The Forbidden Desire

Chapter 19

The building has been silent for four days. After the last explosion between the group, everyone remained to themselves either in their rooms or outside. Beez nor Reginae even returned to the building after that day, but no one questioned it. As for Bahja she remained in Beez's room at all times unless Nique or Khalil came to ask her to eat. She was frankly thinking over what Avery kept telling her about them. If she couldn't figure what they have, then he had no reason to save her from anything. She wanted everything to be over. If only Chresanto and Avery weren't enemies...

Bahja stared up at the ceiling wondering what her options were. She had no idea what to tell Avery next. She liked him but she didn't want to let her brother down. Suddenly a knock on the door, made her shake away her thoughts. "Come in!" Bahja called out. The door opened to reveal Nique with a tampon in her hand.

"Hey, can I use this bathroom? Khalil's occupying the other one and it's the time of month," she said, shaking the tampon side to side. Bahja bolted upright and froze. Her eyes went wide and she looked at Nique in fear. "Um, did I ask for something wrong?" Nique asked.

She should've known. She's been late on her period and all the symptoms she was receiving; vomiting the other day, and all the hormones getting to her. Bahja swallowed and got off her bed before pulling Nique inside the room and closing the door. "I'm late on my period, Zonnique."

"Well, that happens. Don't worry-"

"No. You don't understand. I threw up the other day, and that wasn't the first. I've threw up 2 more times after that," Bahja informed her.

Nique's eyes slowly started to widen. Her mouth slightly parted. "What? You've been here for 3 weeks. You weren't sexually active-"

"I was," Bahja spat. She placed a hand on her forehead and took a deep breath. "I was with Avery. The one night stand we had before we actually found out who we were," she whispered.

Now Nique's jaw was literally on the ground. Bahja shook Nique's shoulder and immediately Nique closed her mouth and tried to gain composure. "Okay. Wait here. I have a few pregnancy tests, let me go grab them."

Kelly nodded and watched Eve scurry out of the room. She took a deep breath and paced around the room. What was she supposed to do if she was pregnant? Everything will come crashing down. Christian would be furious and there would be no way she could put the flame out. Kelly chewed on her lower lip. Eve came back inside and closed the door before shoving the pregnancy test in Kelly's hands.

"Hurry up!" Nique urged her.

Bahja walked into the bathroom and took out the stick from the packaging. She walked over to the toilet and pulled her panties down before peeing on the stick. Her heart was beating uncontrollably. After she was done, she washed her hands and picked up the stick.

She was pregnant.

Bahja started to cry. She couldn't control her tears. Nique opened the door and walked inside. When she saw the stick, she shook her head and pulled Bahja into her.

"I don't know what to-"

"Nique," Bahja said pulling back and wiping her tears, "you have to take this and throw it out. Avery can't see it," she said sharply.

Zonnique stared at the stick before grabbing it. She gave Bahja a painful expression before walking out of the bathroom and bedroom. Bahja fell to the ground and started to cry again. Avery was going to be pissed off. He already hates her for a lot of things and once he finds out she's pregnant, all hell breaks loose. He didn't do relationships or family, if he knew he had both coming his way he'd freak. To her bad luck, she heard the front door opening with a bang.

Bahja quickly wiped away her tears and stood up. She walked into the living room and found Reginae and Avery finally back from their hiatus. Avery's eyes locked onto hers and she quickly looked down to avoid his gaze. "For the love of god, you guys are back!" Keke chimed as she walked towards the couch and took a seat.

Reginae laughed and looked over to Beez. "We had to deal with things..." she said smirking. Bahja felt her heart drop to her stomach. What did Reginae mean by "deal with things"? It started to bother her, and she quickly flicked her eyes towards Eve.

Nique understood Bahja's look and nodded. She looked over at Reginae and asked, "What kind of things?"

"We broke Vincent's gang," Beez stated.

Everyone's eyes widened and some people even let gaps slip from their mouths. Delano balled his fists and walked to stand in front of Reginae and Avery. "I don't fucking get you guys. Why don't you just tell us when you go off splitting gangs? Why the hell are we here for then?" Delano shouted.

Avery stood up and pushed Wade out of his face. "Calm the fuck down. We knew bringing you guys will not get anything done," he spat.

Delano scoffed, "Yeah, so it took you guys four days to complete whatever you were doing?"

"Please, I'm sure Reginae got her chance with Avery," Keke joked. Reginae glared in Keke'a direction and Bahja's face fell. She didn't want to hear any more of the gang's argument. Instead, she turned around and walked back into Avery's room, slamming the door and grabbing everyone's attention.

"What's up with her?" Reginae asked curiously.

"Remember? She likes Beez," Keke laughed even more now.

Avery's heart told him to follow Bahja into the room and comfort her, kiss her, and make love to her. But his mind told him to think straight and remain with his gang. He hung his head low and took a seat on the couch before rummaging for cigarettes. Ted lit one up of his own before handing it to Beez. "I just don't understand why you can't tell us these stuff. I mean, for four days everyone just sat around doing nothing," Zoey said.

Avery drew in a deep breath before pulling the cigarette out of his mouth and exhaling. "I know what we're doing. If we need you, we'll TELL you," he snapped. He quickly put the cigarette out and walked towards his room. "Just fucking loosen up a bit."

Zoey had a look of disbelief. He glanced at Keke, and she simply shrugged. "Says the guys who needs the most loosening to do," she mumbled.
