She Saved Him

I Paced Back And Forth Outside Of The Bathroom Door With One Crutch Under My Armpit Holding Me Up. Asia Was Finally Taking A Pregnancy Test And The Suspense Was Killing Me! I Wanted To Know If She Was Pregnant With My Kid, But In All Honesty...I Think She Was. She Had Been Sleeping More Lately, Plus Her Nose Was Spreading. I Googled That Shit And Those Are Signs Of Pregnancy.

I Impatiently Knocked On The Door And Told Her To Bring Her Ass Out Of The Bathroom, But She Ignored Me. I Heard Her In There Humming And Singing Quietly To Herself.

"Asia! Come On Now!" I Snapped.

"Dex Get Your Ass Away From The Damn Door And Leave Me Alone!" She Snapped Back.

"That Ain't Gon Happen!" I Said.

"So I Can't Poop In Peace?" She Questioned.

"Aw Hell Naw!" I Said, Walking Away From The Door. I Could Hear Her Laughing As I Sat On The Bed And Turned On The TV. I Guess I'll Bypass The Time By Watching Some TV. A Few Minutes Later, Asia Walked Out Of The Bathroom And Closed The Door Behind Her.

"Aye Did You Spray In There?" I Asked. She Mugged Me And Rolled Her Eyes.

"Duh!" She Said.

"Mhm...What Did The Test Say?" I Asked.

"Damn It! I Knew I Forgot Something." She Said, Snapping Her Fingers. I Sucked In My Teeth And Huffed.

"It's In The Bathroom. Can You Go Get It?" She Asked.

"Hell Naw! Your Funky Ass Tryna Kill Me?" I Said. She Busted Out Laughed As She Covered Her Mouth.

"It Doesn't Smell Bad." She Said, Still Laughing.

"Stop Playing With Me Man!" I Snapped. She Was Still Laughing As She Walked Back Into The Bathroom.

"Okay I Lied...It Does Smell Bad." She Said, Coming Back Into The Room Holding Her Nose.

"Yeah Something Probably Died In Ya Ass And You Had The Nerve To Ask Me To Go Into The Deathly Quarantine." I Said. She Laughed Even Harder As She Grabbed Her Stomach.

"Oh My God! Stop!" She Said. I Chuckled As She Wiped The Tears That Had Escaped Her Eyes From Laughing So Hard.

"So What Does The Damn Test Say?" I Asked, For What Seemed Like The Hundredth Time.

"It's Positive." She Said, Tossing It My Way. I Hopped Up So Damn Quick That I Could've Broken My Fucking Leg.

"Aye Don't Be Throwing That Shit At Me! Got Yo Piss Particles And Shit All On It!" I Said.

"Oh Relax With Your Old Dramatic Ass!" She Said, Laughing. I Really Don't See What The Hell Is Funny And Why The Fuck She Keep Laughing At Everything. I Ain't Complaining Though Because I Love Her Smile.

"Come Here." I Said, Curling Up My Index Finger. She Walked Up To Me And I Picked Her Up. She Wrapped Her Arms Around My Neck And Kissed Me.

"You Seriously Having My Baby Man." I Said, Shockingly. This Shit Was Unreal And I Still Can't Believe It.

"Yep. I'm Seriously Having Dexton Jr. Because I'm Sure It's A Boy." She Said. I Chuckled.

"I'm Sure Too, But We Ain't Naming Him After Me. I Want Him To Have His Own Name." I Said.

"Okay That's Fine, But He Will Have Your Middle Name." She Said.

"Aight That's Cool." I Said.

Later On That Night, Asia And SaMiyah Were Fast Asleep In The Bedroom, While I Was Sitting Downstairs Staring At Asia's Positive Pregnancy Test. I Can't Believe I'm About To Be A Dad. Me? Dex Porter...Got A Seed On The Way, By My Ex Best Friend's Baby Mama. Damn...That Sounds Fucked Up, But Oh Well. It Is What It Is, And It Was Bound To Happen Sooner Or Later. Thank God It Happened Sooner Though. My Thoughts Were Interrupted When I Felt My Cell Phone Vibrating In My Pocket. Who The Fuck Was Calling Me So Late? I Checked The Caller ID And Noticed It Was An Unknown Called.

"Who Dis?" I Answered.

"You Done Fucked Up Now Nigga!" I Heard Semaj Say.

"Aw What's Up Maj?" I Said, Calmly. This Nigga Still Doesn't Put Any Fear In My Heart.

"Don't What's Up Me Nigga! I Heard You And MY Bitch Got Engaged, But Guess What? Neither One Of You Gon Make It Down The Aisle! Believe That!" He Hissed. How The Hell Did He Know That? This Nigga Doesn't Even Know Where We Are And Yet He Knows This? Something Ain't Right.

"Damn. Does This Mean You Ain't Gon Be My Best Man?" I Said, Laughing. I Wasn't Gon Let Him Know That I Was Curious Or Getting Suspicious. He Chuckled.

"Laugh It Up All You Want Fuck Boy! But Hear This...I Will Have The Last Laugh!" He Said. And With That...He Hung Up.
