Gang Leader's Kid (#1) ✔

-8-

I didn't go to work, big gasp right? I haven't been to work since the day that Kieron told me that Tristan was a gang leader and my brother had something to do with it. My own flesh and blood has been keeping something this big a secret from me, but I was stupid enough to miss the signs. The way he spoke to guys that spoke to me, the tattoos especially some of them, the way he suddenly tensed when someone would come near me, people would think that he was just being an overprotective brother but that wasn't the case most of the time. He was protecting me from the crap that he was going through, both him and Tristan and I also bet you that it wasn't a coincidence of how Tristan and I slept together.

I didn't want to go out of the house, who knows who else is lying to me or keeping their identity a secret from me? I was scared, frightened, terrified any words you could think of to explain how shaken I was. Kieron could be involved too which would mean Leah was too, what about Layla? I was going to bring a baby into a life like this, I wanted Tristan to be in my baby's life not knowing what he did or having no clue about his life. The only people that I felt like I could trust was...no one.

Miles nor Tristan had called me after that day, Miles knew better than to talk to me in a crying state but it had been a couple days now. I wanted him to call me and ask me if I was okay but another part of me didn't want him to contact me, it's the same with Tristan but I craved his touch and his words. Neither of them knew that I knew about their gang lives, I don't think Kieron told them that he told me. A plan came to mind and I wiped my tears away then grabbed my phone and typed in Tristan's number which he gave to me.

'Hello?' I still got that shiver from hearing his voice even though I didn't want to because of what I knew but that still couldn't change the way I felt towards him every time he had opened his mouth and said something to me. My body was forcing me to feel like this and I didn't like it one bit, but that was a lie too wasn't it? God I'm going crazy.

'It's me. I want to have lunch with you.' I said, praying that he didn't hear the shake in my voice from the tingles and dizziness I was having from speaking to him. 'So you don't call me or Miles and suddenly you want to have lunch with me?' I could hear the amusement seeping through his voice so I chose to ignore it.

'If that's fine with you, if not then I'll not bother to contact you again.' I replied with a little agitation in my voice because this conversation was supposed to be a simple yes or no but with Tristan, it seemed like he loved to waste time and prolong conversations.

'Come by then, don't get angry on the way. I have my own lunch so bring your own.' He said, but before I could say anything...he hanged up. I huffed then got up of my ass and started to get ready, something simple and casual as everything now felt so hot.

I decided on a maxi dress which felt so good against my skin, then I slipped on some gladiators before adding a little eyeliner to my eyes and nude lipstick to my lips. I grabbed a bag to carry then my car keys, I got my car back from Miles who had his car at the mechanic what a nice brother he was, leaving his pregnant little sister to fend for herself. As I had guessed the outside world was a little hot but there was a little breeze which helped, I got into my car and made the windows go down before making my way to Walmart.

I bought a sandwich, two packets of M&M's, a bottle of water and mountain dew and those chocolate diary thingy's. I got looks from the elderly, the sweet looks which made me smile back at them. I love the elderly because they had a life before the 2000's and way before the 80's, they had an interesting life something I wish to have.

I bought my stuff and went to my car then made my gruelling way to Tristan's office; getting there in ten minutes was actually breaking record timing because of maybe how hungry I was but that still made me at my speediness even being pregnant then got out of the car bringing out my food. I walked inside and was greeted by the same people as I saw last time but same gave me a look which made me feel disgusting but anywho I continued my way to Tristan's office.

I knocked on his office door a couple times, I had to act nice didn't I? 'Come in.' That was the only answer I heard before I stepped into his office to see him sitting on his chair and typing on his computer furiously but it didn't seem like that when you looked at his fingers, they just glided across the keyboard.

'Brought my lunch.' I said walking over to sit down on the seat that was on the opposite side of Tristan's. I could feel Tristan's eyes on me as I brought out my lunch but I didn't dare look up until after I was finished and when I was, he still kept looking at me making me feel self-conscious of how I was eating. 'What?'

'Why did you come here? Why did you want lunch with me?' He asked, leaning back on his chair with his hands folded at his...toned stomach as I remembered from our nights of "fun". 'You're my baby's father and the way I acted a couple of days ago was rude. This is just me being nice.' I said, my eyes locked on his just like his eyes were on mine since I came and sat down.

'If you're sure.' He said, then went and brought out his food from one of his desk drawers.

'I am.' I answered, confidently as I bit into the deliciousness of my food. Tristan stopped his movements with his eyes flickering to mine so I did the same and we shared the same look but the look didn't have a name. It was just something that could only work between the two of us and no one else, that's why it didn't have a name.

'How have you and the baby been doing?' He asked as we ate making me groan a little because he was asking these questions while we were eating and something I liked to do when I ate was not talk and enjoy the food I was eating without any interruptions. 'Good. Why ask me? I thought you didn't care enough for this kid like I do.'

'I didn't say that.' He might not have said it but other things of him have done.

'But you're facial expressions did.' Once again we had that look but the only added thing was Tristan's anger which flared in his eyes like fire. 'Alright, answer me honestly now. Why the fuck did you want this stupid lunch?' The harshness of his voice made me want to cry but I held the tears in.

'You could say that I know what you do.' I said biting into the chocolaty, creamy goodness it brought me but it soon started to leave me with a loss of appetite because of the conversation me and Tristan were having, it was like it was bringing that feeling you get at the pit of your stomach and it just wouldn't go.

'Explain, or I will force it out of you.' My neutral mood continued which seemed to piss off Tristan more but I couldn't care less. 'Kieron let it slip that I was having the gang leader's kid.' Tristan froze while I continued to eat.

'Kiha-'

'Is that why you don't want our baby in your life?' I was being blunt but this was the only way for me to not lash out. 'Because you can't keep your crap intact? My kid's life is in danger and it's because you decided to screw me without a condom.' I drank some of my mountain dew so he could speak but when he didn't, I continued.

'This is your fault as much as mine. You know the best part in all of this? My brother is involved meaning I am in danger as well as my baby and so help me God if something happens to my baby, I will make you suffer Tristan.' The tears would leak any minute but just a little longer till I'm out of here, then I could share my feelings by myself.

'Get out and never come back Kihanna. If you want what's best for our child then you will leave, you did it for six and a half months you can do it for the rest of your baby's life. Your brother is involved but you aren't seen as a threat to others if you're known as only his sister.' His words shocked me, shocked me so much that it left me with my mouth gaping at him.

'First you tell me never to look back at this, then you call my child our child, you remembered how many months I was before referring him as my child once again. My baby will still be involved in your shit because my brother is involved, when my brother is involved everyone else is involved and it will bring harm to my kid if they find out that your fucked up ass if the father.' I shouted at him feeling the anger come at me at full force. My stomach was swirling around and I tried my best not to puke or feel light headed so I stayed angry no matter how many angry looks Tristan was giving me. Maybe this lunch was a stupid idea but here the truth was tumbling out of his mouth wasn't it? It may not have been what I would have liked to here but the truth is not always good.

'You choose, you die now, in a couple weeks or you don't die at all. I guarantee you that you or the baby won't live long if you stay with me.' And I gave up trying. I didn't bother arguing with him, I just got my stuff and left without a bye or another look.
