This Means Forever

Chp 7

Leila

It was a wednesday at the daycare. I was probaly the most tired person in the world right now. These damn kids were finally taking a nap. I was standing at the check-in desk with a girl who worked for us named Shayla. We were talking about payments when Bethany walked in with Andres two steps behind. This shit was going to be too fun.

"Hey Leila girl what's up!" Bethany ran over and hugged me. Andres looked up like he had just seen a ghost. I swear he shitted on his self. Bethany grabbed his arm and pulled him to the counter.

"Baby this is my homegirl Leila." I smiled at Andres. You could see how uncomfortable he was. I was dying laughing on the inside.

"Hi I'm Leila. Girl Jamie looks exactly like him." Andres gripped my hand so firm I thought he was gon break that bitch. I wasn't about to play with this fucking boy!

Sarabi walked in with sleepy Alexander ad Jamie. She looked between the three of us and started laughing. "Well hello there Andres!" Bethany jumped back as if she was surprised.

"Yall know each other?" I looked back and Sarabi and then at Andres. He had this 'Bitch you better not look on his face'. I smiled and nodded towards Andres. He clenched his jaw.

"Yea bae their dad is Antonio. The one Messiah cut a deal with!". I smiled. Andres picked Jamie up and turned towards the door, "Babe let's go!"

Bethany smiled and waved as they all walked out. As soon as the door shut me, Shayla, and Sarabi busted out laughing. Sarabi high-fived me as I walked out and went into my office. I really stopped caring about Andres and his marriage. I sat back in my chair and rubbed my belly. I know it may sound fucked up, but I really don't want this baby. I had an appointment with Planned ParentHood in two hours. Yes, I'm thinking about abortion. Well I'm going to take a doctor's blood test first to confirm my pregnancy, and see where we go from there.

My phone interrupted my thoughts. It started vibrating, signaling that I had a text. I looked down and saw Zay on my screen.

Okay so me and Zay met at the pool party before the shit popped off. Me and Bethany were sitting at the table talking when Sarabi and Messiah went inside. Zay walked over. He is about 6'2 milk chocolat skin. He was rocking his taper fade. He has straight white teeth, and when he smiled and I saw those dimples I instantly wet myself. Bethany introduced us and we hit it off immediatly.  He had on some all black basketball short, with his black socks, and his jordan slides. I couldn't take my eyes off him as I admired all his tattoos. He had a chest piece, and both of his arms were covered. His damn back had tattoos. Bethany was grinning the whole damn time. Her ass faked like she had something to do and got up and left us.

I learned he is a year younger than Messiah making him 22. His favorite color is Black. He drives a all black Camaro. He just moved here from Virgnia, coming down to replace Andres. He is a country boy. This man is just my damn dream. He has no kids and lives in a condo downtown. Lord help me not lose this one. After talking for about an hour we were inseperable. I can tell he is a little possesive.When my phone rang he sat back in his chair and grew way too silent. He looked at me out the corner of his eye. But I could deal with that.

I picked up my phone to reply to his text.
