MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 74

Mike's POV

So I decided to go speak with Marcus. I made Ebony come with me cause I mean this is her donor too & he was late. I knew I shouldn't of never came 

"Man, Mike I don't want to be here. I have nothing to say to him. What made you want to even talk to him, & he's late" Ebony said to me 

"Me & Shaye had a talk. She convinced me to just talk to him to see what he really wants. If its some bullshit I'm a leave him along for good. We gone give him a few more minutes then it's a wrap," I said sipping my water  

"Since when did you start listening to anybody. I heard about the situation at moms house. If you ever disrespect mom like that again I will beat the black off yo ass," she said hitting me upside my head like she always used to do

"I ain't mean to disrespect her. I called to apologize. But hit me again Ebony I'm gone beat yo ass sister or not," I said rubbing where she hit cause it hurt

"Yea right you will never hit me, momma or Shaye as much as we stay slapping yo narrow ass. You're scared of us for real," she said & to be honest I was cause they're all crazy. Ebony used to torture me when we were little. We know Shaye is crazy. My mama put the fear of God in me a long time ago

"Whatever, but look he actually showed up," I said pointing to Marcus. I hate to admit I favor his stupid ass & so does Mikey. Ooh the curse

"Hello my children," he said sitting at the table across from us. Ebony rolled her eyes & looked at her phone

"You're late, we said noon. Its 10 minutes to 1 now," I said looking at the time then back to him

"My bad, I had to find a ride cause ya'll know I don't got no car here. But Ebony you're not speaking to your father," he asked

"Hi," she said being evil never looking up at him

"I swear you both act just like your mother," he chuckled

"I mean that tends to happen when that is the only person raising  & teaching you things," I said

"Look I didn't come here for ya'll to throw all that bullshit about me not being there in my face. Or for ya'll to be disrespectful, cause I'm not dealing with that bullshit today. Especially from you Ebony cause I been good to you," he said I know he crossed a line cause she was bout to get in his ass 

"Mike I'm not even bout to do this today so I'm going to leave before I say or do something I'm gone regret. I love you brother," Ebony said grabbing her stuff walking out

"Ebony come on man. Don't leave me hanging," I said calling after her, but she kept walking

"Let the little bitch go then. She's always been the problem child being fast sneaking out & chasing after niggas. That's why she got 3 kids now with different daddies," he said when she only has 2 baby daddies & Dontaye takes care of Essence like his own cause he father isn't around 

"Awe don't disrespect my sister like that ever. I don't give a fuck who you are. Maybe she was being fast & chasing after niggas cause she didn't have a father to show her how a man is supposed to treat her," I told him

"Ok, I wasn't there. What do you want me to do Michael," he asked with his hands on the table

"Its nothing you can do. To be honest personally its nothing I want you to do. But me being the bigger man I'm a let you talk to explain yourself. So get to explaining cause I got better shit to do for real," I said leaning back in the chair waiting on him to talk

He knew better than to some off this way shit cause he ain't want me to beat his ass again. So he started explaining talking bout how he know he was wrong. How he was on drugs bad. That he did cheat on my mama a couple of times & hit her when she pissed him off. He also told me he might have more kids than just us. Or how he would try to come see us, but my mom wouldn't let him if he didn't get clean. So he stopped trying after a while
