Promise.

I'll Wait For You

Diggy

She took a sip of her drink and a bite of her food. I told her I'll take her anywhere so we went to this Arabian food joint.

The food was pretty good. Sariyah said she'll make me an Arabian dinner when I come back down to LA again.

"So your mom is Arabian, your dad is Nigerian and African American. Ron's parents are black and Mexican? So Joy is mixed with all those races. Wow"

"Yeah."

"What's it's like?"

"What?"

"Having a kid?"

"It's fun. Especially when there little. When they are a baby there are so many precious moments. It's a lot of responsibility and no matter how cute your child is sometimes you have to lay down the law"

I smirked. "I can't wait until I have one of my own"

"Ha... Oh you can wait"

We both laughed.

"So how did Joy come about? I mean if you don't mind me asking"

She smiled at me and twirled her straw in her drink.

"Well, Ron was a senior and I was a sophomore. We had been dating for a while and he was waiting for me to loose my virginity. So, it's the state champion basketball game and Ron's team wins and we celebrated with sex. Little did I know that his condom broke"

"Wow. How did you feel when you first found out if you were pregnant? I'm sorry I am asking so many questions"

"Oh no it's okay"

She rested her arms on the table and shifted to get comfortable.

"I was speechless. I didn't tell my parents for a month. I just remember being really scared"

I put my head down and thought of another question.

"How did Ron take it?"

She sighed again and looked at me.

"Not too well. He wasn't the best boyfriend ever. He um... He disappeared for a while and I found out he was cheating on me with his bestfriend's sister but I didn't hold it against him because I needed him to help me take care of the baby. .. He got into some trouble and he left the state but he finally came back and it's the same thing all over again..."

I grabbed her hands and kissed them both.

"Be with me"

"Excuse me?"

"Be with me Riy. I want to show you that not all guys are dogs"

"Diggy..."
I got up and sat next to Sariyah on the other booth. I kissed her jaw bone slightly and led up to her lips.

"I'm compelled to say yes"

"Compelled?"

"Diggy we live miles apart. I have a daughter and I don't want to put that on you... Plus I still gotta deal with Ron for Joy's sake"

"I'm fine with that"

She looked at me and sighed.

"You don't understand..."

"Well how about this... You just tell me when your ready"

I kissed her neck while having one arm around her shoulder.

Lord if only she knew that I loved her.

"Let's get out of here"
