“Raya wantin’ her funds released and we need visitation.”
“Y’all could’ve done that shit without me. You know how that girl mouth gets, and I don’t know how long y’all want me to stay ladylike when it comes to her. I actually been owed her one.”
I laughed. “That’s the reason I’m there. I’m fightin’ for this shit for all of us.”
“I appreciate it, Shameek, but if she doesn’t want me to see Ryleigh, I have to respect it.”
“I’ll see you at four, Kyenna.”
At four, I was waiting outside of Lloyd’s office for Kyenna to pull up. I was surprised to see she wasn’t driving today and pulled up in a black truck with Grif’s right-hand man driving. I stepped down to open the door for her and help her out.
“You’re not drivin’ today?”
“I wasn’t feeling well today and decided to let someone else drive me.”
“Did I not ask you a few hours ago how you were feelin’?”
“Shameek, I’m fine. That was when I woke up this morning.”
Our conversation was cut short when Raya pulled up. Her attitude was obvious when she mugged me and Kyenna before walking in the office.
“I don’t have time for this shit,” Kyenna said as we headed inside.
“Shit, me either, but it’s the only way I’m going to see my niece.”
Lloyd wasn’t even able to close his door before Raya went off.
“Where the fuck is my money? I did what y’all wanted me to do, and now y’all are still holding my shit. Why the fuck are we here and why is she here?” She looked over at Kyenna.
“My presence really fucks with you, don’t it?” Kyenna said, crossing her legs.
I reached over and touched Kyenna’s arm. I did it for two reasons. My eyes went straight to Lloyd, who looked a little uncomfortable, and then to Raya, who was pissed.
“I called the meetin’,” I told her. “The money is yours, but I need you to understand the visitation rights my family will have in the process.”
“You doing this for her?” Raya pointed at Kyenna.
“Raya, we both kno’ yo’ daughter loves Kyenna. What’s the point of keepin’ her away?”
“Because I don’t want my daughter around her. Have you ever heard the saying ‘not to let your children around a bitch that doesn’t like you?’”
“Watch your words,” Kyenna warned.
“Or what?”
Kyenna sat her purse down and uncrossed her legs.
“Okay…Okay,” Lloyd said. “Raya, the visitation is simple. Kyenna gets one weekend a month with Ryleigh. The Kings get one weekend a month as well.”
“We both kno’ you’ll take two free weekends a month,” I told her.
“I’ve drawn up the agreement. Kyenna will get the last weekend of every month, and the King’s will get the middle of the month.”
Raya picked the paper up and read over it.
“If I agree, when do I get my money?”
“I will deposit it as soon as you sign your name, and it will start being deposited monthly.”
