Dominic

Well shit, I'm about to murder Derrick. This nigga really didn't think about my feelings bringing Maurice here knowing Keith watching Dominic. Didn't even give me time to process and plan out how I'm going to talk to Maurice. Now my ass staring at him speechless.
"Can I hang with more-rice more mommy?" Dominic asked. My heart is swimming in my stomach fluids right now.
"Umm..-"
"I don't mind. I'm free on Saturdays and Sundays ma," Maurice said cutting me off.
"Um, sure- yeah why not," I told him. I have no idea what I'm doing right now.
"It's so damn awkward in here," Derrick said.
"Well who's fucking fault is that!" I snapped at him. I really wanna chop his throat.
"I'm lost as hell. Wassup? Ion like secrets," Keith said.
"Dominic, I forgot to show you something! Follow me," Nae hits Dominic's arm and ran to her room. They are so damn cute, they be having me thinking I should make another baby. But then I take Dominic home and that just exits out my head so quick. It was quiet in the room for a while.
"Tell me wassup bruh," Keith said breaking the silence.
"Basically Maurice is Dominic father and he didn't even know because Aneis-" I threw my shoe straight at his forehead as hard as I can.
"Damn bit-"
"FINISH THAT FUCKING WORD! I DARE YOU!" I snapped. I get heated so damn quick. Why he spilling shit anyway? It's not his fucking business.
"Aneis," I heard Maurice say getting up. ask me. I looked down playing with my nails until I heard footsteps coming closer to me. I looked up seeing Maurice. Outta no where my tough skin turned soft as hell along with my eyes tearing up.
"I'm so sorry Maurice," I managed to get out with a tear falling. He hugged me so tight. I never thought I'll be in the arms of this man ever again. That was my mindset when I left, this whole thing is like a boomerang. I let go of him and he wiped away my tear on my cheek.
"I'm not mad. I understand what you had to do and I'm hella proud of what you have became after everything," He said , "But Aneis, I really want to be in Dominic's life if you let me ma," He suggested.
"I-I don't know. You have a future with this football and college work-. Taking care of a son just-"
"A son. A son I never knew I had. If I knew then I would of been in his life from the start. Since I have an opportunity, I just need your permission," He told me. His words stay getting me convince to whatever he says.
"I'll think about it Maurice. I'm .. still processing," I responded. Next thing you know Dominic and Nae came running around the corner.
"Mommy I'm ready to go," Dominic said hugging my leg.
"You don't want no pizza? Because I'm not cooking when we get home," I told him. I'm not, y'all don't understand how lazy I be when I'm done working for the day. And it's 7pm? I know that sounds early but ya girl is tired.
