Bedroom Boom

Chapter 25

 "What reason do you have to complain Telay? Every bitch in the city wants Taste and you got him. This is what you wanted. I know he ain't perfect but Taste really is not a bad man, he's just a fucking nutcase." Pepsi laughed.

"But he is a fine ass nutcase! He takes care of you and provides you with more than enough. He treats you like a Queen for real. Come on Lay, this nigga got you riding in a Maybach coupe. It's bitches that would give their life to wear your shoes for one day. I would be happy to have his baby." Tiny admitted to Telay while they sat in the hospital lobby, waiting to see Telay's son for the first time. Though Tiny was one of the many stylists who worked for Pepsi and Telay, she and Pepsi had become close because Pepsi spent her "Party-time" with her since Telay insisted on spending every moment with Taste.

"I don't even get to drive that fucking car. He always got some damn chauffer driving me around. I'm sick of this shit. I just need to take a break from him." Telay confessed.

"Well maybe you should try to talk to him about it." Pepsi suggested.

Telay and Tiny looked at her as if she had seven heads. "Pepsi, seriously? Are you stupid or just plain dumb? You want me to tell Taste that I need some space? He might put me six feet under him." They all laughed, but they knew there was a lot of truth in that statement.

"You do have a point. But you can't just run every time something doesn't go your way. You have a baby you have to think about now. That baby inside you needs a mother and father. Taste may be a handful, but he loves you and he will be a great dad. He's like a kid in the candy store every time he even thinks about that baby. Just give it a chance."

"I know Pepsi. He really is good to me. I don't want to leave him and have to start over with someone new. He is just suffocating at times, he's overprotective and insecure. I can't even drive my own car to the store because he thinks something is going on. This is not the life I set out to have for myself." Telay paused before finishing her statement. She did not want to risk Tiny spreading her business to everyone. She definitely didn't want anyone to see that she wasn't happy. "Every relationship has it's problems including us but that's my baby. He does everything for me. I ain't ever leaving him. Shit, I'm happy to be having this baby."

"Telay Venterra?" The Indian doctor called out, scanning the room for her.

She raised her hand and got up to follow him to a nearby room.

"Hello Mrs. Venterra, how are you doing today?"

"I'm ready to get this little guy out of me. He has my emotions going crazy," she responded.

The doctor laughed at the familiar response. After checking her vitals, he rubbed a cold gel on Telay's stomach and began the ultra sound. "There you are!" He spoke to the baby when the baby was spotted on the monitor. Everyone rose up to see the baby that had been growing inside of Telay for the past six months. Telay looked at the child she had created. She had already grown to love the baby inside her. Staring at the baby made her realize how grateful she was that God had blessed her with a child and a man who loved her unconditionally, even though sometimes she wanted to kill him. She vowed to herself that she would be the best wife and mother she could be to Taste and their child. She thought of reasons to appreciate Taste's insecurities and his overprotective ways instead of hating them. A tear slid down her face when she considered how ungrateful and selfish she felt. Sure, her relationship with Taste was not perfect, but what relationship was? She had everything she wanted with Taste and she was sure that if she could find out what caused him to lose his temper, she would be able to prevent any more fights in their future. All she had to do was keep him happy.
