Forbidden Love

Ch. 20

Rebecca
"Oh want you, stay with me.
Cause you're, all I need.
This is love it's clear to seeeee"

"Those are not the words!"I laughed as I tried to free myself from Mathew.

He had his arms gripped around my ankles. It's 3 p.m. I had been with him all last night,all morning, and now he doesn't wanna let me know.

"You're acting like a child!" I shook one leg free. "Big baby."

"But I'm your baby."

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Bae please let go. I gotta go see KeKe."

"Ugh. Fine." He got off the floor and pouted with his arms crossed.

I laughed. "I'll be back." I pecked his poked out lip. He lip curled up into a grin. I shook my head and walked out the door.

***

I parked my car in front of the town house KeKe always tell me to drop her off at. This area was run down. It was hookers everywhere, druggies, and thugs. To say I wasn't scared would be a lie. I zipped up my jacket and rushed out my car and to her front door.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

The door flew open revealing a very skiny light skin woman. Her hair was a mess,her skin looked dry, and her clothes were barely hanging on her.

"What." She said in a raspy voice.

"Um...can I speak to KeKe?"

"Who?"

"Keke...Kiara....your daughter?"

"Daughter?!"

I stared at her with a blank expression. " I'm sorry. I think I have the wrong house."

I walked away as she closed her door back shut. I saw a guy walkin up the street and recognized him as the guy who would always speak to KeKe when I dropped her off.

"Hey!"I shouted out the him.

He looked in my direction and I waved him over. He jogged across the street and stopped in front of me. "What's up ma? You KeKe friend right?"

"Yes! Have you seen her?"

"That's yo ride?" He asked referring to my car.

"Yea.."

"Get in. I'll show you there."

"Where?"

"Where she lives. Duh."

I didn't know if I should trust him. He could be a serial killer for all I know. I started towards my car and he followed.

"You aint gon try no kinky shit are you?"

He laughed. "I got a girl. Young ass."

I chuckled. "Get in."

***

"What the fuck is this?"

"Her house.."

"This bitch told me she lived in the projects!"

"Really Rebecca? Do you see the shit that girl wear? And you really think she lived there? It's all a cover up baby. That's ha ride right there." He said pointing to hot pink camero.
That bitch. All those times I've given her rides,done things for her,and she living like this? I swung the door open and proceeded to charge,but Black grabbed my arm.

"Rebecca, I wouldn't do that if I was you."

"Fuck that."

I snatched away from him and ran to the door. BANG. BANG. BANG. "Kiara! Open this got damn door!" It opened and there was a gun pointed right at my face.

"Aye bitch,what the fuck is wrong with you!"

"Aye yo,she with me!" Black said appearing by my side.

"You better get cho chick Black,foe I bust one in that ass."

"I gotcha bruh. Where Ke?"

"She upstairs. I'll go get her."

"He descended back into the house leaving me in a shaken shock. Now I'm not scared of guns,but I've never had one pointed at me,threatening my life!

"Becca you good?"

"Y-yea I-i j-just a lil s-shooken up W-who the fuck was that?"

"Body guard."

"For fuckin what?!"

Black sighed. "I'll let her tell it." He said pointing towards the door.

KeKe was standing there looking stunned. I mugged her. I thought back to the last time I seen her at school. Lisa found her throwing up in the bathroom. She's pregnant. I looked at her growing tummy and seen a little baby bump starting to appear.

"How did you find me?"

"How did I find you?! Why did I have to come find you?! Why have you been ignoring me?!"

"I'm gonna go sit in the car..."Black said backing away.

"Look Rebecca,it's too much to explain."

"Keke we're best friends! There isn't anything I wouldn't tell you-"

"Who the fuck out here with all that hollarin?"

I knew the voice all too well. Hakeem stepped into the doorway next to Kiara. "Oh shit."he cussed under his breath.

"What the fuck you doin here?!"

"I live here. Fuck you mean."

"Yal related or sum?"

"Fuck no." They both shouted.

They both looked nervous as fuck so I knew some shady shit was goin on. "Kiara who you pregnant by?"

"What?! Who said I wa-"

"Bitch don't play with me right now. Might as well come clean!"

"I-i um I'm pregnant by Hakeem, Rebecca. Ok. There it is."

"You pregnant?!"he shouted.

"Yes. And Rebecca I'm so sorry." She tried reaching out to me.

"Fuck you!" I said backing away. "I hope you two are happy with each other!"

I ran back to my car and got in and sped off before Kiara could get to me. My vision was blurred. I was speeding. I was swerving. "Rebecca stop!"

I came to a halt and sobbed. "She's pregnant by Hakeem. She was supposed to be my best friend! What the fuck bruh!"

Black wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. "I understand. I know you're hurting. I've had mutha fuckas turn on me before too. I mean,they ain't here now cause I had to kill em."I chuckled. He said that so casually. "But ma,the story runs so much more deeper than that,and I think you need to give her chance to explain."

"I don't wanna talk to her."

"I understand,but please give it some thought."

I sighed. "Ok.."
