MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 71

Mike's POV

I went to Waffle House to meet TaMeka. No I didn't tell Shaye cause I don't need her thinking some shit is up cause I don't got time for that today

"Mike you're late I said 12. Its almost 12:30," Meka said as I walked in

"Ok, I had some shit to do before this that made me a little late. But I'm here so that's all that matters right," I said sitting across from her

"Why do you always gotta have an attitude for no reason. I thought we were past the childish shit," she said rolling her eye

"I ain't being childish. You asked me why I was late so I told you," I said

"Whatever, but have you talked to Shaye," she asked & I was confused cause why is she concerned with me talking to Shaye

"What type of question is that. I talk to her everyday that's my woman. We see each other almost every morning & night," I answered to her 

"I was just asking. I don't keep up with who you dating or talking to," she said lying like a muthafucka. I beat she can tell you every broad I fucked or talked to outside of Shaye cause she be keeping taps on a nigga. I told ya'll I know how to lay the pipe & girls don't know how to let it go

"That's none of your concern. But where is my son," I asked sipping some of the water on the table

"He's with my mom for the day, cause he wasn't feeling well. So I didn't take him to day care," she said

"Oh well tell her I'm coming to get him later on. But what you need to talk about that you couldn't say over the phone," I asked

"Um, I don't know how to say this but um," she was beating around the bush 

"TaMeka just say the shit please. I don't got time for games," I said getting aggravating

"I'm moving to New York the end of May with my boyfriend & I'm taking Mikey with me," she said & it didn't register with me just yet

"Wait wha.t I think I heard wrong. Say it again louder," I said leaning closer to make sure I heard her better

"I said I'm moving to New York with my boyfriend & I'm taking Mikey with me," she repeated & I looked at her cause I thought that was what I heard

"Bitch you must be on some strong drugs or drunk as hell," I said laughing cause this gotta be a joke or some shit. If she said she's moving to another state & taking my son with her 

"I'm serious Mike. Its time for me to live my life & not be hindered cause of you," she said

"I ain't hindering you from doing shit. But I'll tell you this much my son ain't moving to another state so you can live with another nigga. You must really be one stupid bitch if you think I'm gone let that fly," I said looking at her. I rarely call her out her name outta respect for being my sons mother, but that ain't the case today 

"You got one more time to call me a bitch. That's my fucking son so if I wanna move & take him with me to another state I will. Its nothing you can do about it cause last I checked I had full custody of him," she said pissing me off even more 

"No we have joint custody & you ain't taking him nowhere. I will make sure of that. Play with me if you want to & we will see. Don't get you or yo lil boyfriend ass beat," I told her seriously 

"Mike you ain't shit. That's why I'm taking Mikey away. He don't need you," she said

"He don't need me. Bitch he don't need you. I take care of him. I pay you child support. I buy his clothes. I pay his daycare. So he really don't need you. Plus Shaye is a better mother to him than you are & you gave birth to him," I told her
