I pulled into the Next Levels parking lot, I parked right next to Dontae’s car. I knew the club wasn’t open yet, so this would be the best time to talk to him. Once David realized where we were he immediately got excited. He loved Dontae, and since our break, he hadn’t seen him.

“Auntie, are we going to see uncle Dontae?”

“Yes, but only for a little while.”

He grabbed his McDonald’s toy and tried to get out of his car seat.

“Don’t be so anxious. Let me help you.” I turned off the car and reached in the backseat to help him. I smiled as I thought about all the times I brought him here. Dontae was so good with him. I just knew he would make a good father one day. I sighed as I brought myself back to reality.

I pulled on the backdoor of the club and found it locked. I knocked on the medal door as hard as I could. I wanted to make sure he heard me. I could tell when Dontae opened the door he was surprised to see us. I was thinking I had made a mistake coming, until I saw the big smile on his face. He reached down and put David in his arms. It felt like old times.

I followed them into the club. They headed straight to the small game room. I sat at a table close by and watched them play. It amazed me how advanced David was. Dontae handed him a stack of ones for the game he was playing. He knew how to play the game and knew how to put the money in the machine.

I watched them play for about ten minutes. Donate and I made eye contact. He mouthed the words give me one minute. He walked over and sat across from me. I asked him to slide his chair over so I could keep an eye on David.

“So how are you?” I asked.

“I’m good and you?”

“I can’t complain,” I stated, ready to eliminate the small talk.

I wanted to know what was going on with Lexi. My heart knew he didn’t hurt her, but someone did, and I needed to know who. Maybe it was Lou. That night I saw them outside the club had me questioning their entire relationship. I glanced over at David. He was still content playing the game. I turned my attention back to Dontae.

“I ran into Lexi today…”

Before I could continue, he interrupted me. “Come on, I know you didn’t come over here to tell me you two got into it again. You both really need to grow up.”

I couldn’t believe it. Here I was being concerned about his so-called girl and he’s telling me I need to grow up! I mean, really, who did he think he was?

I abruptly stood and tried to walk away. He quickly came around the table and positioned his body in front me.

“My bad, don’t get upset. I thought you came here to see me, not talk about Lexi.
