Opposites Attract

What Now?

Shanelle's P.O.V

It had been almost two weeks since my encounter with Nasir. Since then I picked more hours up working in the kitchen at the nursing home a couple of blocks away from my house and have been going straight home afterwards. Kelise has been continously trying to get me out of the house but I kept declining. But since I was off today, I agreed to go to the beach with her and Zay later on. Luckily, the girls had summer camp and daycare, so I wouldn't have to worry about taking them with me.

After catching the bus with the twins to the Boy's and Girl's club, I ended up at Walmart to grab me a quick swimming suit and coverup. I was looking at bikini's when I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up to be greeted by Jon.

"Wassup Ms. Lady?"

"Hey, nothing much.. starting to think you stalking me.", I laugh.

He smirks, "Girl you would know if I was stalking you , because I would make it known."

"Ugh, you are so annoying."

"So annoying that I'm putting a smile across your beautiful face?", he tilts his head to the side.

I ignored him as I continued to match some pieces together.

"How about this one?", he picks up a one piece that disconnects in the back.

"Oh, that one is kind of cute and it's my favorite color", I grab it from him.

He snatches it back and licks his lips. "Ion know, where you think you going with this on anyways?"

"Why you questionin' me like you my nigga?", I smack my lips.

"Trust me, if I was yo nigga you wouldn't be going anywhere with a tiny ass bikini on without my consent.", he says while mugging me.

I started laughing at his remark and the stupid look on his face made me laugh even harder. We stood around talking as he helped me pick out a coverup to match it. In the midst of us goofing around, a cute little girl caught my eye.

She was waving at me and trying to give me one of her little snacks. I walked over to her and started playing with her, then her mother walked over.

"Awww, she's so adorable. How old is she?", I asked the mother.

"Thank you, and she's two and a half.", she says as she smiles, "tell the pretty woman thank you Naysia."

"Tank you", the little girl says in the cutest voice.

"Hey babe, they didn't have any of that Japanese cherry blossom shit, so is this Hawaiin one cool?", I heard a male's voice come from behind me.

"Ugh, that's the only one I like but yea that'll have to work. Thanks Nas."

I instantly froze up, and feared to turn around.

"Daddy", the little girl cooed. He moved around me and took her out of the cart. Our eyes met and he had the dumbest look on his face. This little girl looked just like him now that were near each other, it was easy to see. Naysia had chubby cheeks and light grey eyes just like her dad. She wore her sandy brown hair in two puff balls and her bright skin tone was complemented by her pinkish red lips. This was most definitely his child.

Instantly, I felt tears forming in the back of my eyes.

"Baby, you bout ready to head home?", I heard Jon ask as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Uh, yea babe... bye cutie", I waved to his daughter and gave him a look before walking away.

"You good ma", Jon asks. We were now standing in line.
