I woke up with the worst headache ever. The sound of bacon lulled me out of my sleep. I sat up, and realized my shoes were off, and my U of L throw blanket was thrown over me. I smiled and I followed the smell of bacon to the other part of the longue that held the refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. I opened the door, and Sam looked up from her magazine.
“Well good morning sleepy head.”
“Morning Sam,” I said walking over to the coffee machine. She had already made me a pot of coffee.
“Thanks for the coffee.”
“You’re welcome I bought you some breakfast too it’s in the microwave. “
I fixed my coffee, and grabbed my food placing them on the table then went to wash my hands at the sink.
“What you over there reading?”
“I’m reading something I should probably not be looking at.”
I sat down and slid the magazine towards me. It was flipped open to an article about Donathon, and he apparently was posing with a young actress, some white chick from Disney that I didn’t know shit about. The bottom of the page had a quote from him saying that had been seeing each other for a while and that she might be the one. I looked over at Sam who was all puffy eyed, and slid the magazine back to her.
“Ma don’t trip. If he is with her then he is doing you a favor for real.”
She nodded, “J I know this is gonna sound like a dumb question, but why do guys do this? I been knowing Don my whole life, and he gets a record deal and acts brand new on me just like that,” she said snapping her fingers.
I opened my food and took a bite,”Ma men are stupid emotionally, take it from me. The stupid shit I pulled with you on my wife’s voicemail didn’t even work. She still wanna leave a nigga.”
“Awww I am sorry J.”
“Well it is what it is, but she ain’t getting my girls, matter fact can you grab my phone out of the lab?”
She got up and grabbed my phone and I attacked my bacon, omelet, and hash browns. She walked back in handing me the phone so I wiped my greasy hands off, and took it. Ma had called 6 times which scared me since she had my kids. I took a sip of coffee and immediately called her back.
Me: Hello.
Ma: Boy where you been, I been trying to call you.
Me: I been sleepin ma that’s all. What’s up are my girls okay?
Ma: Yeah they are good, but I wanted to ask you a question about them.
Me: Okay, what’s up?
