Gangsta//Joker

Dada dearest-bonus chapter

Wiping off the counter i sigh listening to nala crying softly in her room. For the past week she been crying herself to sleep and guess why? For joker. Im not sure what he did to my kid in the past 3 days he had her but she wouldnt go to sleep without him. All through the day she'd laugh play eat and run around just fine without thinking about him but she wouldnt go to bed without him, so i was forced to let her cry herself to sleep.

I'd been here with Nala at Jokers place and he even started talking to me a little. We all sat around the table eating steak mashed potatoes and Nalas favorite: Baby carrots. Even though 3 of us sat at the table there was only 2 plates on the table because she preffered to eat from other peoples plates instead of her own which by the looks of it joker already knew since they were both eating off his plate. I wish i couldve been there to see how he realized that.

"Da i want that" she said from her seat on the table pointing to his steak and he groaned.

"It has blood in it" he says bluntly and she scrunches her face up pouting at him but he doesnt budge and continues eating his potatoes which she throws her spoon on the floor. Tears start to build up in her eyes but he gives her a stern look which she begins to sniffle to and i want to pick her up so bad but thats why she was the way she is now.

"What did i teach you?" He says to her and she begins glaring through her little whine and i cant help the "aww" that escapes my mouth until she snatches it off the plate taking a bunch of tiny bites.

"Da said dont ask just take it" she smiles happily as she takes more bites and i watch as jokers glare falls and he laughs, like the way he use to laugh at me not the fake sarcastic one that puts fear in people. I cant help the smile on my face as nala reaches across taking a sip of my soda remembering im still here. One of jokers goons come up to us and slide him a tablet and i frown remembering one of our last arguments about no work at the diner table. He sends me a challenging look and i know its because he remembers as well, were both thrown from our stairing contest when nala grabs it and throws it on the floor the only sound heard is the shattering of glass.

"No no no" she says waving her finger still holding the steak in her other hands.

Thats when joker realized things had gotten to domestic for him he said "we were making him weak and getting in his way" which lead to a explosive argument that started to get physical so now here i am back in my place. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up and i quickly grab the knife turn around and push it up against the person who decided it would be smart to break in and sneak up on me.

"Thats no way to apologize doll now is it?" He ask with a stupid smirk and i scrunch up my nose.

"Apologize?" I question and begin laugh "you fuckd me up mentally, kidnapped my child and then kicked us out in the rain and you want me to apologize? I know ive done some fuckd up stuff said things i didnt mean and stabbed you a few times but i was always there when your selfish ass needed me" i growl in his face.

"You dont need me ashton and you never did so dont make it seem like you did you didnt need my connects nor have to use me" he snaps backs only for my glare to drop.

"Your still mad about what i said 3 years ago? Get over it grow up ok? Im not worried about you or your selfish ways im worried about nala who i need you to stay away from and not project your problems onto" i snap pushing away when i hear her cry's.

"Shes crying?" He ask pushing me off and begins walking to her. I stand in shock at how quick he was to drop everything for her. Quickly coming out of my state of shock i go to stop him but he yells out through the house.

"Is that a little monster i hear?" He yells and she makes a weird sound making me tilt my head in confusion. Following him into her room i watch as he squats down to her level, puts his smile tattoo covered hand over her mouth and she quickly wipes her tears once she realizes whats on his hand. "Now monster whats all the water works for?" He ask and she sighs.
