Sage

I messed with my hands.

"Earth to Sage"

"Earth to Covonte"

"That's Uncle Covonte to you"

Bryson and I both laughed.

"Uncle to who, bruh?" Bryson questioned.

"Y'all playing" Covonte shrugged. "That's why y'all ugly too"

"Girl, I was surprised when you said that you were pregnant. I didn't expect that from you at all" Keisha looked at me.

"Me neither" I admitted.

"Now we got a baby in utero" Bryson mumbled.

That translated to in the womb.

"On some real shit, y'all should name y'all baby Cilantro"

"Or pepper"

"You guys are rude" I shook my head. "Get out of my room" I joked.

Bryson's hand touched my stomach lightly and he kissed the side of my face.

"I love you, boo"

"I mean, I love you too and shit, but don't you think we taking this bromance too far?" Covonte waved his hand in my direction. "You got baggage"

I gasped. "You're so rude Covonte. Hurting my feelings and all"

"You know I'm just playing, Basil. Get out your feelings"

Bryson scratched at something on my face.

"What's this?" He questioned.

I turned around, and my lips brushed against his.

"Nevermind. False alarm"

"Come on, Keisha. We ready to bounce cause they tryna put another baby up in her"

My face twisted into a frown.

I barely even wanted the first one.

"Have fun guys. See you in school" They both got up to leave and when the door closed, Bryson looked at me.

"What was that?"

I was hoping that he didn't see me.

"What was what?"

"That face you made"

"I didn't notice"

"Liar"

"Bryson, please don't be mad at me. I'm trying"

"You shouldn't have to try to love your own child"

"I said that I was trying! I'm sorry that I don't feel the same way about it as you do. I had stuff and growing that I still want to do as an individual before I became a mother. I don't want to put my life on hold for something that I'm not ready for"

"You got almost 8 months to get in the right mindset"

"Don't I know it

"Whatever, man. You're being selfish"

"I don't want to have your child Bryson. Not right now I don't"

I couldn't even describe the look that he gave me.

"It's like that, huh? Okay, Sage"

"I didn't mean-" I stopped talking and closed my mouth.

I did mean it.

Bryson got up and exited my room, slamming the door behind him.

Oh, baby
