Page 53 of Mercedees: Forever An Atkins
“Get the fuck out my house, Ashaun, before I call the police,” she threatened.
I fished my phone from my back pocket and dialed it for her. In my family, we ain’t make empty threats, so if she was as bad as she thought she was, I needed her to follow through with it, ‘cause I wasn’t going no-fuckin’-where.
“Nine-one-one, what’s your emergency?”
“My lady wants me gone from the crib I have keys to, pay bills at, and mail at might I add. Where I’m going dispatch?” I asked. Akira ain’t know it, but I had all her cards removed and replaced with mine from night one. I was taking care of her without her even realizing it.
“Whom am I speaking with?” she countered.
“Ashaun Greek and my lady is Akira Baraz. I’m not leaving, dispatch, so do what you need to do.”
“Is the lady of the home around sir?” she inquired.
I pushed the phone toward her, and she grew nervous once more. “Answer the lady, girl.”
“Y-Yes, I’m around,” Akira finally responded. She was starting to show frustration and I ain’t give not one fuck. She wanted to play these games so let’s play goddamn it.
“Are you hurt or in any danger? Do we need to send a squad car to the home?”
“No, I’m good. I think it was a misunderstanding. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Akira hung up on that lady so fast I just knew they was sending one regardless to make sure she was cool. I ain’t mind though. I promise you I didn’t.
Chuckling, I backed away and took a seat on the sofa. I had her where I wanted her, and she ain’t even realize it. Getting comfortable, I said, “You fuck with the police, noted.”
Just like that, her attitude was back. She stormed toward me ready to tear me a new one, but the truth of the matter was, she threatened me with them, so she was gon’ use them to her advantage. I wasn’t fuckin’ with that.
“I’m not no police ass bitch. I only said it ‘cause you breaking in my shit is fuckin’ crazy. Why can’t yo’ goofy ass leave me the fuck alone? I don’t want you.”
“What that test say beloved?” I asked again.
She dropped her head as she twiddled her thumbs. I knew exactly what that muthafucka said. I ain’t have to see the results. I nutted in that wet pussy for hours on end, I knew.
I joked around a lot of the time ‘cause I had room to do so. However, when it came to the people I loved… I’d wipeout an entire bloodline for them.
“I don’t even know if it’s yours, Ashaun,” she lied.
“Yes, the fuck you do. I been coming in this muthafucka every night since I ran into yo’ ass at that restaurant. Ain’t nobody slid through here not once. Why you playing with me, GP?” Her brows dipped with confusion. That GP threw her off but I ain’t mind explaining it. “I liked when they called you Guava Princess. That shit low key hard,” I said smiling.
Rolling her eyes while she shook her head, she came and took a seat beside me. Her head fell to the back of the couch as she sighed deeply. All I needed her to do was answer with the truth and I’d take it from there.
“One time, we fucked one time, Ashaun. I’m confused on how this shit even happened. I’m not supposed to be pregnant right now or ever for that matter. I didn’t want kids,” she expressed.
“Correction GP, we fucked one night, not one time. We went round for round in The Elevator, left and went for some more. I nutted in that pussy each and every time like I was training for a marathon. Plus, I was doing what I was told. ‘Don’t pull out baby. This shit too good to pass on.’Remember that?” I taunted.
She hauled back and caved my chest in. I let her have that one. She was going through the motions and I ain’t want her to think I wasn’t here for her. To be honest, the baby she was carrying was the real reason I couldn’t leave her alone. That right there formed a different attachment.
“I’m the least bit of selfish so tell me what we doing, Ashaun. This baby wasn’t on my bingo card for the year, and I’m sure it wasn’t on yours, either.”
“You, the baby, having a family… none of it was on a nigga mindset at all. I thought I had time to clown Arion some more for his dumbass decisions, but I guess OG sitting me down, too. Look, I been after you since day one. It’s time for you to lock in, too.”
“I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to stay away from yo’ crazy ass. You were the first thought when those two lines appeared. I been stiff arming the fuck out of you just to end up with your child. This is some crazy ass shit, bro’.”
“Nah, it ain’t. That just mean I left a hell of an impression. We ain’t got to go through the motions like Arion and Clover. Just tell me you want me here for y’all, and I’ll take it from there.”
I ain’t know who told her wrong or hurt her before me. All I knew was I came with promises I could keep. If she said stay, her and my lil’ one was good. I meant that for a lifetime. I didn’t really have a purpose other than being my brother’s keeper, now I had a family to focus on.
“You can stay. I’m woman enough to admit this baby got me emotional as fuck and the most indecisive I’ve ever been. I don’t hate niggas but you, yeah you was on my shit list. And now… now I need you. I mean, I got the means to support this child by myself, but I’m not gon’ deprive them of a father. I’ll never be that woman.”
“If I stay, I’m not leaving, GP. Make sure this what the fuck you want.” I knew how I was coming, so I needed shawty to be firm in her decisions. Now wasn’t the time for all that wishy-washy bullshit.
