I pulled in front of Michelle’s house, and I knew there was gonna be trouble the second I saw her and that son of a bitch Ray standing on her porch, all hugged up like they were on Love Connection. Just the sight of him touching her pissed me off beyond belief. I’d been stopping by to see Michelle and Marcus almost every day for the past two weeks, but this was the first time Ray was there when I showed up.

I’d been trying to get Michelle to dump his ass so that we could get back together, only she wasn’t having it. At least she was acting like she wasn’t having it. There were plenty of times I caught her checking me out or smiling affectionately when I was playing with the baby. The last few times I was over she wouldn’t even let me leave without giving her a hug. I think deep down she wanted us to be a family. And to be honest, I was starting to want that, too. I think she was just keeping Ray around for a while so that I wouldn’t get too sure of myself. I bet if I showed her enough interest, she’d lose that brother in a heartbeat.

The only thing I was concerned about was that she might find out about my engagement to Indigo. I hadn’t even told my mother about that, and I was a little sorry I’d mentioned it to Melanie. Not that she would blow me up on purpose, but you never know when someone’s gonna slip up.

When I stepped out my car, Ray spotted me right away. That bastard had the nerve to smirk at me, then kiss Michelle like she needed CPR and he was trying to resuscitate her. At first I thought Michelle was in on his little game, but by the time they finished slobbing each other down I was standing three feet away and she jumped like hell outta his arms when she saw me.

“Trent! What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t coming by till later.” She was nervous.

“I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by. What’s he doing here?” I pointed at Ray. “I don’t want this nigga around my son, Michelle.”

“Trent, why you tripping?” She cut her eyes at me.

“Yeah, Trent, why you tripping?” Ray smirked again. “I’m just here to see my girl.” He reached out and pulled Michelle closer to him, looking way too self-satisfied. I wanted to slap that smirk right off his face, but Ray was kinda nice with his hands and I didn’t wanna write a check my ass couldn’t cash. I wasn’t scared of him but I damn sure wasn’t gonna start nothing physical. I’m a lover, not a fighter.

“Your girl?” I glanced back and forth between the two of them. I was hoping Michelle wouldn’t embarrass me.

He bent over and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, my girl. Isn’t that right, boo?”

Michelle smiled at him weakly. It was obvious she was not comfortable with this situation at all.
