She Fell For A Boss(25)

From the day he found out that Jai was pregnant with him, Tron had stepped up. He was at doctor appointments, made sure Jai was good, and was there from the time his son took his first breath and every day since. He was indeed a father, just not able to provide for him financially, which was why Miego handled it. He respected his brother because he could have easily walked away, but he stuck by Jai, and that was everything.

“It's just hard, Miego. I feel like I’m not a man if I can't provide for my son.”

Miego laughed. “Nigga, you ain't a man. You’re seventeen years old, yo. A fucking kid.” He was trying his best to lighten the mood.

“Fuck you, Miego. I got your fucking kid, come try me on it,” Tron said and laughed.

“Look, just keep doing what you're doing, Tron. Shit will work itself out. Until then, I got you.”

“I appreciate that.”

“Shit, I know you do, which is why I got you.”

After Miego ended the call with his brother, he was about to drop his phone in his lap, but he got a text notification and realized it was from Yami. He instantly got happy but tried to contain it. Since he was driving, he decided to call instead of text back.

“Damn, you really testing me, shorty,” Miego said when she answered.

“How’s that?” she asked.

“I texted you at six this morning, what time is it now?” Miego asked.”

Instead of answering, she laughed.

“Oh, that shit is funny to you?” Miego smiled. He was just happy she had reached out.

“No, it's not funny. I’ve been busy.” He could tell from the sound of her voice that she was smiling.

“Busy doing what, shorty?”

“School work.”

“Damn, see, now I can't even be mad and shit. You trying to get your education on. You done, though?”

“Not really, I’m just taking a break.”

Miego liked the fact that Yami was doing something with her life. Especially after dealing with Kia, who was content with living off him for the rest of hers. Her lack of motivation annoyed him. He didn't have a problem taking care of his woman as long as he knew she didn't mind taking care of herself.

“You dressed?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I'm about to come get you so we can chill for a minute.” Miego didn’t really care what her answer was because he had his mind made up that he was going to see her.

“Umm, I don't...”

“Come on, don't start with that shit. You didn't call me back last night and you had me waiting on your ass all damn day today. You owe me.”

She laughed. “I owe you?”

“Hell yeah. Got me wanting to see your little ass, and then you go into hiding. That shit ain't cool, shorty.”

She got quiet as hell, and aside from the light breathing, he could barely tell that she was even still on the line.

“That might not be a good idea. My life is a little complicated.”

Here we go with this shit. “Look, shorty, I like you, and I can tell you feeling me too. You’re trying to hide that shit because you scared of what that nigga might say or do, but fuck him. He might have people scared to make moves, but he don't do shit to me or for me, and that ain't gon’ change. I told you I got you. You want things to be different, then ride with me and I got you. I give you my word on that.”

He could hear her let out a sigh, but then she agreed. “Fine.”

He was happy as hell. Honestly, he thought she was going to shut him down.

“Shoot me your address and I’ll come scoop you up. Is your shorty with you?”

“No, why?” She answered with a little tension in her voice.

“Just checking. I know kids need car seats and shit, so I was gon’ go buy one if she was rolling with us.”

“She’s with my sister. I’m supposed to be having dinner and staying at her house tonight,” she admitted in a more relaxed voice.

“That’s cool. I won't keep you too long unless you want me to. I just need to see you for a minute.”

“A minute?” she teased “I can send you a picture if that's all you need. You don't have to come pick me up for that.”

“Shit, fuck that. I want both. Send that shit and be naked in it, and your address so I can come scoop you up.” He laughed, only half playing. But fuck it, if she was down, then he was damn sure down.

“I swear you are always doing the most. What happened to my filter?”

“That shit was canceled the moment you put sexting on the table, shorty.” He chuckled.

“I did not offer... you know what, never mind. I'm gon’ hang up and send you my address before I change my mind.”

“Change it all you want. I was serious as fuck when I said that I would come looking for you, now play if you want.”
