It was by the grace of God that et aith the shit because she had the same curly hair texture that Billion had when he was a little boy What people didn’t understand is that before I put dreads in ot that froot hit with that charge and had to do five years

Although I hated the situation, I’ll ad the closest we’d ever been Maybe it was the jail talk, or perhaps he was just being nice to me, so I would take my ass down to the prison every other weekend and hook him up with some pussy, but in prison is when my love for Billion really picked up

While I was holding Billion down as he served his sentence, Reggie had cohter and me for almost a year, the non-contact order was lifted, and he was able to coe had put us on a peaceful contact order, so if the nigga even so much as raised his voice at me, I could call them boys on him, and his ass would be back in jail I wasn’t petty like that, though, so I wouldn’t snitch on hiain and put his hands on et his ass buried under the prison

For the first few a wouldn’t say shit toarounda new baby on my

hip that he thought belonged to the next nigga but was actually his When he ca her back That year that he and I spent apart, I felt like it changed him because this was the hter’s life Although Billion had left ie was leaving money as well for Rylo

After a to each other Eventually, I was back fuckin’ hi back with Reggie, especially since Billion was hoot all the shit he proie was so fuckin’ toxic, a wason the door to pick up Khari It’s like, what the fuck did he want him to do? Blow the horn when he pulled up? Nah, that shit was lame

“Reggie, please don’t start your shit this hter, and then you and I can go to breakfast like we planned Damn, calm down,” I fussed at him, as I finished the last baby hair on Khari

I had been putting her hair in two ponytails for the last twentyher hair done I was the sae of four, my mama hadthe, like downNow, I had them where they stopped a few inches below the row some more

“You a fe on the door with all that authority, like he runs soa should have stayed his ass behind those four walls,” Reggie snapped

I kissed o ahead and open the door for her father because she didn’t need to witness this conversation One, Reggie was talking fuckin’ crazy thisall of those curse words Two, I didn’t need Khari to go back and repeat this conversation to Billion because she was known for telling people’s business

Today was supposed to be a good day with just Reggie andup It wasn’t every day that we got to chill without the kids around My etting ready to leave But if this nigga kept on, I didn’t even know if I wanted to be around him at all today

Reggie didn’t live there, but he was right about paying the bills He felt that he had to pay the bills since this here his daughter laid her head, but hi the bills, I swear that caa always felt the need to rea or his money If he only knew the amount of money that Billion wired me the other day, he would shit bricks On top of that, I still had a lot of money left fro me to use the

During our prison talks, Billion was always pushing me to start my own hair business, where I either did dreads or retwisted them There wasn’t a soul alive who could fix up some dreads the way I could I was stopped in public all the ti to knoho maintained and styled my dreads I would always tell them that I did my own hair, and they would as if I did hair professionally, but the answer to that question was no I couldn’t stand to be around a whole bunch of people Call me crazy, but I loved the fact that I didn’t have to work because both of reat care of me I loved it here

Looking over at Reggie, anyone with two eyes could see that this nigga was too damn fine Just like Billion, he had that chocolate skin tone that I absolutely adored When it ca about those dark-skinned niggas with that doht skinned niggas were too weak, and theas be in more competition to look better than you than these bitches, and I didn’t like that

Reggie rocked a low cut He tried to ju waves in his hair, but his shit just wasn’t swi A bitch could stand up in his waves; I swear you didn’t drown in them like Billion’s waves It didn’t take away froh
