Girl gone.

Aria woke up to Aura climbing into her bed.

"I'm excited, can we call daddy? He's still coming right?" Aura tilted her little face at Aria making her smile.

"He might be sleep. How about I text him to call as soon as he gets up?" She pulled aura close.

She nodded hopping up and grabbing her mother phone.

Aria shot Nawf a text.

She immediately heard a knock at her door.

She expected it to be Nawf as she climbed out her bed and headed for the door. She didn't bother looking as she opened the door.

He looked at her as fine as ever she thought averting her eyes.

He waited for her to move to the side as he looked her over. Being mad at her made him want to fuck her more. He looked at her nipples that were getting hard.

"Uh, she wanted to call you I didn't know if you were up." Aria said crossing her arms as Aura approached.

"You can call me anytime you want okay." He picked her up.

Aura nodded

"Good morning daddy." She kissed his cheek.

"Good morning beautiful." He walked in her house.

Aria just followed behind. She knew he didn't have much to say to her so she just headed to the kitchen and started on breakfast. She let out a deep breath and tried to relax.

She looked over to Aura and Antjuan as she pulled out her pots and pans.

Aria stood going through her phone looking for a new laptop. Since she just got paid she figured it would be the first thing to get out the way. As she flipped the bacon she scrolled through until she found the exact one she was looking for. After making her purchase she started on the eggs and pancakes. It didn't take long before she called Aura over to the kitchen.

"Aura go sit at the table and eat boo." She smiled at Aura whose face lit up.

"Here." She passed Nawf a plate as he shot her a glare.

"Dont be a dick." She said lowly.

He shot her a look as she rolled her eyes.

"She's like to eat breakfast with company. I figured I could get a reasonable shower in while you both eat and talk." Aria said.

She walked away as he watched her. He wanted her. Nawf shook his head as he picked up the plate and headed to sit with his daughter.

"Dad?" Aura said with a mouthful.

"Yes?" He looked at her.

"Why didn't you marry momma like my grand daddy did with my granny ma?" Aura looked at him.

"Well that's a complicated answer." He said.

"I like complicated." She smiled putting her chin in her hands.

He couldn't help but laugh. This girl was damn near his twin.

"So what you want to do today?" He asked her.

"Momma said Saturday was a rest day. That means she's going to nap and she's going to make me nap too." She pouted.

"You don't like to nap?" He laughed.

"Sometimes." She shrugged finishing her food.

"How about we go do something fun?" He smiled.

"I like fun." She rocked side to side eating.

----------------------------------------

Aria got out the shower nearly 30 minutes later.

It had been a while since she had a long shower. She headed straight for her closet. She opened her door but didn't hear Aura. She grabbed some jeans and a plain t shirt.

"Aura?" She said coming out her room hearing nothing.

"Antjuan?" She called.

She went to the kitchen and both plates were empty and left on the counter.

"Anjuan? Aura?" She said again with no response.

She started to panic rushing into Aura's rooms then the empty guest rooms.

She went outside and didn't see his truck.

Still no sign of her as she ran for her phone to call Nawf.

He didn't answer so she tried again and was forwarded to voicemail.

Aria immediately started to panic as she called him several times with no answer.

Not knowing what to do she called the only other person she could think of, Eryka.

After 10 minutes of non stop calling his phone Eryka arrived.

Aria explained how he found out and since has been looking like he wants to kill her. Eryka tried to console her friend but there wasn't much she could say to calm her down. Not with Aura gone.

"He is her dad. He wouldn't hurt her right?" Eryka asked her.

"E, I dont know." Aria started crying.

All she could do was think of the articles online involving him. Murder. Drug deals. Hood celebrity. She felt stupid leaving a stranger with her daughter father or not.

"Okay, relax." Eryka grabbed her phone.

She sent a message to Nawf.

Not even a minute later Aria's phone was going off.

She immediately answered.

"What tha fuck is wrong wit you?" He asked her calmly yet firm.

"Oh no." Eryka grabbed her phone.

"First off your not goin to talk to her like that. Chill. Second, you have her child. Matter of fact where the hell my God Daughter at?" She asked him.

"Man put Aria back on the phone." He sighed.

"Na, I'm the one who sent the message. So whatever the fuck you think you gotta say, dead that shit. Now where is Aura?" Eryka asked.

"TT?" Aura grabbed the phone.

"TT baby !! Are you okay?" Eryka said as Aria snatched the phone.

"Yes, daddy is taking me shoppin." She said happily.

"Hey beautiful. I'm glad to hear your voice. You know before you go anywhere you always have to tell momma bye remember." Aria told her.

"I'm sorry I forgot." She said.

"It's okay. Let me talk to Antjuan. I mean your dad." She said.

"The hell is wrong wit you?" He asked her.

"Nigga what is wrong wit you? Kidnappin my daughter." She said irritated.

"Our. Its not kidnappin if she mines." He told her matter of factly.

"You can't just take her and damn sure can't not say something." She rubbed her temples.

"Look dont text me or yo lil homegirl talkin bout callin the police on me for takin my daughter. Ill bring her back later." He told her.

"See, this is where you have me fucked up. You think you can walk in and dictate shit. It doesn't work like that." She told him stepping away from Eryka.

"Na you got me fucked up-" He started.

"You can be as mad as you fuckin want bout how you found out. I'm not finna play about my daughter. Send me your location I'm comin to get her." She told him.

"Ar-" He started.

"I dont give a fuck Antjuan. You really pushin me to my limits. Iono give a fuck you being her dad or not. She lives wit me, I take care of her. You tha new nigga dont forget that. You dont have any fuckin right to just take her!" Aria said yelling into the phone.

He didn't say anything.

"Send me the fuckin address." She said no longer yelling before she hung up.

"Hey, you okay?" Eryka asked.

"Yea. Thank you." Aria looked at her phone seeing him send an address.

"You want me to come?" She asked.

"Can you just wait here? I just am really tryin but he is literally already driving me crazy." Aria said.

"I can wait." Eryka nodded.

"Sorry. I just-" She started.

"Aye no need to explain to me. I was like what? Ghetto Aria back? I love it." Eryka laughed.

"No one is ghetto." Aria said fixing her pony tail.

"Whew that was 9th grade Aria before she moved to the burbs." Eryka laughed.

"I literally moved 10 minutes away." Aria laughed.

"To the burbs." Eryka reminded her.

Aria rolled her eyes.

When Aria's dad got a better job he moved his family out of the apartments they were use to and into a house. Her family wasn't the type to think they were to good but her father had all intention of not only giving his wife a house of her dreams but his daughter a chance at a brighter future.

Her father wanted her to transfer schools but she refused to leave her best friend or cousin behind. Instead Aria promised not only to excel in her classes but to get into a good school with her same friend in tow. After all her hard work she had accomplished it and in the process fell for Camren.

Looking back at things Aria could honestly say she paid her way to be where she was and refused to let anyone make her fell bad for all the work she put in. Let alone wanting her and her daughter to have a good life.

"Wish me luck. Ill be back. I'll call you if I need you." She said.

"Oooo the baby daddy drama just couldn't wait."Eryka joked.

"Too soon?" She looked at Aria who flicked her off walking out the door making her laugh.

-------------------------------------------------

Aria pulled up to the address and she was definitely familiar with the area.

It was a nicely remodeled house with a white fence around it.

Aria didn't see any vehicles in the driveway as she parked out front and called him.

Of course he didn't answer so she figured she would just head to the door.

Aria headed through the gate, up the stairs and knocked at the door.

After a few knocks and elderly black woman came to the door and smiled.

"Aria?" She smiled at her as she pulled her in for a hug.

"Yes." She said confused hugging the unknown woman back.

"I'm Antjuan's Grandmother Lila. He told me that you would be by to pick up Aura." She smiled.

"Aww okay. It's nice to meet you." She followed her into her house

"She is a gorgeous little girl. Really smart, must get it from you." She laugh as she told her and guided Aria who followed.

"Thank you." Aria said.

They made it to the dining room to see Aura coloring by herself. She wasn't wearing her pjs so she assumed he did take her shopping buying her a cute little outfit.

"Momma." She smiled.

"Hey baby. Are you having fun?"" Aria asked as Aura nodded.

"Antjuan is gone?" She asked looking around and not feeling his presence.

Aria was getting irritated with him already.

"Yes, he said he would be back. You are welcome to wait." She told her.

"Thank you but it is fine. I kinda didn't expect to end up here." Aria told her.

Aria sat next to Aura as she finished coloring.

"So are either of you goin to explain where she came from?" She looked at her.

Aria didn't want anyone in her business but she didn't want to be rude. She knew that these questions would come up she just hadn't figured out how to address them.

"I dont need details. I talk to my grandson every day. He mentioned a girl from his past recently but never mentioned a daughter until he showed up this morning." She looked at Aria.

"Long story short When I found out I was having her I had already moved away for school. Me and him were honestly not that close and not in contact so I had nothing on him information wise. We lost contact and we recently ran into each other." She explained.

"Life has a funny way of reuniting people." She smiled.

"Reuniting." She chuckled knowing that it was definitely not anything she expected.

Nawf hated her and outside of sex and Aura she couldn't think of anything they had in common.

"So what did you go to school for?" She asked her.

"Law. I graduated last year. I'm actually a lawyer. Sometimes its hard to believe but I just got hired at firm here called Knobbs so that's what brought us back. I like it so far. Aura loves being here." She told her.

The older woman smiled.

"Well congratulations" She smiled.

Aria could tell the older woman was kind and sweet.

"Thank you." She smiled at the older woman.

"Are you from here?" She asked her.

"Yea I was born at Lafayette and use to live on Mays and Kingman near Washington. We moved to Huntington when I started high school." She told her.

"You from round the way then?" She smiled.

"I guess so." She smiled back.

"Well welcome home too." She told her.

"Thank you." Aria told her.

"Look, I know Antjuan can be a lot to handle but He seems to like you." She smiled grabbing Aria's hand.

"I doubt it." Aria smiled.

"Girl what you mean?" She asked.

"He barely tolerates looking at me right now." She laughed knowing it to be truth.

"Don't be lyin to my granny." He said walking in and taking a seat across from Aria.

Aria shot him a glare.

"Don't be doin all that either." He turned from her as he looked to Aura.

"Did you make me somethin?" he asked her as she happily nodded passing him a picture.

"Its a picture of me and mommy." She smiled.

"Where's daddy at?" He asked her pouting.

Aria honestly couldn't help but smirk seeing him make the same face as their daughter.

"Fine dad. Ill draw you too." She took the paper back making him smile.

Aria sat in silence as she watched the two bond.

"Okay when your done. Were going to go home. TT has been waitin for us to get back." Aria told her.

"She can wait." Nawf said not looking at her.

"Antjuan, like please check yourself." She said noticing his grandmother look at them.

"You act like it is an issue wit me gettin my daughter." He looked at her.

"My problem is you taking her and not sayin shit to me. That's not okay." She looked at him.

"Momma said a bad word." Aura looked up.

"I'm sorry baby. Are you almost done?" Aria looked at her.

"Yup." Aura said putting down the updated picture.

"Okay give you dad some love so we can go." Aria told her as Nawf stared a hole into the side of her face.

"Dad, you still promise I will see you everyday?" Aura climbed down and walked over to her dad.

"Anytime just call me and Ill be there." He smiled caressing her cheek.

"Goody." She jumped into his arms.

"I love you so much and now we wont ever be apart." She kissed all on his face.

Aria laughed knowing she got that from her.

"I love you too." He kissed her forehead, Aria couldn't lie she loved seeing them together.

"Dont forget your great granny." Aria reminded her as Aura still held her dads face.

He stood up with her in his arms as he walked to his grandmother.

Aura leaned over giving her a hug and kiss.

"Ill see you soon." She pinched Aura's cheek.

"It was nice meet you." Aria waved.

Aria stuck her arms out for Aura.

"I got her." He said as she rolled her eyes.

They made their way to the front of the house and the down the porch to her car.

She watched him put Aura in the car.

After saying goodbye once more he closed the door turning to Aria.

Aria glared at him letting him know she was still mad as she pushed him out her way and walked to the driver side getting in her after flicking him off.
