His Melanin Addiction

TRINITY CARTER

"So, you're a chicken." Chast asked me as I packed my suitcase. Josiah and I were leaving to go back to school.

"I'm not a chicken...I'm just-"

"Pussy as fuck." she interrupted me.

"Chast, honestly I don't have time for this right now."

"Trinity, it's like you don't want to be happy. I mean you could've had sex then, snap on his ass. But nope you had to yell first." she went on. I honestly don't understand why she's pushing so hard for me to be with Josiah.

"Chastity, who's side are you on?"

"Fuck sides. I'm the one that sees how happy he makes you. Trinity, you could be real fucking happy if you not always blocking shit. I mean damn." Chastity said looking completely annoyed. I looked at her in disbelief. Like how are you upset? I'm the one that messed up.

"Chastity, when you go through what I'm going through, talk to me. Okay." I said as I picked my bags up and walked straight out the door. I walked down the stairs and out of the house. I walked past Josiah, ignoring him as he reached for my bags. I was just tired of it all. I threw my bags in the trunk and went over to my mom hugging her.

"Fix yuh face." She said. I placed a fake smile in my face and she hugged me.

"You need to relax and let things happen." I heard her whisper in my ear. I looked at her in disbelief. She glanced over at Josiah. And he was just sitting on the car texting on his phone.

"Mom."

"No, you guys need to relax. Don't rush and ruin what you could have a lifetime of." She said. I nodded.

"The both of you need to stop forcing things and allow God to move through this relationship. Unno nuh have nuh patience." She said as we walked closer to the car. She asked me if i was hearing and of course I nodded. She hugged me before kissing me on my cheek, I gave her a kiss on her cheek to and walked over to the car. I got in the backseat and Chastity sat in the passenger side. Josiah slid in the drivers seat and started driving to his dad house to pick up his son.

I was completely shocked that Josiah even allowed Lindo to be around his dad. Josiah and his dad been on some real bad terms. Though Claudia was in jail for medical negligence and malpractice, they still never spoke.

"I'll be right back."

"Okay, hurry up." Chastity mumbled. I watched as he knocked the door and Lindo wobble ran as fast as he could. Mr. Davis handed his baby bag to him before looking to his son awkwardly. Josiah's dad stuck his hand out for a handshake, but Josiah hugged his dad.

"Oh, wow. Looks like someone is in a forgiving mood, seems like someone needs to ask for a step by step tutorial-."

"Chastity-"

"I know, I know. Stop with the bull shit." Chastity said mocking what I would've told her. Josiah walked over to the car sort of struggling with a upset toddler.

"You should help him out." Chast, said as she placed her earbuds in her ears. I opened the door and got out to help him.

"What you doing?" He asked.

"Helping." I said.

"Man, get back in the car." He said sounding like he was really annoyed of me.

"No." I said as I pulled Lindo up and cuddled him, distracting him, when Josiah threw the baby's bag in the backseat I buckled him in. I gave him a Spider-Man action figure to distract him for a while.
