*3 Months Later*
Shante
I stepped out the shower and wrapped my pink oversized towel around my wet body, I pulled my hair into a sloppy bun and sat down on the closed toilet. My hands are shaking because I'm so nervous, I could feel my stomach knotting but I don't know if that's because of my nerves or the baby I might have growing inside me. "Fuck" I said out loud to myself. I had been putting off taking a pregnancy test because I just didn't want to know, my period was almost 3 weeks late. I picked up the home pregnancy test and looked at the blaring pink plus sign that was displayed in the test screen. "Oh my God" I said out loud to myself.
"Are you okay in there baby?" Anthony asked knocking on the door. "What's wrong?" He said turning the the door knob but luckily I had locked the door.
"I'm fine." I said slipping the pregnancy test in the pocket of my robe. I stood up and wiped my face and walked out the bathroom of our hotel room.
"You feel okay?" He said walking towards me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired." I lied to him unwrapping his arms from around me. "Let's eat." I said changing the subject.
Anthony looked at me for a few minutes in silence, the tears were still in my eyes and I knew he could tell I was lying. He reached down and grabbed my hand and started playing with my fingers. My eyes started to water, and tears started to cascade down my cheek.
"Talk to me Baby, your crying. Something is wrong. Is it me?" He asked full of concern. Wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close to his body. I could smell his cologne, Ive always loved it. I slipped my hand in my robe pocket and pulled out the pregnancy test. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"Here" I said holding the positive test in my hand showing him the results that were displayed in the window.
"Your pregnant?" He said unwrapping his arms from around my waist. He took the test out of my hand and gazed down at the results. "How late is your period?" He asked still looking down at the pink plus sign.
"3 weeks" I said looking at him trying to read his emotions. I knew it was stupid to tell him right now, I only told him because I was a mess emotionally.
"Is it mine or Derek's?" He asked finally taking his eyes off the test.
I let out a deep sigh and stared at him, a few more tears fell from my face. I used my hands to wipe my face. "I don't know." I said feeling more stupid that I put myself in this situation.
Anthony let out a small laugh and started shaking his head. What the fuck did this nigga think was funny.
"So your still fuckin him?" He asked looking right at me.
A look of confusion came across my face. "That's my husband Anthony."
"That's not your husband Shante, you don't really love him and you know that." He said getting up off the bed and walking towards me.
"Anthony don't do that." I said letting more tears fall from my face. As Anthony got closer to me I started to take steps backwards until I was against the wall.
"Don't what? Tell you the truth? I know you don't love him if you did you wouldn't be sleeping with me in hotels twice a week, telling me you love me. Lying to a man you supposedly love to be here with me." Anthony was playing with the knot on robe and had me backed up against the wall. "I'll admit it, I made a mistake. A big one, I let you get away from me. I wasn't man enough for you and I can say that shit now. I don't love Philip Shante, I love you. I want you." Anthony got the knot loose on my robe and slid it off my shoulders showing off my completely naked body. "Tell me you want me too." He said placing kisses on my collar bone.
