Toxic

Chapter 24

November 28th, 2019

Accidentally picking up what she thought was her ringing phone, she slid the button over to answer without even paying attention to the caller. 

"Hello" She answered groggily 

"Who is this??" The woman asked on the other end of the line

Denver looked at the phone crazy, and finally realized she had picked up CJ's phone. The number was unsaved so she wasn't sure who the caller could be

"CJ is still sleeping, is there anything you want me to tell him?"

"Bitch put him on this phone, I didn't call to speak to a fuckin secretary"

Hitting the red button, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up in the bed. Lord please dont let me haul off and slap his ass.

"CJ" She tapped his shoulder "CJ! Wake up"

"Hmm?" 

Against her better judgement, she grabbed his phone and tossed it at his back "what the fuck" 

"Get up"

Throwing his legs off the side the bed, he sat up with his eyes still closed. He stood to his feet and walked straight into the bathroom without a word. He already wasn't a morning person, and waking up to some shit like this didn't help the issue either. Once he relieve his bladder, and handled his hygiene he opened the door coming back out.

"Now talk to me like you got some sense, throwing phones and shit. When have we ever been on that?"

"A woman called your phone this morning, who was she and why the hell did she feel so comfortable talking to me like that? You told me weeks ago there was nobody else, so what's up??"

He picked up his phone from the bed and frowned when he recognized the number. The number belonged to Veronica, but he didn't know why the hell she would be calling him, especially not at the crack of damn dawn. He stood there calling her back as Denver watched him closely

"What's the issue? It's early as hell man" He and Veronica had a short conversation before he ultimately ended the call while she was still talking. There was no way what she was saying could be true, this was just another game her ass was playing and it was too early to be playing em.

"So?" He could tell from the mug on her face that she was pissed

"Just hear me out" She raised her eyebrows and turned her head to the side "that was Veronica. She claiming she's pregnant and that its a possibility that its mine"

"But its not right?"

"I always strapped up but anything is possible baby"

She couldn't even be mad, shit happens. A baby would never make her feel any different for him, but it would certainly make her feel some type of way. CJ was the man she was falling in love with, so it was natural for her brain to create the marriage, babies and picket fence scenarios. She wanted to be the first to give him a child, the first of a lot of their firsts together.

Denver closed her eyes and sighed, she walked around the bed and stood in front of him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she laid her head on his chest and let the silence take over.

"Can we just take this one day at a time? Throwing phones at me and shit man" He wrapped his arms tightly around her body and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry, that just pissed me off. Why does that hoe even think she can speak to me that way?"

"I know this may sound corny as hell, but she want your spot"

"Well that shit is definitely not happening, figure it out before I have to please and thank you" Standing on her tippy toes, she kissed his lips
