She Saved Him

I Wasn't Expecting To Wake Up And See My Good Friend, Diamond, Here At My House. Yeah We've Been Keeping In Touch And All, But I Never Mentioned To Her Where I Was Or Where I Was Now Living.

"So How'd You Find Me?" I Asked.

"Dex Called Me And Invited Me Down Here. He Said You Missed Working At The Strip Club." She Said.

"No...I Just Miss Making That Fast Money, But Wow...I'm Surprised Leon Gave You Some Time Off." I Said. Leon Was The Strip Club Manager Who Always Acted As If He Owned You. I Definitely Didn't Miss His Black, Funky Breathed Ass!

"Girl Bye! I Own Leon's Ass So He Had No Choice! And Right...We Do Make That Fast Money, But You Can't Make No Fast Money Anymore. I Can't Believe You're Pregnant! And Engaged! That's Crazy." She Said.

"How'd You Know I Was Engaged?" I Asked. I Never Told Diamond Or Anyone Else That I Was Engaged. I Only Told My Mom And India.

"Girl Your Proposal Is All Over YouTube!" She Said. She Pulled Out Her Phone And Went To YouTube To Show Me The Video. I Couldn't Help But To Smile As I Watched One Of The Most Happiest Moments Of My Life On This Video.

"I Can't Believe You Got That Nigga Dex To Pop The Question Though! Back In The Day He Was So Serious About Not Settling Down, And Yet Here He Is...Engaged To You With His First Baby On The Way." She Said. For Some Reason, Her Voice Had A Hint Of Jealousy In It, But I Ignored It. I Knew Her And Dex Use To Mess Around Back In The Day, But They Both Claimed It Was Nothing Serious. Well...Dex Claimed It Wasn't Serious, But I Honestly Think That Diamond Caught Feelings.

"I Know And This Is Basically His Second Child. He Has Always Been Like A Father To SaMiyah." I Said.

"Yeah I Know That, But The Truth Of The Matter Is...Semaj Is Her Real Daddy And If He Found Out That She Was Calling Dex Daddy...He'd Kill All Three Of You." She Said. I Eyed Her Suspiciously While Her Eyes Were Glued To Her Phone. What The Hell Was Her Point? And Why Was She Talking As If She Didn't Know Me And Semaj's Past.

"Semaj Has Never Been Anything To SaMiyah But Her Sperm Doner! Dex Has ALWAYS Been Like Her Daddy." I Said. She Looked Up From Her Phone And Rubbed My Shoulder.

"I Know Baby Girl. I'm Just Speaking Facts. Now...Enough Baby Daddy Drama Talk. I Have A Surprise For You, But First...Let Me Go Grab My Bag From The Car." She Said. She Got Up And Headed Outside, While I Just Sat There Dumbfounded. Did This Bitch Just Try And Throw Some Shade? I Got Up From The Couch And Headed Upstairs To Me And Dex's Bedroom. He Was Laying On The Bed, With One Arm Behind His Head, And His Other Hand Tucked At The Waistband Of His Boxers.

"Y'all Done Having Y'all Girl Time Already?" He Asked.

"No...She Went Outside To Grab Her Bag." I Said.

"What's Wrong?" He Asked.

"I Don't Know. I Just Got A Bad Feeling That Something Bad Is About To Happen." I Said.

"Something Like What?" He Asked, Sitting Up In The Bed.

"I Really Don't Know." I Said. He Stood Up And Walked Over To Me.

"It's Probably Just Your Hormones Fucking With Ya. Ain't Nothing Going To Happen To You, Me, SaMiyah, Or Lil Mama Aight? Just Relax And Go Spend Some Time With Ya Friend." He Said, Kissing My Lips. Though Dex Makes Me Feel Safe, I Still Wasn't Convinced. Something Bad Was Definitely About To Happen And I Wanted To Be Prepared For Whatever "It" Is.
