Chapter Twenty

Now that Neecy had the phone turned off, most of Dré’s conversations with her took place in front of me, and she couldn’t stand it. Neecy still called almost every night, and every once in awhile Dré was allowed to speak to his kids, but he stayed true to his word, and refused to see his kids until Neecy allowed them to come to my house. We slowly settled into our routine, as a family again, Dré was good with my children, they loved him, but sometimes I wondered if being with my children, made Dré miss his, even more.

My phone rang at seven o’clock on a Saturday morning, and I knew it was Neecy before I even looked at the name flashing across the caller ID screen. Every time it seemed as if she had calmed down and might actually leave us alone, she would do something crazy.

“Hello,” I said.

“Can I speak to my husband?” Neecy said. “Hold on Neecy,” I whispered.

I kissed Dré, and tried to hand him the telephone, but he rolled over, and turned his back to me. “It’s Neecy again.”

Dré took the phone and looked at me like it was my fault she was calling so early.

“Hello…why didn’t you say something about this earlier?” Dré turned to his back and stared at the ceiling. “I’ll be there, I have to get myself together,” he said.

He handed me the telephone, and opened his arms to invite me back to my spot.

“What now baby?” I asked.

“She’s moving into her new apartment today and she needs some help.”

“What? I thought that is what her family was here for,” I said. “She needs somebody to drive the truck and put up the beds,

and whatever else needs to be put together.”

“There is no one else that can help her?” I asked.

“Come on Bree, what would that look like? This is the least that I can do for them.”

“So, I take it this is going to be an all day thing?” I asked. “I don’t know how long it is going to take Bree.”

“It’s going to take all day like I said.” “Maybe, maybe not.”

“I am so sick of this Dré. We get a few good days in, and then she’s right back to this type of shit. Why did she wait until the last minute to tell you?”

“She said that some guy from her job was supposed to help her, but he can’t do it now.”

“How convenient,” I snapped. I kicked the covers off and sat up.

“Don’t trip Bree.”

“I’m not, I guess that I just need to get used to you jumping

when Neecy says jump, that’s all,” I said.

“Bree, listen to yourself. What is that going to look like? Those are my kids, and I can’t go and make sure that their beds get put up? I am still a father I have to make sure my kids are taken care of.”

“You don’t think I know that Dré?”

“You don’t act like it sometimes,” he said.

“Whatever. I’m just sick of Neecy playing all of these games.
