Pic of Oscar in mm
Tahj POV
By the time I got ready and reached the diner I worked at it was 3:45. As I walked to the door I noticed Oscar and made my way over to him.
A smile graced his face, "hey baby love"
A slight blush appeared on my face before I responded "Hey hun what's the good news?"
"Right to it huh? Well remember the meeting with the coach I told you about?" I nodded my head for him to continue. "Well I got scouted to a training camp in Florida and I'm going to be leaving next week for a year so..." I completely stopped listening at that point and was caught off guard by the tears that flowed like a river down my cheeks.
"Tahj, you heard what I said?"
"Yea, you're going to Florida for a year, which school?"
"Florida State University, go Seminoles I guess" he chuckled and continued "but I also said we should end things here." That's when my ears perked up.
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? I'm going to be in Florida while you stay in California, things just won't work."
"But Osc-"
"None of that Tahj, what you gotta tell me, the boys want to celebrate and I have to meet up with them soon." I turned my body towards the door and simply said "I'm pregnant" then walked inside.
Oscar POV
"What do you mean your pregnant?" I questioned as I followed her inside
"I'm pregnant as in carrying YOUR child" she whisper yelled.
"Well either take care of it yourself or get rid of it. I'm not about to drop my career for this shit, I should have known you were going to trap me. Man you're useless" She looked at me as if she wanted to cry or even kill me but instead she smiled told me bye and wished me luck.
Tahj POV
I wanted to bawl like a baby but I held it together and started my shift. Trust me, I wanted to go home but I had responsibilities that needed to be handled. I went to get my apron and order pad when my bestfriend Amber stopped me.
"Lil girl now I know you are not about to act like you don't see this big body bomb face standing right in front of you" That's the thing I love about Amber, even when I was feeling sour she knew exactly how to make me laugh.
"My bad, Oscar just dropped some pretty big news on me and my mind ain't right, especially since I dropped a pretty big bomb too."
"Ooo girl spill the tea now or you wanna let it cool off on the stove real quick?" I laughed at her ridiculousness "I think I'm just going to let it cool off on the stove before we both lose this job for laziness."
***
Amber and I were cleaning up the diner which allowed me to think things through. I was 20 working towards a bachelor's degree in criminal law and about to be a single mother. This job pays me enough to manage myself but nowhere near enough to take care of myself and a baby. No way in hell was I going to ask my parents for help, it's not that I had a problem with them but I hated being a financial burden to them. "Okay skinny bitch tell me what's up" Amber said breaking my thoughts.
