The Thick Girl and the Thug Boy

Chapter 7 (Part 3)

LEILANI POV

*click*

He hung up right in my face. I always wondered why Chris asked me to work for him.. I just thought they were friends or something. It never crossed my mind that there was beef between them. I only did as told. Did I really have a choice? ? No.

Chris has been whooping my ass consecutively since the 5th month of our relationship. For no apparent reason either. . He gets drunk and turns into a monster sometimes.  So when I met August, I fell for him immediately.  He's so caring and compassionate compared to Chris.

I just love everything about him. I know he probably doesn't love me and thinks I was just out here looking for casual sex or trying to set him up,  but I wasn't. I really fell for him.. well.. am falling for him.

He's the father of my soon- to-be child. . Of course I love him. I mean, he's single right?  His life is pretty much together for the most part.. I can tell he's holding something back from me though.. Maybe if I just tell him about Chris, he'll help me out and we could be together..? I can only hope and dream that one day he'll be mines.

I picked up the clothes I picked out to wear and took them in the bathroom to shower and get dressed. I'm shopping for my baby and I have a doctor's appointment.

--------------------

"Well Leilani, looks like you're having a girl!" I smiled as a tear slipped out of my eye and I watched my princess move around on the monitor. I was already in love. She printed the pictures and I went straight to my phone to send Aug a picture of the sonogram. 

He didn't text back but I just went on.. it hurts but.. he already has a kid so maybe he isn't as excited? I don't know.. I have a lot of questions.  As I walked through the mall I walked into FootLocker to see if Chris was on break so I can give him the news. I didn't really want him to know, but he has to.. I walked to the register.

"Hello miss, welcome to FootLocker, can I help you with anything?"

"Yes please, I'm looking for my boyfriend Chris Brown. Do you know if he's on break at the moment or if he can spare 5 minutes? It's really important. "

"Yes ma'am,  he actually just left about 10 minutes ago for his lunch break."

"Okay thank you!" I smiled and walked out of the store to the escalator. As I rode up, I could begin to see the food court. I scanned the area and saw Chris sitting next to some girl with his arms wrapped around her. It looked like she was crying. But who the hell is she and why is he holding her like that? It sent me over the top as I approached them and saw him lift up her chin and kiss her. He never kissed me like that. When I cried, usually because of him hitting me, he just left me lying there. I instantly felt rage and jealousy well up in my heart and seep through my pores.. I was beyond pissed.

I approached the table and they were still kissing. Like damn let the bitch breathe. I tapped him on the shoulder and watched his eyes grow  wide as he turned around breaking the kiss.

"When you're ready to act like we're in a relationship,  let me know .. but here's a picture of your baby. Jerk."

I threw the picture at him and sped walked all the way to my car.

In my mind I kept replaying ny bestfriend Staci saying,  "Fuck em girl, fuck em girl, fuck him."while she did a dance and clapped her hands. That brought a smile to my face and made me feel 10x better.

CHRIS

"When you're ready to act like we're in a relationship,  let me know .. but here's a picture of your baby. Jerk." She sped walked out of the mall and I was left there in shock. Only because Aniyah looked even more hurt than before.

"So what the fuck was that? ?"

"What? The kiss or her?" I said pointing at Leilani practically running through the mall.

"Both Chris. What the fuck is going on between you two? I know you said you had a girlfriend so why were you stinking your tongue down my throat??"

"Ok look, Leilani and I have been dating for some time now. A few months back I sent her to work with the leader of a gang I'm beefing with,  you know.. SY . So I sent her down there and next thing I know, I'm getting a video of them having sex. From that point on I knew she wasn't one to be trusted. About a week ago, she comes up to me crying and carrying on about her being pregnant.  I acted happy at the moment, but I was secretly hurt. It's his baby.. She knew having a child was important to me. . Plus this cat August already has a kid. . Its nothing special for him.. you know? But yeah so now she's acting like I don't know what's been going on with them but I read their messages. . They were doing the most. But yeah that's why I kissed you.. I couldn't help myself. When you were telling me what this guy did to you and how you don't have a place to stay and stuff , I felt like I was single. I want to protect you.  I want to take care of you.. I could treat you right Aniya--"

"Wait. . Did you say the leader of SY was named August???"

"Yeah , but like I was saying I could tre--"

"That's my ex!! Wooooow. This whole time our relationships were connected.. that's the craziest shit ever. I'm definitely single now. " She cracked up laughing.

I, on the other hand was pissed but I tried to keep my anger on lock. I skipped my medicine this morning so let me calm down.,

"Why you say that?"

"Because he lied to me. He never told me he was in SY.. them niggas killed my cousin GeneyBoi. I wouldn't have dated him had I known from the jump." She started to tear up.

"I guess we're single together now.  I got you Niyah-Pooh." I wiped her tears and kissed her again. This time with more passion. Something about her made me want more.

"Chris can I stay at your house tonight?" I smiled and kissed her again.

"Hell yeah,  we both single anyways." We smiled, walked back to FootLocker, and finished the rest of our shifts.

"Where's your bathroom?"

"Right in there." I pointed to the bathroom in my room. Seconds later I heard the shower running. I stripped down to my boxers and sat  on the bed.. I immediately began to cry.

I'm hella emotional and my bipolar disorder doesn't help. So when I'm stressed,  I drink . But for some reason, Aniyah has me feeling like I don't need a drink tonight. I haven't cried in so long, but I feel better. Maybe I should cry more often. I heard the water turn off but I just couldn't stop.

"That shower is the sh-- Chris what's wrong?!" She rushed to my side and held me in her arms while she planted kisses on the top of my head and my face. I couldn't help but smile inside.. I've never cried a day in my life- that I can remember- but I really like the feeling. Especially with Aniyah being here with me. My brothers always made it out to be punk shit if I cried. But I feel less stressed.

---------

I finally stopped crying. Aniyah was straddling my waist and wiping my tears away. I'm really starting to fall for her. She calms me down when I'm upset and makes me feel normal. I've never felt like this about any Boe before. Not even Leilani..

I laid back with Aniyah's face in the crook of my neck and we laid there just like that, her light snores filled the room and I fell asleep not too long after.
