MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 81

Imani's POV

I was chilling with Chasity cause she stayed with me, I let her drive me around today Jesus take the wheel, so I had to cut that short & just come home cause I'm too big to fit behind the wheel. She cant drive for real

"Girl you almost sent me into early labor. I see why you can't pass the driving test" I said rubbing my stomach as I sat on the floor in Kennedy's room

"Whatever, I failed maneuverability. People in Atlanta just can't drive," she said looking back at her phone when she was supposed to be helping me put all this stuff from the baby shower away

"Um I thought you were supposed to be helping me. Not texting some lil boy. Is it Brandon," I asked folding the clothes up

"I am helping but its too much shit. No this is not Brandon. I don't talk to him no more cause he's an asshole. This is Daniel," she said smiling

"Watch that mouth before I pop you in it. Who the hell is Daniel. You never told me about this one," I said looking at her

"Dang nosey, but I just met him like last week. He stays in the building across from where we moved in Gainesville," she said

"He got you smiling like that already lil girl. How he look," I asked curious

"Um last I checked you & my brother fell in love, got pregnant & engaged all within one year. He's is fine, tall, brown skin & he got a car & a job," she said

"I gotta see him, but how old is he," I asked her grabbing another bag of clothes to fold

"19," she mumbled

"19, Chas that's a grown man. You know when Khalil & Chris find out it's gone be a wrap. What kind of job he got cause most nigga think selling dope is a legit job" I asked her cause I know she's not a bad kid, but still 

"I will be 17 next month. Chris nor Khalil are my daddy. It's gone be a wrap for what case we're just new friends. He works at Wal-Mart cause he had a name tag & vest on for there" she said

"That's how it all starts, new friends, then he pressures you into having sex cause you're young & naïve. Then you end up like this," I said pointing to my stomach

"One I'm not naïve & I'm not having sex until I get married," she claimed. I said the same thing until I started messing with Chris ass 

"I said the same thing. I was doing good until I met your brother," I told her. 

"My brother was your first," she asked anxiously

"I don't know why I'm discussing this with you, but yes. He was first real boyfriend, first real kiss & first sexual partner," I said honestly 

"So you got pregnant the first time after losing your virginity," she asked

"No silly, but it did happen the first time we had unprotected sex," I told her

"Gosh Imani didn't you learn to wrap it up. Even I know that & I'm a virgin," she said

"You better be. Yes I know to wrap it up, but it was his birthday & we were in the heat of the moment. No I don't regret it cause I love Chris, but if I had to go back I would have waited a little longer cause I'm only 22," I told her. It's so more in life I wanted to accomplish before starting a family 

"So, but ya'll bout to get married too. You graduated college. You take care of yourself so it don't even matter. But when are we going to start wedding planning & shopping," she asked
