The Come Up

Chapter 16

When we pulled up to AK's baby momma house, I just knew something was bout to go down. "Alexus... Ain't nobody perfect. So, when we get in don't judge." When he said that I knew she was ugly, dirty, and/or she was fucked up in some kind of way. I smiled a little as we walked up to the door. 'Knock Knock' "Who is it?" a lady said. She sounded like a little girl. "AK.." When she opened the door my mouth dropped.

"Alexus what you doing here?" a youngster from my school said. "Leah? You AK baby momma?" I said a little upset. She nodded. "How old are you?" I said looking in her eyes. "Sixteen." I wanted to slap the shit out of AK. He didn't tell me the momma was this young. "Enough with the small talk. Where Lil Ant at?" AK said looking mad. "In his room... Why?" "He told me... You was talkin' shit. So what you say Leah?" he said walking in the house. "All I said was that you a deadbeat ass daddy. I wasn't even talking to Lil Ant. I was talking to Shamea. And where my money nigga?" she said muggin' AK. "Bitch I sent you money for Lil Ant two days ago. And is that golds in yo mouth? Bitch go pawn that shit and go buy my nigga some food, clothes, and shoes. ANT!!! Come on let's go." Leah stood there looking crazy. Lil Ant came running down the hallway with his backpack at hand. "Bye momma." he said quickly. AK picked up Lil Ant and we walked out. I felt so lost.

We got in the car and I just stared at him. "I know what you thinkin'.... She lied about her age. She told me she was fifteen.... We fucked that once and a week later she was pregnant." he said keeping his eyes on the road. I shook my head and looked at my phone. We stopped at the gas station and he said, "You coming in or what?" I shook my head no and sunk into my seat. Tatyana called soon as he got out.

Conversation:

Me: What's up girl?

Tatyana: What you and AK up to?

Me: Girllllllll that's something we'll talk about that when I get home. But what you and Justin doing?

Tatyana: Just left the trap... I was trying to bring you lunch but they said you and AK was gone.

Me: Im sorry honey... I'll talk y'all to dinner tonight but I have to go AK coming back.

Tatyana: Alright love you.

Me: Love you too.

End Of Conversation

"Who you love?" AK said getting in the car. "My business...." I said throwing my phone in my lap folding my arms. He shook his head and took the keys out. "What you so irritated for? You mad cus' I got a youngin' pregnant? You like me or something?" he said looking at me. I looked at him hard. "Nigga I don't want you.... Your just a rapist, that's all." I said shrugging. "Man I told you she lied about her age... I had to take care of the bitch whole family to keep me out of jail! What don't you fucking get?" he said turning red. "Nigga you suppose to catch shit like that... You ain't notice she was flat chested? You ain't notice that she didn't go to any of the high schools around you? Fuck wrong wit you?" The look on his face was priceless. He was so mad steam was coming off his head. "Take me to the trap... I need to get my car." He nodded and sped up.

When we got there, I got out the car and slammed the door. "Momma!!!" I stopped and looked back. Lil Ant always calling me back when I'm mad. "Yes baby?" I said trying to smile. "Love you." I smiled for real then. "Love you too baby..." I said waving him good bye. After they drove off I got in my car and went home.

I drove up to a near by gas station to get gas. "Excuse me ma'am... Do you have any change?" a homeless man said walking up to me. Lord knows I have a soft spot for homeless people. I pulled a loose twenty out my purse and gave it to him. "Ma'am.." "Your welcome." I said smiling and walking off. I walked in the store and it was a dude eyeing me. "Problem?" I said forgetting I was no longer on business hours. "Nah... You just fine." he said walking out the door. He was a tall white man with blue eyes and tattoos. He was fine but I wasn't worried about him. I walked up to the cashier and said,"Let me get some swishers, a pack of newports and $40 on pump 3." The dude put all my stuff on the counter and rung it all up. "Here you go baby girl. Have a nice night." I nodded and walked out the door.

When I got outside the white man in the store was looking at my car. "Can I help you?" I said walking up to the pump. "This can't be your car..." he said watching me. "Yes.. Its mine. Why you say that?" I said putting the pump in the car. "Damn girl... Well its nice. But what's your name?" "Unknown..." He laughed and got closer. "Well Unknown... Can I get your number?" I laughed and began to take out the pump. By this time he was at my car door. I opened the door and got in. He just smiled and walked off. I crunk up my car and drove off.

I was about three blocks from my house at a red light and I decided I was going to call Tatyana. Until my window was smashed in and I was grabbed. My vision was blurred....
