Michael P.O.V

"What you want to eat little man?" I asked.

"Sausage and Grits." King cheesed.

I laughed .

"Go ask Ms. Tay." I said

He ran into the kitchen in his little onesie with me behind him. I could see him tapping Tay on the leg as she began to cook some toast.

"Your in luck then cause I'm already cooking." She said.

"King, go pick up them toys you left out in your room." I said .

"Yes sir." He said before running away everywhere.

He always running .

"He's the cutest." Tay cooed.

"Duh. Look at me." I said laughing a little.

She laughed before turning back around to check her grits.

"Tayah , I wanna say thank you." I said.

"I always cook breakfast." She said laughing a little.

"No. For staying with me , even though I got a son. Any other girl would've fled the scene but you stayed right here with me. I know that it's probably hard for you to deal with, but you good at showing it." I said.

She smiled a little.

"Yea, it's hard to think about me not being your 1st but shit happens and you my man, meaning I'm gone stay by your side . No matter what." She said.

"I appreciate that. I love you." I said kissing her cheek.

"I love you too." She smiled before reaching into the fridge for some bacon.

"Bacon too? Girl we getting married." I said laughing.

"Boy hush. You might need to check on King, he kinda quiet." She said.

She was right cause ever since yesterday the little boy ain't hushed. He always talking and always hungry.

I walked down the hallway of my new apartment and went to his room. I found him on my phone talking. When this little boy learn how to use a phone? He only 3.

"Yes mam. I like it here with daddy." He said.

I smiled.

"Here he go." He said passing the phone to me.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Ty. It's Deja." She said.

"Oh, wassup? When King learn how to use a phone tho? He smart as hell for a 3 year old." I said.

"I guess he just picked up some habits from me. I taught him a lot of stuff early." She said.

"Oh, well it's gone pay off in the long run." I said.

"Yea. He being good?" She asked.

"Yea. He keep me and Tay entertained, he funny just like his pops." I said laughing a little.

"She seems very nice. I'm glad that it's her instead of one of them crazy girlfriends trying to keep you away from your son." She said.

"Tayah would never do anything like that. She loves King already." I said.

"Good. Tell King that I love him and that I can't wait to see him tomorrow." She said.

"I gotchu. What time should I drop him off tomorrow?" I asked.

"4:30." She said.

"Aight, see ya then." I said

"Aight." She said before hanging up.

I was glad everything was working out right now.

"Your mama said she love you." I told King.

He nodded before laughing.

"Daddy you so skinny." He said.

"But I'm strong." I said.

"I'm stronger." He said.

"Lemme see them muscles then." I said.

He rolled up his sleeve and flexed his baby fat. I laughed before nodding.

"I see you. I see you." I said.

"Daddy where you meet Ms. Tay. She really pretty." He said.

Little man got taste.

"I met her at school." I said.

"I'm going to that school so I can meet her too. Then we can get married." He said.

"But what about me? I'm already dating her." I said.

"But she like me more. She even cook
me food , and she gave me animal crackers with my orange juice." He boasted.

"But she give me special treatment errnight." I smirked.

"She give you a bubble bath too?" He asked.

"Yea. A bubble bath little man." I said laughing. Silly kids

"I wanna play basketball like you." He said causing me to smile a little.

"Food ready." Tayah said entering the room.

"Go wash your hands and meet us in the kitchen." I told him.

He ran off towards the bathroom before I grabbed the hand sanitizer off the counter and squirted some in my hand. I went to the kitchen seeing me and King's plates already layed out.

"Thanks bae." I said walking up and kissing her cheek.

She sent me a smile before King walked out and sat down at him seat. Tayah said a quick prayer and we dug in. Tayah could actually really cook, she should do it more often, I know she will though now that King gone be around.

"You start school next year boy. You ready?" I asked King as he chewed a piece of sausage.

"Yes sir. I'm ready to get a gurlfriend." He said.

Tayah gasped a little before laughing.

"What you know about having a girlfriend?" I asked.

"My uncle John taught me to be nice to them." He said.

Uncle John? I never knew Deja had a brother. But at the same time I never knew anything about Deja, she was just a quickie that turned into her having my baby.

"Your so pretty Ms. Tay." King said. His little ass think he slick.

"Thanks. Your handsome." She smiled .

"You wanna be my girlfriend?" I asked.

She laughed a little as I watched this scene play out.

"Yes. I would love to be my girlfriend." She said.

"LaTayah.!" I said putting my hand over my heart. "That hurt."

"Sorry but I couldn't resist." She said.

"You want some of my apple juice?" King asked Tayah.

He is something else.

"Tell Ms. Tay bye." I said as I packed Kings clothes.

"Bye? Can she ride with us?" He asked.

I was already having a hard time letting King go and I had only had 2 days with him. I don't know how but I became so attached to him so quick. He got a personality that just draw you in.

"Go ask her if she wants too." I said zipping his small bag up.

He ran away as always as I continued getting his stuff together.

My phone vibrated in my pocket so I picked it up.

"Hello?" I answered seeing the name was Deja.

"Hey, Ty. I was calling to let you know I just got called in to work, so instead of me picking up King, my brother will be." She said.

"Oh okay. That's cool. Same place?" I asked.

"Yea." She replied.

"Aight , bye." I said.

"Bye." She said before hanging up.

King ran inside of the room cheesing hard.

"She said she's coming." He smiled,

"Aight, well c'mon. It's time to rideeee." I said walking towards the door.

"Time to rideeee." He copied me causing me to laugh a little.

I got him buckled down in his seat and then went back inside for Tay.

"Ready?" I asked looking at her. My baby was really pretty.

"Yea." She said beginning to walk

"Give daddy a kiss." I smirked, blocking the doorway.

"'Michael move." She laughed.

"Give me a kiss first." I said.

She laughed before standing on her tippy toes and putting her soft lips on mine. I pulled her closer to deepen the kiss but she stopped and looked around.

"Where's King?" She asked.

"In the car." I said leaning down to suck on her neck.

She detached herself from me and walked out the door. King sat there on my phone talking to god knows who.

Me and Tay both got in before I started the car and backed outta the driveway.

"Who you talking to?" I asked.

"Uncle Chres." He couldn't say Chris name right outta all people. I laughed a little as they continued talking.

"I don't want him to leave." Tay laughed.

"Me either. He so...cool." I said causing her to laugh.

"And he funny as hell." She said. I nodded my head to agree.

Next weekend needs to come faster.

"Uncle John." King said unbuckling his seatbelt and hopping out my car. He ran over to a boy who looked around 23.

I got out to give him all his stuff as the boy mugged me. What the fuck is his problem?

"King go inside." John said putting him down.

"Bye Daddy." He said as I bent down to give him a hug. He ran to Tay's side of the car and kissed her cheek. He then ran inside the house and closed the door.
I smiled a little as I got up.

"I don't know who the fuck you are, but don't come around trying to play daddy now. I've been King's daddy. Not you." He said catching me off guard.

I turned around and faced him.

"That's not my fault. Yo sister never told me about my son. So how in the fuck was I supposed to know?" I asked.

He didn't know how to respond to the question so he just went inside and slammed the door. This nigga crazy.

I got inside the car and shook my head.

"Don't stress that baby." Tayah said leaning over and kissing my lips.

"I'm not. I know what I know." I said before pulling outta the driveway.

"You want some Popeyes or something.?" I asked.

"Yessss." She said.

"Fattie." I said.

"Hush punk." She laughed.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"Wednesday morning Michael Stevenson, and Christopher Brown will be signed to the Golden State Warriors." I said with so much pride in my voice.

Tayah looked over at me and was breathless.

"We'll be the youngest in the NBA." I told her . A huge smile spread across her face.

"Wow. That's all I can say." She said. "What about college basketball. Y'all still have 2 more games left."

"Yea, we got one on Tuesday and another on Friday. Meaning the season will be over soon. Then we'll start practicing with our professional team." I said.

I looked over and seen Tayah's eyes getting watery.

"Don't cry baby." I said.

"I'm just...so proud of you." She said wiping her eyes.

"I'm proud of you too. Already bouta graduate college, it's only freshman year." I said.

Tayah might party and shit but she smart as hell. She can manage partying and schoolwork. She took like 4 core classes in one semester and still managed to pass err single one with a A or B. She only got 3 more core classes to take she done with college. I wish I had that kinda brain power.

"We gone be successful in life." I said interning our fingers.

She smiled and nodded.
