An unexpected Surprise

Chapter 16

Mya's POV

After three days straight of having an emotional break down I ran out of ice cream so I put on my makeup to cover up the bags under my eyes and threw on my gym outfit which consisted of a purple sports bra, a black adidas sweater and black skin tight joggers. I slipped on my Nike's before tying my hair up in a tight bun and grabbing my keys heading out. I hopped in my car and headed to the mall enjoying the smooth sounds of J Cole's voice. I got there right as J Cole's 'Work Out' played and I exited the car before heading inside. I headed straight for the frozen food section, hurrying along and was relieved to see one more tube of French Vanilla Ice Cream. I hurried past the large crowd  and quickly grabbed the tube smiling in victory. 

"Still loving that Ice Cream I see" I sighed and turned to face the owner of that deep yet annoying voice.

"Kadeem, what a surprise"

"It wouldn't be if you just agreed to a date with me" 

"Kadeem, I have nothing I want to say to you besides goodbye" I turned on my heel and he grabbed my wrist stopping me from going any further. 

"Than at least give me the chance to apologize for not treating you like I should've" The thought of him begging for my forgiveness appeared in my mind and I must say it was a funny ass sight. 

"Fine. Tomorrow morning, IHop, your paying" He nodded smiling and I rolled my eyes before shaking his hand off mine before heading to the cash. I paid for my icecream and quickly heading home putting Kadeem to the back of my memory. With The Weekend letting me know I earned it, Jennifer Hudson telling me to Think Like a Man, and Trey Songz making Love Faces, I had made it home in a matter of ten minutes. I jumped out the car and headed into my house when I noticed trash sitting on my front porch. Yup, Kelly was sitting on my front step. I took a deep breath before giving my best model smile and walking to where she sat. 

"Hey Kelly right?"

"Yeah"

"Can I help you?" I tried to sound as nice as possible but I noticed it came out with a bit of a snare. 

"I just wanted to apologize for embarrassing you when I was on Drama Central, I was out of line"

"It's okay, I'm not really tripp--"

"And scene" She said before shooting me a smirk "Oh you didn't think I was serious did you? I just have an audition and I have to play the sincere roll." I felt like sincerely whooping her ass but settled on pushing past her. "Oh and Mya?"

Everything in me said don't turn around, just ignore her but I did. 

"What Kelly?"

"Stay the fuck away from Desmond" feeling challenged I took a step closer to her, bringing us face to face. 

"Are you nervous I'll steal him away"

"No I would just hate to see you face drop in disappointment and hurt like it did when Desmond choose me over you" my smile slowly dropped as everything she said was true. Desmond did choose her over me. "Yeah let that sink in and stay away from Desmond". She purposely bumped me with her shoulder before heading across the street yelling a quick "Nice talk Mya!" over her shoulder. Bitch. I headed inside feeling the need to rant and eat some icecream just as my phone began to ring. The caller ID read 'Andrew'. I debated answering it before mumbling a quick 'What the hell' and answering it on the last ring. 

"Hey beautiful, feel any better?" 

"Huh?"

"You weren't feeling well a few days ago, you okay?"

"Oh yeah, right, I feel better now" I mumbled and I heard him chuckle

"That didn't even sound a bit believable" 

"Sorry I just have a lot on my mind"

"Penny for your thoughts" 

"I don't know"

"No pressure but I'm here if you need me" I admired that he decided not to press the issue and took a deep breath before telling him about the entire situation from us meeting to him leaving Jazmine by herself to now. It took me a half an hour to finally let everything out and he stayed silent through the entire thing.

"Damn, i'm sorry you have to deal with all that"

"It's fine. Look thanks for listening but I have to go"

"No problem" with that I hung up and looked at the phone. I'm glad I have a friend I can trust. 

Andrew's POV 

Right as I was about to put down the phone, it rang with the caller ID 'Sis'. I answered on the third ring.

"What's up sis?"

"We're only half siblings Andrew"

"Fine, what's up Denise?"

"Absolutely nothing, did you get the information I needed?"

"Yes. Desmond left his baby by herself in the house" I heard her laugh before she finally spoke.

"Oh that's good, really good. But I need more. If we are going to get Desmond to lose custody of Jazmine we need something better. Keep digging" she hung up and I rolled my eyes. Why do I still keep talking to this woman?
