ᴀᴜʙʀᴇʏ 'ᴅʀᴀᴋᴇ' ɢʀᴀʜᴀᴍ

I was at my gym that I owned with my crew and there kids. I decided to let everyone bring their child to work day for fun.

The kids were either in the ring learning boxing skills or running around the gym.

Ava was playing with my brother Kash and Chubbs son JJ.

I was finishing doing my workout until I heard Kevin voice yelling making me turn around from the equipment stopping my weight lifting.

"Omari man! What did I tell you before we got in here?"

Kevin quickly grabs his son.

I grabbed the towel that was laying next to me wiping my face. Seeing the little boy run to me.

"Aye he's good Kev, wassup little man?" I had my fist up to his height for a fist bump and he gladly accepted.

"It's really you!" He questioned in excitement causing his eyes to grow wide.

"Yeah it's me!" I laughed watching Kevin walk up with a book bag on his back. "What's your name?"

"Omari! But you can call me O or Mari! My mommy calls me Mari!"

"Okay. I'm gonna call you O since your mom dukes got you with Mari."

"Can I play with them?" He asked me pointing over towards Ava and JJ.

I was actually surprised he asked me before he asked his dad.

"You gotta ask your dad first O,"

O turns his head to his father asking if he could play with the other kids and he said yes.

"You see that girl with the light blue on?" I pointed at Ava talking to O. "That's my daughter, she's really nice. You can play with her and my nephew that's right by her."

"Okay!" He ran off into the fun with the other kids.

"Man," Kev blows out a deep breath. "Sorry about him. He could be a lot."

"Nah he was just being a kid. I don't mind." I got up wiping off the equipment with a defective wipe. "But he don't look shit like you..," I said earning a laugh out of him.

"Everyone says that shit. He mostly looks like his mom." He pulls out his phone trying to find a picture of his wife. I directed him into the office since he still had shit to give me.

He finally shows me a picture of his wife and damn, the world is a fucking small place.

My wonders are how the fuck did he pull her?

"Oh so that's you?" I sat down on rolling chair. I was starting to get jealous just because he had her.

I could just tell that he wasn't treating her right. I mean the days that I seen her in person it seemed like every moment she had some thoughts on her mind.

"Shit is complicated right now. I'm trying to do right by her I admit I fucked up the last couple of weeks."

I take back all the slick shit I was saying about his wife. If I would've known it was her, I wouldn't have said shit and would've been on her side the whole time. Fuck that nigga!

"Type shit," I nodded in agreement. "You should let her come through to Ava's birthday party. Everyone is invited, and shit maybe I can meet wifey," I smirked at my slickness. "And tell her to forgive you and shit."

"Man I'll see. She usually doesn't like coming to outings."

"Yeah, yeah. So that's all the paper work in that bag?"
