It's been long overdue since me and my bestie hung out with one another, so after a meeting with August and his manager, Dee, I went to pay Jennifer a visit.

We had our usual girl talk in her living room, as we sat on the floor with a bunch of pillows and ate our chinese food and then cookie dough for dessert.

"I really missed your crazy ass.", I said to her.

"I missed you too.", she pouted. "And soon my pookie will be havin a lil pookie."

I palmed my little baby bump. "I know... It's crazy."

"I'm still mad at you though for not comin to stay wit me after I got back!", she exclaimed. "Gonna choose August ass over me... It's cool."

I smirked. "It was just random. He offered and I just accepted. I ain't really feel like bouncin around from place to place... Plus Shawn was less likely to bother me there knowin that August will fight him and has security around sometimes."

"Yeah, I know... He's such a bastard for puttin you through that... And now you're carrying his child.", she said, shaking her head. "Your mom knows? ", she asked.

"She doesn't know anything other than me and Myla not speaking... I spoke to her like a week after everything happened, she was just like 'I don't know what you and your sister's issue is but if I need to straighten y'all asses out then I will.' ", I said, impersonating my mother's voice.

Jennifer laughed. "Did she tell you what Myla said to her? "

"Yeah. She said Myla told her that I was bein a 'Dumb Diane' and that she wasn't speakin to me until I came to my senses.", I replied.

"Damn.", Jen said, shaking her head.

"Yup... I was like I guess she won't be speakin to me til the end of the year then."

"When did they say your due date is? "

"December 5th."

"You feel pregnant? "

I shrugged. "Not really... I mean other than the minor symptoms and the lil bit of weight I put on, I still feel like my regular self."

"Yeah, your ass and hips definitely got bigger!... I know August love havin you in the house to get his lil sneak peek on.", she said.

I shook my head. "Girl please, I told you he dealin wit someone."

"Still? "

I nodded.

"I thought she was just a one time thing.", she said.

"Nope. He might actually keep her around.", I said, as I took a bite of my eggroll.

"So she be over there when you're there? "

"Yeah. Sometimes."

"Oh hellll no... I would fuck August up like, 'Don't be havin your hoes over here while I'm here!' "

"That dude is entitled to do whatever he wanna do. Just cuz we slept together that one time doesn't mean we're in a relationship and have to control each other's lives.", I said.

"True, but y'all did grow a friendship over the past few months... That counts, and if it was me, I still wouldn't want him bringin no bitches around me.", she stated.
