Shine For Me (Official Chreets Series)

Chapter 31

"You make me feel like everything is alright..."

(Sweets POV)

Pregnant...I couldn't even wrap my brain around this. We were right in the middle of a tour. Chris's first co-headlining tour and he was having all the success he had always dreamed of plus I was in a happy place doing what I loved: dance! Show after show it felt good hitting the stage with my best friend and seeing the crowd love what we do so to think all of that could be sidelined because of a reckless decision on both of our parts was devastating to me. I mean I never pictured myself as a mom anytime soon especially not at 19 because I felt I had so many goals and dreams I wanted to accomplish first.

I couldn't believe how happy Chris seemed about it all tho. Despite my nervousness we told just the CBE crew but I had to beg Chris not to tell anyone else especially not his mom or Mean-a. I wanted to wait to the right time you know maybe after I actually went into labor! I got cleared by my doctor to continue dancing because I was now in my second trimester. Although he didn't want me to overdo it and I had to stay hydrated. He said dancing was a great form of exercise during the pregnancy which was cool but I had to be realistic about how long I was gonna be able to hide my growing stomach especially in the outfits we wear onstage! So I just decided to cross that bridge when it came.

Things had seem to be going well for Chris and I even tho my mood swings were driving him up the wall. I really felt like the baby had made us closer. I couldn't stop him from waiting on me hand and foot now which makes me feel uncomfortable at times cause I like doing things for myself but he treats me like I'm helpless. UGH! I told him to chill with that cause nosey ass Tina was gonna catch on but he just laughed and continued to do it saying he was gonna be the best Daddy ever!

STUBBORN ASS!

"Man I'm wired!" Chris said being hyper and back flipping in the bed.

"Will you quit before you break the bed silly." I laughed as he came down and almost bounced me on to the floor.

"Woah are you ok?" He asked jumping over quickly to stop me from falling.

"Yes you nut...Just stop flipping!" I said laughing some more.

"Is Daddy baby ok?" He asked talking to my stomach.

"You're so crazy." I said placing my hand on top of his head.

"Hey that book said they can hear you and my baby gonna know me." He said kissing my slightly rounded stomach. "You aarree so beauuutiful to meeeee." He sang.

He was always doing that. He told me he read that singing to the baby makes them smart.

"Aww look at you reading the baby books. Did you study while you were at it?" I asked popping him on top of the head.

"Don't start...Imma catch up." He said kissing my stomach again.

"Why put it off Chris...You gotta finish school. You'll be 18 soon!" I said pushing up in the bed.

"I know that...I'm just chillin right now damn." He said looking up at me. "It's not like I'm dumb...I'm just already doing what I want to do in life so I can finish whenever."

"That's just...Ok fine." I said getting pissed but ready to change the subject.

"I mean why are you trippin? I got this album to finish up and this tour....Then I just signed up do a couple songs with Robs." He said.

"Oh really...Robyn huh?" I asked raising my eyebrow. "So are they still trying to pair ya'll up?" I questioned curiously.

"Iont know I'm just tryna get paid...I mean but she's a really cool chick...real cool..." He said with a slight spacey look and a smile.

And that was the first time my heart sank...

"Yeah she is cool...So how's her boyfriend doing?" I slid in there.

"Pssh...That nigga wack!" He said going to answer his phone.

HE WAS FEELING HER!

And now I was sick to my stomach so I quickly got up and pulled on my basketball shorts and J's.

"Hold on...Where you going?" He asked seeing me putting on my jacket.

"I'm going to my room...Night." I said flatly throwing up the deuces.

"Wait...Wait a minute...Look I'll call you back." He said to me and then into his phone stumbling over the bed. "Hold up...What's wrong?" He asked holding on to my arm.

"I just really want to be alone right now." I said closing my jacket.

"Why? I thought you was stayin with me tonight?" He said trying to hug me.

"Nah I'm good...I'll see you in the morning." I said trying to get around him.

"What you got an attitude? What now...Man I'm sick of this shit every other minute you mad at me for something...Really Sweets? Does it ever stop!" He said raising his voice.

Then we heard a knock on the door. He opened it and it was B-Shaw and Mijo.

"What ya'll arguing bout now?" Mijo asked walkin in the room and kissing me on the cheek. "Ya'll gone make my nephew go deaf!" He said rubbin my stomach.

"Stop...And it's your niece." I said hitting Mijo's and away.

"Ouch...What you mad at me for?" He said confused.

"I don't got time for your shit right now Mijo." I said pushing passed Chris.

"Man whatever!" Chris yelled out behind me. "And I ain't gonna come runnin after your ass either."

"I didn't ask you to...Punk!!" I said as I heard him slam his door.

I closed my door and laid in my bed. Is he fucking her? Are all the rumors true? I had been hearing all types of things in the last 6 months about them meeting up and being spotted together. Hell I even knew about HER people and Tina conveniently having them be at the same places so pictures could be taken of them together. She would say "It's a good look...Creates a buzz for publicity." But no..no...This was something else...This wasn't a rumor or my mind playing tricks on me. He had that look in his eyes. That look he used to have about me and only me.

He was actually feeling her...

I pushed the thought out of my head when I heard my phone ring.

"Hello." I said dryly.

"How you doin Beautiful." I heard Trey sing into the phone.

"What do you want bighead?" I asked rolling my eyes and laughing.

"Just checkin on you...Yo is Chris around?" He asked curiously.

"No I'm in my room...What's up?" I said getting under the covers.

"Oh I just wasn't tryna interrupt ya'll time you know...Not tryna be disrespectful." Trey said sweetly.

"Nah you cool plus I think I'm sleeping alone tonight." I said sighing

"Uh oh...Trouble in paradise I don't even wanna know." He said.

"No we cool...So what you up to? I lied.

"Actually I'm at the studio and was stuck with this hook and I was hoping you could help me through it if that's cool?" He said.

"Yea...What you got?" I asked grabbing my note pad and searching for a pencil.

There was nothing better to relieve my mind than writing a good song. Or just writing period. Plus Trey and I realized we make a damn good writing team. It really was cool to have that person you can shoot the shit with and not have to worry about drama.

OUCH!

Wait what was that...
