Rome groaned as the sun blared through the curtains of the
living room. He shielded his eyes and, through blurry vision,
saw his cousin Jeremy folding his arms in front of him. Rome sat
up and stretched as best he could, sighing.
Jeremy. It's fasho been two days, blood.
Rome. I know, man.
Jeremy. You know I'm cool with you being here. You fam. But, you
gotta call your lady.
Rome. For what? She put me out.
Jeremy. How she put you out the house you pay bills in?
Rome sat back as Jeremy sat by him.
Rome. Rem, man, I'm not gon' fight her. I bust my ass everyday,
I've been faithful to her since we decided to get back together.
I'm on that fuckin' truck from 9AM to sometimes 2AM, the last
thing I want to do is come to the one place I'm supposed to have
some peace and be in chaos over nothing.
Jeremy. What did she say?
Rome. She said she's mad because I don't spend no time with her.
Jeremy sucked his teeth.
Rome. Exactly!
Rome rubbed his face.
Rome. If I was actually out here doing her dirty, she'd be
pissed. I'm working, trying to make moves for us, she still
pissed.
Jeremy. Maybe she going through other shit.
Rome. She know how to open her fuckin' mouth, Rem.
Jeremy. But, I'm saying, man. You know how females are. They say
everything without saying anything at all.
Rome. Rem, I can't win with her, man. It don't matter what I do,
I'm gon' be wrong to Amiya. She's spoiled as shit and if she
ain't getting her way, then everything is wrong.
Rome checked his phone before continuing.
Rome. I'ma just go get my son, man.
Jeremy. Talk to her, blood.
Rome slipped his shoes on and texted Amiya.
Rome. I'm coming to get Josiah and he's gon' spend the day with
me.
He grabbed his keys and left out of Jeremy's house.[/center]

Amiya sat on her couch as she shook her head with her eyes
rolled up at the ceiling. Her leg bounced as she tried to stay
composed while talking to her grandmother.
Angela. Little girl..
Amiya. Gram... I hear you... I hear everything you're saying.
Angela. I don't think you do Amiya... How is anybody supposed to
help you if you stay closed off all the time?
Amiya. You just don't understand....
Angela sighed.
Angela. Look at me...
Amiya closed her eyes and and took a deep breath.. She
eventually opened them so she could fulfill Angela's request and
they made eye contact.
Angela. You are not the first nor the only person to go through
this.. And if you aint learned by now, God has the last say
always... I don't care what them doctors say.. They don't know.
Amiya closed her eyes and took a deep breath as tears fell from
her eyes. She wiped her face quickly and shrugged slightly.
Angela. You are covered by His -points to ceiling- grace and
mercy, and I know because I talk to him daily for you... You and
your brother and your cousins... You don't need to worry about
what they say.. You need to worry about getting your life on
track and getting right with God..
Amiya wiped her face again and looked down at her hands. Before
she could say anything, her phone vibrated on the coffee table,
and her heart dropped seeing Rome's name appear. She read the
message quickly then the preview went away. She sighed as she
picked up her phone to respond as Angela spoke.
Amiya.:. Okay..
Angela. You need to talk to that boy too...
Amiya looked over at Angela and sighed.
Amiya. I know..
Angela. No.. I mean really talk to him. None of that yelling and
fussing.... And none of that defensive stuff you do... -sigh- I
swear you got the worst parts of your mama and daddy when it
come to that attitude of yours... Don't nobody wanna deal with
that... And how you expect him to know what's wrong when you
don't open your mouth?
Amiya looked over at Angela and nodded.
Amiya. Okay Grams... I know you're right.... -sigh- I just....
I'll talk to him alright?.. I'll apologize to him.. I know I
need to and I will..
Before Angela could respond, Josiah made his way from the back
of the house.
Josiah. Mama...
Amiya. Yes son..
Josiah. What you doin in here?
Amiya. Talking to Gamgam... What are you doing in there?
Josiah smiled.
Josiah. Nothin.. I juss playin wit my toys..
Amiya. Oh.. Well your daddy is on his way... I'm sure he'll be
here in a minute..
She smiled as his face lit up and he jumped off the ground
slightly and clapped his hands out of excitement.
Amiya. I'll let you know when he gets here okay?
Josiah nodded and ran back to his room as Angela smirked and
shook her head.
Angela. That little boy there..
Amiya nodded as she thought about the talk she'd have to have
with Rome. She didn't know how he would react, but she knew she
had to clear the air between them.

Rome pulled onto the curb and picked his phone up, texting
Amiya.
Rome.:. I'm outside.
He waited momentarily, and his phone pinged with her response.
Amiya.:. Come in. I'm getting Jo dressed.
Rome sighed hard and gave himself a mental pep talk before
turning his car off and getting out. He cautiously made his way
to the door and knocked. The door opened and he smiled when he
seen Amiya's grandmother, Angela, smiling at him.
Rome. How you, Miss Angela?
Angela. Boy, you better come over here and hug me. Been in
Aventura a whole year and ain't seen me.
Rome. I been busy, you know how it goes.
Angela. Mhm. I'm just about to leave, don't be a stranger, you
hear me?
Rome. Yes ma'am. You should come by the truck one day, I'll hook
you up with some food.
Angela. I'll do just that.
Angela smiled and walked past him. He looked up and saw Amiya
walking from the back of the house.
Amiya. Hi.
Rome. Wassup? Where Jo?
Amiya. Putting his toys up, he trashed his room.
Rome. Of course he did.
They stood across from each other, Rome leaning back on the
front door and fiddling with his phone so that he didn't have to
look at Amiya.
Amiya. How you been?
Rome. I been straight. Remy let me crash with him until I figure
something else out.
Amiya. What you mean?
Rome looked at her.
Amiya. Figure something else out?
Rome. You put me out two days ago, Amiya.
Amiya. Rome--
Rome. Look, before we even get started, I'm not gon' argue with
you about it. Okay? I just came to get Josiah, he can be on the
truck with me today. That's all I need.[/center]

Amiya sighed.
Amiya. Look. I'm not tryna argue with you Rome.. I wasn't even
tryna argue before...
Rome looked at her as if he didn't believe her then took a deep
breath and started looking back at his phone.
Amiya. I know I been tripping lately.. Big trippin.. -sigh- And
I know I tripped out, when I told you to leave.. I didn't mean
it foreal, and I'm sorry..
Rome. Amiya..
Amiya. Let me finish..
Rome. Na.. You be sitting here swearing I'm the problem and I'm
not the one with the problem.. Ion wanna hear it.. I just came
to get Jo.. That's all.
Amiya sighed and he shook his head. She knew he was still pissed
off with her, and she knew there was nothing she could do about
it, so she accepted it. Either way, she still had to say her
peace.
Amiya. Jerome.. I know I was wrong, and I know sorry don't fix
it.. I just need to get this out, and then I promise I will
leave you alone...
They met eyes, and although he still looked displeased, she
couldn't hide the sadness that she'd finally let surface. Jerome
sighed.
Rome. Aint nobody stoppin you from talkin..
He looked back at his phone, and she sighed closing her eyes
then she opened them glancing off to the side and leaning up
against the arm of the couch.
Amiya. Like I said.. I know I been tripping.. And I am sorry..
-sigh- Last Tuesday, I pee'd on a stick and it came back
positive.. I was 10 weeks pregnant..
She could feel him glance at her, but she kept her eyes fixed
off to the side to keep from tearing up.
Amiya. I set an appointment for as soon as I could, but by
Thursday night, I was cramping, and Friday morning I was
bleeding... So I called back and made an emergency appointment
for Friday afternoon.. By then she told me I'd already lost it..
Amiya felt a tear escape from her eye and she wiped it quickly
before closing both of her eyes..
Amiya. She said I had some kind of condition, and I wouldn't be
able to carry another kid to term and I... I just didn't know
how to handle it..
She took a deep breath then wiped her eyes before the tears in
her eyes got heavy enough to travel down her face. She finally
looked at him again and they met eyes, and then he looked back
down at his phone shaking his head.
Amiya. I was gonna tell you that night, but I ended up going to
sleep... Then you left early that next morning and you got home
late too.... So... -sigh- I ended up blowing up, and that was
wrong of me... I really do apologize.. And I don't want you to
have to "figure something else out" or nothing like that..
He continued to looked at her with a blank expression, and she
stood up off the couch and sighed.
Amiya. Let me go check on Jo..

Amiya began to walk off and Rome reached out, grabbing her
wrist. Without a word, he pulled her into him and wrapped his
arms around her shoulders. Slowly, her arms found their way
around his waist and he kissed the top of her head. He was
angry, confused, and sad to hear everything she'd just said to
him. She sniffled as he listened to her cry silently.
Rome. Fuck, man. Why you ain't just tell me this shit, Miya?
Amiya. I don't know.
Rome. You know you ain't gotta go through shit by yourself, man.
Especially not that.
Amiya. You just stayed so busy--
Rome. Fuck that truck, Amiya. You and Josiah come first, and I
shouldn't have to say that shit to you. Y'all the most important
things to me. You gon' be my fuckin wife one day, Amiya, don't
be fighting life by yourself. You hear me?
Amiya's head nodded as Rome continued embracing her. Josiah
walked out and paused, his smile fading to confusion.
Josiah. Daddy, what's wrong with mama?
Rome sighed and squatted down.
Rome. C'mere, lil dude.
Josiah walked to Rome, still glancing at Amiya.
Rome. We're gon' stay at home with mommy today, okay?
Josiah. Okay.
Josiah walked to Amiya and wrapped his arms around her leg in a
hug.[/center]

Amiya sighed and rubbed Josiah's back with one hand while he
held her leg and with her free hand she made sure her face was
dry. She moved to sit on the couch and Josiah climbed in her lap
rubbing her cheeks.
Amiya. I'm okay baby.. Im fine..
She forced a smile for him and he laid his head on her chest.
She rubbed his back and looked at Jerome as he took a seat next
to her.
Amiya. You really don't have to Jerome take the day.. I'll be
alright..
Rome shook his head.
Rome. All this shit was going on with you and I aint even
know... That shit aint coo.... It aint coo at all..
Amiya nodded.
Amiya. I know.. I just wanted a half decent time to tell you..
Amiya looked over at Jerome and she could tell he felt some kind
of way as he shook his head.
Rome. I aint gotta do none of this shit if it means you can't
talk to me Amiya. That truck can go..
Amiya looked at Rome and spoke up..
Amiya. No it can't Jerome.. That was the first thing you told me
about when you got out.. That's your dream..
Rome. But yall my world Amiya...
Amiya. And you're ours.. We just gotta do better with
communicating I guess... -sigh- I dont know. But I don't want
you to give up the truck.. I know how much it means to you.

Rome glanced over at Amiya. After a moment of silence, he leaned
over and kissed her softly, rubbing his thumb on her cheek.
Rome. I got you, aite? I'm not gon give up the truck, but I hear
you. I'm gon' be here more.
Rome leaned down and kissed Josiah's head before looking at
Amiya again.
Rome. We gon' get through this together.
Amiya nodded and Rome stood up, pulling his phone from his
pcoket as he walked outside. He texted Jeremy to call him and,
within the minute, his phone was vibrating.
Jeremy. Yo.
Rome. We squashed it.
Jeremy. Good. You can get ya funky ass off my couch.
Rome. Fuck you, fam.
They chuckled.
Rome. Aye, I got a question.
Jeremy. Bet.
Rome. You still in touch with Cash?
The line got quiet.
Jeremy. He around. If I ain't got his contact, I can get it.
Rome. Do that for me, aite?
Jeremy. Why? What you bout to do?
Rome looked through the window and watched as Amiya kissed
Josiah's head, lying on the couch.
Rome. Some shit I'm probably gon' regret, man...
