Chapter 15

Jaylin

I spent the entire night at Scorpio’s place, hoping she would come to her senses, and come home. By Friday morning I was sick to my stomach. If she took Mackenzie from me again, I thought, I would kill her ass. Take the pussy, that’s replaceable, but a child I’ve grown to love is not.

Since I’d told Nokea I wanted to keep LJ for the weekend, I hurried home to see him, and tried to figure out what to do about Mackenzie. This time, I didn’t give a shit who got hurt. In my mind, I was willing to go to the extreme to get Mackenzie back.

I pulled in the driveway and saw Nokea’s car. We talked about LJ spending the night early on in the week, so I didn’t understand why she was there. I opened the door and that’s when she came rushing out like she was upset about something. I called her name several times, but she ignored me. Nanny B said that she had no idea what upset her, so I called Nokea’s cell phone to make sure everything went cool with her and Pat.

Since she wouldn’t answer her phone, I left her at peace and went upstairs to my room. I noticed the TV buzzing, so I turned it off. A tape ejected from the VCR. The tape Mr. McDaniels had left.

Nokea was angry because she saw the fucking tape. Why in the hell would she go through my things any damn way? I thought. I threw the tape on the floor and sat on my chaise.

“Jaylin,” Nanny B said, coming into my room. “What was that loud noise?”

“Nothing. I just dropped something.”

“Well, be careful. I was a little worried when you didn’t come home last night.”

“Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to worry you. I needed some time alone to clear my head.”

“I know how that is, and if you’re hungry, I cooked a pot roast for you.” She picked up LJ. “I’m going to lay him down for the night. He’s had a busy day.”

“Bring him here and let me hold him.” Nanny B put LJ down on the floor and he stepped his way over to me. I smiled and applauded how well he walked. I laid him against my chest and kissed his forehead. “Let him chill with me tonight. I’ll put him to bed a little later, okay?”

“That’s fine. He’s your son, you know? I know sometimes I get too attached, but I can’t help myself. I love him like my own.”

“I know you do. And trust me, I appreciate everything you do for us. Anyway, who can help themselves from getting so attached to him?”

She smiled, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a piece of paper. “Here. Scorpio’s sister, Leslie, called about an hour ago. I told her you would be here shortly, so call her when you get a chance. She sounded like it was important.”

“Has Scorpio called?”

“No, she hasn’t.”

Nanny B gave me the paper and left the room.
