Breaking Point

Chapter 17

Derrick

"So this is what we do now?" I heard everything Langston said. It kind of made me mad,  just because your girl came for me doesn't mean you can come for mines, it just doesn't work that way. Walking into the room I could see them separating from each other. Zeka had her head down while playing with her fingers. Langston  Sat back down in the chair next to zeka. They both acted like they didn't hear me. So I decided to say it louder "So is this what we do now?"

"I guess" Zeka said while looking at me.

"What you mean you guess? I leave for a few hours to calm down and I come back and you confessing your love to other guys!" I yelled.

"One, I confessed my love to her. And two, theres no need to yell." Langston spoke in a calm tone.

"I can yell if I damn well please, and just because your girl wanted me because you weren't doing it right don't mean you can come at mines."

"If that's what you think then so be it. But im warning you don't play with this fire because I guarantee you will get burned." He chuckled.

"The fuck are you talking about?" I questioned.

"So now you wanna play dumb I see." I had no idea what he was talking about. "What have you been up to the past two weeks?" He raised his eyebrow and Zeka looked at me for my response. I knew what he was talking about but I just didn't know how he knew. We in two different states but he knew something that could end me and Zeka for sure. I was going to tell her eventually but not this soon. And I knew it would piss her off because she rather hear anything about me from me then someone elses mouth, I had to learn that the hard way. I felt like Zeka was staring straight into my soul and I slowly became nervous and my palms started to sweat. I just wish my mouth didn't write a check my ass couldn't cash. Langston had me in the palm of my hands and by the look on his face he knew it. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I shook my head asking God to protect me in the war I was about to fight. Opening my eyes i could see Zeka was getting fed up and ready to snap. Langston had a smirk on his face and looked calm. If he was talking about what I thought he was talking about then he held Zeka and I whole future in his hand.

"Derrick what is he talking about?" She asked restless. Zeka hated when she didn't know what was happening or the last to know. I hated when I hurt Zeka because it took a lot to gain her trust and I knew I was about to lose it. "Derrick tell me!"

"Zeka, please don't get mad at me." I pleaded to her.

"I can't make any promises right now."

"Listen Zeka you stayed through my bullshit this long you can be with me through this."

"Derrick I got a fucking scar on my face because of you. I lost a best friend because of you. My stress level and everything else is up because of you! I'm on the edge of losing our baby because of you! Why the fuck would I stay with you after more bullshit to cause me even more pain?" She yelled shaking her head.

"You guys are going to have to lower it down or your company is going to have to leave." The nurse came in a said. We all just looked at her and she walked away. 

"So either you tell me what is going on or you are. But someone better tell me wussup." She said looking at us back and forth.

"I'll tell you." Langston said sitting up. I just glared at him and he glared back then turned his attention to Zeka holding her hand. "Derrick has a----"

"Baby! I have another baby and one on the way besides ours." I said cutting Langston off staring at Zeka.

"You mean MY baby!" She yelled as her chest rapidly started going up and down.
