The Help

Ch. 6

Taylor

I was sitting on my bed, on the laptops looking for jobs that are hiring.
Taco Bell
Popeyes
Walmart
Walgreens...
I can't choose which place I should work at. The reason I am looking for a job is because, I don't expect Tremaine to help me out forever. I need to be on my own, so I can take care of MY child. My responsibility. There was a knock on the door, I closed my laptop.

"Come in" I called out

Tremaine walked in with a white shirt on and basketball shorts. He smiled and leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed at his chest

"Hey. When did you get home?"

"About 2 hours ago. You were sleep when I came back, I didn't want to wake you" he nodded his head "I ran into an old friend today" I smiled "My bestfriend..I missed her"

"Really? And how did that turn out?" He asked as he walked into the room and sat down on the bed

"It was good" I chuckled "I haven't seen her in months, you know? After my mom kicked me out, I basically stopped going to school, so I didn't see her or any of my other friends for months" I sighed

"I understand. What you up to?"

"I was looking up some jobs that are hiring. I don't expect you to take full responsibility of me or my child, that's my job Tremaine. I will just find a job and later move out"

"You acting like its a bad thing that I'm helping you out" he giggled "I enjoy helping you out. I like your company, and I told you, I wouldn't mind being your son's father"

"I know" I sighed "I just feel like, since I'm going to be a mom soon, I have to be a strong and independent woman. I don't want to live off of you or your money forever"

"And that's not a problem" he smiled "It isn't. I don't think you should be working right now either, why don't you wait until your son is born?"

"You think?"

"Yeah" he smiled "What are you going to name him anyways?"

"Well, when I was a little girl, I always told myself when I have a son I was going to name him King, but, I'm not so sure now" I shrugged my shoulders "I kinda like the names Noah, Nathan or Mason"

"We'll figure it out" he smiled "Besides, I kinda like those names too"

I gave him a warm smile as he smiled back at me. All of a sudden, I noticed he was leaning into me. As his lips were close to mine, he stopped as he heard someone called out to him "Tremaine!? Trey where are you?!?" We heard a lady shout out

"Shit" he cussed in a whisper

"Who is that?" I asked

"My mother" he said as he stood up from the bed "Do me a favor? Stay here"

I nodded my head as he angrily left the room. I laughed softly

Tremaine

I angrily walked downstairs, seeing my mother and the devil....my sister, sitting on the couch

"What are you guys doing here? You couldn't call first?"

"I told you he has a girl in here ma" Sydney said "I knew I was right"

"Shut up Syd"

"Well hello to you too, son. I thought me and your sister could stop by and see you since we haven't seen or heard from you in days"
