Toddrick “Mia

Shae was supposed to have been hoo I knew she’d clocked out at the job because she sent ht before she did it Maybeall types of crazy shit that could have possibly happened to her, which is why I had been pacing this fuckin’ living room for the past ten es, and I had called her phone more than ten times

I felt like a la my own shorty, but because of the fucked-up shit that happened o between her and Dino, I had to be overprotective like this On top of that, I hadher location, but that really wasn’t any help because I didn’t know if she wasn’t around service or what, but it couldn’t pick up a proper location

To say I was stressed was a fuckin’ understate this floor the sao when I was at the hospital with Tahira, praying to God that the baby she told me we had conceived really wasn’t mine There wasn’t much in life that could cause me to stress, but when it cah blood pressure behind her because I honestly just cared that much

I was just about to call Jashae’s cell phone again, but all of a sudden, I heard a car door slalanced out of the , and it was her getting out of her Lexus truck First thing that I noticed was that she didn’t turn her car off when she got out She probably was able to feel the heat of my eyes on her because, eventually, she peered over at me I don’t knohy, but I could just sense that she was about to be on some bullshit I walked away from the , just so I could meet her at the door Stress, weariness, and maybe even a little bit of disappointment ritten all over her face

“Why the car still running? Your phone broke or so you back to back for damn near the last forty- five , shorty, you not in no fuckin’ predica happened to your ass!” I barked

At the same time, I snatched the phone out of her hands, only to see that she had a battery that was charged more than fifty percent On top of that, I saw all of the e notifications on the home screen

“I’ for you to tell me why—”

“I have Trip’s daughter in the car,” she blurted out Hearing her say that shut ht up I even put the blunt out because I all of a sudden didn’t even feel like sood twenty seconds, just to see if she was bullshitting ed She wouldn’t even look at me; she knew that this shit was foul

I personally kne timid Shae was, especially with all the shit that had been happening in her life The biggest one right noas her having to go to court in a feeeks for running up in Taylor’sto be considerate of her feelings, but at the saive a fuck about her feelings She obviously didn’t give a fuck about hter over here I didn’t like that shit, and I wasn’t going to pretend that I did

“For what?” I si my words

“Miae at my job I couldn’t just leave her there Technically, that’s Vonte’s sister, and—”

“Yo, leave Vonte out of this shit I see what you’re doing, shorty Since you want to throw blood out there, then that’s Trip’s fuckin’ daughter! You’re not a Therefore, that doesn’t ot his ass locked up, and he serving a life sentence, we supposed to be the ones in charge of his child? Fuck outta here with that, ed as if she didn’t know
