Life After Marriage Book 3

Puppy Love

AUGUST P.O.V.

“Let me do it.” Sata giggled as she held her hand out. She was sitting on the sink while, I was getting ready. She was begging to shave my face.

“Unh-Unh.”

“Whyyyyyyyyyy?”  

“Because daddy love his face and he don’t want you cutting it up.” I said while brushing my teeth.

“But when I get a man, I need to do his.”

“You ain’t getting no man.” I spit out the toothpaste and rinsed my mouth.

“Uh-huh. I got one now.”

“You got one now?” I looked at her.

“Yes.” She shyly giggled.

“What’s his name?” I drank some mouth wash, then gargled.

“I’m not telling you.” She shook her head.

I spit it out. “Why?”

“Cause you gon beat him up.”

“Munch now you know daddy better than that. I ain’t gon go beat him up.”

She shook her head no.

“Come on tell Pop-Pop. I just want to know.”

“You promise you ain’t gon beat him up?”

“Promise.” I held out my pinky finger to her.

We did a Pinky shake.

“Octavian.”

“Octagon? That’s a shape. ”

“Nooooooo. Octavian.” She giggled.

“What type of name is that?”

“It’s his name!” She defended him.

“He in your class?”

She shook her head yes. 

“Aight so when I drop you off at school today, I’m not gon beat him up.”

“Good.”

“I’mma stuff him in a locker.”

“Daddyyyyyyyy!” Sata said loudly.

I laughed got my shaving cream out my shaving bag.

“Please don’t do that. My heart would be broken.” She gave a sad face and dramatically touched her heart.

I bursted out laughing.

She sucked her teeth. “That’s not funny daddy.”

“It is. You’re six. What you know about heartbreak?”

“A lot.”

“A lot?” I put the shaving cream on my face.

“Mm-hmm. He…he broke my heart when he talked about my hair so I had to beat him up.”

“That’s the little boy you beat up?”

She shook her head yes.

“But he…he bought me a gift so we in love again.”

“A gift? Shouldn’t no little boys be buying you gifts.”

“You buy mommy gifts all the time.”

“Me and your mother are married.” I started shaving my face.

“Me and Octavian getting married when we get big.”
