Andrea 's POV //



I put Wayne in the bed, putting pillows around him so he didn't fall. He was exactly and finally one on this sunny Saturday. I answered the phone as it rang.

"Hello?"

"Damn, baby. You changed so much," I didn't recognize the voice at all, "I can't wait till I get my hands on you."

"The fuck. Who is this?"

"You'll know soon." The male voice said before the line went dead.

I sighed before the phone rung again.

"Who the hell is this?" I asked as I sat down on the bed.

"Damn, Mamas. You Aight?" Jaylen said.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, I just was frustrated. What you doin?" I asked.

"On the way home. What bout you, baby?"

"About to go to the shop when you get here."

"Mm, What Wayne doing?"

"Birthday boys sleep. As usual."

"Aight, Ma. I'll talk to you later."

I stretched as I finished the last bit of my clients tattoo. It took 4 hours just to finish the last piece and to color it.

I cleaned my station as a dark skin, black hair and petite framed female came in the door.

She was pretty but she was ghetto. Her hair was in a messy bun while it looked like she didn't even look at what she dressed in. The girl behind her was beautiful, reminding her of 'Nu Nu' from ATL. She had a lollipop in her mouth with some booty shorts and a crop top.

She looked about 26. To old for what she was wearing though it fit her body perfectly.

The gold chain around her neck read 'Keshia'. Her hair was in a bushy bun. She smiled before she looked over till her eyes landed on Andrea. Her flip flops clicked as she walked over to Andrea.

"How may I help you?" Andrea asked as she threw the paper towel she was cleaning the chair off with in the trash. She knew Keshia was here to start trouble, something she didn't want nor need in her business place.

"I'm looking for Andrea." She said, "I wanna talk to her privately." She said looking around, staring at the people watching.

"About?" Andrea said as she sat back in her chair.

"Thing that need to be discussed in private." Keshia said before she turned around again, "Damn, the fuck y'all looking at?"

"Oooh, girl. Watch ya self. Might catch a case fucking with me." Candie said before she continued with her client.

Keshia rolled her eyes before she turned back to Andrea.

"Alright. C'mon." Andrea said as she walked back to her office. Keshia looked Andrea up and down as she watched. She wondered what Jaylen liked so much about her.

Was it her tattoos. Keshia could go get tatted any day. Was it her long, wavy hair. She could put in some tracks to make her hair much longer, just like Andreas except it wouldn't be natural.

Was it her jewelry. Keshia could go buy some jewelry as soon as she got the money. Was it because she was natural. Keshia needed make up or she would look like another plain Jane, no brother would notice her. Or was it her thickness. She could gain a couple more pounds.

She didn't know but whatever she didn't have, Andrea had it and Jaylen liked it, very much. Though Jaylen was 1 year younger then her, he was so much mature. The confidence he had in his walk, the way he walked into a place like he owned it. She loved that and it made her fall inlove with him.

Jaylen always told her they were a mistake, and even though he wished he used a condom he didn't regret Wayne. Keshia honestly missed her little boy but not as much as she missed Jaylen. When they were together and not arguing they were like bestfriends but that was all before Wayne came. Wayne woke Jaylen up to notice the true bitch Keshia was.

He never loved her but she held a special place in his heart before she showed her true colors.

Keshia knew she was pretty, shit she was perfect to herself but when she saw Andrea, she second guessed herself. Even a female, straight as a pole, would go lesbian for her.

Keshia was grimmy. She knew she could be at times but she hated when people in the streets talked about her son, Jaylen and that bitch Andrea. She was supposed to be Jaylen's girl! She knew she fucked up. When her and Jaylen 'were together' she would go over men after men house.

She couldn't stop it. She was nasty, truly. But she looked over her flaws. She had gotten pregnant 2 times in the years and she aborted both. Not telling a soul.

She was tired of being alone, though she had a new body in bed with her every night. She wanted Jaylen and she was gonna get him. But she needed to make sure Andrea stayed out the way.

"You can sit down right there." Andrea said as she sat down on her couch and pointed to a seat next I her desk. Keshia took the seat, "So what is it. Didn't I tell you stay away."

"Let me set something straight. I'm Keshia! Motherfucking Keshia! No bitch can take my place. I don't care how much you think Jaylen loves you. He doesn't! He's mine." Keshia said a she sat back.

Andrea chuckled, "Look here, I don't play with grown ass woman that dress like fucking teenagers. Don't come in to MY shop and disrespect me. I'm 24 not 2. I don't play games no more."

"Look, I just want my son and man back and if you ain't gone give it to me ima take it. And put you in the ground while doing it."

"Don't you think if Jaylen actually wanted you he would of went to you the night you was calling his phone, desperate for him instead of laying under me. And if you wanted your son you would of remembered that he turned 1 today."

Keshia cursed under her breath. She couldn't believe she forgot about his birthday. But she wasn't gonna let it get to her.

"I got places to be but remember let it go or get it taken." She said before she walked out leaving a smiling Andrea behind.

Andrea knew that Keshia was weak. She was crazy. But if Keshia followed through with her threat she would be prepared, she always was.

Andrea bit her lip, she felt like someone was watching her the whole day. It was 6 PM and she was getting stuff for Wayne's party tomorrow.

He was so grown now. He was adorable. He always knew how to brighten her mood, make her feel special. He was gonna break so many hearts when he grew up an he was learning how to speak bigger words already.

She couldn't wait till her learned how to speak more so she could teach him how to speak Spanish.

She cursed when she knocked her basket into somebody else's. it was Cane. She sent him a small smile before she kept walking. He made her feel disgusting and she didn't know why but she didn't sweat it.

"Jaylen! What are you doing?" Andrea asked as Jaylen smoked with Wayne in the next room.

Jaylen had been so stressed these couple of days especially with Len. He didn't know what to do about the situation.

He growled as Andrea snatched the cigar out his hand and put it out. She couldn't believe he actually smoked with Wayne in the house.

She rolled her eyes before she walked in the room with Wayne to make sure he wasn't coughing his longs out.

"Ima be out with Damon!" Jaylen yelled as he picked up his keys and drove to Damon's house. He was ready to see some strippers bouncing their ass while he threw ones and smoked freely.
