*Kim
All eyes were on me waiting for me to open up.
"First I wanna say I love you" I stroked her now black hair
"love you too mommy" she smiled
"Okay that night when you left was not suppose to happen and for that I'm sorry" I started
"....mommy was in a bad place it started shortly after your father and I broke up and you were born" I confessed
"...when you left" I turned to Nasir
"I was pregnant with Leigh when that big fight you and I had, I just didn't know" I felt the tears build up
*Nasir
Sitting here listening to Kim tell us her whole life story, brought back so much feelings I've been hiding.
I didn't know she was pregnant that night and now I feel 10x worst.
"So after I found out that I was having a baby and you were climbing up the charts I didn't wanna hold you back" she spoke calmly
"But still we could have took care of her TOGETHER" I told her
"I know" she said lowly
"...I just wanted you to have the success you deserve" she looked down
"But I rather had you and Leigh" I told her speaking truthfully
"Really?" she questioned
"Yes I was madly in love with you, and I wanted a family" I poured my heart out
She just looked at me, at the same time as Leigh.
"And I'm sorry I wasn't there when you need me, and you too" I looked at Leigh.
"Your here now papa" Leigh got up and hugged me.
"Yea your here now" Kim came in the hug
Just then Eva came walking through the door. Coming to a stop when she seen everyone.
*Eva
I didn't expect to see Kim here, hugging Nasir and Leigh so I was taking back.
"Well hello" I forced myself to smile
"Hey babe" Nasir broke from the hug to give me a kiss
"Him I'm Kim" she extended her hand
"Nice to meet you I'm Eva" I shook her hand then hugging my baby girl Leigh I really do love her, like she came from me.
"How was your day?" I asked her still hold her
"Good how was your day?" she smiled up at me
"Long but you know how I do" I laughed
"Indeed I do" she kissed my cheek
"So what do you guys want for dinner?" I asked turning to Kim and Nasir
"Iono" He said lowly
"Kim any suggestion?" I smiled at her
"um iono but if you need any help I will love to" she smiled back
"What you want to eat baby girl" I turned to Leigh
"Um so salmon" she laughed
"Salmon it is then" I went towards the kitchen
"Thank yoooouuu" Leigh sung out
"It's all for you love" I took a pot out and start cooking.
By all means I want Leigh to enjoy this time with her mother, I don't have anything to worry about simply because I have Nasir.
*Nasir
Having my girlfriend and ex girlfriend
In the same house is kinda weird.
"You okay babe?" Eva kissed me bringing me back from my thoughts
"Yea I'm good" I spoke
"Okay dinner will be ready in a few" She smiled, I swear I love this women. I probably wouldn't be where I am without her, but at the same time Kim helped set that up.
I looked at Leigh who was sitting close to Kim watching a movie big smiled on their face, a beautiful sight to see.
I went to my office to get some letters that I was suppose to send to Kim, but never got the nerve to do it.
*Graham
I was sitting in my room chilling, thinking about Leigh. I don't like the fact that she's in love with old dude. I know I have Teah, but I came to terms that she's really here for me. I pulled myself up off my bed going to my closet to get a sweat shirt and a pair of J's.
I grabbed my phone and keys and headed to my car.
----
I found myself parked out front of her house.
I got out and went to knock on her door. Ms. Eva answered.
"Hi honey" she smiled
"hi can I speak to Leigh" I asked
"yea sure can honey let me go get her" she smiled
A few moments later Leigh came back out with one of my hoodies clung to her body.
"Wassup?" she smiled
"Hey" I pulled her into a hug
"What's going on?" she smiled
"Nuh just was thinking about you" I told her, which was true.
"I been thinking bout you ooo noo" she sung smiling.
"You crazy" I sat on the steps
"Oh yes guess what? My mom is here" she smiled really big
"really I'm happy for you" I put my arm around her
"Yea I'm really happy she's here, and to have Mikey here too is great like old times" I respect that she loves him,but I wanna be the one she's in love with call me selfish but it's true.
"That's good" I forced a smile on my face
"You no happy Grammy" She grabbed my check's
"Yea I'm real happy for you love" I smiled for real this time
"thank you what's going on in your world?" she put her head in her hands
"Nothing much work" I told her
"You should eat with us" she pointed out
"Hecks yea if mama cooking" I joked
"Your so fat" she poked me
"A I work out" I poked her back
"I bet" She covered up her smile
"Why do you do that?" I pulled her hand away from her mouth
"Cause iono" She smiled again
"Well don't you cute" I told her
"Well thank you Mr. Graham" she laid her head on my chest tracing the letters on my sweat shirt.
"Where's Micheal" I asked almost scared of the answer
"He's on his way real quick" she closed her eyes
"Oh" I said simply she looked up at me
"What's wrong?" She asked
Leigh and I been through this before I've confessed my feelings millions of times to her, she know how I feel.
"Nothing"I looked down at my shoes
Leigh and I aren't a couple all though I want to be I respect her wishes, even if I don't agree with it, I respect it.
"Don't act like that towards me please babe" she wrapped her arms around my waist
"I'm not" I said pulling her closer
"Good cause you know I love you"
"I know" I said
"You broke up with Teah yet?" She questioned
That's the thing I wanna be with Leigh, but Teah don't wanna break up.
"Naw" I said knowing that we were about to fight.
She freed her arms from around me
"And why not?" She asked with angry clearly in her voice
"Have you broken up with Micheal yet?" I shot back
"Now you know I didn't so why would you even ask?!" she yelled looking up at me
"yea so why you questioning me!" I yelled back
"Cause you wanna pulled out your heart to me, but still have a girl" Her eyes changed from blue to gray
"And you did the same so you ain't no better" I told her
She rolled her eyes "I'm not going there with you, my mothers here and I just don't care" She said trying not to care
"Ard then" I proceeded to get up
"Where are you going" She jumped up
"Home" I told her simply
"But why" She yelled
"Cause I'm tired of going back and forth with you, of pulling my heart out only for you to tell me you feel the same but still be with old dude" I told her calmly
"But.......but I do feel the same" She cried pulling on my arm
"No you don't" I pulled my arm back
"I do tho" her tears streaming down her face
Any other time I would care about her crying, but I'm tired of her playing with my heart, my heart is crying.
I tried walking to my car but she kept pulling my arm.
'Graham stop" She kept yelling
"What Leigh" I turned to her
"Stop, STOP I'm sorry" she pulled and hugged on me, I didn't hug her back.
"Please Graham?!" she said into my chest
I wrapped my arms around her feeling my sweat shirt shocked from her tears
"Just come in" she looked up at me
I just stood their thinking for a minute before walking up the steps with her.
We walked right up the steps because the adults were in the backyard.
She opened her door pulling me to her bed laying her head on my chest.
"Are you still mad?" she said lowly
I didn't say anything I just stayed quite.
"Graham I'm sorry" She said again
"I'm not mad" I told her
She looked up at me to see if I was lying.
"I love you" She closed her eyes laying her head back on my chest
"Love you too" I held her tighter
