Jamal: we're going to be parents.
My heart stopped as I stared back at Jamal.
Me: what?
Jamal: I'm joking baby they're all negative.
Me: don't fucking do that Jamal.
I breathed out a breath of fresh air as he pulled me into a hug.
Jamal: so no more stressing about this alright?
Me: are you happy?
Jamal: I would have been happy no matter what the result.
Me: maybe further down the line we can plan it for real?
I kissed him as he smiled at me nodding.
Jamal: now let's get ready because we need to go before your mum comes back and we need to meet Vanessa, Romeo and Demari.
I nodded taking the tests up putting them into my bedroom draws so nobody found them.

As soon as me and Jamal were ready we got an Uber to demaris house where Romeo and Vanessa also were. All 3 of the guys were arguing about who was driving because they all wanted to drink.
Me: why don't we just get an Uber? I'm not drinking so I'll make sure we all get back here safely.
Demari: sorted. We'll do that. Who wants some pre drinks?
I rolled my eyes as they all started cheering. The only reason I'm not drinking is because the last time I got drunk I called Tyree and he's going to be at the party too so I'm not taking any chances.
I left the room calling my brother to find out where they were.
Tyrees pov:
Romae: Jeremiah said they're on the way back home so we need to get ready.
Me: alright. Has she gone?
Romae: Imarni? Yeah they left not long ago.
Me: kool. I'm going to get ready in her room.
Romae: have you two still not made up?
Me: na. We're done talking.
Romae: and you think that's going to stay like that?
Me: it's almost been two months.
Romae: so there isn't going to be any drama tonight? I know Jamal's going to be there.
Me: na we're good. I don't care what she's doing. She can be fucking Jamal and Romeo together for all I care. I'm done.
Romae: you saw her picture with Romeo didn't you?
Me: yeah I did. And they look perfect together.
Romae: I know you're not over her.
Me: I just don't give a fuck anymore. I'm over the arguing it's not worth it.
Romae: kool. But if you need me to get you two alone to speak let me know. You know I got you.
Me: it's kool.
I took my clothes up going into imarni's room leaning on the window sill trying to clear my head until something caught my eye. Why the fuck is there pregnancy test packets in the bin? I took the bin up to see if the result sticks were in there but they weren't. These better not be for Imarni.

Romae: you look like you're about to start some trouble.
Me: I'm good.
We got to the venue where the party's going to be, I was just finding a parking space since I'm the designated driver for tonight.
Taylor(romaes girlfriend): I thought Tianna was coming?
Me: change of plan.
Romae: bro. You know we're here to celebrate aunty's 50th. Don't start anything.
Me: I told you I'm good.
I'm lying. I want to know if imarni's pregnant.
Romae: good.

I watched Imarni from across the hall with her friends laughing to themselves. I know she hasn't saw me yet and I wasn't about to make myself seen. I started biting my jaw as Jamal started rubbing her belly making my mind go crazy. There's no way she would've got pregnant by him... No way. Not whilst I'm here.
Romae: jay just called. Tell the DJ to turn the music off, they're outside.
I went up to the DJ booth telling him to turn the music off and then I took over the mic to tell everyone to be quiet. Imarni finally saw me so I stared back at her until she got uncomfortable looking away. I don't want to have to ask her if she's pregnant but I still want to know the answer.

IMARNI'S POV:
I bursted out laughing at my mum screaming after we all surprised her. I swear I love her.
Jamal: baby are you gonna drink with me?
Me: na. I told you, I'm not drinking tonight. I just wanna have a good time.
He squinted his eyes at me then pulled me over to the bar where it was quieter.
Jamal: what's up for real?
Me: nothing I'm fine.
Jamal: promise?
I nodded rolling my eyes as he came up behind me rubbing my belly again.
Me: Jamal you need to stop doing that.
Jamal: I like the idea of you having my child.
Me: I'm not pregnant.
Jamal: I can dream can't I?
Me: nobody's supposed to know we're still fucking.
Jamal: nobody knows.
Me: are you sure? You've been rubbing my belly all day.
Jamal: everyone thinks I'm joking they won't know the reason why.
Me: I don't want to draw too much attention. You know my whole family is here.
Jamal: alright I'm sorry. I'll stop.
I slapped his hand away since he started doing it again.
Jamal: does that mean you're going to start taking the pill?
Me: no I don't want to. You just need to put condoms on.
Jamal: I can't because I want to feel you properly.
Me: then I'll go celibate instead.
Jamal: I know you can't go celibate for too long so stop playing.
Jeremiah: are you Jamal?
My heart stopped as my brother came over to us standing directly infront of Jamal.
Jamal: who's asking?
Jeremiah: I'll take that as a yes. Let me talk to you real quick.
