What About It

Just Me and My Son

     TREY***

I got up out the bed my head was spinning like I had a hangover and a nigga ain't even drunk shit like damn.I got my clothes laid out on the bed while Bianca was sleep.I got in the shower,brushed my teeth,and put on my clothes.I was plain dressed a Jordan shirt,Khaki shorts,and my Jordan's because we probably just going to play.I grabbed my keys,wallet,and my phone.I texted Meagan that I would be there in a minute.She said okay and he was ready.I wasn't ready to be a father but hey I need to step up to the plate.I got in my car and headed over to her house.The neighborhood was run down like the hood but hey I ain't complaining I come from the Hood too that's where I was born and raised.Meagan's house was okay compared to the other houses.It was cool I'm cool she cool we cool aye.I got out the car and went and knocked on the door."Hello,My mama is busy right now"The little boy said."Uhm,I'm here for you"I said."For what do I know you nigga "He sneered."No,but I'm your dad "I said."I don't have a dad,Goodbye"He said trying to close the door in my face."Navarre,get yo little bad ass away from the door I then told you about touching this door"She said swatting at his butt."You really act like a black parent"I said."Because I am"She spoke."

They went to the back so I just sat on the couch and waited."That fool ain't my daddy"He spoke to Meagan ."He is and you going to be good because I'm going to whip yo ass because you ain't had a good one in a while"I heard her say.They came back with bags.The bags had transformers on it.He was just staring at my powdered blues."You want some of these"I asked."Yeah some of my friends have them but mom said she can't afford them so.."He said."You know what we going to go get them today"I said to him.He smiled showing his deep dimples."Okay ya'll I got a lunch date"Meagan said."With who"I asked looking up."A friend"She said."Alright I'll have back Tuesday night"I exclaimed. "Alright have fun Navarre be good"She spoke sternly."Alright I got you love you"Navarre said hugging Meagan. "Love you too"She said giving me his bag and hugging him.We got in my car and headed to the mall.Lifestyle by Rich gang was on and Navarre was rapping and singing it on key.The boy could sing and rap.We pulled up to the mall and I opened his door.We walked into the house of hoops,champs, any store you name we went in.I bought him all the Jordan's.Jordan's that wasn't out,Kd's,Lebron's, Kobe's any shoe that's popular  nowadays I bought.I bought him jewelry,clothes,and elite socks.We went to a popular barber shop he already had a mini Afro so I just got it tapered and trimmed I didn't need a haircut so we left.I had 'Tat' take all his stuff to my mama's while he dropped us off at the movies.We was sitting with our drinks waiting for it to start."Why didn't I ever know you"He asked looking in my eyes."Well to be honest you remember last night when everybody was quiet and looking at me,see I didn't know you exist.I wasn't informed that you exist."I said."That's pretty messed up I didn't know that I just thought you didn't like me"He spoke truthfully."How old are you"I asked."I'm four about to turn five in 2 months"He said holding up four fingers."Cool man I know you probably ain't going to ever call me daddy"I said and that's what I was afraid of."Naw ill call you daddy since I know the story now "He spoke honestly."You pretty smart for your age"I said because it was true."I know tee tee taught me a lot of stuff I even know how to read and write some stuff.I know how to spell my name"He said."You in school "I asked. "Yeah I'm the youngest one in my class I'm already in kindergarten "He answered back."You were just like me when I was your age"I Told him proudly."Where you live at"He asked."I live in New York with my fiancé"I said."Yo fiancé is she fine"He asked."Yeah she got a big a..hhh yeah she pretty"I said catching myself."Can we go see the new transformers"He asked."Yeah lets go"I said grabbing him out of his seat.We walked outside to the car and I strapped him in.We drove to the movies and by time we got there it was 6 o clock."Two tickets to transformers one adult one child"I told the lady at the stand."$15.19"She said smiling at me.Damn I forgot my disquise.I got out a CD and a Sharpie and a pen with my signature on it and my face.I used the Sharpie to right my signature on it then I gave her the money and an extra tip.We walked through the doors all the way to the concession stands."Can I get an large and...."I looked down at Navarre."And a small sprite with one large popcorn and two hotdogs"I said to the cashier."Okay that'll be $46.83"He said looking at me."I did the same to him as I did to the girl outside and he gave me my food and thanked me."Why did you do that to them"Navarre asked referring to when I pulled out the Sharpie and CD."Because that's what you have to do to fans"I told him.He looked so confused.We went into the movies watching the movie.

   The movie had just ended and Navarre was sleep with ketchup all around his mouth.I grabbed one of my left over napkins and whipped his face.Then I picked him up and we walked out the movies."Can I have an autograph." "Is that your son Trey." "What are you doing in Virginia" That's what they were asking so I signed a few papers and let them know that Navarre is not my son even though he is.Meagan said she didn't want him in public eye.I told my fans that I would sign autographs tommorow at Riverside Library.I carried Navarre all the way to the car and put him in his carseat.I drove all the way to my mama's house in silence except the light music in the background and his light snores.I parked the car in front of my mama's house.I grabbed Navarre and his Night bag.He had a puddle of drool all on his face.I opened the door with the key.When we walked in all his bags that I bought was in the living room piled on top of eachother.I carried him into my old room and put him in the middle between me and Bianca.I took off his clothes and put him in his pajamas that I bought I threw away all his other clothes they wasn't fitting that good anyway.I got in the shower and washed off for a good 30 minutes.When I got out I changed into my basketball shorts that I play in when I go to the gym and kick it with the boys. I then fell asleep smiling to myself.
