Erika came marching through the door with nostrils flaring and everything.

"I can't believe this shit!"

I got up from the couch and followed her to the kitchen table.

"What happened?"

"He doesn't think the baby is his."

I looked away scratching my head.

"What?" she asked. "You don't think its his either. Do you?"

"Now wait. Hold up. I never said that."

"But yo reaction did."

I did feel kind of bad but she has been sleeping around a lot lately.

"I'm sorry Erika but you have been sleeping around lately."

She looked at her hands then back up at me.

"No Alexia. This baby is his."

"But how do you know!"

"Because Alexia! He was my first." 

I was shocked. I couldn't. I didn't believe her.

"How is that even possible?" I asked. "All those nights you've brought some niggas over here. These walls are thin."  

She chuckled.

"It was oral sex with all those other niggas. But Tyler made me feel special. He made it seem like it was me and only me. I should have known better."

I shook my head.

"Yea. I know that feeling. That nigga ain't shit. Trust me. I should know."

"Alexia. I really can't explain how sorry I am."

I grabbed her hand and looked her in the face.

"I know Erika. I can't even be mad because he pulled that same shit on me." She nodded and smiled.

"Okay. I'm bout to head out and go handle something." I said getting up from the chair.

"Alright."

"Is this the one?" Shay asked pointing to the house.

"Yea this is where that bitch nigga stay."

She stopped in front the house and I got out the car.

"If you need me I'll be waiting out here."

"Alright girl." And I closed the car door.

I walked up to the front door and knocked on it. There was no answer so I knocked on it again. Finally some stank ole bitch came to the door.

"Can I help you?"

She was alright looking. But she wasn't all that. She was skinny, about my skin color, and had her hair in a sloppy bun. She wasn't wearing anything but a pair of panties and what looked like one of his shirts.

"Uh. Yeah. Is Tyler here?"

" And who are you?" she asked snapping her neck at me.

"I don't have time for this bullshit."  

I pushed passed her and let myself in. I ran upstairs to his bedroom and I busted through the door.

"You can't knock?" he said sitting up from his bed.
