Unexpected Pass

by A. Blossom

“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.”

“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?

“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.”

“Naw, male best friends can eat they female friends pussy. It’s called being a considerate friend.”

“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?”

“Your baby being Reggie’s doesn’t change how I see you. You’re still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on with the sweetest pussy I’ve tasted and the softest aura around you.”

“Yeah, it is. You’re not calling to warn me. You calling ’cause you salty I’m standing next to a woman you fumbled. One you had no business with in the first place, knowing you had Nat. And while we’re at it, check your fiancée. She watching Phee’s every move like a fan. Y’all obsessed over there?”

“Naw, nigga, don’t come at my girl like that. Control your situation and leave mine alone. We’re good over here. Phileigh good. Your baby good. A real nigga stepped up. Don’t call my phone again, nigga. And don’t make any more pop-up visits to see her either.”

Everything I never knew I needed came wrapped in faith, fate, and an unexpected pass I was lucky to have caught.
