CONSIDER JASMINE, CHOOSE MYA

Keyshawn was the all American boy next door. He had good
looks, charm, money and a nice car. His father was the town’s leading obstetrician. His mother was an ex- beauty queen turned  politician- City Mayor.  He dated (if you want to call it that) Jasmine Monty-Clause on and off since middle school. Everybody in town, except yours truly, was convinced that the two wealthiest families (the Monty-Clauses & Newman’s) were going to merge into one gigantic conglomerate.   Of course, I knew better.
K-boy, that’s what I called him, was far from the boy next
door by any means. He was a freakin sap.  Surely,  he played the role as the tough guy on campus, nonetheless, in my bed he was just another love sick puppy. I would do things to him that that prissy Jasmine couldn’t imagine doing. Yes! She had it going on.  She had the looks, parents with money, friends, but wait aminute. She was missing onething.  He was mines, all mines. He
knew that and I knew that.  Even so, he just couldn’t admit it publicly.  
Sure I let him take miss prissy to the prom. Hell, I didn’t care
about that. After the prom, he dropped her off and picked me up. We drove up to Evergreen Park to watch the sun rise. We made mad love over and over again. It was a love making marathon.
After graduation, I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. I was
elated with the good news. I was going to be a mother.  No other station in life is more important, besides becoming a father. I told K-boy the good news. He was excited too, at least at first. Then reality slapped his ass beside the head. He started tripping about
what about his parents and this person and that person. What would they say and what about Jasmine?  I asked him, what about the bitch? I’m the one carrying your child! She aint't! He realized how upset I was and backed down. He and apologized and left.  I let him go. There wasn’t any need to make matters worse.  
We continued to sneak around up until it was  time for me to have our baby. We were blessed with a little girl that I named Mya.  He continued to trip about what everyone else would think. I finally said to him, “You can consider Jasmine all you want, but at the end of the day, you better choose Mya.
Twenty–two years later, here we both stand as proud parents of a  graduate of the University of Alabama.
