Pick A Side

Chapter 36

Melanie POV

"No, I got my own money. I just want casual sex every now and then."

"I gotta wife, I can not-."I refused but she started talking over me.

"I don't care, and you don't have a choice. I'm gonna kill them both if you don't."

"I dare you."

"Shut up."She pounced on me, pulling my sweatpants down.

I huffed, this was not going as planned. She took it upon herself to strap me up.

"Follow my rules, this wouldn't happen."She threw her head back, riding me.

"I got a family you're ruining."I uttered.

"Family this, family that. Shut up about your stupid family."

Once she said that, I said nothing. I felt horrible about this but she was pushing it. I've heard about some of the shit she's done around town, she's crazy as hell from what people say. I wouldn't put this past her. I tuned out her noises but was pulled away from my thoughts when my phone rang.

"Oh look at that, it's your bitch calling."She threw the phone at my head.

"You gonna pay for this shit Mackenzie!"I screamed, shoving her off me. I answered the phone and put it to my ear without saying anything.

"Baby? You're taking sooo long, I wanna go get back inna bed."She whined.

I yanked her strapon off, breaking it in the process as I roughly pulled my pants up. I threw the strapon at Mackenzie's face and stormed out.

"Melanie? Where are you?"Mille asked once she noticed I wasn't saying anything. "I went looking for you in the club but people said they didn't see you anywhere. Are you okay?"She went on.

"Bitch are you gonna stop talking."I snapped as I walked to the car. The line went dead, indicating that she hung up.

"Shit,"I mumbled, regretting what I just said to her. I got in and slammed the car door.

"Are you okay?"She asked.

"Obviously I'm not if I just slammed the door."I said.

"Whatever, I shouldn't even check on your ass after what you said over the phone. You woke Nessa up, now she's kicking and playing with my ribs again."She turned away, facing the window.

"I'm sorry."I muttered, stopping at the light.

"Just take me home."

Shit, I thought. I pulled off once the light turned green. I sat pondering, barely paying attention to what I was doing. I knew I was driving and what I was doing, but I wasn't actually paying attention.

"Mel, the fuck are you doing! You just side swiped a car."Mille yelled, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Oh hell."

I sped off, entering our subdivision.

"What happened back there? Something's bothering you, I know it."She asked.

"Nothing you should worry that pretty lil head about."I replied. This pregnancy has been a breeze so far and I refuse to put a strain on that by telling Mille what's going on. This is something I have to deal with on my own. I just don't want her stressing over something that she has no room to even try to fix.

I know her parents gave her a few people to call on if she ever got into some sticky shit but this is my problem. I've always dealt with my problems on my own, no use not doing it now.
