Tahj POV
As soon as Amber pulled up I hopped into her truck real quick. "Um no girl, you're gonna have to explain to me why I picked you up from the abortion clinic." I took a deep breath before explaining my entire situation to her from my difficulty of not finding a job and feeling helpless to meeting Malik and getting a job. "You know Tahj, it really hurts that you didn't feel as if you could confide in me, I'm your bestfriend and you know I would do anything to help you out." "Yea I know and that's exactly why I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about my B.S." She looked at me with saddened eyes and turned her attention back on the road.
Amber POV
Now don't get me wrong, I understand where she's coming from but I still kind of feel hurt. Ever since she got fired from the diner she hasn't hit me up and I'm trying to wonder if it's because she's mad at me or because she really doesn't want me to worry. I don't know if I'm also being a bad friend because I should have checked up on her knowing what she's going through. I guess I'm more upset at myself for not even realizing what type of demons she was battling. "Look Tahj, don't think I'm mad at you. I'm just annoyed with myself for not seeing this sooner. And regardless of anything open up to me that's what I'm here for. "Yeah I know you're right. Love you Amb and thanks for dropping me home." "No problem and love ya too girl", I retorted as I watched her walk into her building.
Tahj POV
It's been a month since I left the clinic and guess what? Malik's connections pulled through (no surprise since his mother owns the place) and I started working there 3 weeks ago. It's a cute little restaurant where I work as the hostess instead of a waitress so I'm not walking up and down as much, thank you god! And surprisingly Malik and I have kept in touch. He's pretty funny and uplifting. He's always checking up on me and I appreciate him so much for that.
"Okay Amb I got you, that's why you hate niggas lol. I'm going to call you back I'm meeting Malik." "Mmhm yeah whateva bitch tell ya lil boyfriend I said hi." And on that note I hung up the phone lightly laughing. As I entered subways I turned my head and spotted the resting bitch face of Malik. "Damn boy who pissed in your face this morning?" "Hey Ms. 4 months and nothing you know my face just rest like this." "Yeah yeah yeah whatever....is that sandwich mine?" "Dayum with yo fat ass and yes it's yours now let's go before we're late because I don't want to hear how it's my fault." I grabbed my food and made my way towards his car. Now I bet you're thinking "damn girl he couldn't have picked you up?" He offered to pick me up, I just declined the offer.
We pulled up to my doctor's office and made our way inside. "You can go find seats I'm just going to sign myself in." As I finished writing down my name and chit chatting with the receptionist I made my way back to Malik. "So this is what the inside of these offices look like." "Yes lil negro did you think it was some third planet?" "Yo don't rank on me but I kind of did. I expected a lot of pregnant pictures on the wall and fake big bellies everywhere." "Yeah you're stupid Malik, just stop talking." And before he could respond I was called up and led to a room. "Hey hey Ms. Tahj how's the pregnancy going?" "Hi Dr. White, it's going pretty good." "Yay that's what I like to here.And you must be the proud papa." "Uhh no that's not-" and before I could finish my statement Malik chimed in by saying "yeah I am."
