diabla

her world

6 years later

"and she was like i'm a vampire, and i was like nuh uh, and she was like yuh huh, and i was like no you weirdo and she started crying and the teacher was like did you make her cry and i was like i told her she wasn't a vampire" i heard my cute daughter ramble about her day as i served her dinner.

"thanks mommy, and the teacher was like to the girl, honey you're not a vampire and i was like i told you, and then she was like she called me a weirdo and then i was like nu uh and then the teacher was like go put your pin down."

"cam, please don't call the other kids in your school weirdos." i said

"who called who a weirdo" asked andrew walking in

"uncle drew!" yelled cameron jumping off her chair and running towards andrew.

"hi princess. what's up" he said carrying her back to her chair. we put cheeks together and made a kiss sound and he sat down.

"want some food?" i asked

"yes please." he said smiling. i served him some food. "what's up kiddo" he asked again

"well this girl in my school got me in trouble today"

"nu uh" he said dramatic

"uh huh" said cameron even more dramatic by slamming her hands on the table

"tell me everything"

i'm hearing this story again. i don't know why she says like a lot. she started to ramble and andrew listened and made exercise sounds when she said something with sass which made me laugh a bit. i love how well he treats her. he's like in love with her.

"hey val , are we going to do anything for your birthday" asked andrew

"uh no. i'm busy with work"

"you're always busy" said cameron

"i know baby, but i don't need anything. i already have everything i need" i said grabbing her hand. she smiled softly.

"your mom is such a party pooper. we'll just do it when you're not busy" said andrew

cameron's face light up. "yeah! we can have a party! with cake and balloons and and those long paper things" she said making two long Us.

"streamers?" asked andrew

she nodded and smiled. her green eyes were popping. she was so excited. she looks so pretty. i did a good job.

she kept talking about everything she wanted to do and we listened. andrew pitched in with ideas. it's crazy i'm turning 26. almost 26 and still no husband. 13 year old me would be disappointed and disgusted. at least i'm rich as i said i was gonna be.

"alright party girl. let's go time to go" said andrew

she sighed. she jumped out of the chair and took her plate to the sink. andrew takes care of cameron when i'm on my night shift.

"we are going to go shopping" he said trying to make cameron a bit happier.

i put my plate in the sink. i carried cameron and she hugged me. i hate leaving her. i would think i would stop feeling this feeling after a year of her being born as the doctor said. something about me being super attached to her. but it's been 6 years. it's been 6 years she's getting so old.

"bye mommy. i will bring back your favorite candy from the store"

"okay baby. have fun okay. i'll see you in the morning" i said

she nodded and gave her a kiss on her forehead. andrew smiled and gave me a hug.
"be safe"

"you too" i said.

"c'mon bailey"

"don't call me bailey!" she said embarrassed

"hey! that's your uncles name"

"his NAME is uncle gray not uncle bailey" she said with sass.

i laughed a bit.

"bye val" said andrew

"bye" they walked out. i smiled slightly. i went upstairs to get ready for work.

"can't believe i'm doing this bull" i said to aubree as we walked downtown

"hey you wanted to come" she said smiling

"i regret it" i said. we went into an alley. i saw a dude in all black wait for us.

"you lance?" asked aubree

"matters who's asking" he said

"your fucking owner" i said. he looked at me and bit his lip.

"i don't mind"

i opened my mouth showing a razor blade in my mouth. he lifted his hands.

"cough up" said aubree.

"i know i know" he whispered and gave us money. i counted it quickly. he has all of it. that's a first. i nodded and caite gave him our product.

"i got bank now." he said smiling

"you still owe lance" i said

he scoffed "how much"

"500" i said

"500!" he said shocked "no, no, no, no way, no"

"mistake" said aubree

"700"

"wha-"

"900"

"ma, i ain't coughing up shit"

"11 hundred and you walk away with your nuts" i said spitting the blade in my hand.

"you gotta be fucking shitting me" he mumbled and started to count his money. i have to admit, it was fat stack. he got frustrated and just handed over the entire stack. i looked at it. he gave me three hundred more. i threw his hundreds at him and walked away with aubree.
