Melissa POV:

"Malik sit down !" I yelled. Having a child is a blessing, but being a single mother is crazy ! I've been a mom for three years and I still haven't adapted. Good thing I had him after I graduated college. If he would've been born 3 months earlier I'd be the most stressed woman in the world !

My name is Melissa but everybody calls me 'Lissa'. I was born in Atlanta but I moved to Dallas, Texas when I was going off to college. I went to UNT and graduated with a bachelors degree in business.

My 2nd year at college I met the love of my life, currently just known as the father of my child. Obviously, things didn't go well and the last semester of my college years, I ended up pregnant and by myself. Don't get me wrong, Malik is the best thing that's happened to me, I just wish he didn't come from such a bitch ass man.

Anywho, I had just got done dressing little Malik and started getting myself dressed too. I had just moved into my new apartments and I had absolutely nothing in it so today I planned on shopping for the basics...furniture, household items etc.

I threw my hair in a messy bun on top of my head, put a plain white tee on and threw on some shorts and flip flops. Texas weather is no joke ! I walked into Malik's room to see him laying in his bed playing with some of his toys. "Come on 'lik, we gotta go." I said, calling Malik by the nickname I had given him. "Mommy can I bring the hulk ?" Malik asked holding up his doll. "No sweetie the hulk has to stay here with all the other toys" "But mommy, what if we need him to protect us ?" "We don't need him. I have you and you can save anyone my big strong baby!" I said picking him up and walking out the door. I put him in his car seat and buckled him in before I got in the front seat and started the car. "Off to Home Depot." I said out loud.

We made it to Home Depot and ended up buying a lot. By the time we left, Malik was asleep in my arms, drooling on my shirt. "What the hell do I feed you and why are you so heavy?" I sarcastically asked Malik as I carried him and pushed a buggy to the car at the same time. I unlocked the door, put Malik in the car and then unloaded my buggy into the trunk. After that I drove back home and got Malik in his bed. No fucks were given about the stuff in my trunk. That could be taken care of tomorrow.

I laid Malik in his bed, kissed him on the forehead and then I went in my own room and laid down. Right when I got really comfortable and turned the tv on I heard my doorbell. "What the fuck?" I said out loud. I got out of bed and walked up to the door. I looked through the peep hole and saw who it was. Jerrick ?
