COMMITMENT

Chapter 3

Adonis " Lucky "

" I'm Gonna go lay down. "

Karma said as she got up and  walked away. I stared at her.

"Adonis you got you a pretty lady. "

" Yeah. I guess. "

I could feel my uncle analyzing me trying to figure what was wrong.

" Look I know being a father is a new step. But you got this kid. "

I nodded my head. But I Still wasn't believing. Me and Karma really don't get along. How we supposed to raise a son?

" Did you hear what I said Adonis?"

" Yeah. "

I lied as he stood up and I stood up to walking him to the door.

1:00 am

I sat on the couch watching tv playing with my lighter. I was dressed in my night pants with no shirt . These where one of the mini nights I couldn't sleep.

Then I heard foot steps and seen Karma come down stairs dress in a sports bra with my shorts on.

" Why you still up? "

I asked her then she jumped and put her hand over her heart.

"Jesus. You scared me. "

She walked over to me standing in front of me.

" Why are you playing with a lighter? "

" Helps me relax and think. "

I said while looking at the lighter. Then I felt the cushion beside me dip.

" You look different without your cap. "

I turned to look at her then I looked down. She touched my hair. That shit was weird ain't nobody never touched my hair except for my mother and dad.

I grab her hand taking it off.

"Sorry. "

She said to me getting up about to walked away. I grab her arm stopping her.

" You still ain't answer my question."

" This house is big it scares me. I can't sleep in that room by myself. And I'm hungry. "

" You want me to get you some food? "

"Only if you feel like it. "

I stood up going to my room to get a shirt and my slides.

" What you want?"

I asked while walking to the door. Then she came up behind me fully dressed. And I looked at her with a frown on my face.

" Where you going? "

" Uh. With you duh. "

She said as she pushed pasted me and I let out a deep breath.

In the car

Karma had finished eating and now we were on our way back home.

" So your real name is Adonis? "

" Why you wanna know? "

" I mean if you gonna be my baby daddy I at least wanna know your name. "

" I only let family and Friends call me Adonis. "

" What about baby mothers? "

I sided eyed her and kept driving. I wasn't much of a talker and she was working my nerves with all these questions.
