Mine

Chapter 19

CHANEL

We sat on the couch catching up with each other. Troy finally left, I don't know what kind of weed he smoked but he was definitely on another planet at this point. I'd been holding off telling him a gender and he'd probably been holding off on asking because he didn't mention it. Maybe he was still getting used to even being out, eight months wasn't long on the outside but who knows how it was on the inside.

"So where we moving to since you ended up taking the deal?" I asked taking a sip of my wine. We'd taken a shower together and gotten comfortable after ordering some chinese food.

"Miami beach, I already for everything set up all you gotta do is get on the plane"

"Why Miami, it can be nice but..."

"Thats exactly why, I can make some connections and build my shit down there maybe take shit over I don't have much of a plan yet just know we gone come out on top as always" he sounded so enthusiastic talking about it, I tried to share that same passion but I really ain't want nothing to do with street shit after this. I didn't want him going to new territory trying to run shit cause if it was another him down in Miami everything could get crazy all over again. I didn't wanna argue though so there was nothing to say to that.

He reached over rubbing my stomach again seeming concentrated. I guess this would be the right time to drop the bomb on him.

"He's on my left side right now if you can feel it..he usually start kicking at night..." I said meeting his eyes, I couldn't even read if he was happy or not.

"He? We having a lil nigga huh" he said sitting back looking at me.

"A lil king actually" I said smiling and touching where he was. Cairo just nodded staring off into space for a minute before coming back to me.

"You done? I wanna show you the house we got, I already had it furnished I just left a room blank for the baby I'm not gone be good at designing that part" he said getting up and going to get his phone off the charger. He plopped back next to me showing me the outside. I had to admit the place was gorgeous. I'd probably never wanna leave after going and staying there.

"This is so pretty" I said scrolling through the pictures before his phone vibrated and a message dropped down:

Unknown number
"Papi come visit me I'm off-"

Was all I'd seen before he pulled away, just what we needed to ruin the night right?

"I think they got the wrong number you see it ain't even saved in my phone" he said already explaining despite not even being asked. Thats how you know niggas be guilty, they start explaining shit when you don't even react.

"Okay" I said shrugging and swallowing the last bit of wine I had left.

"I swear, plus how Imma cheat in jail thats dumb as fuck" he continued on putting his phone down looking at me.

"I haven't said shit babe..you said you didn't know the number I'll trust you..." I said laying back on the couch and grabbing my phone. I could feel him staring at me but he didn't say anything and instead tutned the tv on.

"I'll be back," he said getting up and going upstairs.

As much as I wanted to follow I felt too tired and weighed down to really move. So I let it go.

CAIRO

I guess I learned my lesson on this cheating shit. I wasn't even sure how Maya had gotten my number but knowing her she'd probably asked Byron for it. All I know is she ruining shit for everybody and I wasn't bout to allow it, she needed to get the memo before she end up in a ditch somewhere.

Just as I was about to call her she called me, i answered trying to remain quiet.

"Aye stop fuckin' callin' me I already told yo ass the deal" I snapped before she could say anything.

"Cair stop pushing me away we both know you don't want that baby or its mama, why can't you just come see me one more time" she whined completely skipping over me.

"Maya I swear on everything I got if you don't stop calling here we gone have a problem" I hung up the phone and to my surprise she ain't call back so hopefully she actually listen.

I went back downstairs to see Chanel in the same spot as I left her, playing on her phone. I was kinda surprised she wasn't at my neck over the text but maybe she finally did trust me..or maybe she had another nigga already lined up for when I fuck up. Y'all know how it go.

"Everything handled?" She asked putting her phone looking at me.

"Yea it was a business call" I said scrolling through and blocking the number. I was planning on being gone by the time Maya might try to pop up so I wasn't worried. Last thing I needed was catching another case for killing somebody, especially at this point.
