I’ll be there.”  
    Romeo laughed aloud.  
    She pulled herself away from his grasp.   “You are a sort of nice guy Romeo, but you just have too many doggish qualities for my taste.   I’ll have to admit, what I remember of our night together was very nice, but as long as you stay the way you are when it comes to women, it won’t happen again.”
    A hopeful smile erupted on his face.   “So you’re saying it can happen though?”
    Krystal rolled her eyes.   “You are totally missing my point.   I don’t want a roll in the sack , I want a relationship.”
    “Oh Lord!”   Romeo took a step back from her.   “Why is it women always have to bring up the ‘R’ word?”
    “Well, I don’t know about other women, but I know for myself, I am ready for a commitment.   I have done the casual relationship thing and I am ready to move on.   I’m ready to settle down.”
    “Well, I’m not there yet.   I’m just trying to have some fun.”
    “I know and that’s your choice and I respect that.”   She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on his cheek.   “Like I said, I am exhausted.   I’ll see you around okay?”  
    Romeo stood quietly as he watched her get in her car and leave.   Just as he sat in his car and started the ignition, his phone rang.   He smirked as he looked at the number that came up on the screen and answered.   “Hey babe, so we on for some action tonight or what?”
     

 
    Chapter 4
     
    Anton laid in his bed thinking about the prospect of even attempting to be a dad.   Over the past 7 months, he had thought about it almost daily and now that Dazzy’s due date was approaching, it was on his mind constantly.   Yes, he knew all the basic things a dad was supposed to do, but had never really experienced having a “dad”.  
    He had never known his dad and at this point, he really didn’t want to.   He knew that he lives somewhere in Chicago now, but he hadn’t really tried to look for him.   His mom would always try to speak highly of him because she believed that no matter what, he was still his father.   In many ways, Anton blamed his dad for the death of his mom.   He felt that if his dad had been a man and stood up for his family like he was supposed to do, his mom would have been able to get the treatment she needed and she would still be around.  
    The smell of his favorite sausages filled the air around him as he stood up from bed and stretched.   He smiled as he let the sweet smell of maple-flavored goodness pull him into the kitchen.  
    “Good morning, sleepy head.” Dazzy greeted him with a welcoming smile as she placed his plate down on the table.
    It made him happy to see her in the mornings…and evenings for that matter.   Over the past 7 months as they spent more and more time together, as their feelings deepened.   He was even thinking about taking the “next step” in their relationship; he was just amazed at how perfect she was.   He had never fallen for anyone this hard before.   Of course, Romeo almost flipped his wig when Anton told him that he planned to propose to Dazzy.   Romeo still felt Anton was an idiot for even falling for her, and letting her move in nonetheless!   His sister, Jamelah even had her doubts about her.   He just told them to give her a chance and they will grow to love her just as much as he did.    
    “Good morning.”   He said with a smile and he walked over to her and gave her a kiss.   “Good morning to you too!”   He rubbed her belly. “How are you feeling, this morning?”
    “I’m okay, I guess.   I feel like a blimp.”   Dazzy frowned as she wobbled over to the counter to get her plate.      
    “No, you look beautiful.”   He smiled.
    “Yeah whatever.”   She scoffed.  
    Just as Anton took a bite of his sausage, there was a knock at the door.   “Who could this be this early?”
    “Romeo.”   They both said in unison.  
    Anton opened the door and smiled ear-to-ear when he
