Omertà, Aufiero's Return

Chapter 21

The Next Day 

My phone rang for what seems like the first time in forever. I looked at the caller ID and my face lit up like a christmas tree. 

"Hello" I said

"HEY BITCH" 

I smiled as I heard the sound of my best friend's voice. "Hey slut"

"I have missed you so fucking much like oh my god. I have so much to tell you. You wont even believe what Ive been doing these past 2 months"

"Girl, bring you nappy headed ass over here."

"Child, Im already pulling into your subdivision, I'll be there in like 45 seconds"

And with that, she hung up at was at my door. I opened it for her and she embraced me with a warm hug. I could tell by the way she looked, she'd be having the time of her life wherever she was. She pulled me down on the couch. 

"Sooooo, spill" I said. "Well, for starters, I met this dude. His name is Scott. He is so fine man and he's from France bitch. Fucking France. But anyways, Ive been in freaking Strasbourg for the last two months getting my life."

"Wait, youve been in France child. When did you even meet this Scott dude"

"Well, I met him while Mysva and I were still together and he tried to talk to me then but I was like hehe no, I have a boyfrind. He was here doing some studying for something. I cant remember, It was a long time ago but anyways"

She kept rambling continuing her story and I just sat there smiling like a weirdo. Its been a while since Ive talked to her. Especially with everything going on, we just lost connection for a bit. "But to make a long story short, Im pregnant with his child and we've only been together for like 8 weeks" She said. My smile turned into a face of confusion. "How does one even child? What happened to your 90 day rule?"

"I think 8 weeks is 90 days"

I rolled my eyes. "8 times 7 is definitely 56. Which means yall have been together for 56 days. Maybe 60 something depending on where we are in the week which definitely isnt 90 days" I said. 

"Ok, true but, I really dont know what to do. Like, how do I tell him that Im pregnant. He doesnt even live down here. What if he wants me to move to France. I mean, I wouldnt have a problem with it bu-

"JAYLEE" I yell. She closes her mouth. "Look, you just need to tell him. Like today. The longer you wait, the more stress you're putting on yourself so just tell him"

"Can I call him right now and tell him?"

"You should do it face to face."

"Im just really nervous"

"Of course but try not to be. And if he doesnt wanna be there for you, you know Im here and I always have your back"

"Yasssss, I know, I know"

I smile and she does too. "But whats been going on with you and Aufiero?" Sighing, I began to explain to her everything that had happened these past few weeks. "Girl, you life is like a book" 

"I know right. Its crazy how some stuff happens. I never wouldve thought my life would be like this"

"You should write a book, like a memoir"

"How? I mean, my husband was in the mafia. I cant put that in a book"

"Well, you dont have to say he was in the mafia. You could be like he was in this busin-

"No" I say cutting her off. "Party pooper" She says. "Where is Aufiero anyways?" I shrugged. "I think he went to go get Noni but knowing them, they're probably somewhere having fun without me"
