Gang over Love

Chapter Twenty

Meilani Marie

It's been a week since Melody came to live with me. It's so hard trying to balance her life and mine. She's so demanding now that she's pregnant. And it bothers me so much, but I keep my thoughts to myself to avoid arguments.

She still hasn't found out who the dad is and that honestly worries me. Melody seems so unbothered by it, like she doesn't realize that she'll be raising a child by herself.

But I just try to give her space to make her own decisions.

Aside from dealing with her, I've been talking to James a lot lately. We vibe so well together and I can tell he likes me a lot. But there's just so much that he doesn't know about me. And I don't want him to feel over whelmed with my  baggage so I just keep stuff to myself.

Gianni has been trying to reach me nonstop since the last time I saw him. He's been calling and texting me all day everyday, and never takes a hint when I ignore or block him.

It's funny how he never gave me a genuine heartfelt apology. I don't know the facts on the situation with him and that girl, and I don't need to. He's become nothing to me, simply someone I used to know.

And for some reason Zay has been on my mind too lately. Even though I only knew him for a little while there's still something about him that I kind of like. Now that I'm more emotionally stable I can view the situation clearer. He met me at a bad time and I bet if we met for the first time now we would hit it off.

It's starting to feel like my love life is a fatal four way. I have three very handsome men all in my messages and I manage to still have some sort of feelings toward them all.

But at the moment James is the only one getting my attention.

There's something about him that seems special. But then again that's what I said about the last few guys I messed with. They all seem different, but not always in a good way.

Which is why my trust issues are so bad nowadays. You never know who's going to end up hurting you. But living in fear isn't good either. So I just don't know what to do with myself.

Shaking the thoughts away, I yawned and got out of bed.

Walking to my room door, I stopped in my tracks as I heard Melody on the phone with someone. I didn't mean to invade her privacy, but the conversation seemed alarming.

And luckily she had the phone on speaker

Melody's Phone Convo

Mel: "Calm down, she won't find out about you."

Man: "She better not im not playing with you."

Mel: "she thinks that I don't know who the dad is, and she let me stay in the house."

Man: "good make sure she doesn't know it's mine. I have plans for her later. So just continue staying there like we discussed."

Mel: "I will. But it's so boring here me and her don't even talk anymore. I don't know why I have to stay here for the plan to work."

Man: "you have to keep being her friend to get inside info. You know this."

Mel: "well how about you be her friend and get your own damn info I'm bored!"

She screamed hanging up the phone.

End of phone convo

I open my door quickly and came face to face with Melody. I sized her up, but played it cool pretending I didn't hear her conversation.

"Oh Goodmorning Mei I didn't know you were up." She said avoiding eye contact

"Yeah same to you..." I said suspiciously

"Well I have an ultrasound today if you'd want to come too." She said while walking down the hall

"Sure what time?" I asked

"In thirty minutes." She said nonchalantly

"THIRTY MINUTES?!" I exclaimed

"Calm down it's only down the street. Throw on some clothes and lets go."

Rolling my eyes I grabbed my keys and a baseball cap and headed to the garage.

I looked at all of my cars then finally picked one and waited for her to join me.

I couldn't get her odd conversation out of my mind. The voice sounded so familiar but I couldn't place a name to the voice. But, I planned to let it go for now and get answers later.

Once she got in the car I zoomed down the street to the clinic. We went straight to the front desk, before being escorted to the room.

Melody decided to use the rest room quickly so I stayed in the room and the doctor walked in.

"Oh um your not Melody and surely not pregnant. I must be in the wrong room my mistake." He said rambling

I stopped him and said "I'm her friend she's in the restroom."

He looked relieved and handed me a clip board to hold until Melody returns.

It looked like her medical record from this clinic.

But one thing startled me.

At the top of the paper it say the names of the parents of the baby.

And I was shocked when I saw the name next to "Father."

I dropped the clip board and stormed out.

Angrily I got in my car not caring that she's stranded. I can't believe her!

Out of all men to have kids with why did she choose him and lie about it.

I'll get answers when she gets home that's for sure.
