Mine

Chapter 16

Later on that night...

CHANEL

It was 8 at night when the doorbell rang, I was just hoping the police weren't here to arrest me now to be honest.

I got up tying my robe and going downstairs to open the door to Chief Byron standing there. This dude gave me creep vibes all of a sudden.

"Can I come in we should talk" he said looking at my stomach then back at my face.

"Nah say what you gotta say here I don't trust none of y'all cops" I said shrugging and leaning up against the door way.

"Your boyfriend wanted me to come and set up a meeting with you for in the morning at 6..I'm sure he's unaware that you're pregnant or else he would've mentioned it to me...huh" he trailed off as if he wanted to say more. There was definitely something going on here and I didn't like it.

"Why you had to show up here to say one sentence? You got my number yet you show up here tryin' to scope the place out."

"Believe me Chanel if I wanted you in jail I could have you in jail...Just don't be late alright you aren't even supposed to get this visit but luckily I'm here to save the day again" he winked and smiled before walking back to his car.

He irritated my soul, and the fact that he wanted to take credit for anything really pissed me off even more. I rolled my eyes as he waved back at me before hopping in his car and driving off, now I had to figure out what Cairo was even speaking with him about. Everything seemed like a set up at this point and further enforced my view on everyone being fake.

I waited until Byron was back up the road before I went back upstairs and got back into bed. If I had to be up early I wanted to at least be in a good mood. I hated mornings and I hated being woken up from a good ass sleep and with the way this pregnancy was going I was already tiring out easily. I just hoped Cairo's reaction was the one I wanted this time because if it wasn't I'd question my decisions to put everything on the line for him once again.

Morning: 5:55 a.m. (Chanel's POV)

I yawned walking down the hall to the visitation room. It was completely dead and I could already tell Byron was fitting us in before hours even started. The man was definitely hiding something, what Chief goes through all of this to help the man totally opposite from him? I'd never really thought about until now.

I walked through the doors just as Cairo was being escorted in by a female cop. She made eye contact with me before uncuffing him and walking back to guard the door.

Cairo stood there stunned for a minute checking me out, he didn't say a word. I smiled a bit making my way over to him staring up at him but his eyes remained on my stomach.

"Well you wanna sit?" I asked finally breaking the silence between us. He nodded pulling my chair out before sitting in his, I couldn't tell if he was happy or what but I wasn't gonna jump to any conclusions and cause an argument. Now wasn't the time or the place especially being monitored like this.

"How far along are you?" He said finally speaking up.

"Four and a half months currently...I don't know the gender I really want you to be there when we find out baby"

"So its mine right?" He said fucking up everything. As always.

I fixed my face up looking at him crazy, this nigga always found away to fuck with me. Here I am doing everything he wanted and this is the shit he always throws at me.

"I mean unless I'm the next Mary carrying Jesus then of course it's yours what would even put that type of doubt in your head?" I asked getting somewhat defensive. He just shrugged sitting back in his seat looking at me.

"I'm just asking cause we got a lot to think about if we gone start a family right now...Chill out ma"

"Byron said you wanted to meet with me, your business is doing fine, I'm doing everything you asking of me so what is it you need now" I said snapping on him a bit. I wasn't even excited to share the news with him about the baby.

"Here's the deal he tryna hook me up with; We basically drop off the face of LA in exchange for clearing all this shit up...but the thing is Imma lose everything I worked for thats what's making me lean towards just doing the sentence"

"So you rather spend however many years in jail then come out and we move and just start over together...its no gurantee that you'll survive in here Cairo if you don't take the deal they could always just kill you and frame you for suicide.."

"Nah I highly doubt that shit you thinking too deep you and the baby can always come visit-"

"See you really being selfish right now, I'm runnin' a dangerous game runnin' your shit while pregnant for you Cairo, I don't think the word has spread too much that you locked up but when people start noticing they will come after me, its not like I'm much of a weapon right now I get tired just from going from the living room to the kitchen at this point you need to take the deal"

"I'm thinking bout our future Chanel, say we do move what the fuck is supposed to happen then??"

"We be normal! I don't wanna always have to deal with you in and out of jail, or us constantly in jail! Its not healthy to bring a child into none of that do you really wanna live life not sure if you'll be dead the next day?"

"See thats the point niggas here know not to fuck with me. You wanna move somewhere else where motherfuckers don't know who I am and what my impact is and risk being killed rather than staying with whats familiar"

" Listen if you can build something up once you can do it again, you're powerful you know that so why can't you just take the fucking deal and come be with me huh? And why the fuck does this bitch keep staring me down like she got a problem" I snapped turning my attention to the woman guarding the door. She'd been giving me looks everytime I said something, it was like the bitch was jealous I was sitting infront of him right now.

"I don't know...I just don't it seem like we trying to go two different directions and I'm not ready to just give up everything I worked for"

"Well I'm not ready to die and I'm not ready to be a single mother but if I have to then I'll do what I gotta do at this point" I said getting up and grabbing my purse. I was trying to avoid crying infront of him, I hated crying over him, infront of him, part of me felt like this was what he wanted but then I thought back to other times and I knew he cared.

"You really just gone leave" He asked standing up and coming to the other side of the table.

"We on two different roads Cairo if you decided to change your mind you know where I'm at, if not I'll send you letters but I'm not losing this baby and I'm not arguing with you over this nomore" I said trying to talk out the lump in my throat.

He reached out to grab me but I turned away and walked out, I truly had alot to think about after hearing all of this.

Thoughts?
