In Between

Chapter 7

YVETTE POV

I was just now getting home and when I went to the apartment I saw Liyah crying on the couch.

"Pooh, what's the matter? What happened? Who I need to cut?" I said sitting next to her and putting my arm around her.

"I feel overwhelmed. I don't know what to do. Lance and Trey came at me today. They both want me to be with them." She said wiping her tears.

"And you're stuck between the middle.?" I asked and she nodded. "Awe Pooh. I really don't know what to say, you just have to pick ---" I said before she interrupted me.

"I can't pick one. I'm feeling Lance but I'm also feeling Trey. It's just uggggghhh!!!" She yelled making me laugh. "What's so funny?"

"You. Girl you are losing your damn mind. I need you to stop because I can't be coming in the house seeing you crying on the couch over some fine as men. I hate to say this but other women are already after them. Trey is rich, he owns a company. Lance is ... Well he's Lance. He makes everything happen. You think you stressing now, just imagine what's going to happen when you get with either one of them."

"You didn't make this any better."

"I know but I'm just giving you some real shit. I just want you to be ready, hear me?" I said.

"Yeah I hear you."

"Ok, now I was about to go to work but I can't leave my girl like this. So Imma stay here, we gone go out to the bar and have a few drinks." I said about to get up but she stopped me.

"I kind of did something today.."

"Don't tell me you murdered somebody because I don't feel like packing to move."

"Noooo." She said laughing.

"Oh then what you do?"

"Sorta kinda maybe just a little.... Had sex with Lance." She said closing her eyes.

"ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!! Shit, yall took too damn long." I yelled getting up. "Yall was getting on my nerves acting like Yall didn't want each other." I said making her laugh then we got ready to leave.

THE NEXT DAY

ANA'LIYAH POV

I woke up early in the morning to my phone ringing, when I looked at my phone I saw Lance name pop up.

PHONE CALL
Me: Hello
Lance: Good morning beautiful, open the door.
Me: what?
END OF CALL

"Did he just hang up in my face." I said looking at the phone. I went to open the door and Lance was standing there.

"What the hell you doing here? It's early in the morning."

"It's only 8." He said laughing and coming in. After closing the door I walked past him to go to my room. I went to the bathroom to bush my teeth and he came behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Mm." He said biting his lip and looking at the mirror at both of us.

"Mm what?" I said after I bent over to spit.

"Mm this." He said rubbing on my butt. "So Liyah."

"Yes." I said after rinsing and wiping my face.

"Are we or are we not together." He said making me turn around.

"I don't know."

"Baby I need to know."

"I don't know Lance." I said softly and he just nodded.

"Ok. I'm not pressuring you." He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

Well I'm still single, I stopped prostituting and well I just haven't been feeling myself lately.

"Yvette." I said going In her room. She was sitting there stuffing her face with meat loaf.

"Yes." She said with food in her mouth but she was still looking at the tv.

"Ummm.. I think I'm pregnant."
