One Night Stand (Urban)

Chapter Four

Destiny

I'm six months pregnant and I look huge. My feet hurt, my back be killing me, I'm just struggling. My baby shower is tomorrow and I am so excited to see everyone. My family from all over is coming to support me and my pregnancy. I honestly don't need any more things for the babies. Between my parents, aunts, brother, and myself constantly buying stuff, I have enough for four babies.

When I was three months pregnant I started working at Baptist East Hospital as a Registered Nurse. Working six days a week, and twelve hours a day while pregnant with twins is extremely tiring. As tired as I am, I know I have to do this to be financially stable for my children and myself. My parents didn't want me to work at all but I didn't want to live off of them forever. They own a multi million dollar catering company so money has never been an issue. I just want to be a grown up and make my own money.

"Hey fat lady." My brother Justin says knocking me out of my thoughts.

"Ugh, call me fat one more time and I will hit you upside your head." He always calling me fat knowing damn well I'm having twins.

"Anyway, how is your new job at pharmaceutical company?" I asked.

"It's cool, I'm up for a promotion." He says with me looking at him knowing he has to be lying.

"Boy stop playing. You only been working there for two months. How are you already up for a promotion?"

"I'ma hard working man, plus I got cool with my boss son so he is going to pull some strings for me. Oh, and I invited him to your baby shower. I'm not about to be the only man besides pops here."

"Ok cool just get here a little early to help set up." I said

"Alright, bye sis." He says while hugging me.

Rashad

Something isn't right with Candice. If she is on the phone when I walk in the room she quickly hang up. She's out all night long. Maybe I am just over thinking things but i really think she is cheating on me again. When I confronted her about it she just told me I was delusional. Maybe I am. I'm just happy that it's Friday. I have been working so hard at my father's pharmaceutical company this week so I'm due for a relaxing weekend. My guy Justin invited me to his sister's baby shower. I wasn't going to go at first but he begged me talking about he doesn't want to be the only man there. I told him I would because I felt the same way at Candice baby shower. My phone started vibrating in my hand.

"Speak of the devil. Whats up Candice?" I said into the phone.

"Hey baby, I was just letting you know I'm spending the night at my cousin Jasmine house so don't wait up for me." In the background I hear, "you ready baby?" From a male voice.

"Candice who the fuck was that?" I asked getting pissed off.

"Oh umm that's my cousin Jasmine helping me get my bag." She says lying through her teeth.

"Bruh I ain't no fool. I know a nigga voice when I hear it!" I was hot now. I know this hoe ain't have another nigga in my house! She must be tripping!

"Baby you hearing things. That's Jasmine voice." Candice said shakily.

"Put her on the phone then!" I say about to snap.

"Umm she just went in the bathroom but Rashad you tripping I'm about to go, bye." I looked at the phone in my hand. I know she did not just hang up on me. I tried calling her back six times but she kept sending me straight to voice mail. I know I heard a mans' voice. If I find out she is cheating again we through. Baby or not, I refuse to be loyal to someone who obviously doesn't give a damn.
