You're The One!

Chapter 44: Royalty

One Year Later...

Maya

It's Been A Year Since Chris And I Talked. I Told Him He Needed To Take Care Of His Business And Hell I'm Still Waiting. So I Took It Uopn Myself To Pay Him A Little Visit.

I Dang His Doorbell And Carol Answered It Smiling. "Hey Baby."

I Slightly Smiled. "Hey Carol. Is Chris Home?" I Asked.

"Yeah. Come On In, I'll Go Get Him For You."

I Stepped inside And Sat Down On The Couch. I Sat Looking Around There Were Pictures Of Him, Amara, And Cameron Everywhere. I Dodnt Think They Were Really Together At First But I Guess They Are.

I Looked Up And Seen Chris Walking Towards Me With An Annoyed Look On His Face. "Hello To You Too." I Said Lifting My Purse On My Shoulder.

He Nodded His Head At Me."Whassup."

I Sighed And Closed My Eyes. "Look I Know You Been Getting My Calls."

He Sat On The Island. "I Haven't. I changed My Number."

"Okay and Why The Hell Was That?"

"What You Want Maya?" He Asked.

I Sighed. "First Of All, You Don't Have To Be So Rude. Second, I Came Because Royalty Wanted To See Her Dad."

I Grabbed My Purse And Headed For The Door.

I Know I Shouldn't Have Just Left Her There But How Else Was I Suppose To Make Him Spend Time With Her? I Have Been Apart Of Royalty's Life For 5Years By Myself

I Pulled Up To The Building And Got Out Walking Inside.

"Hi, May I Help You?"

I Smiled. "Hi Is Matthew McCollum In Today?" I Asked.

She Nodded And Looked In Her Computer System. "You Must Be Maya Smith? You're Right On Time. He's Ready To See You."

I Smiled And Walked Away. I Might Be Independent But Some Things You Can't Do By Yourself And Raising A Child Is One.

Chris

I Just Stood There. Did She Say Dad? I Had A Child All This Time And Didn't Even Know It? How Could She Keep This From Me?
I'm so Confused Right Now I Don't Even Know What To Say Right Now. I just stood in one spot. I Can't Believe She Just Said That To Me.

I Sat There For About A Few Minutes Just Looking At A Sleeping Beauty She Was Gorgeous Too. She Had Nice Hair And She Looked Like Maya.

I Sat Down And Just Stared At Her. She Was Beautiful. I Couldn't Even Get Mad Anymore.

Later That Day....

I Finished Rocking Her To Sleep And Laid Her On The Couch.

"Baby I Got Us Some Pizza." Amars Said Walking In.

I Rushed To Her And Hushed Her Pointing To The Living Room.

She Looked Confused And Put The Pizza On The Counter.

"What's Wrong?" She Asked.

I Sighed Not Wanting To Tell Her.

I Been Working On Us And I Think She Starting To See That. I Just Want Her To See That I'm Working Extra Hard To Show That I Can Be A Damn Good Husband And Father. But That's Another Story (I'm No Story Teller.)

"Chris What The Hell Is Going On? Why You Got Me Whispering Like We In A Damn Movie Theater?" She Asked Turning A Light On.

I Shhed Her Again And She Looked On The Couch. She Looked At Me And Back At Royalty.
