Breaking Point

Chapter 13

Zeka

It’s been two months since I’ve been home and honestly things couldn’t be any better. Derrick and I are making a big progress with our relationship. He comes down every other weekend to see me and that makes me happy. We text and talk on the phone a lot so our communication is awesome. I’m still talking to Shawn not on anything heavy just friends. We text almost every day and he is super funny. Derrick made him his left hand man in the game, derrick said he has been on his game better than most people that worked for him for years. His brother Aden is still kicking it with Monae, when she not with Trenton. She comes down here with Derrick and De’mani every other weekend to so it’s kind of a family reunion every time we see each other. Monae says she doesn’t see herself with Trenton anytime soon, she’s actually feeling Aden more. She hasn’t told Trenton about Aden yet she says she’s going to wait a little longer until she absolutely knows what her heart wants. I told her to do what’s best for De’mani and herself but if it was me I would see what Trenton can bring to the table and if he can’t bring anything then kick him to the curb and hit Aden back up. Alex and Langston are good, they have actually been more civilized since we got back. Even though Alex has been acting funny for the past few weeks but its whatever I’m not going to sweat it, she know I’m here when she want to talk. Speak of the devil she’s texting me now:

Alex: DS!!!!

Me: IM HOME IMMA UNLOCK THE DOOR FOR YOU, JUST COME IN IM THE BATHROOM.

Alex: OK!

Oh snap “DS” is our code for deep shit which mean something is going down or something is wrong. Standing in the bathroom finishing my last few two strand twist and having Derrick on speaker phone talking about him coming tomorrow I hear my door slam shut.

“Baby let me call you back.” I say rushing off the phone.

“Iight” then we hung up. Busting into the bathroom I saw Alex with tears in her eyes and out of breathe. She had a sloppy ponytail in her head and a plain black sweat suit with some black pumas on.

“What happened to you?” I said walking up to hug her. She didn’t say anything she just cried on my shoulder for a good 10 minutes. Moving into the bedroom so we can get comfortable to talk I dried her face with some tissue. “What’s wrong baby?” I asked while moving a piece of hair in her face behind her ear.

“I can’t do this.” Alex said shaking her head back and forth.

“Do what Alex?”

“Hide it. Hide my secret, I thought I could keep it from you but I can’t anymore. I love you Zeka but--.” she said trailing off. Now I was getting nervous. I never seen Alex like this before and me to see it now was scaring the hell out me.

“Alex just say it, I got your back. Trust me.” I said reassuring her that I was there for her no matter what.

“I’m pregnant.”

“Ok! That’s it that’s great. Did you tell Langston?” I said getting excited for her.

“No.” she said with her head down crying again.

“Why not Alex?” I asked confused.

“Because it’s not his.” She began to cry again but this time harder. I was honestly shocked for words, I never pictured Alex to step out on Langston but I mean it was probably a one night stand that went wrong.
