Chapter 7:
"No, no, no, no, no. I can't go in there, Cami. HE'S here. Therefore, I shouldn't be."I say, starting to get emotional.
"This is your house, don't let him take that from you."She says getting out. She comes around my side and waits for me to get out. I finally get out.
"I hate you."I say. She smiles grabbing my hand and the cupcakes.
"And to think just this morning you loved me!"She says amused. I roll my eyes getting out my keys.
"Yeah well my hormones are all over the place so right now you're being hated."I say smiling as I open the door.
"Aww, you could never hate me."She says. I turn and look at her.
"Aw you're right, I love you!"I say, taking the cupcakes. I turn around and see Farrod sitting on the couch. Holding an ice pack to his eye. His lip is busted but stitched up. Javi....I thought I told him to stay out of it. I walk past Farrod to the kitchen.
"Are you gonna ignore him?"Cami says.
"I'm debating on it. But right now, I want some cupcakes."I say, pulling a peanut butter Oreo one, out and a salted caramel. I cut them in half and put the in a bowl, topping it with cookie dough ice cream. I get a spoon and start to walk to the living room.
"I'll be in here."Cami says turning on the TV in the kitchen. I walk into to the living room and sit on the couch opposite from Farrod. He looks at me with pleading eyes.
"First I wanna say if someone told you come here, then just leave now."I say.
"Nobody told me to come here, Laina."He says.
"Good. Now go 'head and say what chu got to say."I say. I start eating my little concoction of cupcake and ice cream.
"Lemme just say, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."I purse my lips, trying not to remember, "I guess I was in shock, and I on't know I felt like I was being attacked. Like every girl out here was tryna trap me in some way."I nod, gesturing for him to continue. "But I should've known you better. You not that type. You too classy for that. I guess...I was scared." His confession shocks me.
"Well how do you think I felt, Farrod? I was terrified. And then the way you reacted really through me for a loop. You broke my heart, you really did."I say as tears run down my face. He slides closer to me, I recoil from his touch. Even though I miss it.
"I'm so sorry, Laina. I'ma do everything possible to fix it. To fix us. Because you are the woman I love and the woman of my unborn child—"
"Children."I correct. His face crumpled in confusion.
"What?"He says.
"I'm having twins."I say. His eye widen.
