No Love

The real you

Three Months Later.....

"So are you going home for Thanksgiving break?" Jessica asked as we grabbed our lunch from the college cafeteria. Jessica was a cool white girl from New York and my roommate in my dorm room.

"I don't know, right now I just want to focus on my exams and getting over this cold" I replied

"Hell No Angel, I know your not still tripping on that nigga that you fell in love with over the summer and hasn't hit you up since you been back in school?" looking up at Jessica realizing how high her voice went and how she used the word nigga, which was cool she was the only white girl I allowed to use that word.

"What! hell no Jessica I'm over that, matter of fact I'll go with you tonight to the step battle" I replied gathering my things as usual I was getting sick to my stomach yet again. If I wasn't sick I was eating the weirdest shit all the time. I took a pregnancy test two months ago and it was negative, but something wasn't right due that I been gaining weight in my hips and ass area.

"Wait I can't go I don't have anything to wear, all my clothes are too damn small" I replied looking down at my sweats I wore to class today.

"I told your ass to chill on the late night eating your ass got a little gut coming too, I don't know but maybe you should hit the gym with me and your not coming to no battle with me blowing your nose and looking sick?" Jessica replied

"Shit up girl, I may just go see the nurse to get something to clear this nasty cold, imma holla at you later" I spoke walking to the on campus nurse area.

As I turned the corner to the office not paying attention I bumped into someone dropping all my books.

"Oh my bad shawty I got them for you" I heard a deep voice speak as he dropped low to help me grab the books. Noticing that voice immediately I looked up as Daniel handed me my dropped books. Looking into his eyes with a confused look my words became mute.

"I know this shit looks crazy right!" Daniel spoke breaking my thoughts

"Well not actually since you had a scholarship to come here, I just thought you gave up on college and was in the streets?" I replied

"Yea well shit happens Angel, and I made a promise to my pops that I would go to college and graduate and since he has Cancer I need to make good on that promise, ya know. Plus it's time to come kick it with my uncle cream and family from this way."

"Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that, I can't believe your father is sick he's such a sweet man why didn't you tell me you were here?" I asked

"I came a little after August, figured I'd run into you one day wasn't trying to sweat you and make your man mad because you know you'll always be mine Angel" Daniel spoke walking closer towards me. I could smell his Versace cologne fill my nostrils

"A nigga fucked up a good thing but I was young and dumb baby girl"

"Daniel, I get that we all make mistakes but....." my sentence was cut short as I sneezed getting some of it on him due that he was close to me.

"Oh my god I am so sorry Daniel" I damn near yelled wiping his shirt as he grabbed my hand.

"It's fine Angel, but are you ok you feel warm as hell" Daniel spoke placing his hand to feel my forehead.

"Yeah I was just heading to the nurse office"

"Well I'll walk you there let's go" he spoke grabbing my books from me as we walked towards the building. Noticing the sign in sheet I wrote my name down and took a seat in the waiting room.
