Lakeera
Watson had just returned from school when she heard the sound of the doorbell.
At the door, the teenager was surprised to see Hakim Wright, her mother’s
boyfriend, through the glass partition.
Reluctantly, she opened the door to let him in…
“Tell me.” the man asked. “What really did I
do to make you hate me so much?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she
answered.
Wright knew otherwise but continued to talk,
this time with an enchanting smile.
“God
knows I care so much about you.” Wright began to say. “And I’ve been telling
myself to do whatever it takes to make you like me…I mean for us to be
friends.”
He pretended to appraise her teenage body
all over for a few seconds.
“See
baby…” he continued to flatter her. “All you need are just some designer
clothes and shoes…and you’ll be a total knockout.”
The girl blushed even as she tried to wave
off the flattery.
“Listen…I really don’t know what you’re
talking about.”
Again, the man resumed his pretense at
appraisal, looking her all over.
“Guess
what…” he stated confidently. “I know the right stores where you can get all
those stuffs.”
“Oh,
great…” Lakeera shook her head with a smile.
“Sure, I’m serious about that, you know…”
Wright said with emphasis.
The girl stared silently at Wright. Then,
she stood up. Wright did likewise.
“Hakim, why are you doing this?” she asked
the man.
“Simple.” Wright said casually. “It’s
because I care about you baby.”
“And mom knows about this?”
“Oh, no. She only knew I wanted to talk with
you about the incident of the other day.”
“Okay…”
“So baby, let’s go do some shopping, can
we?”
Wright made for the door while the girl
slowly followed suit.
