“Mama, I have to use the bathroom. I can’t hold it no more,” the little boy whined, right as the phone started ringing.

“Give me a second baby. These phone just won’t quit ringing,” she replied as she answered the call.

As soon as she was done with one call, the phone started lighting up again.

“I can take him for you, if you don’t mind,” Faryn offered.

“No, I don’t mind. Thank you so much,” the lady replied.

“Come on baby. Let me bring you to the bathroom,” Faryn said as she grabbed his hand and let him to the back of the shop.

She took him into the women’s bathroom and helped him undo his belt buckle and pants. He went into the stall alone, and Faryn fixed his clothes once he was done. She picked him up and helped him wash and dry his before they exited.

“I want something out of there,” he said as he pointed to the vending machine.

“Okay, point to what you want,” Faryn said as she lifted him so that he could see.

“That,” he said as he pointed to a bag of cookies.

Faryn put him down and took some money out of her purse to buy it. Once he had his snack, she grabbed his hand and led him back to the front. She wanted to turn right back around when she saw Kane standing there talking to the receptionist.

“Thank you so much. Come on Kane, your daddy is here to get you,” the lady said, shocking Faryn with her revelation.

According to what she knew, Kane only had his daughter with Ava. Faryn knew that him and his wife were getting a divorce and his outside child was probably one of the reasons. Now that she really looked at him, the little boy favored Kane a lot. It had to be a slap in Ava’s face that he was named after him as well.

“The fuck is my son doing with this hoe, Shantel?” he spat while pointing at Faryn.

“Excuse you?” Shantel said while looking at him like he was crazy. She wasn’t aware of Kane and Faryn’s history and she just thought that he was being rude.

“Don’t worry about him girl. He’s just mad because his son probably has a bigger dick than he does,” Faryn said, making Shantel snicker.

She couldn’t even dispute the other woman’s claim because that was so true. Kane didn’t have the biggest piece, but he knew how to use the little that he had.

“You’re talking all that shit, but you kept my shit in your mouth,” Kane said, loud enough for the entire shop to hear.

Harley had just finished getting her hair curled when she, April, and some of the barbers looked up front to see what was going on. She wasted no time going to stand next to her friend when she saw that she was arguing with Kane. Harley remembered him from Faryn’s wedding. Landon beat him down to the ground and he was still trying to come for his wife.

“That lil shit wasn’t much to suck on. I’ve had bigger lollipops,” Faryn said, as the entire shop erupted in laughter.

She didn’t know that people were watching, and she was instantly embarrassed when she saw that a crowd had formed. Kane felt played as he walked over to her in a fit of rage.

“Bitch,” he spat as he grabbed Faryn by her shirt.

Faryn and Harley were ready to swing on him, but they didn’t have a chance to. The men in the shop quickly sprang into action and immediately pushed Kane back.

“Nigga, you must not be from around here. You better get the fuck on before your people be reporting you missing,” Jimmy, Roman and Chad’s barber, bellowed.

“Give me his shit and let me get the fuck up out of here!” Kane yelled as he walked back over to Shantel.

“I don’t want to go,” her son said as he held on tight to her arm.

“Let’s go boy!” Kane barked, making his son jump in fear.

“Oh, hell no, nigga. You ain’t taking my baby nowhere with that attitude,” Shantel said as she held her crying son.

“Fuck you too then, bitch. And don’t call my people begging for nothing else. Take care of that lil nigga on your own,” Kane spat as he stormed out of the building.

“I’m sorry everybody. That’s my son’s sperm donor because he’s damn sure not a father,’ Shantel apologized.
