HER (COMPLETED)

Chapter Seventeen

India POV

I was laying in bed on FaceTime with Dior venting to her on how frustrated I was over King and I messages this morning.

"So then I told him like, we don't have to talk on the phone to communicate, I gave you the same answer I would've given you over the phone through a text message, like why we wasting our breath talking on the phone when he really don't even be talking about nothing. Like if I'm being completely honest Dior, it feel like he doesn't even want this baby, like I'm not forcing this man to do anything, I'm thankful as fuck with the things he does do, but you not finna half ass or do shit when and how you wanna do it. Take this for example, now please Dior tell me if I'm bugging,the whole thing with the maternity shoot, he wanted me to take profesional maternity photos, I told him I didn't want to, he insisted that I did, he told me to set everything up, hire somebody private so that's exactly what I did, this man came almost 3 hours late and walked into the shoot with no apology, no explanation, no nothing. He had me sitting there 7 1/2 months pregnant, with a big ass fucking belly, 3 kids running around with one hungry, the other bored, the other tired, and then have the nerve to walk in all nonchalant like nun. Then I say King you were suppose to be here 3hours ago and this nigga gonna tell me,Well I'm here now so let's get this over with I don't have all day I got money I could be making."

"Bitch no the fuck he didn't." She said.

" I swear on my life Dior, like every ultrasound appointment I have he always ask me to send him the date and time, I send it to him, come time for the appointment this man is no where to be found, the first time this shit happened I called him and asked him if he was still coming, he gonna say yea, the doctor know not to start until I get there, then hangs up the phone, so I turn to the doctor like let's just start without him because I'm not waiting for him to get here, so this bitch tells me I've been given strict instructions not to start unless Mr. Caine is present. So I ask this hoe, so if my baby start falling out my pussy you ain't gonna start until Mr. Caine get there huh, this dumb bitch gonna smile at me, like I just can't Dior, when it's time to have our baby he think the baby just gonna wait just because he said so, no that's not how that works." I told her shaking my head.

"Well you already know me and Ms.Pearl gonna be there when you go in labor, with this being your first pregnancy and all, your labor is probably gonna take a little while so we should have more than enough time to get there." Dior said, supportively.

"Yea I know y'all are, everything i need for my home birth is supposed to be coming in today so I'm gonna have Chet help me clear out the room downstairs to set it up as my birthing room, I already have everything else set up in my room for when the baby gets here so I just gotta get that done and I'm all set." I told Her.

"Girl I meant to ask you that, did you and Chet ever talk about what happened in the kitchen the other day." She asked whispering.

"No." I said shaking my head. " And I honestly wouldn't know what to say to him even if we did talk."

"Do you like him?" She asked.

"Honestly .... I don't know Dior, my hormones have been all over the place ever since I got pregnant so I don't trust myself to even answer that question right now." I told her honestly.

"Friend you better not fuck that nigga while you pregnant." She said pointing her finger at me through the screen.

"Girl what the fuck I look like letting that nigga fuck on me while I'm pregnant.I honestly couldn't really see myself with him anyway, he really is a real good friend." I said grabbing my swollen feet giving them a rub to release some of the tension in them.

"I'm just saying girl, don't let hormones get you beat up by King." She said laughing.

"Girl what eve-." I started to say before I saw a text pop up on my phone saying Chet was on his way up.

"Hold on girl I'll call you right back Chet finna come up real quick." I told her.

"Come up where? To your room?" She asked.

"Yes girl bye, I'll call you back in a minute." I told her hanging up just as Chet came to the door.

"Knock knock." Chet said smiling as he walked in.

"Hey what's up?" I asked.

"Nun much just checking on you, where Brayden at?" He asked.

"In the room down the hall taking a nap, that boy does not like sleepin with me no more." I said rolling my eyes laughing. He came to the edge of the bed and sat down before taking my feet out of my hands. He instantly began massaging them. "Cheterion stop." I whispered. I was low key hoping he didn't hear me so he could keep going. This shit felt so fucking good, 1000 times better than what I was just doing but I knew it was inappropriate and I didn't wanna send him the wrong signal.

"Why?" He laughed still rubbing. "I'm just a friend helping out my pregnant friend, what's wrong with that." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Yea but that same friend kissed me in the kitchen the other morning." I told him pulling my feet out his grasp.

"Because I wanna fuck with you heavy India." He said sighing, before gently grabbing my ankle massaging it. "I want you to be mine."

"Cheterion you know we can't do that, one if King found out you know what he'd do, and I'm pregnant right now my emotions might not be my own, and I don't wanna hurt our friendship by adding a situationship on top of everything." I told him honestly. Chet really was a good guy, I low key wish I'd met him before all this because he really genuinely cares about me, my siblings and my baby.

"Nah I hear you. I'm not gonna stop trying though." He said smiling.

"Boy what ever—shhhh"I hissed softly. I rolled over on my side to try to relieve the lumbar pain I had in my lower back. I reached my hand behind my back added pressure to massage the excruciating ache out.

"Your back messing with you again." he asked standing up to come lay behind me on the bed. Our bodies weren't touching so I didn't say anything.

"Yea Im getting that sharp pain down my spine again." I told him with my eyes shut because that pain was no joke.

Next thing I knew I felt him massaging my spine and this time I didn't protest. I found myself slowly drifting off to sleep as he kept kneading the pain out my back.

1 Hour Later

I jumped out of my sleep at the feeling of fast tapping on my waist.

"What?" I said half asleep lifting up. He just pointed behind me, the look on his face was odd, as I turned around I expected to see Brayden, instead I saw the last person I wanted to see. King.
