What's A Man To Do?

Chapter 7: Big Spending

Mr. Worth was a tall chocolate man that I assume many older women could not get enough of. As I looked over the files and the criteria of the paper work, I could say I was pretty pleased with the settlement.

"Oh Mr. Worth this is wonderful, I'm so glad to have you apart of Pier&Fashion."

"Call me Thomas please, and thank you for the opportunity to work by your side, I know my daughter is most proud of me."

Mr. Worth was always talking about his daughter Summer and his beautiful granddaughters. He was a man that had so much to be proud for and many people believed in him. To him that is all that seemed  to matter. 

"I am sure your family adores, a man like you, Thomas."

We both stood and I shook his hand. I finally got the client I been waiting for.

Jermaine's POV

"I made up my mind, I am not going to tell Heaven about this shit Tre. I just cant this shit will kill her. "

"Jay you been my boy for the longest, You have to tell her now because if she finds out later and it is not from you that will be the worst."

Jermaine sat back and took in the words his best friend gave him. Trevin Brown  and Jermaine been friends ever since grammar school. They been through thick and thin and nobody could separate them. They were brothers for life. 

 "Man, I see what you saying but I just cant, Now I know what Victoria said about tell--"

Trevin cut Jermaine off. Trevin was getting sick and tired of Jermaine making shit up to get around the problem. He had to set his friend straight. 

"Hell fucking no! You know damn well Victoria is crazy man. If she say she going to tell Heaven, you know damn well she will. You need to cut the bitch off. Straight 86 that hoe."

"Man but you know she pregnant and shit, fuck ill think of some shit. Ill hit you back later man."

"Ight bro, later"

Jermaine was already sitting outside Victoria house for this conversation. He didn't bother hit her up about no address because he didn't want to be seen with her. Not only that he wanted to get the whole conversation over with. 

He walked up and rung the doorbell but there wasn't a answer.

"Where the fuck is the girl" 

Jermaine took out his phone and called her she answered on the second ring.

"He-lloo" 

She sounded all hoarse. 

"Come open the door"

"mmm, okay"

When she opened the door she looked like all the life was taken out of her. As if life was over and she couldn't take the reality of it. Jermaine walked in and sat on her black love seat. She sat beside him and didn't say anything. She must of still been tired or just couldn't fine the right words Jermaine thought. 

"How are you feeling?"

"How do you think I feel Jay? I tell you I'm pregnant and you just walk out of here. What am I suppose to do Jay? I didn't lay down and get pregnant by myself. Now I know, we could of you used many forms of contraception but we didn't. So now we have to deal with this. I don't know if I should keep this baby or not. I want to because I have already grown attached, shit I'm about 8 weeks long. Just tell me what to do Jay"

Damn, What was I going to say to that ? Toria get an abortion? Hell nah. Knowing that she was farther along in the pregnancy told me that she took a while to tell me or she just did not know. 

"Toria look, I don't know what you want me to say. I'm not going to tell you to get an abortion because the decision is yours."

"This is our baby Jay! Will you help me raise this child ?"

"Right now, I cant say that for sure."

"So you telling me you going to be a dead beat dad? Heaven must have a hell of a hold on your ass. My God, I cant believe this."  

"When you decide on what you wanna do with that child of yours, let me know. Shit is it even mine?"

"Don't you dare say something like that! You know I was only-- you know what, Get the fuck out my house!"

"Now you know damn well that shit ain't true."

"GET THE FUCK OUT"

Jermaine walked out peacefully, wishing he never spent so many nights in between her legs.
