His Melanin Addiction

TRINITY CARTER

I laid in Josiah's bed scrolling on my phone with Lindon laying on my chest. I was so uncomfortable but I really didn't want to wake him he looked so peaceful as he slept.

Josiah was at another private practice. Meaning he wasn't here. It was just me and Lindon... this place was like a little apartment for us. Like we are a little family. Lindon started tossing and turning, then his arm flew up and smacked the shit out of me. Suddenly he was not so cute, I pushed him off of me. And got up and went to get something to eat. I looked in the fridge and all I saw was lunchables and bottles of gatorade. I closed the fridge and looked in the cabinets and found five types cereal and they all were open. I rolled my eyes remembering there ain't no milk. There was nothing close to even being a meal in here.

The fact I usually keep Lindon in my dorm, I hadn't noticed Josiah's place was empty. I was about to grab the nacho lunchables when I heard the front door open. I looked over and saw Josiah walk in with a chili's bag and struggling with the drinks. I threw the nachos back in the fridge.

"What's that?" I said looking at only the Chili's bag.

"Hey baby, glad to see you too. No babe I don't need no help I got it." He responded trying to be funny. Which he's not.

"Since you said you got it." I said shrugging as I turned and started walking back towards the kitchen.

"Come one Trinn, I need you." he said sounding like he was trying to convince me or something. I laughed and walked over to him and took one drink from him and placed it on the counter. He looked at me with an annoyed face. I smiled sweetly at him.

He dropped his practice bag and walked from the door to me. He gave me a forehead kiss and I blushed.

"Where my child?" Josiah asked as he looked all around the living area. I squinted my eyes at him.

"Where do you think?" I asked.

"Don't get slick with me or I'm gon' teach yo ass a lesson."

"Teach me." I dared, making him bite his lip at me. It was at that moment I realized something.

"Light work today?" I asked him, making him look at me crazy.

"What are you chattin bout?" he asked trying to speak patois. I wanted to laugh but I was being serious.

"Your private workout."

"My wha-...Oh yeah! Nah it was um..Yeah light work hmm.mmm..Quesadilla?" he said rambling on. I rose an eyebrow and he kept a straight face, avoiding eye contact with me.

"Josiah." I said and he just focused all his attention to the damn chilli's bag. I was about to question him again. But I did not want to deal with him and his lies again. As of lately he's been lying his ass off and I've been entertaining his bullshit because of what he's been going through and because I want to know what it is he wants to tell me... The only thing on my mind is that he's cheating on me.

I just rolled my eyes. And walked to his room and started picking up my backpack. He walked in after me and grabbed my hand.

"Trinn baby." he said and I looked at him.

"Don't leave."
