I Got Love For A Thug

Someone new?

Next morning..

Dartez,

I woke up extra early to cook August breakfast before i went to work. I got a job at Starbucks. I didnt tell August yet because i wanted to surprise him about it. I saw him coming down the stairs as i put the plate onto the table. He came over and gave me a kiss. He strangely looked me up and down in my uniform.

"You got a job?" he asked. "Yes! Im working at Starbucks. Arent you proud of your baby?" i told him with my hands around his neck. "No. You acting like i cant support you. You dont need no job. You pregnant." he complained. "Its only temporary. I just want a couple of dollars that i actually earned!" i told him. He should be happy that im trying to help out.

"Alright but this shit wont last no more than a month." he said. I rolled my eyes and walked out. He ruffly smacked my ass. "Dont trip girl." he told me as he bit down on his bottom lip. I cant mess around with him. I have less than 15 minutes to get to work.

At Starbucks..

I clocked in and started doing my job. I worked on the register and fixed coffee. As i handed the lady her coffee, i was getting ready to head to the back. "Excuse me." i heard and i looked up to see this sexy ass guy in my presents. He had brown skin, full lips, with dreadlocks that hang down under his shoulders. He was cute as hell. But i was wondering what he was doing in here buying coffee..

"Yeah?" i asked him getting ready to take his order. "Can i get an iced coffee with some donuts and your number on the side." he said. My head shot up at him and i blushed. I think he was serious when he asked for my number though. "Coming right up." i said smirking. I went to the machine and fixed his coffee and got got him somw freshly made donuts. I handed it to him. "Stay here, ill be right back." then i ran off to the back. I came back with a pin and wrote my number down on his palm. "Text me at 6:30. Ill be off by then." i told him. "Ight but whats your name ma." "Dartez." i told him then he left out with his coffee and donuts in his hands. I noticed that he had left a hundred

dollar bill on the counter. It kinda made me smile. The rest of the day was over and i was finally off work! Today was a busy day. You never stop moving. Your constantly taking orders and making coffee. This lil job had me beat down and

being pregnant didnt make it any better on me.

Later...

I checked my phone before i pulled out the parking lot. I had five messages from Chris, August, Deedy, Aaliyah and an unknown number. I read August message first.

August: Ill be out a lil late handling business bae. I love you.

Deedy: Call me when your able

Aaliyah: Hope you dont have plans Saturday. The strip club sounds great!

Chris: Bestfriend, come over.

Unknown: Whats good ma. Its Xavier/ Zay from the shop.

I texted everyone back except August. Im tired of him and that bullshit he calls work. But i wont start anything about it. I texted Chris and told him i would be over shortly. Me and Aaliyah gonna have to talk. A strip club a lil too much. Did she forget i was five months pregnant??

Chris's place...

I knocked and Chris greeted me with a welcoming hug. I walked in and took a seat on his sofa. He was smiling but i could tell something was up with him. He looked as if he was sad but was hiding it.

"Chris are you okay? Your not acting like yourself." i questioned. "Nah im good. I just wanted to see you." he told me looking into my eyes with lust. I looked away. Chris moved closer to me and took his index finger and turned my head back towards him. "Why you acting like you shy around me all a sudden?" he asked and licked his lips. "Maybe because i am." i answered with attitude. "Dont be." he responded.

"Chris you know you can tell me anything thats on your mind, right?" i asked him. I could fell that something had been bothering him. He signed and looked at the floor. "My moms dying, man. She has breast cancer." he came out with. I saw a tear exscape his eye. I moved into him and wrapped my arms around him for comfort. "I completely understand. I just found out my dad has breat cancer.. We can both help eachother out." i told him, drying up the tears. Seeing Chris cry in front of me had me amazed but i was kind of hurt. It also told me that he cared for me. What guy you know that would cry infront of you unless you two are really close??

I kissed his cheek not understanding why i felt the need to. "Im sorry. I got carried away" i said afterwards feeling stupid. "Nah... it-- its okay." he leaned in and kissed my lips. His lips were softer than i imagined. I felt his tongue slip in my mouth. I let a moan out in his mouth then finally grasped what i was doing. I pulled away and stood up. "I have to go. It is all wrong!" i said. I ran out the door as i heard Chris calling my name. I couldnt be there any longer.

I knew this would be eating at me until i told SOMEONE! Me and Chris, kissing? eachother? It felt unreal. I couldn't believe that i had just cheated on my boyfriend. I had to talk to someone. I called Aaliyah and she answered on the second ring. "Hey baby!" "Meet me at my place. I have news for you." i said then hung up. I knew Aaliyah's slow ass was getting ready to play twenty million questions with me.
