Soul Ties

Chapter 4

Nicole

I've been calling Chris all day and night to no avail. Most likely Queen knows where he's at but I knew that conversation wasn't about to go over smooth at all. If I knew Chris like I did, he was probably laid up with some hoe right about now.

I decided to call one more time, just in case he did decide to pick up.

"Chris stooooop" I heard through he phone. He answered the phone while he was in bed with some bitch? My foot gon be up his ass next time I see him! "Wait, I think I saw your phone light up.." I heard her say.

"Answer it!" I heard him say in the distant.

"Hello?"

"Um where's Chris?" I asked with an attitude.

"Wait hold on.." She paused. "Chris stop making all that damn noise, I'm on the phone!" She came back to me. "I'm sorry, what were you saying?"

"Bitch put Chris on the phone, now!" I snapped.

"Hold the fuck up, who you calling a bitch? You would wanna tone it the fuck down!"

"I'm calling the hoe that answered my child's father phone a bitch! Now put him on the fucking phone!"

"Know what? I don't even have time for this! You don't even want see me bitch. You think Queen beat that ass the other day? You not even ready for my troubles, believe me!" She spat back. "Here Chris, talk to yo hoe! I'm going dry off.."

It took him a while to get to the phone, but when he did it was his ass. "Hello?"

"Nigga don't hello me! I fucking hate you Chris! I tell you I'm pregnant and you go lay up with some hoe? Fuck type shit is that huh? You can't have at least a little respect for me?" I began crying.

"Man what you talkin' bout Nikk? You on some other shit.."

"I'm on some other shit?!" I yelled. "Who was that bitch Chris?"

"None of your fucking business and she's not a bitch! You need to chill and some checkin' me like I'm yo nigga when I ain't!"

"You know what? You are absolutely right! You ain't my nigga, so when yo child calling another nigga daddy, remember that shit!"

"You stupid bit-bye Nicole!" He hung up in my face.

Fuck this shit!

Leeyah

My day with Chris was going good until that ratchet ass girl started shit. Now all I wanna do is sit on Tumblr and watch lifetime or something. I didn't even wanna be bothered with Chris right now. It wasn't that I was blaming him for her actions but this is what type of female you're having a child with?

"Aye?" I heard Chris say but I just ignored him. I know he didn't do me anything but I still was feeling some type of way about it. "Leelee?" I couldn't help but laugh some. "I'm sorry about all that.."

"Leelee? I gave you permission to give me a nickname?" I turned in his direction, giving him my attention.

"Girl I don't need yo permission! You name is Leelee, get over it!" He said sitting on the edge of my bed.

"And your is Chrisanova!" I know it was lame but whatever.

"No the hell it ain't! You not about to call me that shit and I'm not playing either!" He laughed.

"Too late. I'm going change it to Chrisanova in my phone now!" I pick up my phone and tried to change it but he snatched it away from me. "Heeeeeeey, give it back!" I pushed him down on my bed and straddled him, trying to get my phone out his hands.

"Aha, shorty can't get the phone? Is shorty getting angry?!" He joked. I pinched his nipple, making his arm come down and my phone along with it.

"Got it now!" I laugh while still on top of him.

"You gonna get up or what?" He asked, putting his hands behind his head.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't!!" I joked.

"Yeah, you might wanna just get up before some shit pop off.." He gently lifted me from him.

"What you mean by that?"

"Nothing, I'm bouta get my stuff and go.."

"Oh, cool.." I was a little disappointed but I'd never tell him that. "See ya at school then.."

"You not gonna come walk me out?"

"Uh sure.." I really didn't want him to leave but If he wanted to go, I wasn't gonna stop him. "Lemme put on some clothes right quick.." I slipped into a simple pair of jeans and a graphic tee and put my hair into a high bun.

"Yo Chris, you ready?" I yelled from my room.

"Yeah.." He said from outside my door. "Where you going?" He asked, eyeing me as I walked pass him to lead the way to the front door.

"Out.." I said nonchalantly as I grabbed my keys from the rack.

"Oh I see how it is.." He laughed. "Have fun!"

"I will.." I put in the security code before walking out the door.

"Well, guess I'll see you at school Monday.."

"Yup.." I faked a smile. "I'll be there!"

"Cool.." He started walking away then turned around. "Aye, we having a little get together tomorrow, me and all my friends. If you wanna come you can.."

"No thanks. Maybe you should invite Nicole.." I said before getting in my car. He put his head down and laughed before getting into his. When the gate opened up, I couldn't wait to get outta here!

I don't know where I was going but I'm sure I'd find a place. Afterall, this is New York City..
