Almost the one🤏🏾❤️

Be a man

I answered the phone. "Hello," I said happily. "Uh yea u called. I was picking up Braxton from school," she explained to meh. "Ahh it's cool. I was just calling to let you know that I will be stepping up to take care of my son," I said. She didn't seem to fond of the idea instead she asked meh to stay away.

"What u mean stay away Ty'unna?! This is my son we're talking about! Come on Ty'unna I know my rights u can't do this," I said frowned up. "Listen Ja'shari I don't want the trouble, we're happy how we r now. U can visit him but as his uncle,ok," she said firmly.

"I'm coming over send meh the address," I told her. She hesitated at first but she texted meh the address. "Caleb is here so don't come over here starting shit," she said. "Well tell his ass to leave so I can see my son," I said with an attitude. "This is his house as well Ja'shari!! I can't make him leave his house," she said yelling.

"If I come over there & he gets in my face I can't promise not to beat his ass," I said seriously.

She suggested coming over to Derricks place instead but she wasn't coming alone she was going to bring her friend with her. I didn't really care I just had to get back to the house first. I gave her the thumbs up & told her I'd meet them there.

As I was leaving the burger joint Phoenix winked at meh & signaled for meh to call her sometimes. I nodded & smiled. As I walked back to the crib I called Scotty & told him he could meet meh at the curb as well.

By the time I got to the house Derrick had already let Ty'unna & some girl I thought I had recognized in. "Yooo Derrick I thought this was my crib now? U letting people in & shit," I joked. "Nigga please I run this bihh," he joked back.

Braxton ran up to meh as if he knew I was his daddy & gave meh the biggest hug ever. I tossed him in the air bringing him down into another big hug. "Hey son," I said smiling. Braxton stood back & looked at meh like I had did something wrong. "I not your son," he said with a lil attitude.

Ty'unna told him to come back to her as she cleaned Cheetos off his face. "Don't start Ja'shari," she said frowning up at meh. "U gotta tell him the truth one day or I will once he can understand," I said frowning back at her.

"No u won't," she said getting upset. "That's your son," a familiar voice said. It was Keisha. I knew I recognized her. I thought to myself fuck fuck FUCK!!! "I didn't know u had kids & that your name was Ja'shari! I thought it was Jalen," she said changing her face expression.

"First Allen, now Jalen," Ty'unna said laughing & shaking her head. "Boy u ainn gone learn are u?! I had to find out at your daughter funeral what your real name was," she said in a serious tone. "Look I can explain. I was young back in the day. I wasn't even supposed to be in that club! I had to tell u a fake name," I tried to explain to her.

"And she a fucking crackhead!! Of course I wasn't finna tell her shit bout meh!! We just met the other day," I said shrugging my shoulders. " We did a lot more than just meet," Keisha said smiling. Ty'unna shook her head. "Who r u to judge Ty'unna?! U fucking my brother now," I said angrily.

"Let's not do this in front of lil G right here huh," Derrick said holding onto Braxtons head. "I just feel like I should be able to take care of my own son since I'm perfectly able. I have a job a legit job!" I said firmly.

The door bell rings & Scotty comes in acting crazy. He had just popped 2 beans & he was off his shit. That was my boy tho so ian kick him out. I just told him to use some of that energy to play with Braxton. "Ty'unna on a serious note tho I can't holla at u real quick," I said looking at her.

She stood up & walked in the kitchen grabbing my arm. I walked in the kitchen with her. "How you gone do us like that?? How u gone take my son chance to know his father," I questioned her. She just shook her head & threw her hands up. "Ian got time for this Ja'shari just stop. We don't have time for this u can buy him things if u like," she said.

"I mean of course imma buy him things he's my son but imma also get him sometimes like on weekends or sum," I told her. "No weekends uh uh u can get him during the day & take him somewhere but that's it Ja'shari," she said firmly. "Fuck that he's my son Ty'unna," I yelled. I walked back into the living room & picked up Braxton. "Come on lil man let's go! Scotty u coming bro," I said opening the door. Scotty got up & followed meh out the door.
