Mindset

I haf fixed Aleah's diaper bag and found some clothes for Candice and put it all by the front door.

My phone had went off to Hold You Down and I answered cautiously as I entered our closet.

"Yeah baby?" I greeted knowing it could only be candy.

"I hope you ain't bringing me nothing provocative." she warned. I chuckled.

"I'm not wandering that until I have a lawyer and a dictionary present." I joked in a business like manner pulling out a pair of dickies and a white polo. Her laughing was strained and I could yell it hurt her to do so.

"Baby you need to rest. You hurting me hearing you hurt. I gotta hit the shower and massage my muscles anyway. You know how hard you had a grip on me??" I joked more.

"Please don't make me laugh she whined stifling a laugh.

"I'm not promising anything, but I would like a nice hot bubble bath with my fiance." I said skipping out of my clothes and leaving just my sports bra on as I wrapped myself with a towel around me. Going for the bathroom.

"You'd like that wouldn't you? " she said seductively. I could hear the amusement I in her voice. I scoffed. She knew what she was doing.

"Yes, I would. Just me and you making bubbles." I smiled as she giggled and frowned when I hear her wince in pain.

"I love your goofy self. She said sleepy but within that, I could hear the smile in her voice.

"I love your serious self. Sleep baby. You need it!" I complained. "Love you." I said sweetly.

"Love you too Chris. Bye." she said sleepy. I chuckled.

"Bye Candy." I said hanging up. I sat my phone down on the bathroom counter as soon as the door bell rang.

Who the fvck. I wondered heading for the shower. I was about to let it go until the doorbell runs again. Then they started banging on the door like the damn police. I stormed out the room; towel still wrapped around me. I sprinted to the door and opened it yelling-

"Man who the fvck is ba-"

"Oou, Chris is mad with no clothes on." Tonya said biting her lip. I mugged.

"Mane, what you want?" I asked her. She looked over my body and shrugged.

I wanted to see if everything went good with your girl and your-her baby. I feel like I know her. Do I?" she asked as I shut the door from her lurking eyes.

"She's good. The babies good." I lied to her, but she don't know that. Especially around this bitch.

"That's good. The question; you never answered it." she said in a slick tone which I ignored.

"You might. Then again you never met her in person." I said honestly. She hadn't met her in person but did ask who that one pretty girl was throughout my whole room and domain. One day it pissed her off so much after we fucked because I called her by Candy's name.

That was one part of our relationship that I always seemed to laugh about. To imagine myself with her was mad ridiculous back then. I'm just grateful that she gave me a chance.

"wow that's yo- was your friend right? And she was pregnant with somebody else's kid. I know that pisses you off huh? I mean, obviously it's not yours, but you guys are married now?" she asked flustered but she seemed amused by my face. I sighed.

"So-so. Planning the wedding now. If your good I'll invite you." I said straight faced but knowing my ass was lying. She did too and rolled her eyes.
