Get You

Don't Get Ya Feelings Hurt

"He took in a deep breath and rubbed his hand over his face, "Bernice is a female that I would mess with on and off for about two years. She called me last week saying she is two months pregnant."

    I looked at him and tried my best not to jump across the couch on him but my resolve was weak. I flew from the couch to try and catch him slipping, When I reached him he grabbed my arms and body slammed me to the couch. "It's not my baby! I swear man." I twisted my face up ready to punch him again. "Listen to me Mila, I haven't fucked with her since about 5 months before I got into town. She is a drug addict, her baby daddy used to beat on her, she is in and out of rehab. I don't know what she told you, but none of it is true." I stayed still, because she could have lied to me. I'm trying to really look at him and I don't see any fidgeting so I tell him, "Let me up. I'm not going to hit you." he slowly let me up and backed up really fast.

I just looked at him and said, "So lets say she is lying, what does that have to do with me?" I just stared at him. He rubbed down his face, "Mila I'm going to be honest, I'm not going to let you go. If you try and date another man, I will fuck him up. I know right now your trust is a little shaky because of this, I was just needing time to sort this out so I could avoid this." I scrunch my face up at him. "You're right, my trust is a little skewed because instead of coming to me when some bullshit showed up at your door. You went straight to ignoring me and blocking me out. Also let me tell you something, I know you are a Mays man and yall were built to lead your family but understand you can lead without being a dictator. You cannot tell me what to do and how to go about my life, you can lead while being a team with me." He nodded and came and sat by me.

As he started to kiss my neck, I pushed him away and said, "I'm single until further notice fam, I need to speak with ya girl or babymama or whatever." He looked at me crazy, "You can speak with Bernice, who by the way is not my girl or babymama. But this whole you single shit is not gone work for me. Plus you might be pregnant and if you are we need to find another place to stay." He rubbed my stomach and I moved his hand from my stomach, "Boy I'm not pregnant, I got sick from drinking. Call your girl so I can know what is going on." He kissed his teeth and sat up to call Bernice. I had gotten up to go to the bathroom and to figure out what I was going to wear, since I wasn't going to see nobody I didn't get dressed up nice but just in some tights and a long open jean shirt with a white tank top. I slipped on my pink puma slides. As I walked out Kareem grabbed me up and kissed me, "You look beautiful baby. You ready?" I nodded.

We pulled up in front of the place that Bernice was at and looked at eachother. He took a deep breath and opened the door. I opened my door and stepped out, as I was grabbing my purse when I felt a smack on my ass. I whipped my head around, "Kareem I'm single, you can't be touching on me like that." I walked on past him while he stood there with a mug on his face. "You done lost yo mind Mila, lets go inside before I act up." He snatched up my hand while I hid my smile. He opened the door and spoke to the hostess who was walking us to Bernice.

When I saw the table I see it was only a table for two, she looked surprised as she saw me. I looked at Kareem and said, "You didn't tell her I was coming?" He did a sly smile and shook his head no. He said, "Can you bring an extra chair ma'am?" She saw the pending drama and took a chair from another table and slid it to the table. We both sat down and Bernice was looking at me like, "You bitch." I said, "Okay so let me give you a little run down about me okay Bernice because I see in your eyes you want to jump across this table and get your ass beat. So my name is Mila, as you know, at the time when you came back into Kareem life-" He interrupted me, "She's not back in my life Mila, stop that shit." I waved him off. "When you shared the news of your pregnancy I was in a relationship with Kareem, so when I saw you at the club I knew I needed to speak with you about what was going on with yall. Then you told me he was your babydaddy and all that good shit, and I broke up with him. So he has brought me here as a friend." He scrunch up his face again. "Listen Bernice, tell my fiancé what's the real right now, because you fucking up my family dawg." She looked at his face then mine, "Well I have known Kareem for a long time, like a long time. As friends then as lovers-" Kareem put his hand down, "Cut that shit Bernice, tell us what the fuck you want so we can move around." Her eyes watered up. "Look when I have this baby, someone has to take care of it. I figure since Kareem left me in a hard spot 5 months ago and I got caught up with this no good ass nigga."
