Best Friends... Always?

I'm Glad to have You

:Monae's POV:

"Andre who the hell is yelling." a man said walking farther into the living room. "Hey dad uh no one." Andre said rubbing his neck. Andre looked nothing like his dad you could tell more of his looks from his mom. "Hey Mr. Brooks." Lea smiled. I didn't say anything because Andre spoke, "Dad this is Monae" he gestured towards me. His dad smiled at me, "Ah this is the infamous Monae your mom talks about." Lea looked taken aback. I smiled and picked up Mariyah. "Sorry we haven't met before some things kept me at a distance" I glanced over at Lea, she was fuming. "Uhm Dre can you get her baby bag please." I walked closer to the front door. "Nice meeting you Mr. Brooks" I called behind me. "You too Monae." I walked outside and Dre came out not to long after me. "You don't have to go Dimples." he looked down. "Yeaa I do and we both know it it's okay I'll see you tomorrow." I grabbed the carrier from his hand and walked to me truck. "At least let me help" he jogged up beside me and grabbed the carrier from me. "Do you even know how to strap that in?" I raised my eyebrow. "Hey where's your car?" I asked looking around. "I'm saving up for it." he smirked and buckled the seat in. "Oh so how do you get to school?" I put Mariyah in the seat and buckled her in. I looked back at Andre who's eyes were downward. "Uhm excuse you my face is up here." I snapped my fingers. "I still heard you, but sorry." he looked up. "And Lea, but you know that's getting old, who wants to ride in a pink bug everyday. " He looked over at her car. "Well I could drive you." I suggested. He seemed to perk up from hearing me say that. "Ok that could work my little Dimples." he pinched my cheeks. I swatted his hands away. "So you gave her a nickname and not me." an all to familiar voice said. I groaned, closed the back door, and walked around to the drivers side.

"Lea go back in the house or leave I'm tired of all these petty arguments. " Andre said and I saw veins popping out of his neck. Lea didn't say anything she just walked back into the house. By this time I had the truck started and was putting it into reverse. "Bye Bubby." I called out the window. He turned and smiled, "I'll text you." he said walking back towards the house.

:Andre's POV:

I walked in the house to see Lea crying. I looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "Lea what's wrong now?" I said irritated. " You and that bitch is my problem you're cheating right in front of me and-" I cut her off quick, "First of all don't call her a bitch what has she done to you and second of all how am I possibly cheating when eveytime I turn around you're right there and don't you have a partner you should be working with?" I asked starting to walk upstairs and she followed. I walked into my room and went to the bathroom. "Andre ..." she got quiet and then I heard the door to my room close. I came out the bathhroom and looked at her. "What?" I through some clothes in my clothes hamper. Maybe I should take Nae up on that offer to clean my room. I looked at Lea as she played with her fingers. "What Lea" I said little louder which made her jump at my tone. "I'm ..." she looked away. "You're what" I said losing patience. "I'm I'm pregnant." she broke down. I looked at her not believing her. "You can't be not with my child that is." I shruggec and got up. "What do you mean not your child" she looked at me from where she stood. "Lea when we had sex I had a condom both times and not once did it break and I pulled out for extra protection."

"That child isn't mine." I said walking past her. "Yes it is." she followed me into my closet. "You can say that all you want, but that won't make it true and now I see what didn't feel right." I turned around. "You cheated and thought I'd find out so that's why you've been extra clingy." I chuckled and looked up. "We're done Lea." I sighed looking into her eyes. "What how can you just dump me I didn't cheat this baby is yours. " she poked me in the chest. I started to get mad. "Damn Lea let it fucking go ! YOU cheated! YOU brought this on yourself! Don't come at me with that bullshit!" I stared at her. "Andre you know it's yours." she sneered. "When is the last time we had sex Lea?" I asked. "Last week." she answered. "Ok and how long have you known about this baby.?" I asked her. She looked down and I knew I had caught her. "How long Lea?" I asked again. " Three months" she mumbled. I stepped back and couldn't believe what she had said. "So you're saying if had been dumb enough to believe you I would have been tied down with a child that isn't even mine?" I stared at her. "No I-." I cut her off. "Lea just leave for good this time." I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck.
