Inevitable

3.

These past couple of weeks have been great with Micah. He's so sweet and so smart, this boy actually bought Micah clothes and some new toys. He didn't need them but it was awesome that he helped. Since he did me a favor by watching Micah when I had to take an exam, I decided id treat him to a date.

I decided to dress up a little. I died my hair this orangy-auburn color. I thought it looked great against my skin. I wore a flowy black dress and strap up sandals. I put some Vaseline on my lips and grabbed my purse.

I was trying to make it out the house before Benny came in. I see that my plan didn't work out so well as he was sitting on the couch with his feet propped up. I nonchalantly walked past him as if he didn't exist.

"Where the fuck you going?" he asked with his face turned up in disgust.

"Out....to mind my own business." I said smartly. "Your son is your business bitch. You out here dressing like a hoe when he is no where to be seen."

I bit my bottom lip trying to hold back my tears. My phone vibrated in my hand as the tears started falling. It was Micah, I raced out the house as he was getting out his car.

"Shit, whats wrong?" He asked catching me before we collided.

"If you leave, don't bring your ass back here bitch!" Benny said standing on the porch. I stared at him with wet eyes. I had so much hate in my heart for him that it was just sickening.

"Let's go." Micah said to me while eyeing him. He opened my door for me then got in on his side. All my tears finally stopped falling. I was able to catch my breath and call my mom.

I let her know I wouldn't be back tonight and to bring Kaiser to my sister's house.

"That was your dad?" Micah asked as he sat across from me. I filled my mouth with macaroni and shook my head.

"We can talk about something else. I just want you to be okay. You know I'm here for you right Nesh?" I shrugged.

"No one has ever really been here for me. It's either you're here to get something or you're not here at all. I don't know what's different about you but something made me take a chance." I confessed. He smirked and flicked my cheek.

"You took a chance cause you know I'm sexy." he said posing. I burst out laughing at his antics.

"You aight." he rolled his eyes and called the waiter over for the check.

"Where you going tonight?" Micah asked as we sat in his 2012 Audi. I admired the scent of it as I avoided his question.

"So we ignore each other now?" I chuckled and touched his French braids. They were braided back and he had a clean cut. He shook his head and started the car.

"oh no...I can't skate." I said. Micah ignored me and turned off his car. He came around to my side and opened my door for me. I thanked him and he grabbed my hand.

"imma teach you." I cringed at the thought of me skating. Me and sports never went together, me and wheels never went together. I remember when I was little I was trying to learn how to skateboard. Lets just say I ended up with a bald spot in my head and a skate board with a block braid in it.

I knew this was gonna be bad.
