MIXED EMOTIONS

19. CATCH UP

I blinked slowly trying to comprehend what he just said... But I couldn't. A baby? Right now? With her? But WHY?! 

"Really? Why Dad?" I raised my voice. 

He scrunched his eyebrows. "I thought you'd be happy now that you're not the only child..." 

"NO! I'm not happy, Dad! Why her?!" 

"Chanel, STOP!" He yelled, making people turn and stare. "I'm happy and so is Mel. And we're having this baby!" 

I was boiling! And anything I could say right now would probably cause a scene, So I left the table and walked out the Cafe enraged. 

I didn't Melanie to be around for much longer then this. And now they're having a baby? Does my father even love the girl? It's not like I don't want my dad to be happy. I just wished he picked someone better. More suitable for me. Someone I could get along with fine. But she's the total opposite. As far as right now, I wanted  nothing to do with this family. 

                                                                                          ~~~

I drove around, till I made it back home again. I was glad no one was home. With the news that my dad claimed that was "good" and my mothers ungrateful self, I didn't feel like arguing and fussing with anyone... I didn't have any energy. 

I was getting ready to hop in the shower when my phone rung. I immediately started cheesing when I seen it was Jayden. 

"Hey, whats up?" I beamed. 

"You, that's whats up. What are you doing today?" 

"Nothing much. Why?" 

"I wanted to spend some time with you." I smiled. It wouldn't hurt to spend some time with Jayden at all. 

I ended the call, excited about seeing him. We decided to go on a movie date. Nothing too over the top. 

I hurried and got ready. I put on a pair of black high waisted shorts along with a black sleeveless crop top. Straightened my hair and put on light make-up. Then I headed out the door! 

Is it bad that I'm too excited to see my ex-boyfriend? 

                                                                               ~~~

"Boy, please! You know you liked the movie!" I said laughing. The whole time I was with Jayden, I felt so relaxed and happy. 

"It was aight. But I'm not watching another chick flick again ever again." Jayden smiled down at me. He intertwined our fingers and led me to his car. 

We were driving, then stopped at a red light. I could feel him staring at me. 

"What?" I asked. He shook his head and smiled. After a minutes, he looked at me again and smiled. 

"You wanna hang out at my house for a little while?" He asked. 

"Sure." I grinned. 

                                                                                        ~~~

I layed on Jayden's chest as he stoked my hair. It was just us in the house. He only lives with his father, so it's usually quiet around the house. The only noise in the house right now was the T.V. in the background. So when Jayden spoke up and said, "I missed you so much." his voiced echoed and I tensed up. 

"Did you miss me?" He asked. Now I felt even more tense. Yes, I missed him, but I wasn't sure I was ready to tell me that. But if I want this to go somewhere, I'll tell him the truth. 

"I missed you too, J." He lifted my chin and looked in my eyes for a long minute. I instantly got butterflies. He smiled, then kissed me. And I let him. His lips were softer than I remembered. 

I deepened the kiss, and he slipped his warm tongue in my mouth. It was like our tongues were at war... a sweet war that I didn't want to end. We kissed and kissed until our breathing grew faster and faster. And I was enjoying every bit of it... I missed this and I misses him. 

In the middle of the kiss, Jayden whispered, "I want you back, baby... Be mine again."

I thought about it for a while.

It wouldn't be all that bad if we did get back together would it? Because after all, I did want him back... 

I leaned in and kissed his lips again. "I was always yours, baby." And for the rest of the night, we cuddled on the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. 

                                                                                     ~~~

When Monday came around, it was time for Cheer camp and I was ready! I missed my team, and I had an amazing time with my cheer sisters! It was good to feel care free and not have to worry about irrelevant people. I haven't spoken to my mother ever since she blew on me and not thanking me for helping her pay the bills. Especially now, that money's becoming an issue.

My father hadn't bothered to called, and neither have I. And even if he did call, I wouldn't answered any of his calls. The fact that he decided to impregnate Melanie disgusted me. Now there's going to be a new addition to this already messed-up family. Couldn't he pick someone else? He could do sooo much better than her. I can never see her as potential step-mother and me a, step-daughter. Hell No! 

Aside from my troubling parents, I laid across my king sized bed, thinking about Jayden and wishing he was here with me right now. Jayden and I are still back together and I'm happy with him so far. Yes, it's only been a week since we got back together, but everything's perfect.  

My phone buzzed in my hand and Lexi was calling. Before I even got to say hello or anything, she blasted, "GUUUUURLLLLLL!!!" through the phone, making my eardrums explode. 

"If you don't stop screaming, I'm gonna go deaf!" I responded. 

"Whatever. You got any plans today? I haven't seen you in forever!" 

I chuckled, "I know. I missed you dummy!" 

"...And no, I don't have any plans today. We should go out and do something, since my boyfriend is out there doing God knows what."

"Wait! What boyfriend?" Damn! I forgot I hadn't told Lexi about Jayden and I yet... Well, I kinda didn't have any intentions of telling her. Yet. It just slipped out of my mouth and I wish I could take it back. 

"uh, Jayden." I said, deciding that now's probably the right time to tell her. I expected her to tell me how stupid I was for taking him back and reminding me about how bad he hurt before and all that mess, but she simply said, "Oh, wow. I knew you guys would get back together."

She said it so nonchalantly that I could feel something wasn't right. This was not Lexi. Not all. She was supposed to be nagging in my ear about how much of a mistake I made, like Camille did when I told her. 

Yeah, I told her before I told Lexi... I don't know why. But I just did. 

Lexi and I decided to meet at Polaris Mall to chill and catch up with everything that's been going on with our lives.

 Sooooo, I accidentaly published this, but oh well! Thanks for reading!
