MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 14

Imani's POV

It's been 2 weeks since I last seen Shaye cause I got the job at Wells Fargo. Though I only work Monday-Thursday I haven't had time to do anything or I'm always with Chris cause that nigga never goes home. So I decided to pay her & my baby MaKaiah a visit & she wanted my to do her hair

"I swear this little girl is spoiled already. She don't do nothing but cry unless we're holding her," Shaye said rocking MaKaiah who just got done crying cause Shaye laid her down in the swing

"Ya'll been doing nothing since she was born but holding her, so what you expect. But she's getting bigger already," I said tightening Shaye's sew-in cause its been a while

"She had her first doctor's appointment last week & actually she lost weight the first week from her birth weight. She was 7lbs 2oz, but now she 8lbs 5oz so she's gaining with her cute self. Looking like her damn daddy already," Shaye said kissing MaKaiah's face

"I like chunky babies, but girl what's been up. I ain't talked to you in 3 days or seen you in 2 weeks," I said still doing her hair

"That's yo fault, cause you're the one that's been so busy since you got a new job & a man. You don't have time for me no more," Shaye said faking like she was hurt

"Don't even act like that, cause I do be at work. Chris  is always at my house but you can call & text me back. Come over hell which you never do," I said honestly

"Cause, I don't be having time to do nothing with MaKaiah. When she's sleep or when Mike takes her I try to get as much sleep as I can, clean up, take a shower, hell eat cause I don't even have time for that. She always wants me to hold her. You see she ain't let me put her down yet," Shaye said putting the pacifier in MaKaiah's mouth cause she was starting to stir around again

"I see, but you need to see if Mike will babysit so we can go out like old times. Put on our freak-um dresses & get wasted. It's Memorial Day weekend so you know the city will be lit," I suggested

"Hell yea girl we can do that cause my mama wants to keep her tomorrow anyways. I told her be my guest, but girl I'm gone have to put on some spanks cause this stomach still ain't right yet. I might find MaKaiah a step-father so I gotta look my best " Shaye said patting her nonexistent stomach

"Shaye shut up, cause you just had a baby & yo stomach still flatter than mine. Mike ain't having that, he's not letting you find another man to take his place" I said getting ready to curl her hair

"I don't give a fuck what Mike ain't having. Like I said he can lick my ass crack, but I hope him & his boys don't be there tomorrow. I already get enough living with him. I don't wanna see him when I'm supposed to be kicking it finding a new man" she said shaking her head

"I don't know, cause you know him & Chris know everybody & be at all the clubs all over Atlanta. Chris didn't say nothing about that party but who knows" I said truthfully you would think they were party promoters. 

"That's only cause people be leaving flyers in the barber shop cause they lame for real. But how did dinner with you & Chris go. Did you jump is bone afterwards," Shaye asked putting a bottle in MaKaiah's mouth cause she was waking up

"No," I responded fast with a smirk on my face & I guess she saw my reflection through the big mirror Mike has on his wall, don't ask. that nigga is conceded & has mirrors everywhere cause he like to look at himself

"Bitch, you are a lie. I see yo face," she said turning towards me. "Did ya'll have sex," she asked me 

"Turn yo big head ass around, so I can finish. No we didn't have sex, buttttt," I said stressing the t in that
