The Forbidden Desire

Chapter 30

"So you're telling me that you're in love with Bugatti Beez and you're currently carrying the devil's baby?" Manny clarified. Bahja shot him a dirty look and he chuckled before raising his hands up in the air. "I'm kidding. So Chresanto nor Lourdes doesn't know about the baby?" Bahja nodded and let out a sigh.

"My brother is going to kill me," she whispered.

"And after all this, Bugatti still holds a grudge on Chresanto and refuses to be with you?" Manny asked.

Bahja stopped where she was and turned to face him. "Yes. Now stop repeating whatever I just said and give me some advice before I beat your ass with a baby in my stomach," she frowned. He chuckled

"Welp....looks like spending time with beez done changed your attitude but it's cute thou. But It's kind of hard when you're my ex-girlfriend," Manny blurted out. Bahja stared at him and he quickly took her hands in his. She stared down at their hands before looking back up at him. "I know we got off on the wrong terms but I still care about you Bahja. I always did and you were one special girl. I won't mind going on some dates with you," he whispered.

"Manny..." Bahja trailed off, but he cut her off.

"It's hard, I know. But I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend. I just want you to come on some dates with me and give it a shot," he continued to speak.

"Manny, I'm carrying Bugatti Beez's baby," she hissed.

"That's right lil nigga." They heard a female voice and immediately turned to find Zonnique, Khalil, Zoey, and behind them, Bugatti BEEZ. Bahja's heart stopped for a mere second when she saw the miserable look Avery's had on his face. She wanted to just walk over to him and kiss it all better. And then she remembered what he said. "Hey, girly!" Nique grinned widely at Bahja.

Bahja quickly hugged Nique. "Oh my gosh, how are you guys?" She asked them.

"We're good. Definitely missing you. You changed a lot of people's lives," Khalil said before glancing at Avery. Bahja followed Khalil's eyes to Avery and immediately smiled. She couldn't help it though. "Whose this?" He asked pointing to Manny.

"Oh!" Bahja turned to look at John. "This is Manny. He's Chresanto's best friend and also a really good friend to me," she said as she held him under her gaze. This was her response to his previous question.

"Well I'm actually her ex-boyfriend," Manny added.

Avery balled his fists. He didn't like the idea of Bahja hanging out with her ex-boyfriend. It just didn't sound right to him. He clenched his jaw and looked away, not wanting to show the anger evident on his face.

"Um, that's interesting. So Bahja did you get a doctor's checkup? You're pregnant for sure right?"Nique asked.

Bahja giggled and blushed. Her eyes fell on Avery again, and she noticed him turn his head and look at her. His face softened suddenly, almost making Bahja wonder why. "Yeah, I'm pregnant. And everything's good," she whispered shyly.

Nique nodded. "Okay, well we're on our way out. Catch up with us, okay?" She asked.

Bahja laughed. "Okay." She moved towards Nique and giver her another hug, before giving Khalil and Delano one as well. When she stopped in front of Avery, she felt anger take over her. Acery took the opportunity to make a statement to Manny. He grabbed Kelly's waist and pulled her to him before pressing his lips down on hers. He smiled as she fought back, grabbing a fistful of material in her hands and trying to push him off. His lips moved perfectly with hers, and he knew she was kissing him back.

Everyone watched on with their jaws literally on the ground.

Bahja finally moved her head back and stared at him breathless. "I fucking hate you," she whispered.

Avery chuckled and caressed her cheek before meeting her eyes. "Take care of our baby, beautiful," he whispered against her lips.

Bahja felt chills go down her spine. It was incredible how he can make her feel. She bit her lower lip and moved her hands to the front of his chest. She didn't even care that they kissed in the middle of the food court, because what they shared was heavenly. "My brother will kill you," she said.

Avery smirked, "I don't mind being Romeo. But you're always my Juliet, babe," he chuckled before letting her go. Before he walked away, he stopped beside Manny and glanced at him. "Don't even try making a move on her. She's with me and will always be. Do you understand?" He spat.

Manny nodded and gulped as he watched Avery leave with his friends. Bahja smiled and blushed deeply. Avery was a sex god.

Keke opened her house door and found Avery standing in front of her. She sighed and placed a hand on her forehead. Avery stared at her blankly. He was confused when she didn't ask him to come in. Suddenly he heard crying in the background, and then a little kid running and hugging Keke's leg. "DJ! What did you do to your sister?" She asked him. Dj giggled and pointed in the direction of the living room. Avery could make him out to be about 4 or 5 years old.

"Damn Keke, I didn't know you were a mother," Avery said shocked.

Keke glared at Avery and shook her head. "Nobody does expect Delano. That's my babies father and my fiancé," she explained as she opened the door wider and picked up Dj in her arms. Once Avery recovered from his shocked state, he stepped inside, she closed the door and led him to the living room, as Dj played with her platinum black hair. "Delano not home, so I'm having trouble looking after the two. I'm glad you're here though." Once they entered the living room, both of their eyes darted to the baby on the couch. "Can you please pick her up and rock her?" she asked. "I'm just going to heat up her milk," she began to walk to the kitchen with Dj still in his arms.

Avery stared at the baby blankly. He began to stumble on giving a reason to not touch the baby, but Keke was already out of sight. "What's her name?" Avery called out.

"Myah!" Keke yelled back.

Avery nodded. "Alright Myah," he whispered to himself. He took his hands out of his pocket and started to walk towards the baby. Avery took a deep breath and picked up the baby. He held her against his chest, with his arms under the baby. "Okay BabyGirl, you gotta calm down," he said softly as he rocked the baby side to side. He stared at its angelic face and suddenly a smile etched his lips. Myah looked so cute and he couldn't help but smile. Soon, the cries died down and the baby looked at Avery with its big brown eyes just like her mother's. Avery chuckled and wiped the little girl's tears away. This didn't seem bad, he thought.

Keke walked in again with Dj by her leg. She sighed as she watched Avery and the baby. "You might actually be a good dad," she said. Avery turned around and looked at her. She smiled and walked towards him, "You should be with Bahja, Avery," she whispered to him. Keke took Myah from Avery and sat down on the couch, to feed him his milk. Avery sat down beside her and observed her as she placed the baby bottle between Myah's lips.

"I'm trying to wait until I get a legal job," he joked.

Keke looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, I heard you're reconstructing the building to a boxing club. Good for you," she said.

Avery nodded. "Thanks, I was hoping I'd catch Delano so I could offer him a job," he told her.

"That would be nice. Delano is actually out to look for one right now. It's pretty hard when you have no experience in anything but shooting," she laughed and looked back down at Myah before her eyes averted to Dj who was playing with his cars.

"Well, I'm going to head out. I'll see you around, okay? And let Delano know," he told her as he got up.

Keke looked at him. "Bahja a good girl, Avery."

Avery pressed his lips into a thin line and looked away from Keke. "I know."
