3 weeks later,

It's been about three weeks since I last talked to Messiah. He acts like I don't even exist and I don't know why but it makes me mad. Probably because I like all his attention on me.

Vonte and I are currently sitting in my car on a corner selling some stuff before I have to go to work. I got my car fixed sometime last week. I paid for my windows and shit and Vonte paid for it to be painted. I'm moving into my new apartment on Sunday which is in 5 days. It is currently Tuesday no.

"Bro, do you really think Justin Bieber is a lizard?" I heard Vonte said. He's high as hell. "Nigga what?" "Tanya made me watch this YouTube video with her and they said he was a lizard, do you think so?" "Nigga I don't know, why'd they say that" "imma have to show you the YouTube video" I nodded.

When I got to work I was a little earlier than usual. I looked at the door when I heard it open. It was Messiah and today he brought Delilah with him. She looked liked she was crying. Her eyes were puffy and she had some dried up tear stains.

When he put her down she automatically ran to Mayla. "TT da was mean" Mayla fake gasped. "Really what he do?" She said acting interested. I then blocked their conversation out and started playing games on the computer in front of me. After a while I heard a few taps on my desk. "How many appointments I got today?" Messiah said.

I was honestly surprised he talked to me. He's been asking Mayla for his appointments recently. I told him his amount and he walked away.  Before I could in my thoughts I felt a hard ass slap on my head. I looked up to see Vonte start running.

We were both fast runners due to us basically running from the cops for a living. But he was slightly faster.

He ran to the back of the shop and right when I was about to catch him he ran behind pops. "Don't be running in my gotdamn shop" he yelled slapping us both on the side of our heads. "Pops I didn't even doing anything" I said walking away holding my head.

As the shop was closing I made my way to the back of the shop and busted in the room I came back here for.

"Did I say come in?" Messsiah said slightly confused. I noticed he had Delilah in his lap putting on her coat. "I'm hungry" I just wanted a reason to talk to him but I was also kinda hungry "what does that have to do with me?" "Take me somewhere" "no" "yes" I heard Delilah little voice say. "I eed food" I hear her say again. "I'll take you to get food but he's not coming" he said to the little girl.

I mugged him. "Why not?" He got out his seat putting Delilah on the floor. He ignored me. I watched as Delilah ran off to where Mayla disappeared to. "Messiah" he ignored me again. So I kicked him. Hard as hell too.

He snatched me up pushing me in the closest chair. "Justus I ain't put my hands on you so don't put your fucking hands on me" he roughly let me go. "You ain't even have to do all that" I whined. I watched as he put in his coat.

"You really not gonna take me?" "Stop pouting and come on" he walked out the room. I'm guessing he went to get Delilah. I went to the front to wait for Messiah. He walked out the door and I followed. I watched as he buckled Delilah up.

"What you want to eat D?" Messiah said. "Fil-a" she said getting excited. He then looked at me. "Is that fine with you?" I nodded. Delilah talked the whole ride. But I didn't mind because she was an interesting little girl.

"Are you da boyfriend?" that question caught me off guard. "No" I said awkwardly. "Why?" "Delilah" Messiah said in a warning tone. "Hmmph, meanie" she said crossing her arms. I just let out a little laugh.

We were now on our way to Vonte's apartment so he could drop me off. This time the card ride was quiet. That was because Delilah was in the backseat sleep with a French fry in her hand. I laughed at the sight.

"So what did you and Brandon do?" "Braylen" he corrected me. I mugged him. "I don't care what Bailey's name is" "so why do you want to know what we did? It's none of you business" he said turning the corner. We had like a good 2 minutes before we arrived.

"Oh" I said. "I know you're not mad" "I'm not" "Justus you have no reason to be mad" "k" he was about to say something else but he decided against it. When we pulled up to the house he wouldn't unlock the doors. "Unlock the doors" "nah" "nigga what?" He looked back to see if Delilah was still sleeping and she was.

"Talk to me" I mugged him. I didn't want to talk to him. "Why you mad at me?" He said turning my head to look at him. "Look at me when I'm talking to you" "you ain't my dad" I said pushing his hand off of my chin. "I didn't say I was, J" oh so he calls me 'J' now.

He didn't even do anything to me for real I don't know why I'm mad at him.

"Messiah did you fuck Bailey?" I asked. He looked around outside trying to avoid me. So I got my answer. "Cool" I said getting more salty. "You mad?" He said. I shrugged. "Baby you can't get mad. You did the same thing" "I'm not trippin, I ain't gay. I just think it's funny how you kissing up on me" "J we kissed one time and you told me to fuck off because you're not gay" "I'm not" "okay? So what's the problem?" "There isn't one you're delusional"

He sat there just thinking. "Can I leave now?" I said holding the door handle. He looked over at me starring mad hard. "Nigga can I get my face back? Open the damn door and go talk to Bailey" "are you jealous?" I looked at him like he was stupid. "Of?" "I don't know you tell me, J" "ain't noting to tell because I'm not open the door." I said raising my voice a little.

He grabbed me by my with little pressure. "Who you raising your voice at? Calm yourself for you wake up my daughter" he said putting a little more pressure. Who does he think he's talking to? But I did listen because I started speaking in a softer voice. "Can I go now?" He pulled me forward by my next giving me a soft peck. I didn't kiss back nor did I pull away.

I heard the door unlock and I opened it. I got out the car and closed it. Pussy ass nigga tried to bitch me out.
