Chanel's Story

Chapter 23: Revelations

That morning I woke up on side of my bae. I just layed there looking at him for a while because he was just so perfect. I truly was in love with him. I had to go to the bathroom but he was holding on to me so I had to slide from under him.

I went to the bathroom to take care of myself and went in the room to put on my clothes.

"Don't leave me," I heard him mumble in his sleepy voice. He was making me wet cause I loved the way he sound when he just wake up. We didn't fuck last night which I know is weird. We just had so much fun. Played basketball, talked till the sun came up, cuddled, watched movies.

"Trust me that I don't want leave."

"If you need me today call me," he said and I nodded.

"Clayton said he gonna pick you up at 12 to go to the car dealership," I reminded him.

"I gotchu." I picked up my bag off the dresser and headed to the door.

"Ain't you forgetting something?" he asked. I saw my phone charger sticking out the outlet and grabbed it.

"Anything else?"

"Nahh I think I'm good."

"Girl come give your man some sugga," he said and I laughed. I walked over to him and pecked him on the mouth.

"I love you," I told him.

"I love you too," he said and I left.

The night before, Malik texted me the address to Tiff's house and to the hospital. Lord know the last thing I wanted to be doing today was being a taxi for some bitch I didn't like. I wasn't being too hateful cause of the innocent lil baby on the way.

I pulled up to a lil house and I saw somebody peek out the window so I knew she knew I was here.

While I was waiting, my phone started ringing and it was my dad.

"Hey Chanel," he said on the other end.

"Hey daddy. What's going on?"

"Oh nothing. Me and Malik on our way to the prison to see this pussy nigga. How your day going so far?" he asked knowing I was probably with Tiff.

"So far good. As long as she don't try and be buddy buddy with me I'm cool."

"Well be smart about today." he said.

"I will daddy. Where y'all at now?" I asked.

"Well we just passed through Sunset and Malik is driving. This place is  four hours away. I remember going here all the time to see your uncle back in the day."

I saw Tiff come out the house with a big ass maternity dress on. Looked like that hoe was bout pop any second now. She made it to the car and and i unlocked the door for her. She slid in and said hey.

"Oh really daddy? I didn't know unc was in jail." I said. Now that she was in here I wanted to stay on the phone for as long as I could with my dad to avoid conversation. I pulled out the driveway and started to drive to the hospital.

"Yea hunny for a long while," he said. "Well I'm about to take the wheel from Malik for a lil bit so I'm gonnav talk to you later."

"Bye daddy! Be careful," I told him before hanging up the phone. Damn. Now this awkward silence.

I turned on the radio and continued to drive.

We made it to the hospital parking lot and then the silence was broken.

"Thank you for bringing me here today," she said. "I know how you feel about me and I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry."

"What you sorry for? I ain't fuckin with Malik no more. You probably caused me some fucked up stress at the time but im on to bigger and better things."
