“Yo, most of the peeps there were pretty lit the fuck up and didn’t even really know what was goin’ on.” He chuckles. “Yo, I’m just glad to know my fam ain’t the only ones all fucked up.” He tells me when he got back to the tent, my mother, along with my aunts Fanny and Lucky, cornered him and drilled him until my father came and pulled her away from him.
“Ohmygod,” I say, covering my face. “My mother and aunts are a mess.”
He laughs. “Yo, they came at me like they were ready to get it in. Ya pops, though, seems mad cool. He and I had a chance to talk in private.”
“What did y’all talk about?”
“You.”
“What about me?”
“I told him that I was really big on you and wanted to work things out, if we could.”
I can’t believe my ears. A part of me is relieved, and happy to know this. But, then there’s that other part of me who can’t get past the thought that he’s fucked Persia. “Even after all this mess with my sister?”
“Yeah. That shit still doesn’t change how I’ve felt ’bout you, yo. I couldn’t get you out my head.”
“But it wasn’t me.”
“Nah, yo, it was you way before your sister stepped in. Listen. What happened, happened. I can’t change that, and neither can you. But, we gotta deal wit’ what’s goin’ on right now. I can’t tell you what to do wit’ ya body, but I need to know what are we gonna do about my seed you carryin’?” I tell him I’m having it. He gets quiet.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m good.”
“Are you bothered by that?”
“Nah, I’m not. I’ve been wantin’ a baby for a minute; just didn’t connect wit’ anyone I wanted to have one wit’, until now. Yo, I wanna see you.”
I smile. “Tell me where, and I’m there.”
“My place.” He gives me the address. I tell him that I can be there in an hour or so; that I need to shower and get dressed. “Nah, that’s too long. I need to see you now. Throw on some clothes and just come through. You can shower here.”
I climb out of bed and go into my bathroom, then sit on the toilet. When I’m done, I flush, then wash my hands. I decide to take a quick sink-rinse. “I’ll be there in thirty minutes.”
“Cool.”
“I’ll text you when I’m leaving.”
“Nah, fuck that. I wanna hear ya voice. Call me so we can talk while you drivin’, aiight?”
I feel myself getting ready to cry. “I will.”
“Cool. Oh, one more thing.”
“What’s that?”
“Pack a bag ’cause I’m taking you back to Connec
ticut with me.”
“Connecticut? For what?”
“To meet my fam. But, first, I’m takin’ you by my parents’ spot. So my moms and pops can meet you.”
“Oh, God. I’m sure she’s going to have all kind of choice words to say about me.”
He laughs. “Yeah, she might. But, don’t sweat it. Her bark’s louder than her bite. Once she gets to know you, she’s gonna have mad love for ya. Trust me on this.”
