"Mommyyyyy!" Amour screamed as I opened the door.

I smiled picking her up kissing her cheeks.

"Moraaaaa, I missed you so much baby!" I said and she giggled.

"I missed you too, I had so much funnn we went to eat we went to swim we played games!" She dragged out and I laughed listening.

"That's good baby, go take your bag upstairs real quick so I can talk to your dad."

"Okay I be right back." She said and I let her down.

"When you want me to get her next?"

"Ummmmm i don't know, I gotta talk to you."

"You trust him?" He asked and I nodded.

"I do."

"Can I meet or talk to him first? I mean we ain't never had none of our lil lovers or whatever around mora before so ion wanna seem like I'm overstepping but I do wanna make sure he gone be good around my baby." He said.

"That's completely fine, I'll let him know and maybe y'all can meet on the phone later today or something?"

"Yeah just let me know. If he come over let me talk to him while he in the car or something but ion got no problem with you having niggas around her because I wouldn't want you having a problem with me having females around her."

"Okay, welll have a good day baby daddy. Why don't you come over tomorrow for a manicure or sum them nails growing uneven."

"Girl don't play wit me, why don't you come to the shop tomorrow yo clothes a lil dingy."

"Get out." I laughed pushing him out the door.

He laughed walking out the house and I shut and locked the door.

I walked to the living room grabbing my phone dialing Kairo's number for a FaceTime.

"Yes?"

"Sooo in order for you to be able to come over here while my daughter is here ima need you to meet my baby dad. So when you come over later ima come to the car and you can talk to him. Is that cool with you?"

"Hello." I answered my phone stretching rubbing my eye.

"I'm outside ma" He said and I stood up off the couch.

Liv and Maddie was still playing and Mora was sleep on the other side of the couch.

"Okay I'm comin out now, Kyla with you?"

"Na she got in trouble so she can't leave the house for the week."

"Aww, poor baby." I said slipping my shoes.

"Anyways hurry up please I'm tired."

"Okay, you sleepin over here?"

"That's okay?"

"Of course."

I said lowkey happy, this would be his first night sleeping over.

I walked out the door and went to the car.

"It's cold as shi and you wearing shorts." He said and I shrugged.

"We was in there sleep, it's 10 at night." I said shifting in the seat so I could face him with my feet sitting up.

He took my shoes off for me and pulled my legs on him.

"Call ya baby daddy." He said and I nodded dialing his number.

"Hello?" He answered on the third ring.

"Um that guy I was talkin bout right here."

I said and he said to hand him the phone.

Kairo took it off speaker and started talking to him.

"Yea...Of course...Ian in no gang but I'm in the streets.. Yea... Nah you coo I understand.. Yes she is... Ight preciate it.." He said and hung up.

I stared at him and he looked at me licking his lips.

"What he say"

"He ain't say nun for real but come on he coo wit it." He said and I sat up putting my shoes back on.

We stepped out the car and we went to the door. I reached up around his neck and gave him a hug and he hugged my waist.

"You smell so good." I said and he chuckled.

"Thank you ma. Come on" He said opening the door.

"Let me take mora to her room." I said going to the couch picking her up.

I carried her to her room and tucked her in her bed and went by the window turning on her nightlight.

I cracked her door open a little bit and walked back to the living room.

"We can go to my room I got a tv in there. You need a shower?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yea."

"Where yo clothes?"

"Right here you ain't see the bag?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I'm blind as fuck come on." I said and we walked to my room.

I walked to my dressers blowing out the strawberry shortcake candle since it was overpowering the whole room.

"Smell good as shit in here."

"Gotta get candles from bath and body works." I said and he nodded setting the bag on the dresser.

"That's wassup. When you need to get more let me know so I can get me some too." He said taking off his chains.

"I will, the bathroom is across the hall and the folded towels are clean. Um you okay with using caress?" I asked and he nodded.

"Stop being nervous ma." He said chuckling.

"I'm not nervous."

"You is mama, look at how you doin yo feet." He pointed out and I scrunched my face up.

"How am I doin my feet?"

"Yu standing on yo toes." He said and I smacked my lips relaxing my feet.

"Stop lookin and go wash ya dick."

"Girl boo let me leave this sea world." He said and walked out my room.

"Don't ever in yo life." I laughed. Actually it was a cackle.

I grabbed all the throw pillows and took them of placing them in the basket before pulling the extra blanket off and put it in the basket as well.

I pulled my main blanket back some and layed down in my bed plugging my phone up laying it in the nightstand and grabbed my remote.

I turned on shameless and turned my lamp off leaning back.

23 minutes into the episode Kairo came in and closed my door.

"What's this?" He said scrunching his face up at Frank with braids.

"Shameless, sit down and watch it's good." I said and he layed on the other side."

"Where can I plug up my phone?" He said and I sat up.

"I mean behind that nightstand there's a plug but I got an extension cord over here if you wanna plug it up over here." I said and he handed me his phone and charger.

"Plug it up over there." He said and I did and leaned back down.

About 15 minutes later he fell asleep so I turned the tv off and went to sleep as well.
