Sleeping With The Enemy (EDITED VERSION) COMPLETED

chapter 3

I enjoyed going shopping with my girl i really cherished the time when we spent just the day together alone no work, no homie's, no family ; just us. I loved my girl a lot, so I decided it was time for her to meet mama dukes. One day when I'm ready to let the streets go then I'ma go ahead and start a little family with Carmen. It was starting to get hotter outside even though we didn't live in the south it still got hot as fuck out here. I drove out west  cause me and Carmen stayed further out west than my moms did. I haven't been over to my mom's since I left Mercedes i ain't going to lie Mercedes knew mama dukes too, but that's because we had dated on an on off after I dropped out of high school.

"Where we going" Carmen asked looking around the unfamiliar neighborhood.

"You'll see" I said pulling into my mom's white two story house. I parked my bentley bentayga in the driveway and carmen got out.

"Babe who house is this?" Carmen asked grabbing her purse out the backseat.

"Mama dukes" I said while grabbing my mom's gift and pulling out rack from the duffle bag. I closed the car door and push the lock button on my key fob. I rounded the car and grabbed Carmen's hand guided her up the steps of my mom's house. I had opened the front door , because for some odd reason my mom felt the need to keep her door unlocked unless it was night time.

"Hey ma Dukes" i yelled as me and Carmen made our way through the foyer of her home.

"Oh hey baby" my mom said walking around the corner and giving me a hug..

"Aye mom I got someone I want you to meet" I said stepping back away from my mom.

"Who's this beauty ? your name is Mercedes right?" my mom asked. I was pissed she even brought up Mercedes because I ain't never told Carmen about her because she was an ex and I knew Carmen would give me hell about this tonight. "Naw ma you know that girl been cut" I said hoping that would give Carmen some relief, but I seen in the fire in her eyes that she was pissed.

"Oh okay well I'm Sharon baby what's your name?" my mom said to Carmen then giving her a hug. "I'm Carmen jones" she said with a warm smile

"Nice to meet you Carmen, so are you dating my lovely son?" My mom asked with a smile while walking back into the living room "yes ma'am I am" Carmen said looking over at me smiling but you could still see the fire in her eyes as she followed behind my mom into the livingroom.

"Aye mom I got some money for you and a gift" I said pulling out the rack of money out my pants pocket. "Naw baby I'm good,  I got plenty of money in the bank I can manage off that for a while." my mom said pushing away the money I tried handing her. I stuffed the money into my mom's Michael Kors bag when she wasn't looking before handing her the gift.

"Here mom" I said holding out the bag. My mom grabbed the bag and sat down on her gray soft plush loveseat. She pulled out the purse from the bag and tears filled her eye's like a tide.

"This what i've been asking you to get me for over 3 months now"  Mom said as she looked the purse over. "I know i'm late on getting you the purse, but i need this pretty ladies help" I said nodding my head towards Carmen. "Well young lady you have great taste" Mom said getting up and hugging Carmen. "Ya'll sit down and stay a while " Mom said while sitting back down.

"Naw, mom's we actually got to get ready to go, I got to check up on the business, but i'll be by later because I need to talk to you" I said giving her a hug.

"Carmen come by sometime and see me honey" my mom said as we was walking towards the front door.

"Okay I will" Carmen said giving my mom a hug before closing the door behind us. I couldn't believe this shit Mercedes was walking down the street. I tried getting Carmen to move a little faster because I knew this situation wasn't going to go well.
