The Long, Hot Summer [RETIRED]

Chapter 14

A week and a half later...

"B-A, B-Y, M-A, M-A, this goes out to all my Baby mamas, this goes out to all my Baby Mamas!" I heard being sung, growing louder behind me as the person got closer. I playfully rolled my eyes, shaking my head as I grabbed my last book before closing my locker and turning to greet the person.

"Good morning to you too Teyana," I sarcastically stated, "What did Beyoncé send you over for this time?" I asked in a knowing tone.

She gasped and clutched her chest, feigning a look of shock, "Why I gotta be sent, I can't come over on my own? Michelle, I'm hurt," she said. She kept up the facade for a few more seconds before I gave her a look that made us both erupt in a fit of giggles, "You're real funny, a whole original Queen of Comedy for that one," she finished with a straight face, but that made me laugh even harder.

"That was a good one," I said through my laughter, earning a kick from Bubba, "Oof, your nephew feels the same," I said while rubbing my stomach and she lit up.

"Oh snap for real? Let me feel," she said as she laid her hand on my belly, feeling around to try to feel Bubba kick again.

She was rubbing all around my stomach and I jumped when her hand hit a certain spot, "Hey! Watch that hand now, that ain't all baby," I warned and she snickered, but she gasped in shock when Bubba kicked right against her hand.

Her hand flew back, "Oh shit, you got yourself a lil kick boxer in there don't you?" she said shaking her hand and I chuckled.

"Kick boxer, martial artist, soccer player...All I know is I need to save all the money I can because I got a feeling this one is going to be involved in all of the sports. But for real what's up? Did you actually come over here for me or because you needed somewhere to go since you and our bestie are beefing," I inquired and she grinned sheepishly.

When I finally got Bey to stop deflecting and tell me what happened in the cafeteria after I left, she still wouldn't say much, she just said that her and Teyana got into a heated discussion that got loud, which pissed off Onika because she didn't like they way Bey was acting over me. She said there wasn't a fight at all, security just came in when things got loud and since our school has a zero tolerance for fighting of any kind, that was enough to suspend them for two days. If you ask me, that was dumb as hell, but I've seen people get suspended for accidentally bumping into someone too hard and the administration was scared it was going to escalate into something more, so I know they all but jumped at the chance to suspend them.

I know Mama T was pissed, she was so mad she told Bey she didn't want to see her face, but somehow Bey interpreted that as 'get out my house,' so for two days she stayed holed up in my apartment, getting on my last nerve because she attached herself to my hip like the strongest velcro ever made. How is it that she got in trouble, but I got the punishment?

And before you start assuming, nothing happened between us. Bey truly respected my feelings and she kept her hands either on my belly or to herself . Even if she wanted to do something she couldn't thanks to Kelly. Once she realized that Bey was staying over she came down with an overnight bag and her big ass blanket, and my small, one-bedroom apartment quickly became overcrowded with three very strong personalities and the tension to match.

It was...awkward to say the least. Kelly and I were being our regular selves, but Bey is still convinced something was going on between us, so her jealous side was out and proud. She had no reason to be considering she's still in a relationship with Onika. But I guess recent revelations had her more conflicted than usual. In her head she's dealing with the fact that she's in love with me, but she still really likes Onika and is in a relationship with her. She doesn't want to end things with her despite being in love with me, and while that should be enough for her to move on and let me be, the mere thought of me being with someone else upsets her, EVEN though we've made it abundantly clear that we are just friends and nothing more.
