Death Before DishonorSitting on the bed of a California hotel room, I look at the Rolex on my wrist letting out a sigh of dread. I make sure I have everything I need in my clutch when I hear footsteps. Looking up I see Draco coming out of the bathroom wearing the typical hood nigga baby shower outfit.
"Burberry shirt? Really?" I ask getting a cheeky smile from him.
"It's the perfect occasion. I've been wanting to wear this," he brushes off the shirt tilting his head to the side. I can only shake my head.
I'm not in the best mood because today's Diamonté and Draco's baby shower. A few weeks ago it was confirmed Draco's the father through a prenatal DNA test. That only added to my feelings of sadness when my pregnancy test was negative. There's no way to hide the jealousy I have even though I've been trying to be a team player to keep the drama at minimum.
Diamonté's clearly trying to extend a friendly olive branch since she invited Draco and I to the babyshower her family's hosting. I guess the talk she had with Draco worked. I can't let my envy get in the way of that.
But I also can't help the feelings I have... "Can I be honest? I don't think I wanna go anymore."
"What? Why not?" he asks fixing his shoe laces in a full-length mirror before looking at me.
"It's weird...awkward. The wife at the baby mama's baby shower."
"She invited you though. If you don't show up she'll be offended then that causes problems we don't need right now," he tries to reason rubbing up and down my arms.
"I came all the way out here with you, but now I'm not up to it," I huff.
"I understand this isn't the ideal situation. I thought having my first child would be way different than this. I haven't been to one doctor's appointment because she kept it a secret and she's about to have the baby soon. None of my family's going to be at this baby shower. Shit, I barely have family anymore," he breathes out his nose.
