Free Something About Milan: A Complicated Love Story by London Dior

pregnant with her while Jabari was at the halfway house before he was fully released. We snuck off and did our thing during the hours that he was released for work. However, I still remembered that one time that Wise and I slipped up without a condom at his house. I never said anything and neither did he. I didn’t want that drama. Now, a part of me wished that all of my kids belonged to him.
    I let out a sigh, leaning in to kiss both of my babies again. “Are you guys okay? Did anybody hurt you?” I asked Jabari Jr., I didn’t want to say the wrong thing about Jabari, because he was too young to understand, but I needed to know if he was okay.
    “No, that girl hit me hard.” 
    I instantly got mad. “What?! Who hit you Jabari?
    “That girl. My daddy left me.” He poked his lips out and I caught Wise’s eyes through the rearview mirror. I think that we were on the same page. I was going to fuck whoever that girl that Jabari Jr. was talking about up, right after Wise handled Jabari. I wanted his crazy ass to die!
    “Ok, mommy will take care of it. Did she hit your sister too?” I asked him, staring into his little eyes. He shook his head no, and I just sat back seething. I think that I wanted to be in the room with Wise when he ended Jabari’s life.
    We pulled up to my mother’s house and grabbed Melanie. Then we went back to Wise’s house, opting to leave his car parked in front of my place until the morning. We had gone through enough shit for one night, and I didn’t feel like driving.
    Once we were inside, and the kids were settled, Wise pulled me into his room and hugged me tightly. He smelled so good, and it felt amazing to be wrapped up in his love. I can’t believe that I fooled myself for eight years into believing that he was bad for me, when really he was my soul mate.
    Wise kissed my forehead. “You ready to be my lil’ gangster?” He asked, staring into my eyes.
    I chuckled, “You’re little gangster?”
    “Yeah, you got me on some thug life shit. I thought I put the bullshit into retirement.” He laughed too.
    My smile erased. “I’m sorry, Wise. I didn’t mean to involve you in all of this. Jabari just got crazy out of nowhere.” I honestly did feel bad that Wise was in the middle of everything.
    “It’s okay, I already knew that he wasn’t gone let yo’ fine ass go without a fight. It’s my fault. If I wasn’t a little asshole back in the day, you would have never gotten with him. I hope you know I’m not that nigga from back in the day no more. I got you if you allow me to.” Wise preached to me and didn’t even have to. I believed him, and I wasn’t going nowhere. I had finally came to the conclusion that I needed him.
    “I know and you’re stuck with me too.” I leaned in and kissed his soft lips. Our kiss lingered until he broke away.
    “That ain’t a problem. But let me ask you something… I was looking at Kayla and Melanie, they look a lot alike. I know you both of their momma or whatever, but I need to know…”
    “Need to know what?” I asked pretending to be clueless. I knew exactly what he was asking because I was just wondering the same thing.
    “You know what I’m talking about. You got another nigga playing daddy to my kid?” Wise asked, staring at me with those coal black eyes. 
    “We only slipped up that one time, Wise. I don’t know.” I played it cool. As I thought about it, I hoped like hell that Kayla was his baby. 
    “So, you trying to say that the thought never crossed your mind? Kayla lookin’ a lot like Melanie right now.”
    “Of course I’ve thought about it, but I honestly thought that she belonged to Jabari.” I said in my own defense.
    “Whatever Milan, that’s fucked up that you got my baby thinking another nigga is her daddy. I bet you two pumps and a swirl that she all me.” Wise smirked, brushing his hard rod against my thigh.
    I giggled. “With yo’ freaky ass. You better stop because the kids are up.” I pushed
