"Emani, you in here?" Blade walked into our shared bedroom with the biggest grin his face would allow
"I'm here." My face automatically reflecting his smile "Why you smiling for the whole world to see?"
"Whatchu talkin' bout?" He tried to contain himself, but was failing miserably
He walked further into the room, stripping himself from head to toe, leaving only his boxer shorts on his body.
"Sage Carter, what is that on your neck?" I leaned forward to get a better look
Upon closer inspection, I noticed the same tape they put over a tattoo when it's fresh. My mind began to wonder how he even found space on his neck for something else anyway.
"New tattoo, it ain't really nothin'." He shrugged his shoulders "I want some food though, I'm hungry as a mu'fucker."
"I was just about to get up and cook sum for dinner." I put my phone down "What you want? And don't say anything you know Amir not gone eat."
He groaned throwing his head back on a pillow like the big baby he is. He then let out an "Oww." Which one could only assume was related to his freshly tatted neck.
"You are such a baby Sage." I chuckled, turning his head slightly to look at the tape
"Speakin' of babies, when our next appointment is? I'm tryna get them blacked out pictures that everybody be havin', so I can see how much he look like me."
"Oo, I could make Mac and cheese wit fried chicken and some rice." I thought out loud "How that sound, you up for it?"
"Fuck the food, you ain't hear what I just said?" He eye'd me "Call the doctor and set that shit up so I can see my kid Mani."
"That's not how it works, I gotta wait for her to call me and tell me when to come in." I fussed, getting up out the bed "Is that ok with you, or you wanna play doctor some more and tell me what to do?"
I knew I had no right to snap on him like that, but it was a result of my guilty conscience eating me up from the inside.
Every-time he mentioned a baby, it made my heart sink and my stomach fill up with Moths. I knew what I was doing was selfish but I just didn't want to lose him.
I sighed before looking over at him and concluding that he didn't deserve this. I stood still, opening my arms wide, so he would get the message that I wanted him in between them.
He shook his head while looking at me for a second, eventually deciding that he couldn't resist the opportunity to touch me and stood up, pulling me into his embrace.
"You gon' stop talkin' to me crazy, for' I show you what crazy do." He mumbled, his chin rested on-top of my head
"Boy shut up, now come help me fix this food cause I'm not doing it alone while you sit up here acting cute." I pulled away "And tell your bald-head brother the same thing, I got veggies waiting for him to chop."
