Genesis

"I'm so glad I'm done breastfeeding." I sip my Hennessey out the bottle as Kamar cusses me out.

"Is you even listening to me? Do you even hear the words coming out my mouth right now you fuckin junkie?" He snatches my liquor.

"Give my shit back." I hop up and he backs up as I come near him.

"Delete that shit off yo story Genesis! Soon as you delete that bullshit I'll give yo shit back." He demands.

"Oh my fucking-" I smack my teeth pulling my phone out.

I delete my "single" snap and show him. Enough niggas den slid up anyway. He ain't stopping shit.

"There nigga is you fucking happy?" I snatch my bottle back and toss my phone on the bed.

"Delighted." He mugs me.

"I am single tho so ion know what dis whole lil fuss was about." I roll my eyes.

"The problem is you was tryna advertise yoself to niggas when we not even broken up forreal." He scrunches his face up.

"Anyways, you ready to rub this stuff on my belly?" I ask picking the bottle up off my dresser.

"I'ma start making you make yo other baby daddies do this shit fa you." He snatches it.

"If youn want to it's fine nigga you can leave." I reach for it back but he won't let me grab it.

"Lay down." He mugs me.

"I think I'ma get a mommy makeover." I lay down and he sits down next to my stomach.

"Fa what?" He looks at me crazy.

"For my body? I want it back to normal. I'm only 22 and got allese stretchmarks and allis cellulite and my belly is soggy." I sigh.

"Yo body is perfect." He looks at me dumb.

"Under clothes yeaa but..." I trail off.

"You go through this after every pregnancy Genesis. You refuse to use birth control because pregnancy is a blessing from God. So is ya belly and dem stretch marks. You contradicting yoself." He says rubbing the cream on me while I go quiet.

"Ain't shit wrong witchu or yo body." He looks at me genuinely.

"You hear me?" He asks.

"Y-yea." I wipe my nose.

...

"Where's y'all brother?" I ask the kids as they stuff in the back of the car Kamar's letting me use.

"Jevan?" Cia asks.

"Yea. Where is he?" I ask.

"Umm he got into a fight so they sent him to the office." Karter says.

"The fuck? Nobody called me. Where is he na tho? He still in'ere?" I scrunch my face up.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since the fight in the cafeteria." He shrugs.

I sigh and go park in a parking spot.

"All y'all get out." I turn the car off and hop out.

I go get Kamira's carrier and watch everybody get out. I lock the door and start walking.

"Y'all get in fronna me." I wave em in front of me.

We file into the front office, it's a bunch of kids and parents in here since school just ended.

"Y'all sit down." I tell em while I get in line.

"Hello." The old white front desk lady I can't fucking stand greets me.
