Chapter Nineteen
The following day after the incident with Kylee and Tionna at the hair shop, Kylee was in the kitchen cooking dinner when Eli walked in and slammed the door behind him.
“What the fuck?” she asked, wiping her hands on the dish towel before walking out of the kitchen.
“I can’t believe this bitch!” Eli said angrily as he walked into the living room.
“What’s happened?” Kylee asked.
“I went by the house this mornin’ to get some more of my stuff; this bitch done got the locks changed. I’m cool wit’ that. But then I go to the daycare when I get off work to see my daughter. And them muthafuckas tell me Tionna took me off Sy’onn’s emergency contact form and said not to let me pick her up ’cause I’m gon’ kidnap her.”
“What?” Kylee frowned.
“Then when I get to flippin’ out up in the daycare center, they threatened to call the police on me, so I just dipped! I’ma kill that bitch!” Eli snapped.
“Calm down, baby. We gon’ think of somethin’,” Kylee said.
“Calm down my ass; this bitch playin’ wit’ my daughter!” Eli said as he paced back and forth through the living room.
“She knows how you feel about your daughter. That’s why she playin’ these games wit’ you,” Kylee explained.
“That bitch know I will do somethin’ to her about my daughter! Then when I call the ho, she gon’ tell me not to worry about Sy and to have a baby by the bitch pussy I’ve been eatin’!”
“She too damn old to be actin’ like that,” Kylee said, shaking her head.
Eli’s phone began to ring before he could reply. “Hello?” he answered angrily. “Why the fuck you tell them people I’m gon’ kidnap my daughter, T?”
Kylee sat on the sofa and pretended to be occupied with something on TV, but was really listening in on Eli’s conversation.
“Bitch, you betta go up there in the mornin’ and put my name back on her list or we gon’ have some problems. Now think I’m playin’ if you want to,” he said, hanging up on Tionna before she could respond.
His phone rang right back. He looked at the number on the screen and saw that it was Tionna and didn’t bother answering it, tired of arguing. He said what he meant and meant what he said, and Tionna knew him well enough to know that his name better be back on their daughter’s list the next morning.
“Other than the bullshit you been goin’ through with Tionna, how was your day at work?” Kylee asked.
Eli’s phone began ringing again before he could respond. He checked the number and pushed the ignore button. “It was okay. I’m tired though,” he said.
“Well go take a shower; dinner will be ready in a few.”
“Thanks, baby,” he said walking over and giving Kylee a kiss on the lips before heading upstairs. Eli wasn’t used to having a hot meal ready for him when he got off work. When he was with Tionna he prepared all the meals. She didn’t know the first thing about cooking; only thing she was good at doing was making reservations.
Kylee walked back in the kitchen to finish preparing dinner. She loved the fact that the more Tionna continued doing stupid shit to Eli, the further she was pushing him away. Pretty soon, Eli was going to get fed up and leave Tionna for good and Kylee would be right there for him when he did.
