Loved In The Wrong Way

Chapter 6

{Marianna Brother On The Side}

Once we got to Smoke's house, he showed me around. He had a nice townhouse with three bedrooms and three full bathroom. Of course he asked me what happened between me and Jay. I didn't give him the whole story. I just said that we got into an arguments and I waited until he went to sleep, then I left.

He sat my things down in the guest room where I'll be staying. It looked nice here.

"You good?" He asked me and I nodded. "I don't know what you like and I wasn't expecting guests, but I'mma fat ass so I just picked up a whole bunch of food from Boston Market. Wanna join me?" He asked me and I smiled.

"I'd love too." I smiled. "Thanks."

"Great!" He smiled. "Gimme five minutes and I'll have everything set." He said before leaving the room.

**** Later That Night ****

I woke up on the couch next to Smoke. I looked at the time on the tv box and it was 9 am. I got about nine hours of sleep last night. I can't remember the last time that's happened.

Dinner with Smoke was great. Afterwards we watched a movie in the living room, played a few games, and got to know each other a little better.

I have a small headache and my body is still a little sore so I decided to take a shower, eat, and then take some pain medicine. I went upstairs and took a shower. Smoke has a beautiful bathroom.

I didn't wear anything too special. I'm just gonna be in the house all day. I'm sure Smoke has something to do, probably with Jordan if his ass ever got up.

Once I was finished getting dressed, I walked downstairs to make some waffles and bacon if he has any. If he doesn't, I'm going to wake him up to the sound of my stomach growling.

To my surprise, he was walking out of the downstairs bathroom just as I came downstairs. He only had a towel wrapped his waist.

"Hey." I said with a smile. "I didn't know you were awake."

"Yeah, I woke up right after you moved." He chuckled. "I know you're probably hungry. Just give me a few minutes to get dressed and we can head out to get something. Is that okay?"

Before I could answer, the someone rang the doorbell. It's probably Jordan. He's gonna kill Smoke!

Smoke went to answer it and I stood there prepared to see the worst. Prepared to get my ass beat again, but it was some girl.

"Hey." She smiled as she tried to kiss Smoke. "Oh, right, sorry! No kissing yet!" She giggled and pushing her way in. When she noticed me, she had an upset and angry look on her face.

She was actually pretty, but her hair was messing her up. She was about 5'6, had shoulder length purple and blue hair, long green nails, multi colored pants, and white crop top. She had a nice body shape, but she dresses like a fucking tropical bird or some shit.

"Who hell is you? Why is yo ass here with my man?" She yelled as she came my way.

"Bitch, don't start with me!" I said to her while smiling. "I thought you was drama free Smoke? This ya girl? You claim these type a bitches?" I laughed as she took her eyes out.

"No, look you needa leave." He said to her as he stood in between us.

"You serious Smoke?" She said as she sounded like she was about to cry. "I was just a quick fuck to you? Huh? Is that it? You said we was always gonna be cool!"

"That don't mean you can pop up at my shit!" He raised his voice. "Look, just leave."

I stood in the chair behind Smoke and mouthed "Na, na, na, boo, boo." to her with my fingers in my ears and my tongue out. She jumped and reached over his shoulder for me but missed. He picked her up and started walking to the door with her.

I started walking upstairs but his hoe ran from him and grabbed me by my hair and pulled me down. I be damned if I let this tropical bird whoop my ass. I started punching her. I hit her real hard in the nose. She grabbed it and screamed.

Then this feelings came over me and I just started whooping her ass. Smoke had to pull me off of her. He then picked her up and sat her outside by her car. He came back inside and looked at me.

"I ain't stayin here no more." I said to him. He tried to say something but I cut him off. "I left Jay cause I was tired of the fighting, cussing, being abused, and then he admitted to cheating. I yelled at him about it and then we got into a fight. I stabbed him and I left. I left him there to bleed out and die. And I just now while I was fighting her, I felt how I felt in that moment with Jordan. I can't stay here Smoke. Thank you for everything, but I'm gonna leave." I said before walking upstairs without giving him a chance to object.

***

It's been 5 months since I talked to Smoke or heard anything about or from Jordan, but I'm spending that money of his just fine. I won't be spending all that money on myself anymore because on my 19th birthday, a little over 3 months ago, I found out I'm pregnant.

I moved into a 3 bedroom, two and a half bathroom apartment about two months ago. I was living with my brother until I found a place that I liked.

I know I'm gonna sound crazy when I say this, but sometimes I miss Jordan. I'm gonna blame it on the baby until the day I die though. I do miss the good times we had like when he would get things off the top of the shelf for me because I was too short to reach it.

I know he'd love our child and take care of him or her, but he doesn't even know that I'm pregnant and that's the way it's gonna stay. I honestly don't know how to tell him and I'm afraid he won't believe that this is his baby. I mean if it was vice versa, I wouldn't believe it either.

Right now Nelson and I are in the store grocery shopping for his fat ass. Always want a bitch to cook for him. After I paid for the food, he helped me put everything in my car.

"When are you gonna let me drive yo car?" He asked

"When hell freezes over. Now stop bitching fore I leave yo ass here. Get in the damn car."

He sighed and shook his head. He finally got in the car. "So damn mean." He mumbled.

"So damn mean." I mocked him. Once we got to my place, he carried all the bags in and I put everything away.

"Mari, you got a doctor's appointment toady?" Nelson asked as he ate some of my chips. I mean mugged him.

"Huh? Oh shit I forgot." I said as I looked at the calendar on my phone.

"You forget everything." I playfully slapped his back.

"It's not my fault." I poured and folded my arms. "Now take me to the doctors. I gotta be there in 30 minutes."

"Fine." He rolled his eyes. "A nigga can drive yo car?"

I sighed "Fine." We got in my car. I knew I shouldn't have let him drive. He's driving fast as fuck. "You better drive like that when I go into labor." I said as we walked in the hospital.

"I always drive like that. It's not my fault yo car is fast. A nigga can do 100 in that bitch without trying."

I shook my head, signed in, and then we waited. Dr. Mc.Knight called my name after a few minutes went by.

Nelson and I stood up and followed him into the room. I laid on the table and he put that cold ass gel on my stomach. I decided that I didn't want to know the gender.

"Your baby is very healthy and it looks like it'll be coming on January the 20th. Are you sure that you don't wanna know the gender?"

"I'm sure." I smiled as I looked down at my stomach.
