“You need to eat something,” Lucky told me.
“Please don’t touch me. You can leave now. I don’t even know why you here.”
“Yeah, let me get the fuck on before shit get worse between us.”
“Yeah, do that.” I took my son from him.
Lucky pushed me back, “He is going with me. You not even eating ‘round this bitch so it’s best he goes with me. I was here trying to help you with him while you sort this shit out, but I need to be checking on my brother. He needs someone too.”
It was clear that shit between Lucky and I was sour, and it was getting worse the more days went by, and Merci was gone. I was supposed to start working this week but my focus was off so again, I had to cancel appointments again. My clientele was dropping, and my life was too. The only good thing going was my son and Capone at the moment. I went to grab my phone to text Capone. I needed someone to talk to and he was the only onethat would listen. My phone started ringing as soon as the text went through.
“Pack you and the baby a bag and come spend the night with me.”
“I don’t have the baby but I’ll come through for a little bit.”
“My daughter here but it’s plenty room here for you. I’ll see you in a bit.”
Capone daughter wasn’t the biggest fan of mine, but she was respectful. I almost changed my mind just so I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable around her but being in the house was driving me crazy. I packed a small bag, showered and headed to Capone’s house. His daughter answered the door and stared at me.
“Can I come in?” She stepped aside to let me in. I wasn’t stranger to Capone’s house since we started talking.
“He in the kitchen,” she said with an attitude.
I walked to the kitchen to see him with an apron on. Now this was sexy. He was cooking and from the looks of it, it looked like he knew what he was doing.
“I knew you hadn’t eaten so I thought I would invite you over for dinner. We not on the level where I can come to your spot. That’s why I’m glad you texted me.”
“I don’t have an appetite.”
“You gotta eat something. I’m not taking no for an answer. I don’t care if it’s only one spoon.”
“I’m so worried. My business is failing for the first time in years, my personal life is a damn mess, and I feel like I’m barely making it.”
“Your business ain’t failing. Them niggas gon’ run back as soon as you open up shop. They mad right now but fuck them, take care of your family. What do you need me to do?”
“You’re doing enough.”
We ate and cuddled up in his bed to watch a movie. My phone went off a few times, but it was notifications that I ignored. Then his daughter started knocking on his door before she walked in.
“It’s some dude at the door that said he need to speak with his baby mama.”
“If that’s your nigga at my door where my daughter lays her head, it’s going to be a problem, and you can call this shit quits before it even gets started. You better hope not.”
I rolled my eyes as we both got out of the bed. Lucky was crazy but not this goddamn crazy to show up to this man house. As we headed to the living room, I prayed with each step I took that it wasn’t Lucky. I smelled him before I made it to him. I was expecting to see my son with him, but he was alone which mad me a little scared. He stood there rubbing his beard as he watched us approach.
“You real comfortable huh? No shoes on and shit. Nigga really got you feeling yourself,” Lucky looked me up and down.
“What do you want? How do you even know where the fuck I am?”
“I have my ways. The reason I came over here is to see how fuckin’ honest you are. You’ve been lying a lot lately and I wanted to get you and your man friend here together to see if you ready to be honest.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?” I asked confused.
“Y’all can do this shit without me. I don’t do baby mama and baby daddy drama.”
“Nah, I think you wanna know this since you fuckin’ with her.”
Lucky pulled my pregnancy test out of his pocket and threw it towards my feet. I had it hid so well and there was no way he could find it unless his ass was digging for something. My son was only a few months old, and I was pregnant again. Since Ihad my son, I slept with Lucky twice. My appointment at the abortion clinic was already set up but this was about to put a halt to my plans.
