"Ion know why they put me on the schedule so early" I complained as I recorded myself on snap then posted it. I knew I wasn't supposed to have my phone out at work but fuck this job. Burger King can kiss my ass. I slid my phone beside the register hearing people walk in and as I looked up, I saw egypt speed walk towards the bathroom with her head down while Tremaine casually walked in holding a baby. I couldn't see the baby's face because he wore a little coat with a hoodie covering his head plus he laid he head asleep on Tremaine's shoulder, but it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to know that was Egypt's and from what I've heard... Christian's baby. But I wasn't gone question Tremaine about it cause every since he got with Ol girl, he started acting like a bitch when somebody mention anything about her or that baby

"Look at you on daddy duties" I told him and he laughed while shaking his head "I heard you did yo shit on the court last night. Tryina be the next Christian Huh?"

Not liking that, he sucked his teeth

"I'm my own person. Fuck that"

"You ain gotta be rude"

"I ain being rude. I'm just saying.. fuck that nigga"

"Mhmmm" I laughed "Whatchu want?"

"Hold on. I'm waiting on my girl"

"Oh, you and egypt still together?"

"Hell yeah. Whatchu think this is?"

"I was just asking.. I rarely see you even though we right down the road from each other"

"We ain got no reason to see each other"

"Act like that now. But where you was last year?"

"That was last year. A whole lot changed so chill" he told me while he rubbed the baby's back

"Obviously. Look at whatchu holding. Boy walkin round with a whole baby"

"You just mad cause it ain yo baby"

"Boy bye. If I really wanted a baby by you, I would've had it" I confidently told him and he knew I was right.

Tremaine can act all innocent with his people and egypt if he wanna but he's far from it. Him and Christian wasn't so close for no reason and now that I found out about this whole babydaddy situation, I see why they ain't anymore. Now I see why Christian used to go so hard for the girl

"You already ordered?" Egypt asked as she walked up to him, turning to see me and stopped a little

"Nah, I was waiting for you"

Egypt looked like she was tryina avoid eye contact with me but I wasn't gone mention her business. Her hoetivities already got her catching enough heat from everybody else. I just wasn't expecting both Christian and Tremaine to play around in the lake of Egypt

She crossed her arms over her chest while they started to talk lowly to each other

"Y'all just let me know when y'all ready" I told them before walking off to the back real quick. Sitting on her phone at the drive thru was Autumn, a girl I became cool with over the few days she started working here part time since she's still in high school. After getting to know her, this bitch is cool as fuck and she messy but I love it

"Bitch yo friend out there" I told her and she peeped her head around to the front before turning up her lip

"That hoe ain my friend. Fuck her and her two baby daddies"

"Oh shit" I started cracking up and autumn shook her head

"Girl then Christian got the nerve to argue with my sister talkin bout I was being messy. Like, NO. That's YALL being messy tryina cover up the fact that that baby ain't his. Got everybody thinking that Tremaine baby knowing damn well that it ain't"

"He probably ain want nobody to know THATS who he ended up having as his babymomma. Ion blame him though. She ain some you wanna brag about"

"Mhhhhh. Well all I know is she better stay quiet wimme like she been doing if she'on want her ass beat. And her lil best friend too"

"You'on like Akira too?"

"Nah, fuck her. That bitch can see me too. Shit"

"Nooo. I love Akira" I laughed and autumn made a face while shaking her head

"You can have that. Fuck that girl"

Christian Dials

1:15 pm

"I really don't feel like cheering tonight" Ari, one of the cheerleaders for the team complained while we walked together through the mall, enjoying our free time out here in Florida before we had to play tonight.

"Why not?"

"Cause" she shrugged "I really just don't feel like it. Plus practice was hell the other day and I still feel the pain from it all over my body"

"You need me to make you feel better?" I asked her with a smirk, throwing my arm across her shoulder and she laughed, shaking her head

"Nah I'm good on that. And you know you need to stop"

"Stop what?"

She puckered out her lips cause she knew I knew what she was talking about. I been tryina fuck with Ari for a while now. Since I met her on campus but she act like she wanna play hard to get

"Ari ion know why you actin like you'on like me"

She turned her head to look at me "I can't lie. You are cute and you are a genuinely nice guy, but Christian we both know you a hoe"

"What?"

"Don't what me. You know it. And even if I MAY like you, I love myself too much more to letchu do me how I see you do all them other girls at school"

"What make you think I'll do you like that though?"

"You ain gave me a reason to not believe that"

"Well you ain giving me a chance to show you so you just gone go off how I treat every other girl?"

Ari rolled her eyes making me laugh

"Forreal Christian" she pushed my arm off her shoulder and stood in front of me causing both of us to stop walking. She wore a pout on her gloss covered lips. Even when she got mad she was still fine as hell. Brownskin, no taller than 5'6. I grabbed her hand but she pulled it away and crossed her arms

"I'm not these other girls and you gone remember that. When you ready to actually be in a REAL relationship then you can come to me"

"Well when you ready to stop acting like you tryina play hard to get then I'll be ready"

"You gone stop playing around with all these girls?"

"Yeah"

She looked at me like she didn't believe me

"You still fuck witcha babymomma?"

"Nah. We wasn't ever together"

"Oh so she was just somebody you was tryina fuck and duck too?"

"Nah.. that one complicated ion like talkin bout it"

"Oh. I'm sorry"

"Nah you good. I just need you to stop playin cause I really do wanna fuck witchu"

"I'll think about it Christian"

I sucked my teeth and she laughed

"Be lucky I said ill think about it"

"Well you better think fast"

"Whatever . Let's go. I wanna splurge all this money I got from my school refund"

"Shit, while we at it I need to get my son some more shit" I told her while I grabbed her hand again and we started walking
