He said it wasn't his

Chapter 19 - Back home

Jared Pov

I was jamming to the music thinking about Camille and Diamond. I thought about what my father said earlier and wanted to call him right back and give him a piece of my mind. Before I could go through with it I pick up my phone from the cup holder and turn it back on and dial a number I knew by heart.

"hello" she answers

"hey, good afternoon" I smile

"hey, did you make it yet" she asked

"Nah, just in west Virginia right now" I reply watching as this red jeep pass me by

"Damn, you travel fast" she laughs

"No, I just left early around 10 or was it 11 clock" speaking out loud

"umm...well we miss you and hope you come back soon"

"Oh I plans too, I miss you both too" I sigh out loud

"what wrong?" Camille asked hearing his tone of voice

"it's just my dad on my ass again" shakes his head

"well, are you ready talk about him" Camille ask

I paused for a second debating about it. He wasn't sure if he should he should talk to her about his daddy problems. He know that he should be more open with her then he is now. What can he lost she wasn't his yet! But he had future plans to make it happen.

"yeah, my dad mad about me been M.I.A. from work for two weeks" I explain

"so, you need a break. You have been working your ass off for what? Seven years or nine years without vacation time.

I nod "yeah, true but my old man don't care about shit like that. He didn't even know my true reason coming down there for until recently"

"what did you tell him" she asked

"I came to see my family" I paused for a second to get on the right lane "than, he got on my ass about what family I have in New York he doesn't know"

"why the fuck is he so nosy, it's your life. Your thirty two years old man who can make his own mind." She raised her voice slightly

"that's what I told him, let's just say our conversation didn't go well" I said

Camille sighs and walking down the stairs and sits on the couch.

"I wish you here with me. So, I could cuddle up to you can comfort you" Camille says softly.

"me too" I pause "I miss all of you and diamond"

"she does miss her daddy a lot" chuckles and lays back.

I laugh as I listen to her go on and on about how Diamond had this little crush on this kid. I felt some kind of way about it knowing she is only nine and she likes boys already. I eventually told her I will have to call her back later. After minute or two, my father calls again asking where I was and he needs me back there asap. I knew what he was doing. He wasn't worried about the job but about my love life with Camille. After the back and forth bickering we end the call. I want to wring his neck talking about Camille like that she was more than just any booty call. She is the mother of my child and my wifey to be. My father never met Camille personally because of the constant disrespectful things he said about her at all cost. There were many times I and my father fought verbally but never physical. I love my dad very much but his mouth is my problem and it makes me not even want to be around him or like him. At times his cool and fun to be around him than other times he like this bulldog who is just so suck up and selfish. I was reliving the phone call again/

" Explain to me what about this girl or better yet! What she had in her pants is worth more than any other chick you ever slept with. Cause I know damn while she didn't hold herself for you and I bet there probably another man in her life." He throws it in my face like a hot sack of potatoes.

I was stunned silent for a minute and was pissed off at the fact he hit the truth on the notch. He was such an asshole when he wanted to be. I breathe through the anger and counted.

" dad, if you know how right you are but that doesn't mean shit to me because she still mines regardless of that punk-ass Douglas she is dating. We fuck many times and you know what so messed up about it "I asked

"I advise you to lower your voice son" my dad warns me

"She still wants to fucking test the waters" I yelled

" Jared miles Daniels, if you don't lower your voice so help me god I would do it for you " he voice raising loud

I breathed and sigh shaking my head crossing on to Philadelphia my dad gives me an ear full of what I'm doing isn't responsible and that it's very childish of me some shit like that. If I could make a book on my father I would start off by saying that my father never was the type to fool around and talk friendly to you no he will tell your ass flat out like your feeling aint shit to him. I remember dad coming home from work and he was on my ass like hot rice.

Flashback

" Miles! Where the hell are you ? " he asked

" I'm in my room dad, wait right there have to finish cleaning first " I told him

All I remember hearing footsteps and me picking up clothes dad storms in my room. He watch me as I finch then took a seat on my chair and adjusted for me to sit to. I watch him cation wonder what he will about to ask me question

" let me get this straight you're in love with this...."

" Camille, is her name dad. she perfect for me" I point

" how old is she? " he questions

My dad is tall and well-built muscles fair brown skin and a head mess of curls and full mouth of teeth that since when he smiles.

" She well be seventeen in a few more days dad" I replied

My dad just nods and pats me on the back "just be careful who you give your heart to" then he left my room.

Flashback over

Camille Pov

My thoughts had been wandering off lately and I tried many times to call Douglas but I couldn't get him. So, I just said fuck it and let him called me whenhe can. I was just finishing up cleaning around the house when I heard a knock on the door thinking it was Jared. I walk to the door and opens it without asking who is it and I was shocked to see.

"Camille? I'm so sorry" he said holding her favorite flowers and teddy bear with a card with a small box in his hand.
