I Needed You

Chapter 7

Byron

I pulled up in front of Loshanae's crib and got out. I knocked on the door and teenage boy answered the door. He looked about two years younger than Maniyah.

He just frowned at me and I heard yelling in the house.

"Clay who is dat at the door!"

Then Loshanae came to the door and smiled.

"Oh, hey Byron,"she said letting me in,"Clayton, this is yo daddy, Byron this is Clayton."

She smiled as she introduced us and I swear it was like I was staring in the mirror. This lil nigga looked exactly how I did when I was a teenager.

"Nah, I aint got no daddy,"he said nastily and disappeared to the back of the house.

Loshanae sighed as she led the way to her living room.

"Why yo ass wait so late to tell me this shit?"I asked madly.

"Look, I didnt even know if I was gon keep him, and when I did figure out dat I wanted to keep him I left town and went to go stay wit my sister in Indianapolis. Plus I heard dat niggas had a hit out on you years back so there wasnt no need for me to stay."

I sighed,"Why the fuck he actin like dat? Its not like I knew I had another child. I hope yo ass aint make it seem like I aint want nothin to do wit him Loshanae."

Knowing her lying ass, she prolly told Clayton I didnt want nothing to do with him.

She stayed silent which gave me my answer.

"I should beat yo ass Shanae!"

I was mad as hell. I hate when mothafuckas try and make it seem like you in the wrong when you really not. That bitch in the wrong for not telling me about him, and he damn near about to be grown.

"Byron, I'm sorry. I didnt know what to do, I was young and dumb,"she said with a few tears,"All I want now is for you and him to gain a relationship wit each other. Ion want nothin else from you, jus for you to be there is all I'm askin."

I sighed,"Aight bring him up here."

She nodded and wiped her face then went to the back to go get Clayton.

They came back into the living room and he had his phone with him and he was texting away on it.

"Clayton, say hi to yo daddy,"Loshanae said.

He didnt say nothing, he just stayed glued to that phone. Yall boys worst than the girls sometimes, I thought to myself. He just like Marion when he was that age.

I snatched his phone from him and he frowned at me.

"Ion know who you think you is bruh, but you can gimme ma phone back,"he said seriously.

I chuckled.

"Clayton, you gon-"

I cut Loshanae off,"Look lil nigga, I know I havent been around for some years but I'm here now and dats all dat matters at this point and you will respect me."

"Yea aight, can I get ma phone back now?"

"Nah, you can get it when we go out to eat, dats if you want to or not cause I could keep the phone an sell it,"I say stuffing his phone in my pants pocket.

He smacked his lips,"Ma do I have to go?"

She shrugged,"If you want yo phone you will go, cause I'm not buyin another one."

He frowned,"Aight, but I wanna go to the mall too, and you payin."

I laughed,"Aight, c'mon then."
