The Misunderstood Black Woman

Jubilant XXII

Deciding which family to spend the holidays with was a full-time job within itself. My family would be coming back from Arizona for Thanksgiving tomorrow and they wanted to spend the holiday with me. The essential conflict came from both families wanting to spend the holiday with both of us. We wanted to be together so we could announce the big news to everyone so we had to come up with a solution fast.

I was nervous because I didn't want his family to assume things about me now that I was pregnant. I loved Bryson for him and I would love him regardless all of the materialistic things. The only people that knew I was expecting were, Bryson and Geia. When I went to my appointment the next day after taking the tests, she gave me an ultrasound to confirm my suspicions. I found out that I was 7 weeks along, but by now I was 8 weeks along. We did the math and figured out that I conceived around my birthday party.

Geia was so ecstatic for me that she actually started crying. I assumed that it was because she wanted to finally settle down now, but she said this was more motivation to keep being a player. Tonight I was nervous since I was seeing all of my friends together for the first time in a while. We decided to go out for dinner first, then we would go early Black Friday shopping if we had time.

Now that I was expecting, Bryson's over protectiveness was starting to annoy me. I understood that he wanted us be safe, but he was so anxious about me going out alone to do my normal routines. I was slightly showing, but if a stranger saw me on the street they couldn't tell right away.

I was now wrapping up my work so I could meet my friends on time. Bryson had a late meeting so I was going to slip out undetected so he wouldn't overreact. After I packed up my things, I put on my jacket and scarf. The weather was now in the mid to late 30's so I had to wear layers. Right when I was about to leave, Bryon was coming in at the same time with some other men from the office. Bryson excused himself then came over to greet me.

"Babe I came up with a solution. How about we spend all day with your family, then we'll spend the night with mines?" Bryson thoughtfully stated while pulling me into his warm embrace.

My cheeks heated up from the close contact with him. My man looked like an entire meal that I wanted to devour. My pregnancy hormones were so intense that my sex drive was through the roof, and I'm sure that Bryson was burned out by now. But that didn't stop me from plotting something for later on tonight.

"That sounds like a great plan to me. Also I'm about to head out to dinner with the girls so I'll be home in a couple of hours. I hope that you wait up for me." I seductively said while boldly rubbing his arms and chest.

I knew that this setting wasn't too appropriate from the shocked expression on his face. I felt why he was so shocked and I couldn't help but chuckle. He rolled his eyes then held me closer to hide his hard on from people passing by us. It made me feel sexy and empowered to know that I had such of a strong effect on my man.

"Be careful love and make sure that you eat healthier, because I want you and our child to remain healthy. Also you're going to regret teasing me in front of everyone when you get home. You can forget the bedroom tonight, I'm taking you on the dining room table since we got interrupted last time." Bryson said in a serious tone.

I felt myself get excited from the thought of that. I kissed him goodbye then headed out to my car. I was excited at the thought of having a carseat in the back now and pushing a stroller around. I was taking this pregnancy a lot easier than I thought I would. Tonight the ladies and I wanted to try something new so were dining at this place called Italian Village.

After I parked my car, I rushed inside to see them sitting at a table in the back. This time I was the last one to arrive, since Yvette still was in the hospital. I quickly made my way over to them then casually sat down like I was on time. Isabel rolled her eyes, and Geia just smirked at me like she wanted to stab me or something. Our friend Jordana was also joining us, but she didn't seem phased by my late arrival.
