I stretched my arms out, as my eyes fluttered open to the bright sun staring at me from outside of my window.
I sat up rubbing my eyes, looking over to the side of the bed. Where'd he go?
I heard water running in the bathroom, before Amir came out fully dressed.
"I'm about to go get Jaydin from my moms house." He said. "I'ma come too. I miss her." I asked and he nodded. I smiled getting out of the bed and heading to the bathroom.
Amir slapped my ass as I walked past him. I glared at him, before starting the shower water.
"Don't be around me naked then." He shrugged.
"It's not my first time, quit touching me." I replied, stepping into the hot shower, letting it relax my body.
"You saying quit touching you as if I wasn't in your stomach. Literally." He said, looking at himself in the mirror.
"Boy, bet you not getting in this stomach no more after last night." I told him, beginning to wash up.
"Wanna make a bet?"
"Nah." I quickly said, making sure to wash all areas on my body. "That's what I thought."
I rolled my eyes finally finishing in the shower before stepping out.
"While I lotion, can you pick me out an outfit?" I asked him. He looked at me through the mirror before leaving the bathroom and heading to my closet.
My phone dinged on my bed, and Amir picked it up.
He gone get his feelings hurt doing that.
"Amour bald head ass texted you." He said, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"If she bald headed, that mean I am too." I playfully mugged him, while applying lotion to my body.
"I never said you wasn't bald headed." He replied and my mouth dropped. Rude ass.
I began to moisturize my body, before getting dressed in the outfit that Amir had picked out for me which was black ripped jeans, my black yeezy's, and a black, white, and red graphic t-shirt.
"A simple dress would have sufficed, but thanks." I said, grabbing my phone and keys.
"Shut the hell up and let's go." He replied, making his way out of the room.
I put up my middle finger when he wasn't looking, following behind me.
"Ima break that bitch, keep playing with me."

"Oh my god, come in!" Miss Loretta, Amir's mom said, opening the door wider for me.
"You ain't been to see me in a minute wit' yo' fake ass." She exclaimed, pulling me into a big hug.
"I'm sorry! I'll come see you more ma." I chuckled, as she rocked us side to side.
"Damn, ya' son can't get no love?" Amir scoffed. Looking real jealous over there.
"I been wit' yo' ass for 23 years, leave me alone." She said, pulling away from our hug and going to hug Amir.
"Jaydin sleeping?" I asked her. I didn't hear no playing around, or cursing wit' her bad ass so she must be.
"Yeah, she just went to sleep like 10 minutes ago actually. Y'all ready to take her?"
"Yeah." Amir responded before I could.
"I'ma go get ha' I'll be back." Miss Loretta told us, before disappearing up the steps.
I sat one one of the stools by the kitchen and Amir came and sat next to me.
"I be missing you, for real Amina."
"Not right now, Amir." I shook my head. I knew he was going to bring it up sooner or later. It had been 6 months. 6 months since he let another women hit my child, 6 fucking months. I was done. Of course, I love him, he's my baby father, but the way he hurt me? A 19 year old shouldn't have to go through that.
"You'll come around sooner or later." He shrugged, as his mom came down the steps with a sleeping Jaydin.
The fuck was that supposed to mean?
"What's that supposed to mean?" I furrowed my eyes.
"You always take a nigga back, I'm not worried." He said, and I immediately scoffed. Was he serious right now?
I slightly rolled my eyes, taking Jaydin and her bag into my arms.
I kissed the side of her cheek, rocking her back and forth.
"Thank you Miss Loretta, I'll come visit you more often." I told her, as she pulled me into one more hug.
"I heard what he said to you, don't take his ass back. Me and him gonna talk." She whispered into my ear. I slowly nodded my head, pulling away from the hug.
I honestly felt like crying. He thought just because I was young and dumb, that I would just take him back again? For fuck's sake I was 17 when he cheated on me the first time, I didn't know no better.
I walked out of the house holding Jaydin tightly, heading to Amir's car. Should've drove myself.
I placed her into the car seat, strapping her up before getting in the passenger side and slamming the door shut.
"Why is you slamming shit?" Amir asked as I put my seatbelt on.
"Take me home bro." I said.
"Fuck you got an attitude fa' now? Fix it befo' I do." He threatened. So fix it then daddy.
"I don't care bout' none of that shit you saying right now, take me home."
He shook his head, pulling out of his mom's driveway and going the opposite way of my house.
"Amir!"
"I'm taking you to my crib, shut the fuck up." He snapped, causing Jaydin to wake up and start crying.
I glared at him, facing her.
"Shh, relax. Mommy's here." I placed my hand on her stomach rubbing it in circles to calm her down.
"Mama?" She immediately stopped.
I smiled at her, pulling my hand back into my lap. Amir watched us through his rear view mirror, pulling into his house driveway.
"We go home?" She asked me and I shook my head no. It hurt knowing we couldn't be one family and live together. She was way too young to understand why she had to spend some alone time with her dad and go to his house and not 'our' house.
"We're going to your daddy house." I told her.
"You come too mommy? Please." She begged. I pouted, looking at Amir and then back to her. "Okay."
"Yay! Mama come too daddy!!!" Jaydin yelled, and a small smile appeared on Amir's face.
"Yeah, come on." He said. I got out of the car, taking Jaydin out of her car seat and waiting for Amir to let us inside.
I'm only gonna stay for maybe 20 minutes the most.
