His Melanin Addiction

Josiah Davis

"So you telling me, that your ex. The one you tried the fuck out of go here now?" Kelvin asked as he walked into our dorm with his food in hand. I laughed as I lifted, my son up out of his car seat. Wonder pulled in the box of diapers and bags of food for my son.

"Yup, I saw her talking with Alina." I said setting my son on the couch.

"Damn, she probably spilling the beans to Alina about you." Wonder said as he started playing with my son.

"For real. She probably telling my baby how much of an asshole you are. Shit Alina gonna want to cuff me after she hear about all the shit you put that girl through." Kelvin laughed. I side-eyed him.

"What's your son name again?" Kelvin asked as he lifted my son out of the car seat, making him whine.

"His mom named him Lindo." I spat. I don't know what kind of name she gave him. The name I told her she completely ignored it, she made it his middle name.

"What you named him?" Kelvin laughed setting Lindo on his lap. Bouncing him around.

"I told her that I liked the name CreShawn, that's what we agreed on." I said, trying to check if I had all his necessities.

"Nah, nigga that's what you agreed on. She's the mother she always got the final say." Wonder joked. I sighed as I walked into my room. I started building Lindo's bassinet.

"Aye! Josiah c'merre bro!" I heard Wonder yell. I rushed out thinking something was wrong with Lindo.

"What's up? Is he good?" I questioned my state of pre-panicking was evident.

"Yeah, man he straight. Come here and confirm something for us." Kelvin spoke. I walked over and they were on snapchat.

"That girl in the corner that's your ex?" He asked showing me Alina in her dorm. I was waiting for the snap to reach Trinity and there she was sitting on a bed in the corner.

"Yeah, that's my little baby." I smiled. Kelvin huffed and held Lindo all in my face.

"Nah, my boy this is your little baby. See!" He said taking his phone back. I picked up my son and carried him into my room. I heard him mumbling.

"Shut your dumbass up." I said as soon as I got it. Kelvin was a big ass bear looking ass nigga. He was a little scary not even gonna lie. I sat Lindo on my lap and went on Snapchat and go watch Alina's snap with Trinn and them. She looked so damn good. Lindo started reaching for my phone and I clicked back into reality. I looked at my son looking at all his features. He looked just like me. Which is crazy, cause he really wasn't supposed to be mine.

"Why you looking at him like that?" I heard as Wonder said walking in with his car seat in hand.

"Would you believe me, if I told you that Lindo wasn't supposed to be my son?" I asked. He made his face up in confusion.

"Man, what the hell are you trying to say?" he asked, me. I sighed, setting Lindo on my bed for him to crawl around and entertain himself.

"So, his mom is sadly a hoe-"

"This I know." He interrupted I laughed.

"She slept with an old friend of mine and then slept with me after technically breaking me and Trinn up. She told me that she was pregnant but deep down I didn't believe her, because I mean she's a hoe. When she sent the ultrasound I noticed how big Lindo was looking in her stomach which made me really believe that he wasn't my child. But I guess she had some kind of disease which affected the size of Lindo, so he grew faster than normal." I explained, Wonder nodded telling me to continue.

"When she had an emergency C-section they called me down to do a DNA test. I was confident that I wasn't the father so I went. But when the results came back that I was the father, I was shocked beyond belief."

"Damn, so you got Maury'd." Kelvin chuckled. I looked over to my door and rolled my eyes. Kelvin was really starting to get on nerves, with all his childishness.

"At least you manned up to be a father, wish mine would've done that." Wonder said, as he glanced over at Lindo, who had his whole foot in his mouth.

" Damn LCD you learned that from ya mama didn't you?" Kelvin joked. I laughed a little bit before taking his foot out.

"What the fuck you called my son?" I asked just now realizing he didn't call him by his name. Kelvin laughed.

"You know Least Common Denominitor." he said like it was normal.

"Why you calling him that?" I asked him. He had a dumb expression on his face.

"That's my nickname for the lil'nigga. You know since his name is Lindo CreShawn Davis." Kelvin said.

"You one ignorant bitch."

"Says the one who let his bitch slip from his hands." he said, I popped up real fast ready to punch him one good time.

"She ain't no bitch." I said sizing him letting him know that if he wanted to live he better shut up.

"You right, you right. She'll be mine though, her and Alina." he said, so I punched him...a couple of times, in the face. Wonder popped up and jumped in between it all like a dumbass.

"Aye, ya'll need to chill. There's a baby in the room, and quite frankly both of ya'll baboon asses not gonna get either of ya'll little crushes especially acting like how you are now." Wonder said. We both looked at him and nodded.

"Apologize man, ya'll supposed to be like brothers." Wonder said. Kelvin held his face, which started to swell almost immediately.

"My bad man, I apologize for calling your jawn a bitch." he said.

"Yeah, I'm sorry you did too." I nodded before taking Lindo and walking out before Father Wise, try to check me. I walked out my door and started walking around the campus. I wasn't supposed to have Lindo on campus but I needed to calm myself down.

"Lindo." I said, he looked over at me, with a questioning look.

"Damn, you smart. You don't get that from ya momma, or me so you must've inherited that from my moms." I said to him like he could understand me. I walked over to a bench and sat him on my lap holding him closer to my body. So close I could feel his small heartbeat match mine.

"Look, don't be like me aight. Be like me, but don't. Whatever your heart tells you do, do it. Whatever your brain tells you, ignore that mutha fucka it ain't gon do you no good." I said.

"That's some good advice." I heard a female's voice. I looked over my shoulder and saw, Alina. Deep down I was hoping It would be Trinity.

"Man, what you want?" I asked. Knowing Trinn she probably told her everything from the last detail to the first.

"I want to tell you thank you for being an asshole." she said with a sarcastic smile. I looked at her with a blank face.

"All jokes aside, I want to thank you for hurting my cousin cause I probably wouldn't have know her if it weren't for you breaking her little heart, she would've probably never met me. But with everything she has told me and, I know she left a lot of things out, please steer clear of her. I really want her to reach her goal and I don't need you blocking her of that. Plus, you got a child to grind for." Alina said before walking off. I looked at Lindo and sighed.

"Lord, I know I don't hit you up a lot. But what's good my G? I'm just asking if you could please wrap your arms around me and keep my loved ones safe." I said before getting up and heading back to my dorm ,Lindo of course drooling on me.
