[Michael]

I reread my tweet about 50 times and watch the retweet's and replies go up. This is a big ass thing to put out there. A lot of people replying are assuming that I cheated on Riley. Guess I gotta clear that up too.

"Did you post it?" Riley asks hopping onto the kitchen counter.

"Yeah. People think I cheated on you."

"A baby is in the stomach for 9 months; we haven't been dating that long."

"Exactly," I sigh and sit beside her.

"I still can't believe you got a kid," she says.

"Tell me about it. The little nigga look just like me and everything."

She chuckles, "Mini Michael."

I laugh, "You should come with me to see him today."

"...."

"Rrrrileyyy?"

"..."

"Jaliyah has changed seriously. She's the one who told me not to tell the world she the baby momma."

"Yeah. Ashlyn said she changed too."

"That was different."

"How, Michael? And why are you on her side?"

"One, because there is a baby involved and Two, because she's my baby momma."

"Just because she's your baby momma doesn't mean you have to be on her side."

"Yeah the hell it do if I wanna see my child."

She looks at me, "I think we should take a bre-

"A WHAT!?"

"A BREAK!" She says.

She hops off the counter and I follow her upstairs.

"Break? For what we're fine," I say.

"No we aren't Michael our life is a mess. Call me when you get your situation fixed or whatever."

"It's not gonna get fixed if you leave."

We walk into the room and she looks at me.

"Michael we've tried to fix things together. Maybe we need to fix things individually," she says getting her suit case off the top of the closet.

I grab the suit case, "I'm not letting you leave. I need you right now."

"Need me for what?"

"To keep me happy. And I know you need me to keep you happy too," I get closer to her face. "I know your mad right now. But leaving isn't gonna solve any of this. Please, stay."

We stare into each others eyes and she breaks the silence by kissing me. She begins crying as we continue to kiss. I pick her up and place her on our bed.

The next day...

"You made up your mind yet?" He asks me.

"I don't know Michael. Maybe next time. I don't think I'm...ready yet."

"I understand," he sighs. "I'll FaceTime you," he grabs the keys and kisses me.

"Okay I love you."

"I love you," he says and leaves.

10 minutes later, I get a FaceTime call from him. I answer to see him on a golf cart.

"Why are you on a golf cart?" I ask.

"Steelo is staying down here for a little bit so I stopped by his house," he puts Steelo in the camera and back at him. "He had a golf cart and Jaliyah's house isn't too far."

"Uh- Okay Michael," I say and screenshot.

"Did you screenshot?"

"Maybe," I chuckle.

"I was t even ready," he laughs.

"Too bad."

"I'll see you later baby I love you," he says.

"I love you," I say and we hang up.

I post the screenshot on Instagram.
