His Desire

The Call

For the past two years now, me and Spade had been texting, calling each other, and going out on dates. A few times we done things with Samajae as a family.Yes we are a couple. Spade been asking to meet my mother and grandmother for a while but I just haven't been ready yet. Since I was running around all day, I decided to call my mother and go over to see her.

"How's everything with Samajae?" Shelia, my mother, asked.

"He's fine. He's doing good in day care." I took a deep breath in and exhaled out hard.

"What's wrong? You look like your stressed out. Is it the shop?" Momma handed me a cup of coffee.

"No... No everything's fine there. It's... Its nothing." I put my head down.

"Sweetheart tell me. If I don't know I can't help you." I didn't know how Shelia would act if I told her I'm dating again. She would be upset like she was when we found out I was pregnant.

"It's this guy." I gave in and spilled it out.

"Simone... What's his name." She sat back in her seat disappointed.

"Spade... Well that's what he goes by. Antonio... is his real... name." She got up out her chair and walked over to the sink.

"Don't you think it's to early for you to be dating?" I shook my head at her ridiculous question.

"To early? Mom I'm 22 years old and Samajae will be 5 in 9 months. So no I don't think it's to early. If you have nothing nice to say about my choice then I will have no problem then leaving." I grabbed my purse off the table and stormed out the front door. I called Spade 2 times, but he wouldn't pick up so I left a voicemail. I drove over Taylor to have girl talk.

" Hi." Taylor said.

"Hey T... Can we talk?" I gave her the sad puppy look.

"Of course, come inside." I walked inside and rushed over to the refrigerator looking for anything that looked good to eat.

"Simone put the food down so we can talk." Taylor stood behind me with one hand on her hip.

"T... I don't what is my momma problem but she always got some shit to say bout love life." I rolled my eyes at the food sitting in front of me.

"She yo momma she suppose to say something bout it."

"Naw T, I mean she get all mad even if I start talking to someone for 1 week." I gave Taylor a stale face look.

"Maybe y'all should have a talk or something. Matter fact go to a therapist. It worked for my family." Her left eye brow rose up.

"I don't know T... I just don't know." I left her house even more sad. Maybe she was right, maybe we do need to go to a therapist and settle our problems with each other.

I walked into Samajae room and kissed him on the forehead after I stood there and watched him sleep for a few minutes. Did I really need a man my our life? I've been providing for us great since he was born and didn't need any help at all. Tomorrow Spade wanted to take me and Samajae out to movie and dinner.

Next Day.

In the morning, Spade came over and ate breakfast with us as a family again. It made me reconsider him actually being apart in our life.

Spade POV

I had a great idea that I would take Simone and Samajae to the movies and then out to dinner as a family. Even though Samajae isn't my son it still felt like he was biological son. I treated him like he was my son. Simone made some great breakfast for us this morning, and then we all rested in the living room watching Cloudy with the chance of meatballs, since Samajae couldn't watch the reality t.v. shows.

Simone POV

As we were enjoying watching the cartoon movie my phone began to rang. I looked at the screen and it was a number I never seen before, so I answered anyway.

"Hello?"

"Do you except the charges from Ricardo Garcia?"

"Yes." What was I doing? Why did I say yes.

"So you answer huh?" His voice was still raspy but it sounded different from the last time I talked to him 3 days after my baby shower. Rico, my baby daddy, couldn't keep in contact with me because I changed my number a week later after I visited him in jail. I let him know he couldn't be in his son life while he was in jail and after he get out of jail. But Rico was a man who didn't take no from anybody. It was his way or no way.

"How the hell you get my number?" I forcefully asked him.

"What's wrong baby?" Spade asked me with his face all scrunched up.

"Who is that in the back ground? You got another nigga around you?" Rico asked like he was my boyfriend still.

"What don't you get? I told you I don't want you in our lives!  Once you left again that was it. So don't call me and don't have yo momma call me either!" I hung up the phone quickly before Rico could say anything else.

"Is everything okay?" I turned my head to see Spade greenish- hazel eyes starring at me.

"Everything is fine now. He won't call again." I kissed Spade on the lips twice softly then we started making out until Samajae jumped on us to make us stop.

A few days later A'Shawnti was throwing a princess birthday party for her daughter Leila, who was turning 5. I invited Spade because I didn't want to be lonely there at the party. He agreed to come of course but under one condition, that I go on this special date with him tomorrow night. I know we only been dating a year but it felt like we've been together since high school. When he's out working I try to not bother him but it's hard for him to not bother me at work. Sometimes I miss about 4 days out of the week at work. A'Shawnti was okay with it but now she been really on my ass about it, so I'm trying to come to work everyday for now on.

Last night Spade came over and spent the night over. I left him and Samajae at home together while I go to work today. Spade said he didn't mind watching Samajae, at all ever. When I walked inside my shop everybody greeted me with so much love, even A'Shawnti; who was upset at me for skipping work.

"Hey Shawnti." She gave me a look while flat ironing a client hair.

"Mhm." All she said turning her back towards me. " I see he got you sprung over there."

"It's not being sprung. It's called being in-love." Everyone started laughing with me.

All day I thought about Spade and his romantic self. I called him on my lunch break, and we talked the whole time. When I got home Samajae greeted me with one of his famous hugs and special kisses.

"Mommy missed you big boy." I kept kissing Samajae playfully. Spade walked up slowly smiling hard.

"Did you miss this big boy?" He gave me a smirk knowing I didn't like when he said sexual things around Samajae.

The night ended peacefully for me and it's been a while since that happens. Every since Spade been in my life good things happen more for me. I was finally getting what I've been praying for and I didn't want it to be taken away from me any time soon.
