I held Jayden's car seat in my hand as I rode the elevator upstairs to the loft. As the doors opened I could hear Jalen's voice.
"Nigga stop coming in my shit when I'm not here" I said as I stepped off the elevator "Imma change the code on yo ass"
"I told you I was coming up, you should've texted back" He replied with his eyes glued on the game of 2K he was playing.
The car ride had put Jayden to sleep so I didn't even want to take him out of his car seat. I just left him alone and sat the car seat on the floor near the couch.
"You got lil man for the week?"
"Yeah" I replied walking over to the fridge for a bottle of water.
"Aye bro I gotta talk to you about something" I said plopping down on the couch.
"Wassup"
"You think he mine?" I questioned.
"What?" He asked with a laugh glancing over at me for a split second. "Awe damn you serious" He said paused the game. "We on some real shit right now?"
I nodded my head yes. We've had this conversation months ago when I told him that she was pregnant but we never revisited the discussion since.
"Yeah man. Whatchu think?"
"Imma keep it a hunnid, he look just like Syd it's hard to even tell for real. Like he don't look like you but he don't don't look like you at the same time"
I nod my head in agreeance with him. "I just did a paternity test"
"About time." He scoffed "You should've did that shit as soon as she pushed his ass out."
"I know ion even know why I put it off for so long. I was just trying to convince myself that he's mine but then Sydney got to talking about how I should be there for her and shit. It got me thinking like she tryna use this baby to get back with me."
"Duh nigga we've been telling you this shit for months now" Jalen laughed, "She know you did the test?"
"Nah" I shook my head "If the results come back and he's mine ion want her to think I was just tryna find a way out and keep him from me"
"How long the results gon take?"
"They said I can pick up the results in a few days"
"So if he ain't yours whatchu gon do? You gon get back with P or you done with that?" Jalen questioned pressing play on the game.
"It ain't up to me" I shrugged my shoulders "I couldn't even reach out if I wanted to. She blocked me on everything and changed her number" I laughed shaking my head.
Jayden was starting to wake up from his nap so I went to grab a bottle out the fridge.
"Better apply some pressure. Call her momma, text her daddy." Jalen joked "You want her number? I still be talking to Michelle every now and then I can get it for you"
"Nah I'm straight" I said sitting back down on the couch before taking Jayden out of his car seat.
"You sure? She been looking fine as hell lately on the gram. She got that grown woman look to her now"
