Layla POV
"So babe I saw this cute custom at party city I can't wait till Friday. " I said talking about the Halloween party my parents throw every year.
He was on his phone not listening to me.
"Eddie."
"What yeah I heard you"
"Then what I said?"
"Huh?"
"Who is you texting?"
"My sister just wondering if she Good."
"Oh okay. "
I laid on his chest.
Is he really cheating on me ?
•••
"How about this one ?" de said holding a pair of sneakers to match her outfit and her belly is just growing.
"Those are cute." I look at them
"I'll just put them on hold and come back with my baby daddy." She put them down
"About that how is Martin?" I ask as we walk out JC Penny's
"He good." She kept it short
"That's all he not excited to have a mini me?"
"He is....Layla I got to tell you something."
"Umm Okay ." We both stop and turn to each other
"I think Eddie cheating on you."
I scrunch up my face "What."
"Yes I heard him and Martin talking. You should really leave him."
"You know what I think you right .."
"Say what ? " she look shock that I agreed with her
"I'm going to leave Eddie so he can be a father to y'all child."
"What! He told you oh my god ."
Tears fell from my eyes "No. But you just did."
"Layla I'm so sorry. "
"Twelve years of friendship and you do this to me. I knew how you get down but I didn't know that you would do this to your Bestfriend. I hope you and Eddie have a great life." I walk away going to my car and pulling off
••••••
I knock on Chris door praying that Tootie is not home.
"Yo why you crying." He said as soon as he saw me
"I-I. De..Eddie." I said in between tears.
"Shhhh...come in." He pulled me in and closing the door behind me
"Tell me what happened?" He wipe my eyes for me
I cough then told him.
"Dang I guess we both got fuck over." He chuckled
"What you mean." I wipe my nose then look at his slight bruised eye
"Tootie had a friend over when I got home...the babies not mine."
"Why didn't you tell me." I said in shock
He just shrug his shoulders. "You had a boyfriend and I didn't want to cause drama."
"It don't matter at the end of the day you my Bestfriend and I love you. So..you got your ass beat ?" I rub his bruise
"Naw ..ole dude stole off on me ." He chuckled "I miss you." He hug me
I put my head on his shoulder.
"I miss you too."
