Free Fitness 4Play: One Night Stand (Novel 1) by Marcus Woods Page B

said "Damn!" We probe
through the pictures in hopes of it being someone else's baby to no
avail. In some of her captions, she mentions the child was her
"Little Antwan." In some of her past statuses, she refers to
herself as "a single parent." All I could do is stare at the laptop
screen. Life sucks at this moment.
    "Wow. Seems like Keisha was telling the
truth," I mutter.
    "Yeah, it seems like she is but guess what?
Greg asks.
    "What?"
    "That does not mean the child is yours."
    "True. I just don't know G. I wish I wouldn't
have mess with this girl at all. But if Antwan is mine, I don't
want to be a deadbeat dad."
    I examine pictures of the baby to determine
if we share any resemblance. To me, most babies don't favor their
parents until they get a few years older. Since Antwan is less than
a year old, I can't say if he does or doesn't favor me.
    "Hmm. I don't know G. I can't tell if the
child looks like me."
    "Well look. You can't do anything today since
it's the weekend. But soon, you should schedule to get a paternity
test. You don't want this situation to linger too long."
    "Yeah, you are right. I can't sweep this
under the rug. I will get the paternity test soon. I just hate I
got to contact Keisha to do all of that."
    "I know. But that's life Dab. Sometimes we
have do things we don't want to do in order to be in the place we
want to be."
    "True. Well thanks for coming over and
helping me figure out my next move."
    "No problem." One more question before I
go."
    "Sure."
    He chuckles before asking, "How in the hell
you didn't know that wasn't Lucy on top of your face?"
    "Mane, I'm still asking myself that too.
Keisha and Lucy isn't too far from weight and height. Again, I was
blindfolded. All I know was some pussy was in my face. I assume it
was my woman's." We both laugh.
    "Only shit like this happens to you Dab."
    I shook my head. We stand and exchange
friendly hugs. Greg exits my house.
    I lay on my white sofa and recollect the
advice Greg gave me. He is right. The only way I'm going to get
Keisha out of my life is to prove Antwan isn't mine. I turn on the
TV in hopes of finding a good comedy movie. My phone rings. Lucy is
calling me again. This is her fourth time calling today. After
talking with Greg, I feel well enough to talk. I answer the
phone.
    "Hey babe," I respond.
    "Hey stranger. I've been trying to reach you
all day. Is everything alright?" asks Lucy. I hear the concern in
her voice. If she only knew. Now isn't the right time to
confess.
    "I'm good. Just been catching up on some
rest. What's up?"
    "Ok. I'm glad to hear you're alright. Anyway,
I miss you and would like to come see you."
    Aw baby. I miss you too. Actually, I got the
perfect idea for a date."
    "What's that?"
    "Well that's for me to know and you to find
out."
    "Devin. You know I hate surprises."
    I know but you will love this surprise. Just
meet me downtown by the river at 6pm."
    "Ok. Is there anything particular you want me
to bring?"
    "Just three things: You, yourself and Lucy."
Lucy giggles.
    "Boy, you're crazy. Well I will definitely
see you then."
    "Alright babe. I love you.
    Aw. You said I love you first. I always say
it first."
    "I know. Got to switch it up from time to
time." She laughs.
    "Alright crazy. Well I love you too. Bye."
She blew a kiss in the phone.
    "Ok. See you at 6pm." I blew a kiss back in
the phone before hanging up.
    I refuse to let Keisha's baby allegations
affect my relationship with Lucy. This evening, I am getting back
to romantic times with my woman.

Chapter 14
Picnic on the River
    (Rick James & Teena Marie
"Fire and Desire" playing in the background)
    "Aw baby. So this was your plan? A picnic on
the river, that's so sweet," Lucy said excitedly.
    I made sure to get there before 6pm so I
could surprise her with the picnic near the Mississippi River. A
blue and gray Memphis Tigers blanket lays over the grass with a
wooden picnic basket in the center. The basket contains an
assortment of fruits, vegetables, and small
