Sometimes, you love someone so much

that not even the truth can change your mind.

My baby girl has been home for a little over a week now and things have been real good. The only thing I’m not feeling are those Freddy Krueger dreams she’s been having. Three nights in a row, she woke up sweating bullets, crying and fighting. Shorty scared me half to death when she woke up swinging, catching me in the jaw. I didn’t know what the hell had happened. When she comes to bed, we have to talk. I’m not getting any sleep with Floyd Mayweather on the other side of the bed, trying to remain the champ.

“How was your bath, baby girl?” I ask.

“It was good, baby; it would have been better if you had joined me,” she replies seductively.

‘I know what you want, little momma, but we need to chop it up first, if that’s okay with you.”

“Sure thing; what’s wrong?” she asks.

“That’s what I need you to tell me, Tavia. You’ve been bugging out in your sleep, and that shit has me a little worried about you.

Tears start pouring out of her eyes, ripping my heart out of my chest. She’s all choked up and can’t get her words out. I don’t know what she’s about to say to me, but I do know there’s no chance in hell she’s going back to that punk. I feel bad; he’s in a fucked-up position, laid up in the hospital . . . Let me stop frontin’; no, I don’t! Who am I kidding? He had to get out the way eventually. So it is what it is. Bottom line, Tavia is mine, point blank—always has and always will be. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

“BK, baby, there’s a lot you don’t know about me, and I don’t want any more secrets between us. I’m tired of lies and secrets. So I am going to be open and honest with you in hopes it won’t change things between us or how you feel about me.”

“What? Don’t tell me you were born a man?” I joke.

“No, crazy,” she says.

After Tae pours her heart and soul out, trying to fill me in on what her bitch-ass pops did to her, I want to grab my Desert Eagle and fuck something up. Who-the-fuck does shit like that to their own blood? I have to cut her off and try to change the subject. I can’t take listening to anymore of this shit. She’s a soldier in my eyes. Any other bitch would be all kinds of fucked-up in the head, or would have jumped out a window by now. Real talk, that ain’t no light shit to be dealing with. I have the utmost respect for her.

“Come closer to me, little momma, and let big daddy take some of that pain away,” I instruct. I just stand over her for a few moments, staring at her, taking in all of the fine chocolate fudge in front of me.
