Malaysia: I can see that. Surprise surprise, good to see you again Khalil.

Khalil: Do I know you?

Malaysia: Well that depends, you Hollywood now?

Khalil: Nahhh I'm just fucked up that's all

Malaysia: We dated in high school for a couple of months-

Khalil: OOOhhhh right before you broke up with my ass 😂

Malaysia: I guess you can say that

Khalil: Hell how else would you say it

Malaysia: Umm.. we gotta talk

Khalil: Ok talk

Malaysia: In private, please

Khalil: Man damn

Aaliyah: Boy get up. Hey Malaysia

- I stumbled up out of the booth seat

Malaysia: It'll only be a second guys I'll bring him right back

Aaliyah: Take yo time girl, he being loud as fuck anyways

Khalil: Shut up sis

- We walked to a corner to talk

Malaysia: Do you know the reason why we broke up?

Khalil: Hell nah all i remember is you saying you can't be with my ass anymore

Malaysia: Back in high school years I really had strict parents khalil. They didn't want me to have any boyfriends, no free time, none of that. They was heavily focused on my future, something about they didn't want me to have the same life as them. Long story short, I met you and you stole my heart and it made me hide alot of things from them. They didn't know I even had a boyfriend until they looked through my call logs on our bill and saw it. They made me end things with you and I'm sorry I let that happen. Shortly after that I found out... I was pregnant

Khalil: Damn forreal?

Malaysia: Yes.

Khalil: Congratulations that's great

Malaysia: Baby girl. She's almost two now

Khalil: That wassup forreal

Malaysia: I know she's going to be asking about her daddy soon

Khalil: Damn, he not in her life or sum shit?

Malaysia: Khalil... You are the father

Khalil: What da fuck?

Malaysia: I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, When I told my parents they kicked me out of their house. You're a daddy Khalil.

Khalil: Dawg i'm too fucked up for this shit

Malaysia: Here gimme your phone, I'll put my number in it so we can talk in the morning when you're sober.

Khalil: Wait a minute how you know it's mine?

Malaysia: I wasn't with nobody else during that time

Khalil: Mann FUCK

Malaysia: Lemme see your phone

- I took my phone out and gave it to her so she could put her number in it.

Malaysia: Give me a call tomorrow

Khalil: I gotchu

Malaysia: Enjoy your night

- Shocked, I just stood there wondering what just happened. I stumbled back to the booth distraught. What if this child is actually mine. How would that even be possible?
