"You good ma?" I heard Dusse say. I was in the porch looking out at my dad's lake in his backyard. I didn't wanna be around my ex. Shit I didn't like how my dad was using him but I didn't involve myself in his business. I made it very clear when I was younger that I wanted nothing to do with it. I had no problem with learning to defend myself but I didn't want to be in shit illegal. Everything i had came from legal businesses.
"Yeah just need some fresh air." I said. He came up behind me and put my body between his arms. He didn't say anything he just stood there with his chin on the top of my head.
"This where you grew up?" He asked.
"No my daddy got this house when I was sixteen. The house I live in now is where I grew up. My brothers were all grown when I came about so it was just me and my daddy." I shrugged.
"Where your mom?" He asked.
"She sold me for 3 months when I was 9 and when my dad found out." I said.
"Shit. That's fucked up."
"Yeah but it is what it is. We should head back." I said grabbing his hand.
We went back in and they were talking about how they had his mom locked up somewhere and he needed to hurry up and pay the debt.
"Daddy let that boys mom go." I said sitting down.
"Babygirl." He said.
"Daddy I haven't been worried about Yasel or him mama for years. I mean look at him. He kinda pathetic. He's here letting you all talk to him likes he's not shit. It's sad you use to go to an ivy League school and walked around like you were untouched. Now look at you, it's sad."
"He and his mother killed my granddaughter." My daddy said.
"This isn't gonna bring her back!" I snapped hitting my hands on the table. Dusse grabbed my thigh to calm me down.
"You ever think that's your problem? You went about life like she didn't die sisy." Apollo said.
"I'm not doing this." I said getting up.
"Sit down Yasel you are dismissed." Daddy said.
"Daddy this is not up for discussion right now. Most importantly I don't wanna talk about it." I said.
"I raised all of you to have feelings and morals and you are the only one I have a hard time getting to feel shit. Since you were a toddler you wouldn't throw a fit or cry you shut down. Your daughter was killed don't that shit hurt you?"
"Yes but what choice did I have I still had to wake up everyday and go to school so I could feel like I wasn't worthless. I had to keep my mind busy you don't know what I went threw after that. You guys didn't come and see me you went about business like usual. I delt with my daughter's death in private. I have her everywhere I go buy I see not one of you got the necklace I made you all. You care so much but can't even represent MY daughter. Do any of you check on me on her birthday? No." I cried.
"Naw we not doing this let's go. You not about to stress out my baby with this shit. You hear me. Don I get that's your daughter but that's my wife now and she's carrying my seed. Respectfully drop it. I get y'all took a loss and I don't know what that feels like but I'm not willing to take the loss. Come on baby let's go." He said extending his hand. I put my hand in his and we left.
