"Why the fuck I can't? You my child and still living underneath my roof. I do what the fuck I want." He was giving me bitter vibes and he never acted like this.
"You don't have a reason not to like him. You're being real judgemental right now."
"Yeah Daddy, you'on gotta-"
"Treneé shutup. This my daughter."
She did the Santana shake before standing up. "I'm going with Chauncey."
"Come on niece!" He yelled from the kitchen.
"Daddy that's not fair." I whined, feeling my self about to cry.
"No, what's not fair is you sneaking out my Goddamn house when I told you, you couldn't go somewhere. That ain't fair to me and that ain't you. You don't ever do shit like that."
"Maybe, and this is just a suggestion. Maybe she's just growing up." Zaza shrugged.
"Why the fuck do y'all keep talking to me? Tryna figure out why y'all tryna tell me how to raise my damn daughter." He looked at her raising his voice.
"Okay cause, don't yell at me. I'm pregnant." She rolled her eyes.
"Ion want you seeing him no more. Simple." He shrugged about to walk away.
Before I could stop myself, the words that sounded wayyyy better in my head spilled from my big ass mouth.
"Well that's too bad, because I lost my virginity to him so."
"And I- oop." Nay spoke loudly from the kitchen.
"Girl I-" Daja's eyes widened.
"We just friendssss." Lady joked, making Zaza bust out laughing.
"My boyfriend now." I shrugged, trying to play off how afraid I was.
Daddy stared at me for a while with a look in his eyes I couldn't decipher before nodding and walking away.
"Girl you dumber then a box of rocks." Chauncey cut the corner and shook his head.
"On crip. He definitely ain't gone let yo ass see him no more."
"I don't care, that isn't fair. When I asked him if I could go, he just flat out said no. Didn't even think about it."
"So you snuck out?"
"Well he wasn't here when I left but I wasn't here when he got back so."
"So you snuck out.." Chauncey looked at me dumbly before looking at Lady. "Tuh. And you called me ese."
"Dang, you growing up on me." Nay shook her head.
"Well was the dick good?" Daja blurted.
"Um?! Can y'all not?!" Chauncey scrunched up his face.
"Had to be cause she still standing in the same spot." Zaza ignored him and pointed at me making them bust out laughing.
"I can't believe you told him that to his face like that." Lady shook her head.
