Ch.19 Whats Love Gotta Do?

GIA'S POV.

I am so exhausted. I've been at work since 8 am. And it's now 4 pm. I had a TON of paperwork to do since my moms in jail now.

Whatever she left on her desk I had to do.

But then again I don't mind. Cause that just means more money for me.

Plus I only have an hour left.

"Gia" the new receptionist Maria says knocking on the door.

"Yeah" I say. "You have a delivery?" She says in a questioning voice.

I scrunch my eyebrows.

"Come in" I tell her.

As she comes in she's holding a bouquet of red roses and a grande size iced caramel frapuccino from Starbucks.

I smile and stand up.

"It was from someone named Anthony, he said he was in a hurry so just dropped it off" she tells me handing me the items.

I nod.

"Thank you" I tell her and she walks out.

There's a small card on the roses and I read it.

" I'm sorry I haven't been around much, I swear I'll make it up to you baby girl :)

- Anthony "

I smile and get instant butterflies.

That was really sweet of him.

Because of how busy I've been and how busy he's been, me and Gunner haven't kicked it a lot since we've been together.

We haven't even had sex since the first we had sex in my room that night we were drunk.

But I know I do love him. And he loves me.

He just makes my heart melt.

I continue doing paper work until it's finally time for me to leave.

I drive home and all I wanna do is kick off my heels and shower.

But when I walk through the door I strangely see Gabby arguing with Manny.

"Gabby?" I say catching both of their attentions. "What are you doing here? Why are you guys fighting??" I ask curiously.

She just crosses her arms, looks at Manny, then just rushes past me and leaves.

"Um, am I missing something??" I ask Manny. He sighs and puts his hands in pockets.

"She's, telling me she's pregnant" he says. I jerk my head back. "By who? YOU?" I ask surprised.

He smacks his lips.

"Man I don't even know if that shit is mine and she's coming over here saying it's mine and I said we'd be together and all that bullshit" he says with attitude.

"But DID you fuck her? DID you say that?" I ask him.

He sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Yeah and yeah but I was just tryna fuck it ain't like I fucking love the bitch I thought we were just fucking!" He says shrugging his shoulders.

I slap his arm.

"Ow!" He whines. "Pendejo! You always knew she has a fucking thing for you!" I tell him.

"Yeah I fucking know which is why I knew she's fuck in a second I didn't know she'd get pregnant!" He says.

I groan and go outside.

I look down the sidewalk and see Gabby walking.

I get in my car and catch up to her.

"Gabby get in the car" I tell her. She looks at me then gets in the car.

"What the fuck is going on Gabby" I ask her as I pull up to the curb.

She sighs.

"I'm pregnant Gia that's what's going on" she says.

"Are you, SURE, it's Manny's?" I ask her.

"I'm absolutely positive, I think both you and I know I wouldn't lie about Manny being the dad, especially after the shit he said" she tells me.

"What did he tell you?" I ask her.

"He's saying it's not fucking his, but he knows it is, he fucking knows it's his" she says shaking her head.

"When did you two even, fuck??" I ask her.

"About a month ago, at a party" she says.

I sigh.

"So, what are you gonna do?" I ask her.

"I'm gonna have it, I'm gonna have my baby and take care of it, cause again we both know his dead beat fucking ass ain't gonna do shit for my fucking kid" she says.

I purse my lips.

"Gabby come on he's gonna help you take care-" I tell her but she cuts me off.

"NO, he's not Gia he ain't shit and he's not gonna help me with shit" she says then just gets out of the car.

"Gabby!" I yell out the window but she just waves her hand and keeps walking.

I don't bother chasing after her.

I know how Gabby is. She's got a huge attitude and a huge pill of pride to back it up.

Me and my brother don't have the best relationship but I didn't really like how she said he ain't shit.

I don't know if she meant it cause she's angry but it sounded like she did.

Manny might not wanna be with her but I know he'd take care of his own and be a father.
