Part 6

Jai laid in bed cuddled up next to Juju as he slept, she stared at him with the same passion they had just shared minutes ago having sex. She stared at the side of his face, not knowing one person could bring so much joy. She finally had someone who made her happy and showed her what true love was. That last several weeks had been the best time of her life when she was around him. She could laugh, joke, and best of all be herself around him, he was a lover and friend all in one. Her and Juju weren't exactly dating but they were two words short of it. Jai had managed to convince Angel that she was going to Vixen's doctor visits when she was really spending time with her secret lover. Every chance he got he enjoyed taking her out and when she wanted he gave her the pipe right. Jai was just drifting off to sleep when her phone rang, "Hello" she answered sleepily

"Bitch bring yo ass to the house" she could hear the alcohol dripping in Angel's voice

She sighed under her breath getting up and getting dressed "I'm on the way". She woke Juju up with a tender kiss on the lips, "Baby wake up take me to the house"

"Jaielle what is it goin to take for you to leave that garbage ass nigga" Juju had gave Jai every reason to want to be with him, he treated her like gold while Angel treated her like shit. He knew she loved him but she still loved that dog too. "Julian dont start baby, please. You know the situation with him and you know I don't like drama." He had no choice but to leave the subject alone, even if he couldn't get all of her love he was grateful for the love that she did give him. Since they had been talkin he had fell even more in love than he'd ever been with any female, he wasn't gonna let her slip away from him he was gonna find a way to make them work. That night after dinner and a 2 hour argument over the dish water being to hot, Jai laid next to Angel who was snoring loudly on the other side of the bed. She was starting to get sharp pain in here abdomen and was fearing that he had burned her again, she instantly became depressed thinking about Juju finding out and leaving her. They meant to use a rubber but they'd get to caught up in the moment and use one, she said a silent prayer hoping she just ate too much food that night. She wouldn't make it if she didn't have Juju's love, she'd grown use to him being there. When Angel had pissed her off she would think of how happy Juju made her and wouldn't sweat the situation. She knew she'd have to schedule another appointment with her doctor again, she knew she was going to get a lecture from him this time.

"Victoria I can't believe the absurd sentence that left your mouth. You went from losing your virginity to getting pregnant all in one day?" Vixen's father said to his pregnant daughter who sat on the italian leather couch with her head down, "I don't even know how to respond to such ignorance"

"Daddy..." She pleaded with tears in her eyes

"Don't you Daddy me, Victoria. I thought you promised to not hae sex until after marriage, now look at you. 18, pregnant, and a freshman in college. Did you even consider how this could affect your future. By the way, who is this man who's your child's father"

Vixen thought about lying but the truth was going to come out one way or the other, it might as well be now. "My boyfriend named Rodrese"

"And what does he do for a living? What college did he attend?" he questioned

Vixen hesitated she couldn't dare say he was a heroin and pill slanging dope boy "He doesn't have a job" she said quietly

"VICTORIA" both her parents shouted at once "Your pregnant by a man with no job, please Victoria, PLEASE tell me he's in college" he dad said

She couldn't bring herself to look at her parents in the eyes but managed to tell them he wasn't in college.

"GET OUT" her father's deep voice echoed off the high ceilings, Vixen looked at her father sure she heard wrong. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE THIS INSTANCE, NO CHILD OF MINE ASK IN SUCH A PROMISCUOUS AND IMMATURE MANNER. I WILL NOT LET YOU GIVE THE FAMILY NAME A BAD IMAGE BECAUSE YOU SLEEP WITH CRIMINALS"
