"Boogie you good?" Cane asked
I stopped thinking about it, and I looked at him. Omari was done with the tattoo and was wrapping it up
"Yeah." I said looking down, Tank put his hand on my shoulder
"You sure sis?"
"I'm good, I'm good." I said as Cane put his shirt back on
"Ya'll want to go get some food?" Tank asked and Cane nodded
"I'm starving, it's got to be something quick though I got to get ready to go to work in a little bit," I said checking the time on my phone
"Where you want to go?" Cane asked as he walked over and kissed me
"I don't know I don't care." I said and they looked at each other
"Coney." Cane said
"Aw you know me so well."
We went to my favorite coney island in queens. I got a large chili fries and a 5 piece wings
"Damn Boogie you gone eat all of that?" Tank said and I rolled my eyes
"I know your fat ass ain't talkin with yo deluxe nachos, two coney dogs, and side of fries."
"And a diet coke.' Cane added and we laughed as he stale faced us
"I ain't ate since last night." He said
"You a whole lie nigga, you went to get something right after we got to shop." Cane said and I shook my head
"Don't be putting me on blast for Lauren."
"Boy bye remember you practically lived in our refrigerator at our house. Save that for somebody who don't know you're greedy ass." I said and he laughed
We started to eat when a little girl came walking up to our table, she couldn't have been older than two. She pointed to my food
"Eat, eat." She said
"Hi pretty girl, where's your mommy?"
I frowned wondering who would just let their baby roam around like this.
"Cane-" I started but I was cut off
"Tatiana don't run off like that!"
"Eat, eat." She said again looking at her mom. When I saw who it was I frowned. She looked up from her daughter and smirked
"Hey Cane." Teasha said
"I didn't know you were out. What's up Tank?" She said then she looked at me and I rolled my eyes I hated this bitch, she tried her hardest to mess up our relationship or just piss me off period.
"Tea you good?" I heard as if it couldn't get any worse her cousin Rel walked in he and Cane used to be cool but when shit went down between Cane and Teasha he blamed Cane for trying to 'play' his cousin
"I'm good, I was just wondering why Cane didn't call his daughter once he got home?"
"Excuse me?" I said then I looked at Cane
"This is our daughter Tatiana Chanel Tejada."
"Bitch I told you that ain't my fucking kid!"
"Watch yo fucking mouth nigga!" Rel stepped forward and Tank and Cane got up
"You know this is your daughter, don't play with me Cane."
"Naw you playin yourself because you know that ain't my fucking baby! Go talk to the nigga that was your boyfriend."
"I got to go." I got up and walked out I could hear Cane calling me then I heard yelling from Rel.
I felt like I couldn't breathe, the thought of him having a baby with someone else while my son isn't here. I feel like I'm physically in pain. I hailed a cab back to my apartment, I was barely in the door when I started to cry this was too much. I took a deep breath as Cane banged on my door I walked over and opened it and I slapped him in the face
"You got a baby with that bitch?!" I yelled as hit again, I went to swing again but he grabbed my wrist to stop me
"That is not my baby!"
"Just because you say it doesn't make it true! You was fucking her!"
"I wrapped my shit up that's not my fucking baby."
"Did you know about this baby?"
"Lauren-"
"Don't fucking lie to me for once Cane! Did you know?" I said pushing him
"She called me a few weeks after I went inside, I told her it wasn't mine. I told her to go see Ma so we could dead that."
"I can't do this." I said shaking my head he grabbed my arm
"Don't touch me!"
"Lauren I'm sorry."
"You always sorry! I can't believe I actually we could try this again.'
"We can we've been good."
"No, you don't get it. I can't accept that baby if it's yours. I can't, I won't and that's being real. I will always hold some sort of resentment to that innocent little girl because of you and her mama and that's not right..... Oh my God!" I ran my fingers through my hair
"Lauren, stop, stop baby." He said talking my hand I pulled away
"I told you not to touch me."
"I know I've hurt you but no more bullshit. I'm trying to be better, I'm trying to be the man you deserve."
"But you're still lying to me Cane!"
"We ain't talked in two years! Like I said I thought this shit was dead, I forgot about it. I'm so sorry baby but I'll fix it I'm asking you to trust me." He said grabbing my waist
"Look at where trusting you got me." I said looking up at him
"Don't say that I love you Lauren." He said
"No, you need to go. Just leave me alone." I said pushing him off
"Boog."
"Please just leave me alone! Get out!"
"I'm let you cool off then I'll be back. He said as he walked to the door. I slammed it behind him.
I moped around until I had to go in to work. I helped stock the bar and set up the food tables. Dominque let me go right before the doors opened at 7.
I got out of my cab and walked up to my building when I heard someone call my name. I turned to see Michael as if this day can't get any worse.
"Look I'm sorry about what happened to you but you need to leave me alone." I said
"You know it would be a shame if someone reported your friend for a parole violation." He said and I stopped and looked at him
"What are you talking about?" I asked folding my arms and he smirked
"Lorenzo Tejada Jr. street name Cane. He just got out almost two months ago on parole, for a gun charge. I'm sure his PO would love to hear all about the 9mm he's carrying."
"Look if you're mad at me that fine. Leave him out of it."
"I would be he just couldn't seem to stay out of our business. I think I should return the favor." He turned to walk away
"Wait!" I called and he turned to look at me
"What do you want?" I asked and he smirked
"Hmm." He walked over and reached out to touch my cheek but I pushed him off
"Be ready for dinner to tomorrow at 6 dress nice, and I think it would be in every ones best interest to keep this conversation between us."
