Dallas TX, Friday 2:00 PM.

"What you wanna do today?" I asked Imara.

"See Gleesh." She said .

"We gone do that but what do you wanna do after that?"

"Hmm." She thought. "Go to the park and I get some ice cream and we play on the slide." She nodded.

"Okay." I laughed. "Get your shoes on, the drive is long and it start at 3:30 and we gotta go get T-y." I said like she could understand that .

I picked her up taking her outside putting her in her car seat .

I went to T-y school and he was already outside so I just beeped my horn and he looked up and saw us .

He ran to the car and got in before throwing his book bag on the floor.

"You ain't that ready to get outta school." I laughed backing out then pulling off.

"Yes huh, and I got these takis I been waiting to eat all day."

"Why you ain't eat them at lunch?" I asked.

"I got them after lunch." He opened the bag. "Hey Imara." He turned around waving at her.

"Hey." She waved.

"Here." He gave her two takis and she took them licking them.

"Mmm, thank you."

◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥

We waited in the lil lobby area after checking in , we was waiting for them to get Gleesh from his cell and bring him out.

They weren't doing the visits through the phone anymore so that was good cause I hated that.

He finally came out , he had cuffs on and the officer took them off but kept them on his feet, he walked towards us and Imara got up and ran to him.

"Gleesssshhh" She squealed and he picked her up.

"Hey girl." He said calmly. " How you been?"

"I been good." She nodded. "You been good?"

"Yea I been good." He reassured her and sat her down.

T-y got up and dapped him up then I stood up and gave him the biggest hug. "I missed you." I said as tears rolled down my face.

"I missed you too." He said squeezing me then he kissed my forehead.

We sat down and he grabbed a little game that they had sitting at the table next to us.

"T-y you still be being bad in school and shit?"

"Nope." He lied. "I been being good, I still don't like going though."

"He lying." I shook my head. "He got his days still, he not as bad but he can do better."

"You can't be being bad." Gleesh shook his head. "Gone end up right here and this shit ain't fun, you can't do nothing and you gotta take showers in front of other niggas." He looked at T-y.

"Hell nah." T-y made a face. "They be looking?"

"Hell yea some of them niggas gay, showers is they favorite time of the day."

"You don't be beating them up?"

"You can't beat everybody up if you wanna leave so, no but I make sure they know not to touch me."

"Can I get that?" Imara pointed to the vending machine , there was like 4 of them and some of them had food in them.

"Yea, y'all come on."

"I can't go over there." Gleesh said. "Cause it's by the back door, it's just they rules."

"Okay, T-y stay here , what y'all want outta there?"

"Chips and candy." T-y said , "More takis andddd a twix, oh and a gatorade."

"What you want?"

"Get me some Funyins and a drink , a sprite and them hot wings but only if they have ranch over there."

"Okay." I grabbed Imara hand and we went over to the area .

I got T-y stuff and let Imara hold it, then I got the hot wings after checking making sure they had ranch. I warmed them up and got the rest of our stuff.

I gave them their stuff then went back over to get Gleesh wings out the microwave, I grabbed a extra plate and put his ranch on it cause he didn't like his sauces touching his food for some reason.

I gave it to him and sat down. "Imara you finna make a mess." I shook my head looking at her with the ice cream sandwich.

"It's good." She nodded.

"Imara you been giving yo sister a hard time?"

"No, I just watch tv and go to sleep."

"That's it?"

"Oh and I go to Ms.Tee class." She said, referring to her daycare teacher.

"You be being good in Ms.Tee class?"

"Yea but I not like Juju him push me and make me cry."

"Who is Juju?" We both asked at the same time making the same face.

"The boy that make me cry, I push him back and he fell."

"Good, next time tell him, say 'Gleesh gone come up here and shoot you' say that" He whispered.

"Oh my god, no, don't say that Imara."

"Okay, ima tell him." Imara nodded taking another bite of her ice cream and I shook my head .

"If she get kicked outta daycare , you not gone be able to watch her."

"They not gone kick her out, she 2."

"Threatening that her sister boyfriend gone shoot another child, you already in jail, you gone shoot him and come right back."

"Shouldn't never pushed my baby." He shrugged.

"Ima shoot him too." T-y said after he came back from throwing away his chip bag. "Ima do it for you Gleesh."

"That's what i'm talking about." He dapped him up.

"No, no you not shooting anybody." I looked at T-y. "Gleesh not either, he just talking."

"You right, we can't just go shoot anybody, we can beat up his big brothers tho." He nodded.

"He got a big brother Imara?"

"I not know." She shrugged.

"We gone find out." Gleesh nodded.

"How you being a bad influence and you already in jail?"

"I'm not but if he push her again we gone have some issues."

"You guys have 10 more minutes."

"I forgot they do these short ass visits on Fridays, shit so dumb." He shook his head. "When y'all coming back?"

"Maybe next Tuesday since they closed on Sundays and they monday visits are just as short as these ones."

"Alright, y'all wanna play this game or no?"

"What's the game?" T-y asked.

"Jenga." He opened the box. "We only got a couple more minutes so we probably only gone be able to play once."

We set the pieces up and went around the table , starting with Imara , ending with me.

"Imara you can't take the piece off the top."

"Just let her." Gleesh tapped T-y. "She gone make them fall if she don't, gone head." He nodded and she took it off smiling.

T-y took his piece off then Gleesh and I took mine and it wiggled almost falling my eyes bulged.

"You finna lose already." Gleesh laughed.

"No i'm not, shut up." I laughed getting the  piece out.

We only got around the table one more time before it was time to leave.

"Gleesh you come with us?" Imara asked after he hugged her.

"No I gotta stay here." He said.

"Nooo." She whined.

He looked at me then back at her. "You can come back in a couple days okay, don't cry cause you gone make me cry." He hugged her again.

"Okay." She sniffed wiping her tears. She kisses his cheek. "I come back." her tears still rolling down her face.

"Okay." He said wiping her tears and one fell out his eye as well.

He stood up and dapped T-y up then hugged me. "I can't wait to leave, it ain't even supposed to be like this." He rocked back and forth as we hugged.

"I love you."

"I love you more, you got my letter yet?"

"Yea I sent it back, you should be getting it." I told him wiping my tear .

I did not wanna leave him already .

We said our last goodbyes and left going back to get our things that we couldn't bring in then we walked out to the car, getting in and driving off.
