Pick A Side

Chapter 35

Melanie POV

"M-my baby..."I mumbled. Mackenzie nodded, taking off my clothes.

I sighed, poking my lip out. I will not let this bitch blackmail me and get away with it. At the same time, I refuse to let my growing family suffer for what I'd gotten myself into.

"Come on,"She pushed my head down towards her pussy. I stuck my tongue out, faking like I was about to lick her. Instead, I bit the fuck outta her pee hole. She let out a scream. "Go fuck yourself!"I spat. "And if you ever think about blackmailing me ever again, it's lights out."I warned, hopping that was the end of her. But it wasn't...!

"You're twenty minutes late. How was the club?"Mille asked. The house was dark, so I didn't know where she was at. The lights flicked on.

"I'm sorry bebeh!"

"What's your excuse this time?"

"I got in a scuffle with somebody at the club."

"Oh really,"

I followed her up the stairs and to our room. "Yeah. I'm too tired to talk about it right now."I shut the conversation down and took off my clothes.

I changed into nightwear and shut my eyes to go to sleep.

~~~

"I made you breakfast. Eat then get ready for our appointment."Mille said as she shook me to wake me up.

I sat up and placed the tray of food in my lap. I silently ate the breakfast she made, then showered and brushed my teeth. I got dressed and pulled my hair into a bun.

From what happened last night, early this morning, I think I got this stranger bitch Mackenzie off my back. But I need to know how she has Kamille's number if she doesn't even have mine.

"Do you know anyone named Mackenzie?"I asked out of the blue as I backed out of our driveway. "No, why?"She asked, looking up from her phone. "Just askin'."I replied.

Mille knew nothing of this Kenzie chick and I planned on keeping it that way until I figure out how to get rid of her. Shit...

"Aye you need to change ya number."I said as I turned left.

"Okay,"

I loved that she never asked questions. Mille went with the flow of things.

We pulled up to the place and got out. Mille was slowly reaching eight months but looked like she was going to pop any day now. I held her hand and walked inside with her.

"Ms.Anderson can take you two back now."The receptionist smiled. We went to the room and I watched as Karlina, the obgyn, get Mille ready for the new ultrasound.

"Have you two picked out names yet?"

"Yeah, Vanessa Hazel Summers."I recited the name Mille and I came up with months ago. Mille thought the name "Vanessa" was cute because of the nickname "Nessa", it would be easy for people to say. I thought to name her "Hazel" because it would most likely resemble the color of her eyes since both of us had brown eyes.

"That sounds beautiful. She's going to be a household name just like her parents."Karlina chuckled. I small smiled.

"Here's her head. I bet she gets that big head from you."Karlina nodded at me.

"Her heart beat looks and sounds perfect. The body is developing well. You're lookin' at December fourteenth to be exact."

"Oh my gawd!"

"Yes, it's coming closer by the day."

"Ain't comin' fast enough. Doc, when we ca' start back having sex?"I butted.

"Six weeks,"they said in unison. "Or longer if you start actin' crazy."Mille asked. I smacked my lips and turned back to the machine.

We left the place and went back home. "When's your gig?"I repeated, folding my legs criss cross as I got comfortable on the bed.

Mille did the same, her back facing the window. "Tomorrow."

"You know I have work tomorrow."I whined.

"I know but I figured you could pull a few strings."

"I'ma come. I'll just call in sick."I sighed.

"That's my girl, gimme kisses."She smiled, leaning inward. I pecked her lips a few times before pulling away.

"You know, maybe I should come to work with you tomorrow."

"That's not a good idea."

"Why not?"She frowned.

"You not gon' be 'round me. I'm performing knee surgery all day."I said.

"I don't care. I want to,"She smiled which made me smile until something by the open window caught my eye. I glanced at it a few times, seeing Mackenzie stand outside the window.

A gun waved around in her hand, she pointed to Mille and mouthed a "pow/bang". How the fuck did she get on this side of town! It's for the rich and wealthy and far away from the club she works at.

I got up and went over to the window. Thankfully, Mille was occupied by something on her phone so she wouldn't notice. I was about to slam the window shut when my phone dinged. After locking the window, I picked it up. A text message.

225-327-1932
I will kill her

I rolled my eyes, already knowing who that was. Mackenzie!

225-327-1932
And that baby
Meet me at Onyx tonight, they live

What the fuck yo! I got work in the morning, no time for clubbing. I huffed to myself, I have to go. I'll go but only to set this motherfucker straight.

I see I'll have to tighten up on security around here. Addis, where we reside at the moment is way different from Baton Rouge, where we used to live. It's less violence and that's what we don't need.

To make time pass, Mille and I moved furniture around in the baby room to our liking. We had it painted from the original beige to white to match the furniture. We already had clothes, shoes, hair stuff and other essential necessities the baby needed, waiting to be used.

"Where are we going?"Mille asked for the third time as I sped down the freeway.

"Onyx? Why are we here?"She asked once I parked.

"I'm late picking up a friend. I was supposed to bring them home. Just wait here for me."I lied, getting out of the BMW.

I waited until I was inside the building to prep myself. I came here to set this bitch straight and leave. It needed to be quick so Mille wouldn't get suspicious and come inside to look for me.

I went straight to the back and into one of the private rooms. "Look here bitch!"I started, pulling out my ruger.

"How did you find my house?"I asked with my foot on her chest. "I followed you home that night."She confessed. "You're going to stay away from my family, my house and me! Or I kill you."

"I'll stay away,"She started but grabbed my foot, slanging me to the floor. My gun flew across the room and so did my wallet.

She smirked, picking up the wallet and looked inside.

"Quite some money you walkin' around with."She said, referring to the chump change-1,300 to be exact- I had stored inside.

"If that's what you want, take it."I said, still on the floor.

"Nah, I got my own money. I just want casual sex every now and then."
