"Yeah, I didn't want to meet the lady by myself." I said. "But it's whatever."

I gotta go see the lady my daddy plan to wed. Oh great.
