Unexpected Pass

by A. Blossom

He was the definition of “low-cut Caesars with deep waves.”

“I know a fellow introvert whose social battery is running out when I see one,” he said,

He was staring at me with nothing but sincerity in his eyes. “Let me give you a ride home. You’re safe with me.”

“You were never stranded, gorgeous, but your mom’s taste in men is questionable.”

“Just a fellow introvert looking out for another.

The wheels in my head were already turning on how I could make sure this woman never left my sight.

“Just an introvert looking out for another.” She smirked,

“We’ll both be experiencing something new then. You’ve never been pregnant before, and I’ve never dated anyone pregnant. We can figure this shit out at the same damn time.”

“The unexpected things are sometimes the best things that happened to us.”

“I know what I want, Phileigh, and I intend to apply the necessary pressure to get it. I want to get to know you, Phileigh Cheese, baby or not. Can you allow me the rest of the week to do so?

There was always more with Charlie Barnes. Ma didn’t have a man, so she always poked her nose in my business.

“You ran,” he said, sitting up a little. “And I know how to pick locks.”

You left my house without saying goodbye. You had to know I was coming after you.”

“As far as I’m concerned, this is my baby now. I don’t care who helped you conceive it. God put y’all in my presence for a reason, and I’m not about to fumble this.”

“We can go as slow as you want to go. I’m down. I already know how this love story ends.”

“Don’t you even think about depriving little Phileigh Cheese so you can watch

your figure. Give her what she wants, and I’ll work those extra pounds off you later, da fuck?”

“It’s strict over here.” “You damn right.” Kellon laughed

I would rather my son be with a woman who is not involved in such a mess, but I’m practicing this thing where I mind the business that pays me.”
