Chapter 14 Home is with you

KATHERINE

I looked around the racks at Gucci not seeing anything I really liked, I found a black collared shirt that I thought Melo would like. The collar was the Gucci print and I found a cool pair of pants that screamed his name to me but that was about it.

"Let me get this straight, you aren't speaking to him but yet you are buying him things?" Lindsey asked me laughing looking at the clothes in my hands.

"Yeah, I guess so. You can't blame me for not talking to him. He pretty much said he was only with me for sex and then pulled that whole I'm leaving you shit so I wouldn't be mad at him" I told her with a shrug. I told Lindsey everything, she was my bestest friend and it was nice to get it off my chest. We came to buy gym clothes but we got distracted surprise surprise.

"I don't know how you are still wearing that pretty little ring. Then this whole New York thing wouldn't have happened" Lindsey shrugged. She didn't get it, Zane was just a follower and didn't have the weight of the gang on his shoulders. She also didn't understand the love I had for LaMelo, I don't think she'd ever have that for Zane.

"I thought it would give us the space we need but I'm even more mad at him because it's taking him so long to want to fix our relationship. It's unfair for me to be mad about that, I mean he has to go to New York and deal with all of that. It's his job and I know when he gets back he'll talk to me but about our issues but I can't help to be mad that he hasn't already" I told her my thoughts which were so unfair. I sighed as she shook her head at me with an amused look.

"You guys are so hooked on each other it's unhealthy" She told me, I laughed smiling grabbing a dress looking at it.

"You don't even know the beginning of it. When he finally gets home he's taking a fat nap with me whether I'm mad or not. I haven't slept in 3 nights" I told her looking over my shoulder. My outfit showed I wasn't feeling like myself, I wore basic black leggings, a cameo Yeezy t-shirt, it was actually Melo's shirt and it still smelled like him thankfully. It was baggy, a dress on me that reached mid thigh, but it was comfortable. My hair was pulled back into two french braids and I didn't wear makeup, I wouldn't be able to hide the bags so I didn't even try.

"You and LaMelo were like made for each other, how you get claimed by your soulmate? Lucky little bitch" Lindsey said making me laugh as we walked up to the counter. I bought the clothes for LaMelo and then we walked out as I juggled all my bags. I had work out clothes, shoes, Victoria Secret, bath and body works, just too much.

"You don't think you and Zane are?" I asked her setting all my bags down on a bench sighing.

"No we're not" She said looking away shaking her head. I bit my lip looking at my best friend nervously not sure what to say.

"I'm pregnant Kat" She told me. My jaw dropped, my heart fell, as I stared at my best friend. Her hand went to her stomach. I stumbled over my words not sure what to say, whoa so Lindsey and Denise is pregnant.

"I'm three months. I refused to believe it when I wasn't having periods, I never got morning sickness and I'm still not showing. My doctor said the not showing was normal, I'd start showing in a month or two and some women just don't have morning sickness" She told me burying her face in her hands. Man everyone is getting pregnant, it must be in the air. I wanted to put my shirt over my nose in hopes not to catch pregnancy like it was in the air but I stopped myself from doing the pointless act.

"How is Zane taking it?" I asked her sitting next to her grabbing her hands.

"He's excited, at first he didn't say much but he's excited. I don't want to bring up a child in this life" She told me. I hugged my best friend running my hand over her hair.
