COFFEE CUPS UP! OCTOBER, 2013 / ISSUE 3 | Page 25

I could feel his spell coming over me again. It brought back memories. I couldn’t believe I was on an elevator with the most gorgeous man alive, I thought to myself. This is why I distanced myself from him. He was so irresistible. We walked off the elevators entrance into his place. He motioned me to sit down and gave me a drink. I refused, this time. I didn’t trust him. “Hello my beautiful princes, I have been waiting and hoping for this day,” he said. What do you mean, this day?” I asked.

He went on to explain how we indulged in that one beautiful night and how all possibilities were at our hands.

“Com’on Madison! You didn’t enjoy me as much as I enjoyed you?” I then replied, “I thought we used protection?”

"Yes, we did. Why? Are you feeling in a certain way?” Rashad took the smiled off his face. “We both were consenting adults. He looked at me and could see my confusion. He went on to say, "we both had a lot to drink that night but you can’t say we didn’t enjoy ourselves.” I was silent. I could not respond.

He asked, “What’s going on Madison? Tell me what’s wrong.”

“My husband is not the father of our daughter. But I don’t understand. We used a condom that night. Didn’t we, Rashad? I know guys that would pretend to put on a condom and when the girl isn’t looking, he would take it off.”

"Yes, I wore a condom. I would never have disrespected you like that," Rashad said.

"Well something has gone wrong. My husband, who has been thinking he is the father of our 4 year daughter is not the father. What happened?” I asked.

“Oh my Madison! Are you trying to tell me that I could be your baby’s father?” Rashad asked.

“You or Jesus! You were the only one I been with besides my husband. Did the condom bust Rashad?”

“I don’t know… I don’t remember! I wasn’t checking condoms

all night. Oh My God!”, Rashad was in shock.

"Well…. All of this is not as important. My daughter needs blood! I need you to come to the hospital and get a DNA test to see if you can give blood. She is in intensive care and we need blood. I will have to figure this out at a later time. Please come now.”

Needless to say, Rashad’s DNA matched up to Trinity's blood. Now how do I tell my husband about another man who is the father of our baby?”
