A Soldier Like Me:A Louisiana Love Story

Chapter Eighteen: Tinashe

I love Chase, but I don't want him to put his life in jeopardy for me. I FaceTime Heaven to see what she was up to. She answer her facetime on the second ring.

 

  "Hey girl what y'all up to?" I asked her.

      " Noonie and I are trying to get breakfast started in here, so they can get they asses up. Would you believe they stayed up til 3 in the morning talking and smoking." She said whipping some eggs in a bowl to make scramble eggs.

  "That is ridiculous," Noonie added, making biscuit from scratch.

    "So, what we doing today?" I asked them cooking Chase's breakfast.

  "I was thinking we should get our nails and feet did." Noonie suggested.

  " Sound like a plan then. I'm about to wash up and put some clothes on and I'll be there in an hour."

     

        I finished Chase breakfast and gave it to him. I went to take a well needed shower. I can't believe Luchie trying to ruined my happiness. This man is married with kids and now he trying to break my good thing I got with Chase.

  Yea I loved him at one point, but not anymore. If he think we still got something together, he very much mistaken. If Chase not giving up on me, I'm not giving up on him. I'm his Bonnie and he's my Clyde.

 

I couldn't go back to my place because one of the neighbors told my damn landlord about the shooting, so Heaven and I had to get our stuff out of his house. But we wasn't staying there anyway.

I put my clothes on and grab my keys, kissing Chase before walking out the door. He was on the phone handling business, so I didn't want to bother him to take me.

    I pulled up at Heaven's no later than an hour like I said. I walked in the house without knocking like it was my shit.

    "Hey bitches!" I shouted to everyone who was in the living room. Brec was on the couch watching  football and Noonie was getting her hair done by Heaven. Junior was watching paw patrol on his iPad. And Master was sleep in his room.

    " Damn your ass don't knock," Brec said looking at me for a min and back at the tv.

    " Nope, I don't like knocking." I told him walking to the table to sit down.

    " You and Chase ass crazy, ya'll a perfect damn match." He said laughing.

      "Boy Whatever."

     After Heaven finished Noonie hair, they both went to get dress for our girls day out.

        Knock, knock

    " Are you gonna get that?" I asked Brec looking at him to see if he was going to get his ass up.

      "Yo you right by the door, answer it I got you if something pop off." Not taking his eyes off the tv. I don't know what with men and football, it ain't that damn exciting.

    I rolled my eyes and got the door.

      " Can I help you? Looking at some girl standing at the doorstep. She looked so familiar. Ain't I seen you before somewhere?" I asked her trying to figure out where I know her from.

 

  "Yes, you do my hair sometimes at your shop. It's Renee by the way," she smile raising her hand out for me to shake.

    Before I can shake her hand Brec come to the door.

      "What the fuck you want Renee? Brec asked her.

    "I came to talk to Master, could you please go get him. "She sassed. Looking at him sideways.

   

So, this was the famous Renee that everyone one was talking about. I thought to myself

      "Nah he busy with his girl, what you got to tell him?" Brec asked.

      "That I'm pregnant and it might be his baby." She boldly said smiling in our faces.

       

Brec and I look at each other and burst out laughing.

          " Bitch get on with that bullshit, that baby ain't for Master, He wore a condom every time ya'll had sex with yo nasty ass" Brec spat waving her off.

    "Condoms could pop you know." She said like that going to get us to believe that's his baby.

      "My bro told me he put two condoms on to be safe with yo ass. "Brec informed her.

    " Y'all just don't want him seeing me, cause you know he miss me and not that bi-"

  

I slapped that bitch in the face, before she can get the word bitch out of her mouth. Bitch tried to hit back, but I gave her that look that say I wish you would bitch.

      " Listen bitch what you and Master had is over. He's with Heaven and is very much in love with her. If you think by telling him you pregnant, He gone end up and leave Heaven for you. You out your damn mind.

  "I thought I told you not to come back here." Master added, walking towards the front door scaring the hell out of me.

I guess Heaven and Noonie heard the commotion, cause they came from the back half-dressed to see what's going on.

     " I wanted to tell you I might be having your baby. See when I left that night, three weeks later I found out I was pregnant." Trying to explain herself.

    The look on Master face, show he don't believe shit she was saying.

    "Renee take yo stupid ass on, you know that's not my baby ma, we had sex with condoms. You looking stupid coming to my house right now," he told her with gritted teeth.

    Renee didn't say anything she had tears clouding in her eyes. She turned around and got in her car and drove off. I kind of felt bad for her, but that what you get when you fuck over a good man.

     " I need a strong ass drink," I said walking back inside to Master and Heaven Liquor stash.

  

    It's like every time I turn my head it's more drama and pettiness. But baby girl looked a little off when she walked to her car. I hope she wasn't crazy. I would hate to kill that  bitch. I doubt it though, she look like she  won't hurt a fly.
