You & I (A Michael B Jordan story)

Karmas a B

Walking into my office, I prayed that today would be uneventful and run smoothly. I hadn't heard from Mike since Nicole had her baby and let me just say Mike was heated. I took some joy in seeing him get bit in the ass by karma. Just seeing him hurt the way that I hurt was like the ultimate payback. And no I didn't feel sorry for his ass either! I was pulled from my thoughts when someone began knocking on my door.

"Come in," I called out without looking up to see who had entered.

"How you gon play me like that Genesis?!" Mike walked in looking like he hadn't slept in weeks and irate if I say so myself.

"What goes on between you and yo boo thang has nothing to do with me. Besides I'm not at liberty to share any information regarding Nicole to you. She's the one you need to be upset with, not me. I'm not the one that cheated and told you that it was yours, nor am I going to let you barge into my office and yell at me for your bitch not knowing how to keep her fucking legs closed. You wanted that so you deal with it. Besides I kinda gave your ass a heads up when I told you to leave the delivery room. Not my fault that you wanted to stay, but hey at least you learned the truth about ya little girlfriend." I let a little laugh escape my mouth. "Look, you look like shit and you smell horrible. Go home shower and get some rest. The world doesn't stop just because your feelings got hurt. Get your shit together and get your priorities in order."

He looked at me with pain in his eyes. "How can anyone be so calm after getting hurt like that?" He sat in one of the chairs in front of my desk, crying.

"I can be calm and not give a damn because it's happened to me. Don't forget you left me high and dry. I had to fend for myself and our son when you refused to answer my calls and texts. Do you know he almost died? Hell, I almost died too. I used my anger and hate towards you to get me through everything that I had to deal with. Now I can honestly say that I don't give two fucks. Khi is well taken care of and is as healthy as can be. The sad thing about all of this is that his father will never know what an amazing child he is because he refuses to come around."

"I want to but can I get a DNA test first? I want to be sure he's mine. Nicole fucked my head up with this shit."

"No, Nicole has nothing to do with our situation. You made up your mind about us the day I told you that I was pregnant. I don't have shit to hide, you want the test, take it," I said as I stood up to put some files away that I had been working on. "You should know that I'd never cheat on you. I didn't have the time nor did I have the desire to do so. I loved you and at that point in our relationship I wanted more. I wanted us to be a family, but I knew you weren't going to be happy. Yes, I mentally prepared myself for your anger. I told myself to start letting you go before I even made it to your house. I'm glad that I did. It wasn't easy but I got over you. You want a DNA Test, you can have it. He's with Zayne, I'll call him an let him know that you're coming over to see the baby, but you are not to leave that house with with Khi. You can help Z out with Khi's nightly routine if you stay that long," with that I walked out of my office.

"Would you ever take me back?" He called after me. I stopped walking as I thought about his question and turned toward him. He stood there looking like he was full of hope.

"To be honest with you, it would take a lot for me to get back with you. I wouldn't make things easy for you at all. Now if you don't mind, I have a baby to deliver and you really need to take a shower cause you stink."

I went about my business doing paperwork and delivering babies. I loved seeing these families so happy and filled with joy. Once things on the unit settled down, I walked over to my work wife to ask her some questions.
