The Love I Missed

Chapter 18

"Take these off" Zaijah shifted around trying to pull her way out of the ropes.
"Don't make me knock yo pretty ass out" Ramon said sternly.

"Knock me out? BITCH WIT YO UGLY MUTHAFUCKING NOSE-" Ramon squeezed a pressure point causing her to pass out.
"Mouth dirty as ever" he chuckled to himself reminiscing about their times together.

"Was Rey at the mall?" A unknown voice in the car asked.
"Nah it was just her, Rey gon regret taking my woman"

Kalin's crib

"Y'all heard from Zai? She was meant to come here after she went to the mall" Liah bounced Mel in her arms. Rey, Eli, Dell, Lyon and Kal were in the living room chilling.

"She prolly in traffic or sum. Imma call her" Rey took out his phone and rang Zai but she didn't pick up. "Hmm"

"Maybe she needs some time to herself, don't stress it" Kal shrugged then took Mel from Liah.
"Kal come let's go to her crib and see if she there"
"Fine" he passed Mel back to Liah.

"Liah call Renata and ask where where she at, don't worry her cause ion want her telling her mama then a whole big scene happens"

Rey and Kal entered her apartment. They looked through the rooms just to find out she was no where to be seen. Rey was looking for ear cleaners in the bathroom when he came across a box. He furrowed his eyebrows and opened it to see a pregnancy test inside. "Ay- huh?" He stared at the test in the box before putting it down and calling for Kalin.
"Call Liah"
He took out his phone and facetimed Liah.
"What's up babe?"
"Ay it ain't babe it's Rey, you gave Zai your pregnancy test? I found one in her bathroom in a box"

Liah's eyes widened, "No.. that's hers she told me she took the test and hasn't had the courage to look at it so she left it in the box."
"Bro.. she's pregnant?" Kalin turned to Rey.

Rey stood there staring at the test with a blank facial expression.
"Tell Eli to come over" Kalin told her, said goodbye and hanged up.

"You haven't said anything Rey, what you thinking?"
He just stood there with no facial expression and stared at the positive pregnancy test on the counter.

"Liah said she hasn't looked at it, so she doesn't know that she's pregnant" Kalin spoke breaking the silence.
Rey walked out the room and sat in the living room smoking weed as he started off into the distance.
They sat in silence until Eli came in.

"Why's it so quiet? Y'all found her?" Eli plopped down on the couch.
"Nah we found out Zai's pregnant and Rey hasn't said a word since"
"She's- wait, how did you guys find out?"
Rey threw the pregnancy test at him. And Eli's eyes widened.

"She doesn't know she's pregnant" Rey ran a hand down his face. "But where the fuck is she"

He couldn't help but feel guilty for cheating on her while she was unknowingly pregnant.

Rey's phone rang taking him out of his thoughts.
"You ain't gon answer?" Kalin rubbed his chin.
"Nah it's an unknown number" Rey stretched his hands behind his head.

"Could be Zai" Eli shrugged and Rey finally picked up the phone after a few rings.

"I told you that she won't be around for much longer" a deep husky voice came through the phone.
And Rey instantly knew who it was.

"Neil? Nah first you shot up the salons and now you took my shawty" Rey said with irritation displayed on his face. Kal and Eli snapped their heads towards Rey as he put the phone on speaker.

"She got a mouth on her too. I told you i'll get her back" Ramon said through the phone.

"Ramon? You gon join my pops in hell nigga" he sat up.
They heard shouting at the other end of the line, "Don't touch me!"
"Touch her and all y'all are dead, you hear me?" He balled his fists.
