A Bronx Tale

Twenty.

Ja'lynn

"You like this?" I asked mama holding up a Rolex.

"I think that's too flashy for Black" she said.

"Same thing i was thinking" i agreed.

"Ouuu what about a chain with my name on it?" I asked.

"Yeah get the whole name 'cause your dad had a B and he was telling niggas it stood for Backend Baby" she said.

"Black would say the J for juggin' or jackin'. I hate him" i said.

Mom laughed.

"I think you got enough stuff" she said sitting some bags on the floor.

"He gets me whatever i want all the time, whether we together or not. It's only right i go all out for his birthday" i said.

"You right, talk yo' shit" she said.

"Period" i said.

"Your dad gone be jealous 'cause he want them shorts" she said.

"He gone do the most.. Oh so you can get them for him but not ya daddy" i said.

"That's exactly what he gone say" she laughed.

"Get him some" i said.

"Uh uh, he for the streets. I think he was more faithful when i was dead" she said.

I screamed.

"You do too much" i said.

"No he do too much. He really lied and said he was with Dede and Dede was at the house. Then gone call Dede not knowing i was right there. He still don't know. I'm just waiting on the perfect time to bring it up" she said.

"I don't believe he was cheating" i said.

"Shutup, you gone always take his side" she said.

"Cause that's my dawggggg" i laughed.

She mugged me.

"I hope Black say Ja'lynn is his little sister that died or some" she said.

"Don't say that because he probably will" i said.

"Why you looking like that?" she asked.

"Hold on" i said dropping the bags before going to the bathroom.

Once i stepped in the stall i threw up all over the toilet. Once i was done realization sunk in and my heart dropped. One hot girl might be down.

"Jay?" Mama called out.

"Yes?" I asked.

"You shitted on yourself?" she asked.

"No" i laughed weakly as i walked out.

"Did you? Did you throw up?" she asked.

I nodded.

She gagged before covering her mouth and i rolled my eyes.

"You too old for that" i said.

"Shutup i got a weak stomach" she said as i rinsed my mouth out.

"I have gum" she said handing me some.

"Can we go? I wanna lay down" i said.

She just nodded before we walked out. The whole ride home was silent until we pulled up at Walgreens.

"What are we doing?" I asked.

"Getting pregnancy tests" she said.

"You pregnant?" I asked.
