I woke up hearing Kamryn laughing and the smell of food radiating my nostrils. I did my hygiene then walked down the stairs to see Melody cooking breakfast with Kamryn assistance.

"Goodmorning" I smiled as I approached the both of them.

"GoodMorning mommy. Me and Melody are making pancakes look" Kamryn pointed to the pancake mix.

"I know baby I see."I smiled. "GoodMorning Aaliyah I hope you don't mind me cooking" Melody said.

I shook my head "No it's fine. I appreciate it." I smiled at her.

"Okay" she smiled and continued cooking breakfast. After about fifteen minutes she had finish making bacon,pancakes,eggs and hash browns.

The three of us all sat at the table and ate. "Thank you Melody it's delicious." She nodded her head.

"What do you say Kami" I looked over at Melody. "Thank you" She said with food in her mouth.

Melody laughed "Your welcome Kam." Kamryn laughed and continued to eat her breakfast.

My phone rang. I picked it up and got up from the table. "Mother." I said as I answered the phone.

"Daughter. You know your sisters nineteenth birthday is in a couple weeks. I wanna throw her a party."

"You always throw her a party" I laughed.

"Aaliyah are you going to help me or not"

"Okay mom. Let's do it."

"Alright I'll call you with details and ideas."

I chuckled "Sounds good"

I was walking through the mall with Ariana. We both stopped in footlocker. We both went or seperate ways and looked through the store.

"Hey" I heard someone's voice say from behind me.

I didn't even bother looking up to see who it was or bother responding. It wasn't a voice I recognized and I was always taught not to talk to strangers.

The person chuckled "I know you heard me" He's deep voice radiated in my ear.

I rolled my eyes and finally looked to see a tall lightskiin, with tattoos all over his body. Damn he's fine I thought to myself. "I know you heard me not respond"

He chuckled "Oh it's like that" he rubbed his hands together.

I crossed my arms "Yea it's like that. Do I look friendly to you?" I asked.

He thought for a second while scanning me "Nah not really if we being honest"

"But you still decided to bring your happy go lucky ass over here to talk to me. Why?"

He chuckled "You got a lot of attitude within that small frame of yours"

I turned back to look at the shoes "You have no idea"

Ariana came up to me and smiled "Whos your friend" she asked me.

I turned back around "Couldn't tell you. Why don't you ask him yourself"

The boy chuckled "I'm Christian but everyone call me CJ" he held out his hand.

Ariana friendly ass smiled and held out her hand "Ariana"

"What's your friend name"Christian asked her while nodding his head at me.

"Nun of your business" I crossed my arms. Ariana laughed "Her names Melody"

"Damn Ari telling all my damn business" I rolled my eyes. "Your lul friend got attitude I like that"

I rolled my eyes at him while he continued I stare at me. "I gotta go. But imma need some contact information before I do" he looked at me.

I laughed "Don't look at me nigga. I ain't giving you nothing" I looked him up and down.

"Here's her snap and Instagram" Ariana said while handing him a paper with my social media's.

"Thank you. Nice meeting you Ariana. You too Melody" He smiled at me.

"Well I wish I could say the same but then I'd be lying." I rolled my eyes and continued looking at the shoes.

He chuckled and I could hear him walking away. "You could've been a little nicer" Ariana said.

"And you could've like not told a stranger my business"

She laughed "He obvisouly thought you were cute and you need a man. Maybe it will make you less grumpy"

I gasped "Come on let's go grinch" she walked over to the cashier.

"Fuck you" I followed her. After shopping with Ariana she dropped me off at Aaliyah's house and she went home.

I laid in my bed debating on accepting his snapchat friend request. I was public on Instagram so there was nothing I could do, unless I blocked him.

I rolled my eyes and just decided to add him back. I took a shower and ate dinner with Aaliyah and Kamryn. Leaving my phone on the charger. I saw he had texted me on snapchat.

For a person who ain't like me. You sure did add a nigga back. 😏

I could unadd you if that would make you

happy?

Nah nah let's not do that. Why you so mean? Who hurt you?

Nobody. That's just me. I got a bad attitude.

Mhmm. Let's go with that, you got sum problems on the inside I can tell.

Damn analyzing me already.

😂

Laughy faces are dry and boring, and a conversation ender in my opinion. I didn't know what to say so I just left him in open. He probably was hurt on the other side of the phone but I really could care less.

Besides I don't even need a man, fuck what Ariana said. She's wrong like 80% of the time anyways. I wasn't going to listen to her.

"So what do you guys think of this place" My realtor asked me and Miracle.

"It's really nice. I like it. What about you J" Miracle asked.

"It's hella coo. Better than all the other ones. I'm down to buy, Mir you want it."

Miracle continued looking at the house "Yea this is going to be our home I love it. I could see us building a future in this house"

Our realtor smiled "Great all get the paper work." And she walked out the house.

I wrapped my around her waist "Born ready." I smiled and pecked her lips.

We signed all the papers and then walked out the house and re-admired or new house.

"Beautiful" Miracle said and smiled. "Very" I smiled back at her.

"Damn went from little me having crush on you to moving in together. That's crazy" I laughed and told Miracle.

"I know. I never thought we'd actually be together. Time flys. We're moving in together and your playing in the finals. Life's good"

"Very good cause your in it. We have to win these finals. I'm ready to be champ"

"And your going to. Just keep grinding"

"Aight let's go. Gotta Get packing" I grabbed Miracles hand and we walked off of the premises.

"Kamryn Boweman" I said as I approached the receptionist desk at Kamryn's daycare.

She looked through her computer for pick ups "It says here that Kamryn was already picked up"

"What?" I made a face. "Hold up lemme call her mom" I dialed Aaliyah's phone number.

"Hello" She said when she answered the phone. "Aye you picked Kam up already?"

"Uhh no it's your days with her. Why would I pick her up. Why? She's not there" she asked in a worrisome tone.

"They talkin bout she was already picked up. Ion know if they system fucked up or what. Hold up imma call you back." I hung up the phone.

"Re-check your shit man cause her moms ain't pick her up and nobody else is on record to pick my child up" I said gettin loud.

"Calm down Mr.Boweman she was probably just put in another room and the system is messed up. She's just temporarily mis-placed" she kept looking in her computer.

"How do you mis place a child, that your supposed to be looking after. What kind of facility is this."

She didn't respond she just kept looking up nervously at me. "Man I'm starting to get real upset. I'm bout to fuck this whole place up if y'all don't find my daughter in two seconds. I swea"

"Mr.Boweman were finding her please calm down. Ms.Robin is Kamryn Boweman in your room." She spoke through her walkie talkie.

"All these damn cameras and shit and y'all can't find one little girl." I leaned on the desk.

"Okay Mr.Boweman we-" she stopped talking when the door opened.

It was Kamryn and a some other kids around her age coming in with one of the people who worked there. "There she is, she was probably on the other facility across the street for her other lessons."

"You think so dumb shit." I said while picking Kamryn up. "Y'all can't just have a child go somewhere else and not know where she is"

"She not coming back here. I can promise you that. Someone go get her shit so we can go" The preschool worker scurried off to the back to grab her stuff.

I snatched it from her hand and left out. "Daddy why were screaming at this people" Kamryn asked as I put her in her car seat.

"Because they're not smart enough to keep you safe" I said buckling her seat belt, I kissed her forehand and got in the front seat.

When I got into the car I called Aaliyah through my car. "Did they find her" she asked soon as she answered the phone.

"Yup. After I was about to turn that whole place upside down. She ain't going back over there."

"Darius."

"Nah don't Darius me. We bout to find somebody or somewhere else to watch her. And if we can't I'll watch her my damn self"

"We'll talk about it later."

"Alright. Kamryn say bye to your momma" I turned around and faced Kamryn.

"Bye mommy. Love you" She waved. "Love you too princess. Muah" Aaliyah kisses the phone.

Kamryn blew a kiss "Muah" and I hung up the phone.

"What you wanna eat." I asked Kamryn as I started the car. "Don't say McDonald's either. You always eatin that"

She pouted "But I want McDonald's." She acted like she was going to cry.

"Uh Uhn. Kamryn I ain't gonna deal with the crying today either. I'll get you some McDonald's if that really what you wanna eat."

She sniffled and nodded her head. I shook my head and continued driving to the nearest McDonald's.

When we got to McDonald's I ordered for the both of us and then Kamryn went to go play in the play area while we waited.

I was checking my emails when Kamryn ran up to me crying. "Ayee wassup" I asked her with tears rolling down her face.

"He hit me." She continued to cry. "Who" I asked while looking around the place.

She pointed at the little boy "Him." I grabbed her hand and I walked to the boys dad.

I tapped his shoulder "excuse me. Your child just hit my daughter."

He turned and faced me "I doubt that's true. Your daughter probably just wants attention"

"My daughters not a liar. You need to tell your kid to keep his hand to himself"

"Don't tell me how to parent my child."

"Maybe I should just bust your ass in the head a couple times so you can see how it feels. Or just tell my daughter to beat his ass."

"Man ain't know need for all of that. I'll keep him in check more Aight." He surrendered.

"Right." I picked up Kamryn and we got our order and left. People were playing with my child a little to much, and I'm not having it.
