In the Mix of It All .

Caught In Her Trap .

A'Janae | Nae .

I woke up to an empty other side of the bed. After struggling to sit up, I reached over and grabbed my phone ready to text him, but my door opened. In walked a very fine Rashad. "Bae I made you some breakfast if you hungry." His deep voice lightly boomed through my bedroom. I stretched one more time before throwing the covers back. "Aww, thanks boo. Here I come." He turned back around and exited my room. I love my baby.

I walked downstairs and that's when the smell hit my nose. Some good bacon, eggs, and pancakes. He even cut we up some fruit to go with it. I pulled him into a big hug "It smells amazing babe. Thank you for cooking." He gave me a kiss, "You know I gotchu." I smiled up at him and then went to sit at the table. He grabbed my plate and sat it in front of me. Once I started eating, I couldn't stop. "D*** Rashad! This is amazing!" He just smirked, "Now you know yo man can cook sum' girl." I gave a small giggle.

After eating, I put my plate in the dishwasher along with some other dishes that needed washing and started it. I went into the living room where my bae was and cuddled up next to him. He continued to flip through the channels. "Dang, nun really on this morning." I nodded "I know. Here, let me see it. I'll find a movie." Rashad handed me the remote. "There and while you do that, I'm gonna go take a shower. I'll be back. Don't start without me!" I hollered back since he had already got up and left "I won't!"

I continued flipping through the movie names. There was barely anything new this time. Just when I was about to exit, Rashad's phone started going off. I looked at it sitting on the arm of the couch, but decided against it and turned back to the TV. I tried to ignore it but the buzzing kept distracting my thoughts. So, I picked it up just to see who it was. The contact said Denise. Tf n****? I answered the phone before it missed the call. "Hello?"

"Hello? Where's Rashad?" Huh?

"He's busy right now. What do y-"

"Just let Rashad know his son is still waiting to meet him."

Those words pierced my heart. Son? She must have the wrong Rashad...

"I'm sorry. I think you have the wrong Rashad."

"Rashad Wright?"

My heart dropped to my stomach. He had a son and he kept it from me?

"I-I...son? I don't understand. Who are you?"

After about 3 seconds of silence, the line went dead. She hung up. I felt my nose start burning as tears were forming along the rims of my eyes. What the f*** just happened? I was feeling mixed emotions of sadness, anger, and confusion, all at the same d*** time. I threw the remote off me and got up and ran to the kitchen. Where are my d*** keys? I need time to think, to breathe. I found them hanging on the wall. I snatched them as quick as I could. I continued to fight and hold back my tears. This is ridiculous. Something like this you don't hide. I grabbed up my phone and purse and turned for the door, but when I turned around Rashad was standing in front of me wrapped up in his towel. The knot in my throat automatically got bigger. I didn't really wanna talk to him right now but I had to figure this out and clear my mind.

Rashad looked at me confused and worried. He stepped up closer to me but I stepped away. "Baby what's wrong? Where are you going?" I tried to blink away my tears but my eyes were too heavy and so I just let them fall. I just rolled my eyes and tried to walk past him.

"Don't worry about it. It's least of your worries."

His eyebrows furrowed together. "A'Janae what are you talking about?"

"Do you have a son?"

Rashad just stared at me like he saw a freakin' ghost. His face almost lost all the color in it. But he has yet to answer my question. By now I could tell something's wrong. The tears starting streaming extremely faster and I couldn't control my feelings.

"F****g answer me Rashad! Answer me!" I felt my knees get weaker and weaker as I spoke through sobs. "Answer...me."

He still continued to look at me like I was a ghost. I couldn't believe him. So it was true? I straightened myself up and pushed past him to leave this house, but he gripped onto my wrist.

"Wait, I can explain! This girl, she kept sayin' I got her pregnant but I know I didn't. Nae I promise I wouldn't do that to you!"

I just looked him into his eyes trying to believe him. I really wanted to believe him, but I wasn't done. A girl doesn't just say you got her pregnant if y'all don't mess around so how in the world does he know what the truth is?

"How do you know she's lying?"

Rashad's eyes slowing moved from mine to the ground. "I-I...I don't. But A'Janae!! Please just hear me! I-..."

I snatched my arm out of his grip. I heard enough and I don't want to hear anymore. I just stormed out the house. I'm not sure where I'm going next, but I just want to be alone.

Rashad | Shad .

"S***!!" I spun around and punched the first wall in my way. I ran into the kitchen and just started destroying s***. I'm so f*****g mad. Bruh I just know our relationship is for real over this time. Ain't no way she coming back home. I mean I don't blame her either. A h** just called my phone and told the girl I planned on marrying that I have a son waiting to meet me. First off, I ain't never seen the kid. Not a picture or in person. Second, like I said before, this girl a h**. She sleep around with d*** near every n****.

I snatched up my phone and tried to call Nae but she sent me straight to voicemail every time. I sent her a couple messages and trust me she read them all. And ten minutes later, I got a text from her that had an angry emoji and a long a** paragraph telling me how I'm useless. In my mind I was thinking "Dang, I really did do it this time." But when I got to the end of the paragraph, it was signed off by Melanie. Dang, she always get the news before an hour passes after the incident. I had decided to just quit calling and texting her before I get blocked by her or her d*** best friend. But I knew one thing for sure, I was about to give Denise a piece of my mind. I picked up the phone ready to cuss when I heard something I most definitely wasn't ready for.

A little boy answered the phone. "Helwo?" I could feel my heart begin to race.

"Let me talk to yo mama."
