Taylor's POV:

I hear knocking on my door as I put the finishing touches of makeup on my face.

"Yes mom?" I answered.

She came in and sat on my bed.

"Baby are you sure you're ready for this?" She asked.

"Yes mom, it's been five months since we broke up and it's time to stop sitting around the house."

"But baby...."

"No mom. I need to get out there. Plus this dude is nice. He approached me like a true gentlemen. So I'm going out with him." I said.

"I know I don't really appreciate all the things that have happened but it's your relationship, and you're telling me that you don't miss him at all?" She asked.

"Of course I do. That's my first love but I just can't go through all of that again."

"Have you at least talked to him?"

"No. He calls me 4 times a day. And every morning he sends me a long paragraph saying how much he loves me and misses me and how much he is sorry. But if he really wanted me back he would go out of his way to prove it. A couple sorries isn't going to get us back together." I said.

"Okay baby. Just make sure you have your pepper spray and I know I can't make you not have sex since you've already done it. Just please use protection.We don't need another incident." She said.

"Mom , this is our first date, I'm not going to have sex." I said.

"Okay. I'll be downstairs." She said. She got up off of my bed and went downstairs.

While putting on my earrings, my phone rang. It was Tori.

"Hey bestie." I answered.

"Hey boo. How are you?"

"I'm good. Just getting ready for my date."

"Oh yeah. So where is he taking you?" She asked.

"To that new restaurant downtown."

"Oh shit the one that everybody keeps trying to get reservations in? Damn my man been trying to get reservations down there forever."

"Girl yes and he is so fine." I said.

"Umm so you don't miss Trav at all?" She asked in a nervous tone.

"Change the subject. I wish everyone would stop asking me about him. Hell he isn't making any real effort to get us back together so I'm not worried." I said.

"But girl he is a fucking wreck." She said.

"Drop it. Now." I said.

"Fine. But I have some news for you...." Tori said.

"What?" I asked.

"You will have a goddaughter or godson in about 4 months!" She said into the phone.

"No way? So you're about 5months ?" I screamed.

"Yes I am."

"Well why the fuck you didn't tell me sooner you whore?"

"Because I didn't want to jinx it."

"Whatever. So what are you going to do about school? And what did your mom say?"

"Well I'm good on school you know I'm a straight A student and my mom said as long as I keep my grades up and do what I'm supposed to do, she's with me through this thing."
