Official Girl 2 Page 4

  “You said you heard girly voices?”

  “Yes, they were girls.”

  I looked over and Mykell and he had a confused look on his face. One of his bitches got mad at him and took my son.

  “How did you get away?” I asked.

  “I was in the room playing. I jumped off the bed and hit the floor. When I woke up I was in the hospital and that’s when you and Kamil came and got me.”

  “Okay baby, that’s good enough. Turn the TV on and finish your game.”

  “Let me holla at you in the kitchen,” Mykell said.

  “Now you know you gotta help me off the couch.” He laughed at me and helped me up.

  We went to the kitchen and he spoke first. “I don’t know who could have did that, you were the first female I messed with when I got out so this shit has me stuck.”

  “Maybe it’s an ex-lover or something,” I shrugged.

  “Nah, I doubt that.”

  There was a knock at the door. “I’ll get it, unless you mind,” I said

  “Man go on with that shit and get the door.” He waved me off.

  I waddled my pregnant ass to the door and opened it. Here we go. I said letting Lisa in. She looked at me up and down, like she had a problem. “Where’s Mykell?” she asked with an attitude.

  “Handling business, why are you here?” MJ asked before I could respond. That little boy was a hot ass mess. He’d been hanging around me too much.

  She sucked her teeth. “Mykell! Something’s at the door to see you.” I smirked.

  “Did you just call me a something?”

  “Obviously you heard me.”

  “What are you doing here?” Mykell came saving that bitch from a beat down.

  I walked over to the couch and sat down staring at the two.

  “You didn’t answer my calls, so I decided to see what was up, and now I know.” She looked over at me.

  “You got something you need to get off yo chest?” I was getting tired of that bitch and her attitude.

  “Not at all, you just stay over there like a good baby mama.”

  “And you stay over there and try not to get yo ass whooped like a sorry ass jump off,” I retorted.

  “Alright, enough of that bullshit. Neicey you stay over there. You not beating nobody’s ass while you’re pregnant with my son.”

  “Oh,” I snapped my fingers. “I forgot to tell you I picked out a name. His name is going to be Romell Zyin Jones.”

  “Where you pick that middle name from?” he asked with a big smile on his face.

  “Big head right here,” I said mushing MJ’s head.

  He laughed.

  “I like that.”

  “Excuse me, but I am still standing here. Could you give us a moment of privacy please? Don’t you have a man to go home to?”

  “Yeah, but I’m here chilling with yours. And if you want to talk, you can take yo ass outside, that’s where the trash belongs anyways.”

  “Good one Mommy,” MJ laughed.

  “Hush up Mykell Jr. and play yo game.”

  “I don’t want to catch a case for hitting a pregnant woman.”

  “I’m not gonna be pregnant forever bitch. Holla at me in two more months.”

  “Cut that shit out! Now what do you want Lisa?” Mykell yelled.

  “I just wanted to know why you were ignoring me.”

  “I’m not ignoring you, Lisa. I’ve just been busy handling family business.”

  “Oh yeah,” she gave me another dirty look. Let me get outta here before I fuck this bitch up. “MJ come help your mom off the couch.”

  “Okay! Dad can I stay with Mom and Kamil tonight?”

  “You know you have school tomorrow, and you ain’t even looked at your homework since you got home,” Mykell said busting him out.

  “Mykell Jr. you better get yo lil butt up them stairs and do that homework before I act a fool,” I fussed.

  “Snitch,” he looked at his dad then ran up the stairs laughing.

  “Alright Mykell number one, I’m outta here. Call me and let me know if number two did his homework.”

  “Aight, I’ll call you.”

  “You do that.”

  Kamil

  I was really trying to be nice about that little situation with Reneice and that nigga. I understood that was the father of her child and everything but I didn’t trust him. I knew she didn’t have feelings for him anymore, but something told me he didn’t feel the same way. I could tell that by the way he looked at her. He did little stuff to let me know he wasn’t going anywhere. That was some bitch shit. But it wouldn’t be long before she was popping out my baby.

  I had been so wrapped up in her ass that I had been neglecting my work. If Neicey really knew what I did she probably wouldn’t agree, but I knew she wouldn’t judge me either. It just wasn’t time for me to tell her yet.

  I was sitting there waiting for her to bring her lil pregnant ass home. She told me she had to talk with MJ and Mykell about his disappearance. I respected that fact that she let a nigga know when she going to see him and wasn’t sneaky about it.

  I was lying in the bed watching TV when I heard the front door close. My lil shorty is home. I smiled thinking to myself how being patient really paid off. I finally got my girl and she wasn’t going anywhere. “What you smiling about?” she asked walking over to me giving me a kiss on the lips.

  “You,” I smacked her ass.

  “Oh yeah? What about me?”

  “You just want me to gas yo head up, nosey,” I chuckled.

  “Duh,” she said getting undressed and throwing on one of my t-shirts.

  She laid on the bed and started rubbing her round belly. “Two more months lil man and Mommy can finally meet you! I hope you hurry up because all this heartburn you’ve been giving me ain’t gonna cut it, Romell.”

  That was the first time I’d heard her say his name, I kinda liked it, I guess.

  “Romell huh?”

  “Yup, Romell Zyin. MJ helped me pick it out.”

  I was about to say something but her phone rang. “I’ll get it,” I said knowing she wasn’t tryna get out of the bed. “Thanks babe,” she replied with a smile.

  “Hello.”

  “Where Neicey?”

  I was thrown off by the male voice because I didn’t look at the name before I answered.

  “Who this?”

  “Can I just talk to Reneice, damn.”

  I laughed knowing exactly who it was. “Baby, yo past is on the phone.” I handed her the phone.

  “Talk to me,” she said into the phone.

  “Uhn hunh.”

  “Yeah, alright. Give him a kiss and tell him I love him and I’ll do the same to Romell.”

  “Kay, bye.”

  I took the phone and put it on the charger. “I’ma end up fucking yo baby daddy up!” I plopped down on the bed.

  “Oh hush, he was just calling to let me know MJ finished his homework.”

  “Mhm.”

  “Romell, your daddy says he loves you and if I could kiss my belly I would.” She laughed.

  “Romell Zyin, I like that. Who’s last name he taking?”

  “Mykell’s,” she sighed.

  “Oh, I guess.”

  I’ll be happy when she has this baby so I can get some pussy.

  Mykell

  I got a call around 7:00 in the morning from Kya, saying her water broke and she wanted me to come to the hospital. I wasn’t going to go, but what if that was my child and I wasn’t there for the birth. By time I got to the hospital, she had already had the baby. Damn, she had a beautiful baby girl and she named her Destiny. She had a head full of hair. I pulled one of the nurses to the side and told them that I wanted a DNA test done. They took me to a room and swabbed my mouth. Then I went back to the room with Kya. I held Destiny in my arms but I didn’t feel that connection. She didn’t look anything like me. I didn’t even see any of my features on her.

  I left out of the hospital not really
wanting to be around Kya. She was asleep the whole time, which was great for me. I went to do what needed to be done.

  I decided to pick MJ up from school early. He and I hadn’t really been spending time together so I wanted to kick it with my lil man before his brother got there. “Hey Dad.”

  “Wassup, big head. You wanna kick it with me today?”

  “Yeah, but don’t tell Mommy, you know we would be in trouble,” he said seriously.

  I laughed at him. “Little man don’t worry, I can handle your mom.”

  He got quiet for a minute and I knew something was up.

  “What’s on yo mind?”

  “I don’t like you and Mommy not being together. I like Kamil and all, but sometimes he does weird stuff. Besides I don’t like Lisa, she’s not mommy material and she’s jealous of Mommy.”

  My son was too smart for his age. “What do you mean Kamil does weird stuff?”

  “When I go over sometimes, he leaves in the middle of the night and you know Mommy sleeps like a bear. Or sometimes in the middle of the night, he would walk around whispering on the phone.”

  What the fuck, I need to put Neicey up on game. Nahh she probably won’t believe me. I thought as I drove. I knew I didn’t like that nigga. I needed to get some info on that nigga.

  “You ready to meet yo lil brother?”

  “Yes, I hope he looks like me.”

  “You mean like me?”

  “No Dad, I look better so I hope me looks like me.”

  I laughed at my little man, “Hate to break that lil heart of yours, but you look just like me.”

  “Don’t insult me Dad.”

  “What?” I mushed his head and he gigged. I loved that lil boy with all my heart.

  * * *

  After spending time with my son, I decided to call Neicey.

  “Talk to me!”

  “I need to pick yo brain about something.”

  “Cool and I need to pick yo pockets. I was just about to go do some more baby shopping, wanna come?”

  “Yeah, I need to see what you tryna make my son wear and see if I approve.”

  “Boy whatever, I’ve got good taste.”

  “I know because you picked me,” I boasted.

  She laughed like I told a joke or something. “Whatever, I’m on my way so you and yo lil mini-me be ready.”

  “Aight,” I shook my head at that girl. “Yo MJ!”

  “Yes.”

  “Ya mom on her way so we can do some shopping for the baby.”

  “Yayyy!”

  Twenty minutes later Neicey pulled up. “Hey handsome.”

  “Hey sexy.”

  “I was talking to MJ, but hey to you too.”

  “Oh, okay, remember that.”

  “Just playing.”

  “Mommy, I saw some really cute baby boat shoes I want to get baby Mell,” MJ interrupted.

  “Alright, baby boy, let’s shop till we drop!”

  “Oh boy, what did I get myself into?” I asked with a laugh.

  “You know I’m exactly eight months today. One more month and prince number two will be here.”

  “I wanna be there when you have him,” MJ said excitedly.

  “Of course, baby.”

  We pulled up at the Fairlane Mall and Neicey was too ready to do some shopping.

  “Ohh look, it has a hat to go with it,” she said holding up an outfit.

  “Aw hell naw! My son will not be wearing that.”

  “Why not? It’s cute.” She pouted.

  “Uhh no, put that back where you found it.”

  She rolled her eyes. “Fine.”

  We shopped for three hours. We finally took a break to get something to eat. “So when are you going to give me my black card back?” I asked knowing damn well I didn’t care that she still had it.

  “When you ask for it back.”

  “Yeah right.”

  “Naw, but fo real, I wanted to talk to you about some information that MJ shared with me. I’m not coming to you on no hating bullshit either.”

  “Okay, speak yo mind.”

  MJ and I shared our concerns with her and she just sat there looking stone-faced.

  “Mommy are you mad at me?”

  “No baby, you did exactly what you were supposed to do. Thank you,” she kissed him on the cheek.

  She then leaned over and did the same to me. I smiled on the inside; it had been awhile since I felt her lips. “Mommy when are you and Daddy getting back together?” MJ asked.

  She shifted in her seat as if she was uncomfortable. “Umm I don’t know baby. Mommy and Daddy have some serious issues that we need to work out before we can even think about getting back together.”

  I felt happy on the inside because she didn’t say that we were never going to get back together. That right there just let me know that she still had feelings for me.

  Chapter 3

  Reneice

  I was sleeping well. Until I was woken up out of my sleep by pain. I tried to move but the pain was too unbearable. I felt something wet between my legs, no it can’t be. I looked to the other side of the bed and noticed Kamil was gone. My mind wandered to what Mykell and MJ told me.

  I reached for my phone and called Mykell.

  “Hello?” He sounded groggy.

  Another contraction hit me and I yelled into the phone, “AHHH!”

  “What’s wrong? Neicey? Talk to me? You alright?” he asked never missing a beat.

  “My water broke and I’m having contractions,” I said breathing hard.

  “Oh shit! You want me to meet you at the hospital?”

  “No, I need you to take me. AHHH,” I yelled again. “Kamil isn’t here.”

  “I’m on my way.”

  Ten minutes later Mykell and MJ walked through the door. I guessed MJ used the key Kamil gave him. Mykell came to the bed to put some clothes on me while MJ grabbed the bags.

  “This shit hurts like hell. Never… the… fuck… again,” I said through gritted teeth.

  Mykell laughed at me. “C’mon fat mama.”

  I swore Mykell did 100 all the way to the hospital. They immediately took me to a room. I was in labor for 12 hours before I could start to push. Mykell called everybody in the family. Mykell was the only allowed back in the room with me. “Okay Reneice, we need you to do one big push.”

  “UGHHHHH! Hurry up and get this boy out of me!” I knew Mykell’s hand had to be hurting because I was squeezing the shit out of it. “Okay we see the head, one more big push and he’ll come out.”

  I pushed with all my might until I heard my baby crying. I was crying right along with him, tears of pain and joy. “Okay, Dad, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?”

  “Hell yeah!”

  “Okay Reneice we need you to push one more time so we can get the afterbirth out of you.” I pushed and all kinds of nasty stuff came out of me.

  I was so tired I was fighting to keep my eyes open. Mykell brought Romell over to me. “Doc what’s wrong with her? She doesn’t look too good.”

  “She’s fine; her body is tired because she just gave birth, so she just needs a little rest.”

  I knew he was scared because of what happened to his mother. “I’m fine,” I gave him a weak but reassuring smile. I looked down at my handsome baby boy in my arms. He had a head full of hair, his father’s chocolate complexion, and light brown eyes, but he had my dimples. He was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I was still a little upset that Kamil wasn’t answering his phone, but Mykell was there and that was all that mattered.

  “I know without a doubt that he’s mine. No DNA test needed.”

  “Are you upset about Kya’s baby?” I asked

  “Hell naw, I knew when she was pregnant with her that she wasn’t mine. It actually feels good.”

  “Aren’t you going to go get the rest of the family?”

  “Oh shit! Yeah, I’ll be back.”

  A few minutes later, my room was filled with the people I
loved, including my brother. We had put the past behind us and gotten back to the way we used to be.

  “Aww he’s almost as cute as me,” MJ said and everybody laughed. “He has my eyes.”

  “Those would be my eyes,” Mykell intervened.

  “Actually, I think those eyes belong to me,” Pop-Pop said setting them both straight.

  “I guess he told y’all,” I laughed.

  “Can I hold my nephew now?” Lani asked

  “Go ahead Auntie Lani,” I said giving her Romell.

  “Then pass him to Uncle Mack,” Micah said.

  “Then his favorite uncle wants to see him,” Ramone joked.

  “Aw, I just love y’all, all of you.”

  “Damn, me included?” Ramone asked with a smirk.

  “Yes, asshole, you included.”

  At that moment Kamil walked in the room with a big teddy bear looking like he hadn’t had a wink of sleep. “Sorry I’m late ma. I had business to take care of at the club and it took longer than I expected.” He leaned over to give me a kiss. I caught some displeased looks from Mykell and Ramone. Mone was still salty with him for pulling a gun out on him. “It’s cool, you’re here now, and that’s all that matters.” My lips were saying one thing but I was feeling the complete opposite.

  He walked over to Lani and looked at Romell. “All that hair explains why you had all that heartburn.”

  “I know. I’m just happy that it’s over.”

  “Oh, Lisa called me when we were in the waiting room. I told her where we were at, and she wants to know if she can see the baby,” Pop-Pop spoke up.

  “Hell naw,” Lani and I said at the same time.

  “What the fuck Pops? You know I got rid of her, so ain’t no need for her to be tryna see my son.”

  I didn’t miss the emphasis he put on the word “my.” Nigga, we know whose son he is. I just shook my head. That bitch had another thing coming if she thought she was going to have her ass around my son. Naw, she had the game fucked up.

  Kya

  9 months later

  I heard that bitch had her baby. The killer part was Mykell didn’t even get a damn DNA test done for her baby. My cousin wasted no time bragging about that shit. Fuck that, I was tired of that bitch living the life I was supposed to be living. They weren’t even together anymore but he was still taking care of her and running after her ass. No worries though, all that shit was about to come to an end. My baby was one years old and he hadn’t done shit for her since she was born. I knew he was mad that he found out she wasn’t his, but what... the... fuck... ever! I had something for that ass.
