Chapter 25
Jalilah's POV
4 weeks later........
I definitely needed to do something with my life. Now that I was pregnant I felt so lazy some days and the next I felt like I had all of the energy in the world.
I sat at my laptop for two hours straight just thinking what the hell could I do with my life before the baby is born. Then I thought of it......College!!! I needed to finish college before the baby was born definitely.
I wrote things to accomplish before the big B. So far I had:
Shopping
Purchasing items for the baby
Looking for a quick and easy job
Going on vacation
Then lastly I had COLLEGE!!! The big C, the big O and the big everything. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to see Dulamah I hope he had changed his mind about me not going.
I still hadn't told him that I was pregnant and I didn't feel the need to tell him. He'd find out when I was ready to tell him. I called my brother Qasim Ameen and asked him if he had wanted to go to the park and shoot some hoops.
"Really?", he asked. "Yeah really", I told him. "Like really, really, really, really, really?", he asked. "Yeah like really, really, really, really, really", I laughed out. "Okay then Lila. I'll swing on by and pick you up in thirty", he says before hanging up.
Qasim Ameen had gotten his drivers license the same day that my friend Jannah's father took her to get her license. I was happy for them both alhamdulilah.
I quickly texted Dulamah telling him that I'm going somewhere with Qasim Ameen.
Dulamah: where 2?
Me: shoot sum hoops. Basketball man
Dulamah: ok baby, be safe
Me: ok:)
Dulamah: don't get into any fight plz
Me: ok baby. Gotta go. Need to get ready lol
Dulamah: alright mama. Luv ya babe
Me: luv ya back<3
I turned my phone off the sat it beside me. I got up from the computer and headed over to my closet to pick out my outfit.
******************
I stared at my bare naked stomach in the mirror of the bathroom. The bump was showing a little. Hmm.....maybe it was showing a little more than a little. I quickly slipped on clothes then walked out of the bathroom to put on my stretchy sporty abaya.
I placed my wrap around hijab on afterwards then grabbed some black ankle socks from my dressed drawer. After putting the socks on, I walked into the walk in closet and pulled out my brand new Jordan's that I had only wore like once.
I was now again standing in front of a mirror. It was the full length mirror that was hanging on the wall of our closet. "Hey", a voice said from behind me. I spun around to see Qasim Ameen looking at me with a smirk on his face.
A small smile came on my face. I hugged him tightly then kissed his cheek. "Are you okay Lila?", he asked. "Oh yes definitely", I said to him. "Okay. Are you ready to shoot some hoops?", he asked. I nodded my head before twirling around. "First, how do I look?", I asked him.
"The same as always", he replies back. I step out of the closet to grab my big black purse. "Are you serious? How do I look in my outfit? His does the outfit look on me dummy?", I ask. He shrugs before rolling his eyes. "Goodness Jalilah! twirl around once more", he says. I twirl around and he lets out a chuckle. "You look beautiful baby sis", he says.
