No Love In The Game, No Trust In The Game!

Chapter 9

"Kay when are we gonna be able to talk to mama? I miss her so much" Tammy said as she watched me make her bed. "I told you she's doing a 30 day detox. We have to wait 11 more days now come help me make this bed lazy. Why don't you ever clean your room?" "Because why do I have to clean it if I know you're gonna do it for me anyway." She asked. "I only do it because you're a spoiled brat." I teased her. "Yo bae, where you at?" I heard Rashad call out from the kitchen. I walked in and saw him standing there with a bouquet of flowers smiling. "What's this for?" I asked confused. "It's for you baby. Just because." "Just because?" I asked suspiciously. "Yea, it doesn't have to be a special occasion for me to buy you flowers and do sweet shit." Just the sight of him made me sick to my stomach after knowing what he did to Rachel but Kevin's words kept replaying in my head. I knew I had to play it cool and act as if nothing ever happened so I smiled and pretended to be happy. "Thank you baby, that's really sweet" I said as I kissed him. "That's not all I got for you either baby I got another surprise. Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and felt him place a necklace around my neck. It was a gold heart and had "till death due us part" engraved in it. "I don't know what to say Rashad. It's beautiful." I said shocked. "Yea just a lil something to let you know that we in this shit forever. Just promise me you'll never take it off." "I Promise."

"Are you sure these things are accurate Melissa?" I said as tears ran down my face. "Girl this is the 3rd test you've taken this week. You're definitely pregnant. You should just go to the doctor to confirm it but I'm pretty sure it's right." she said as we sat on my bathroom floor. "I can't believe this shit. This is the worst fuckin timing." I cried. "What do you mean? Having a baby isn't the end of the world Kay. You've already graduated school, you have plenty of money, and a man that loves and takes care of you. This baby is a blessing girl." "No Melissa, you don't understand. Things between me and Rashad haven't been as good and perfect as you think they have. It's more complicated than you think." I said debating on whether or not I was gonna tell her the truth about the situation. I was tired of bottling this shit up and I felt like I could trust her. I mean, she's been a great friend to me so far. "I know you're not still tripping about that shit Tiffany said at the club a couple of weeks ago. I'm telling you Kay, that was a bunch of bullshit. She just wanted to make you mad. I really feel like you have nothing to worry about, you have a good man." "No, I don't. I have a liar and a murderer. That's what I got and now my dumb ass is pregnant with his lying, murdering child." I blurted out. "what the hell do you mean a murderer? Who the hell did he kill?" Melissa asked with her mouth wide opened. "You might wanna sit down for this tea cause it's a lot." I said as I prepared to give her all the details of my fucked up love affair.

"Omfg Kay this is too much!" Melissa said. I had just told her the whole truth about what's been going on. "So he's the one who killed Rachel? This whole time it's been him all along!" She said shocked. "This shit is so fucked up because I've been having to pretend like I don't know and act like everything is okay and it's not. He makes me sick to my stomach and I have to lay next to him every night and now 'm pregnant with his baby." "So what are you gonna do?" She asked. "I'm gonna get an abortion. There's no way in hell I'm gonna have his baby." "No, I mean about Rashad. What are you gonna do about him?" "He's already taken care of. It takes everything in me to not kill him in his sleep every night but Kevin told me to wait for his signal. He said we had to do this shit right. It's been weeks now and I was starting to get impatient but he called me last night and told me the plan. He said he's making his move tomorrow night. It's perfect because I hacked into Rashad's phone while he was asleep and found out where he's gonna be and what time he's gonna be alone. He's almost never alone. Even when he's here his boys are always close by and they always roll deep but tomorrow night will be the perfect time to catch him slipping and Kevin's gonna end all this shit once and for all. Speaking of Kevin, I have to go talk to him. I have to tell him I'm pregnant." I said. "You really don't have to tell him, it's not like he's your man or anything so it's none of his business. Plus you're gonna get an abortion anyway so what's the point of telling him?" "It's the principle Melissa. We tell each other everything. He's the only person I can trust besides you. You two are the only ones that know all of this so I'm depending on you to not say anything to anybody!" I said with all seriousness. "You know I got you girl, I love you like a sister. I would never tell anybody. You have my word." She said with sincerity. I believed her. I wouldn't have trusted Melissa with a life or death secret if I felt like she would run her mouth. "Shit, it's 3 o clock already. Can you pick Tammy up from school for me and drop her back off here? Maria should be here soon to watch her. I have to go talk to Kevin."
