The sun had just come up and we were still lying in the same spot from the night before. You were worn out first as usual, you yawned and pulled me closer falling asleep behind me. As I lay there listening to you sleep my mind began to wonder. "Should I tell him now or later when it's the right time." See Daren was one of those quiet but sneaky types you had to watch him closely. We had been together for some time and we both said we would never keep any secrets. Your phone rang loud in my ear causing me to lose my train of thought and causing you to wake up. Startled, you reached for your phone thinking you swiped the screen to end the call but you actually answered it. As you rolled over I heard her voice. "Baby are you finished up with her I need you to take me to my doctors appointment." Doctors appointment? The unrecognized voice on the other end was his 8 month pregnant baby mama. She continued talking, "Its at 10:00, you have 30 minutes to get here I can't be late or they won't see me; HELLO !? are you eve-.." The called ended, you jumped up checking to see if I was awake but I played sleep. "Wtf is this nigga serious? I can't believe he got some other bitch pregnant on me!" Was all I could repeat in my head as I hear you ease out of the bed and into the bathroom to brush your teeth. I took a quick glance at your phone, the call log was still opened. I read and re read her number, then once again pretended to be asleep. You left, I watched you drive away before I saved the number to my phone.
"Tuh, the nerve of this nigga. I-"
Mid sentence my phone rang & it was my best friend Trent. Trent stood 6'3, thick built, a smooth chocolate skin tone, with dark brown even more noticeable eyes. I ignored the call I was too busy thinking about everything that just took place. After the rejected call my phone lit up with a voicemail notification. "Hey, I was just checking on you but you seem busy; return my call when you get this, bye." I plugged my phone up to charge and headed to the shower, after I finished I called Trent back. After three rings the he answered, "Hey I know you saw me call you earlier!" I lied, "No my phone was dead and when I turned it on I saw your missed call and voicemail, wassup ?" Him, "You know we made plans to chill before I left today, don't tell me you forgot?" I actually had forgotten all about it. "Shit, I'm sorry I did forget. Let me get dressed and I'll be ready." The call ended and I went to get dressed, as I did K Michelle's song 'Cry' played in the background. "I'm gone do something I never do, I'm gone try and hurt you too. Feels so damn good to be cold, and I don't even care if you know." At that moment I figured I'd tell Daren my secret.About 30 minutes later my phone buzzed with a text from Trent saying he was outside. As I said before he was my best friend, and what do all best friends do? Fuck! That's why it's hard to trust that title now. As I got into his 2017 Mustang I could smell his Polo cologne and it automatically turned me on. I shut the door and looked over at him watching me with a smirk on his face. "What Trent?" Him, "Nothing I just noticed that you've been getting a little fat in the front and in the back." I hit him and played it off as we both laughed but it was the truth, I really had gained weight, 15 pounds to be exact. See I was pregnant with Trent's child. The car ride was silent, Trent turned up his music as he tried to pass me the relit blunt I turned it down, thinking of our unborn baby. "Since when do you turn down a blunt? *laughing* I forgot you can only handle Reggie." Tears began to form in my eyes, not because of his joke but because I was overwhelmed. The car came to a sudden stop, as I looked up we were in his driveway forgetting that he stayed close by. He looked over at me noticing the tears in my eyes just before they started to fall. "What's wrong with you? I know you ain't mad your period must be on?"
I ignored his question as he continued to find out what was wrong. Finally I answered him. "No, actually I missed it this month, I've missed a few lately." His eyes immediately lit up while his mouth ran at a thousand miles a minute. "What!?" "I'm going to be a God daddy!?" Not the responses I expected to hear from him then he mentions Daren. "Does Daren know yet?" I shook my head no and began to cry as he assured me everything would be alright as we got out of the car and went into the house. We sat in silence for an hour before either one of us spoke. He finally broke the silence. "So what was that all about? Finding out about a pregnancy is hard but you seem to be taking it harder than I expected." "It's just me and Daren aren't doing so good right now and there's no guarantee that I'm keeping it." Another lie I told, I was definitely going to keep the baby after what I found out this morning. I explained the situation that happened earlier that day and how I felt. But before he could say anything back, his phone began to ring. He answered and placed it on speaker phone, "Hold on a minute it's my step sister." As she began to talk the voice sounded a little too familiar but I thought nothing of it as I checked my Facebook. "Hey Trent, I called you earlier to see if you could take me to my appointment. I almost missed it but my baby daddy finally got up to take me. Well anyway the babies are doing fine you'll be an uncle sometime around your birthday next month. I should be stopping by today before you leave so you can meet my man." The call disconnected and we attempted continued our talk.
15 minutes had passed and his head was between my legs, almost reaching my orgasm the door bell rang. I hurried and pulled my pants back up as he wiped his mouth and answered the door. It was his step sister, Nisha. I repositioned myself on the couch as if nothing ever happened. My phone buzzed and it was a text from Daren. "I'm sorry I left so early without saying anything but you were sleeping so hard I didn't want to wake you. I had to handle some business but I'll be back to the house in a little while we need to talk." I didn't notice that Trent and his step sister made their way into the living room as I locked my phone. I rolled my eyes "Fuck you" I said to myself.
Nisha was every bit of pregnant, as she eased down on the couch beside me she introduced herself, "I'm Nisha, and Trent you didn't tell me he had a girlfriend! She's pretty compared to that other girl, what was her name? Briana? That's it, yeah I'm glad y'all broke up she was stuck up and ugly." I thought to myself "this bitch just walked in and she's already getting on my nerves." Trent cut her off before I could asking her where her mystery dude was. "Oh he had to go do something real quick but here's his picture." She thumbed around on her phone through a few pictures, smiling she looked up and said "There he go." Trent looked like he has saw a ghost as his eyes shot up to meet mine. It was Daren..
