MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 23

Imani's POV

It was Saturday morning & my bday is on Thursday. Me & Chris are leaving for Cleveland on Monday morning. Shaye took me out yesterday since I won't be here for my actual birthday. Lets just say I'm paying for it this morning, she finally moved in her apartment & I crashed there

"Oh my fucking gosh. My fucking head hurt," I said curled up in a blanket sitting at the kitchen table looking like a bum with Chris' hoodie & seat pants on I stole

"Girl, you went in yesterday. I'm surprised you were even able to wake up this morning," Shaye told me eating a bagel

"Me either. Why did you let me drink all that stuff last night. Let me have a bite" I asked she held the bagel to my mouth for me to bite 

"I didn't you did it on your own. I mean I was drunk but never did I get fucked up as bad as you," she said sitting the bagel down going in the cabinet. "Here goes some Tylenol take these," she said handing me the pill bottle then going back to eating her bagel

"Can you get me some water," I asked opening the bottle getting 2 pills out 

She got me the water & I took the pills. Then I laid in her bed for a minute until she came & bothered me

"I'm salty I'm not going to Cleveland with you. I need a vacation but I can't leave my baby for that long," she said

"When she gets a little older we can take a trip. I told Chasity when she comes back we would do something. Maybe when she goes on winter break cause she wanna go to Miami," I said moving my head on her legs

"I love Miami. I ain't been there since me & Mike went the summer before college. But when does Chasity leave," she asked me 

"Chris drove her back early this morning cause she didn't wanna fly by herself. He should be back later on tonight. He texted me this morning before they left," I said. I'm gone miss Chas. That's my new baby even though she's 16 & as big as me. I love that girl

"He's a good one cause that drive is boring. Then for him to turn right back around & drive back," Shaye said

"Yea, but you know Chasity is his baby too. He will do anything for her. But shut up cause I'm trying to sleep & my head still hurts," I said pulling the blanket up some

"Um heffa this is my house & you're on my legs, in my bed. So don't tell me to shut up for I beat that ass," Shaye said smacking my butt

"OMG, you get on my nerves," I said smacking her leg after she hit me 

"I'm sorry boo. You want me to massage it," Shaye asked rubbing on my booty 

"Bitch, get the fuck off me. I swear I knew you liked girls for real. Mike was just a cover up," I joked

"Bitch please. What can a girl do for me. I love dick too much even though I don't gotta man right now. I'm gone find me some dick though & a fat long one too," she said & I laughed

"You are dumb. But isn't Mike supposed to bring MaKaiah's home today," I asked

"No. I'm a let him keep her this til Monday. He asked & you know when he gets MJ, he get her too. I never really let her stay cause I don't trust him. Now that he's all buddy, buddy with Sasha. She's supposedly pregnant by him. So I don't really want her over there," she said

"I don't blame you, but are you sure Mike is really the father or if she really pregnant. We all know she gets around. If she is pregnant how she gone work to get the only money she knows how," I said
