Dinner was a damn disaster.

Ella was fine when I picked her up from her mom’s but was full of attitude from the moment we stepped into Jo’s house. She barely spoke to her, turned her nose up at her house, and nibbled at her food in silence, basically ignoring Jo’s attempts to make conversation with her. I was pissed but could deal with all of that. It was when she rolled her eyes at Nat when she tried to share her pizza with her that I almost lost it. That was when I realized just how much like her mother she really was and knew I should’ve fought for joint custody when she was smaller. At the time, I was working like a madman and thought Esther could provide a more stable environment for her and that visitation would work better for me. Now I could see letting Esther take the lead on raising her had been a huge mistake.

And I could tell the whole scene was breaking Jo’s heart, making her feel bad, and it wasn’t her fault. If it was anyone’s, it was mine. So I took Ella home in Jo’s truck with my security following us in mine. “You wanna tell me what your problem is?” I asked, cutting through the silence filling the vehicle.

“Nothing,” she mumbled.

“Oh, it’s something wrong with you to act like you did tonight. You don’t like Jo?”

I glanced at her in time to see her roll her eyes.

“Ella, let me tell you something, unless you having a seizure, don’t roll them eyes at me no more. You got a mouth. Tell me what’s wrong with you.”

“She’s a gold digger, Daddy. Everybody knows that except for you.” Her eyes were on the street ahead of us.

“Where you get that from? Tea Steepers, The Hip-Hop Scoop, Wendy Williams?”

“I got it from this car I’m sitting in that you posted all over your Instagram, telling everyone you bought it for her with her standing beside it. You haven’t even bought me a car!”

“You can’t drive, Ella.”

“I know, and anyway, she lives in that neighborhood in that house and got a baby by Bugz. Now she’s with you. Two rich rappers? That’s got ‘gold digger’ written all over it. She’s gonna hurt you, Daddy.”

I sighed. “She was with Bugz before he got famous. She basically took care of him, helped him start his career.”

She looked over at me. “That’s what she told you?”

“It’s the truth, common knowledge if you look at when they got married.”

Shifting her eyes back to the street, she asked, “Why’d you get her this car?”

“Because I wanted to. Because she deserves it.”

“How? With sex?”

“Hold up now!”

“That must be it since you’re yelling at me now.”

I blew out a breath. “Look, I’m trying to talk to you, hear you out and find out why you felt the need to embarrass me tonight, but let’s not forget that I’m the adult here, Ella. I don’t answer to you, and you don’t get to just talk to me any kinda way.
