Trapgirl: Thugs Know Love

Chapter 16: Chances

***

I wish I could believe you
Then I'll be alright
But now everything you told me
Really don't apply

To the way I feel inside
Loving you was easy once upon a time
But now my suspicions of you have multiplied
And it's all because you lied

Resentment- Beyonce

"Your daughter? Daya your daughter man?" I asked getting light headed.

"That's my baby girl," he said. "And it seems like you just broke my baby girl heart. You know this not about to be good for you huh?"

It all made sense now. I started communicating with Snake right around the same time I started taking to Daya. They looked alike too now that I knew what the deal really was.

"Speak nigga," Snake said hitting me upside the head. "You would speak if you knew what was best for you and your ass would be speaking if this was about some money."

I  leaned up against my car. I didn't know how to answer this dude. What was I gonna say? I fucked some chick that wasn't your daughter. I could not bring myself to put anything out of my mind. I just stared at the ground confused.

"Get in the truck," he ordered getting in himself.

"Nah man, I'm good woah." I said. This dude night really just kill me for what I did. I opened my car door to get in, but one of his guards grabbed me and pushed me in the truck.

"IT WASN'T A CHOICE TES! GET IN THE FUCKIN TRUCK!" he ordered. If I had my gun, I would have just put all of em down and went on. But since I didn't, I just did as I was told.

The truck was all black on the interior. It smelled like it just was sold off the lot. When I was in, we started driving. 

"Let me just go man! I didn't know that Daya was your fuckin daughter!" I pleaded. 

"So that's your damn excuse. If she was anybody else daughter it wouldn't matter. What if that was your daughter?" he asked. 

I realized that we were pulling onto the highway.

"Look. I'm sorry," I said. "I fucked up and I know that. If I could turn back the hands of time to last night, I would have never told your daughter the things I told her, or do things that I did with another female. I'm trying to get her back, I swear I am. My damn brother just died so to be honest, I dont know what the hell Im doing right now for real for real. My bad Snake. I dont want see her hurt either bruh." I told him from the bottom of my heart.

"I liked you Tes, I really did." he said. "I was hesitant at first allowing you to be with my daughter but I saw how much she liked you and you treated her well. But the second somebody treat her wrong, they have to pay a price. That's my only child and she deserve everything in this world. The things that I couldn't give her."

Snake sat in the car staring out of the window for a few seconds. I was so lost with this all.

"You seem a bit confused."

"Shit yea man. How the hell is Daya your daughter?"

"Well you see when two people knock the boots..." he started but I cut him off.

"Nah man, I get that part. Just how you know?" I asked him.

He went back silent for a few seconds and then started to talk.

"Well when me and Daya's mother met, we were both in college. Both on the track to graduate. Sophomores exactly. She was gonna be a nurse, and I was studying computer engineering. The Christmas of our junior year, her mother got pregnant with Daya. We were both scared. This would change our lives and neither of us knew how to take care of a child. It really was hard for her mother. She wanted her child of course, but she also didnt wanna stop everything she worked for. We wanted Daya to stay with her grandmother but no way in hell Mrs. Mae was about to let that happen. We both agreed that she would continue to go to school pregnant."
