Save Me.

lmao.

I'm sorry for the long wait, I haven't had the chance to write as much cause of work but I've been trying to create a schedule where I put some time in my day to write.
Hope you enjoy!

It felt like deja vu sitting in the same spot Lai and I was when we found out she was pregnant. My leg shaking like crazy. How the fuck would Jahseh react to this. I can't keep this from him, I'm already in deep shit by keeping what happened between Devin and I from him.
"Oh hi, is Ms. Ness here for a checkup?" She said looking around. I slowly shake my head, "I need to see if I'm pregnant or not"
She gives me a stern look then ruffles through some papers on her clipboard, reading something. She then looked at me with a smile.
"I don't have an appointment until 9, I can take you to my office and you can take the test there." I nodded standing up and following her through the hospital and finally walking into her office. Before I could sit down she handed me a cup.
"The bathroom is just outside, fill it up to this line," she said pointing to damn near the top. I walked out, went into the bathroom and filled the cup. I handed her the nearly full cup.
"I'll be right back" with that she walked out. I sat down and looked at my phone. I had a text from Laila and one from Jahseh.
I checked the one from Laila first.

I'm coming back tomorrow night have you found a place yet?

Yeah, I have a place I haven't called the owner yet though, got some shit going on.

Before I could reply to Jah's text, the doctor walks back in with a smile.
She sits at her desk and sorts through the papers on her desk.
She looks up at me.
"You're not pregnant Emani."

(lmao)

"Seven, It was a false alarm," I speak into the phone as I walk into the house, closing the door behind me.
On the way home I was contemplating whether or not I should tell Jah about the pregnancy scare but with everything going on I decided not to tell him and to just forget it ever happened.
"This should be a wake-up call. Tell your nasty little boyfriend to wrap it up" I laugh loudly. We say our goodbyes and hung up the phone.
The house was oddly silent.
"Jahseh!" I drop my stuff on the couch and I hear a loud groan.
I quickly retract my bags from the couch and look over to see Jahseh tiredly looking up at me.

"Why you home so late?"
"There was an emergency" I walk around the couch and lay my body on top of his, laying my head on his chest.
"What happened?" His voice scratchy and rough as he spoke. His hand rubbing my back soothingly.
"Just some girls fighting, nothing special"
"Where you work at where fighting is nothing special?" His voice getting raising a little bit.
I sigh loudly, "Jahseh...please don't do this now"
There was a moment of silence before he spoke up again, "Why do you keep your job a fucking secret? Why are you hiding shit from me?!"
"I'm not doing this right now Jah" I pushed myself off of his chest and walked upstairs. Once I walk into the bedroom, I grab my laptop from the desk then sit down on the bed. I open it and continue searching for apartments. I found a three bedroom apartment in Orlando for rent, perfect for me, Laila and the baby. It wasn't too late in the day, so I called the owner and schedules an appointment tomorrow morning. With that, I close my laptop and settle down under the covers then slowly falling asleep.

Next day, I start getting ready for the meeting with the owner. Jahseh was nowhere to be seen when I woke up but I just shrugged it off, thinking he was probably out with ski or something. I get dressed all formal-like and head down to the apartment. The meeting was short and straight to the point. I had enough money, from stripping, to pay off the first couple of months. I signed some paperwork then she handed me the keys and said I could move in the next day. I face timed Lai to show her around the apartment. She was just as excited as I was.
I tried to call Jah to tell him the news but my calls would go straight to voicemail so I called Ski.
"Hey Mani, what's good?"
"Where's Jahseh? He's not answering my calls"
"Oh-uh his phone died, we're at the studio right now."
"Ok, well can you put him on the phone I need to talk to him about something."
"He is the booth right now, do you want me to tell him something when he gets out?"
"No, just tell him to call me when he gets the chance to"
"Fo'sho, talk to you later"
"Yeah" I hung up the phone.
I look around the empty living room and smile.
"Time to start decorating"
