Who Do You Love?: Trapped in Love with a Thug (7 page)

Chapter 14

Tanesha

The time that Ace and I had in Paris was unbelievable, but I was super happy to be back in Dallas. I missed my best friend Mo, and normally when we take trips, the trips are together so we never have to miss each other.  I wish that they could have come. 

I couldn’t wait to see Mo and tell her all about my trip and I wanted to know about her Valentine’s Day as well.   We were only gone a couple of days but it feels like it has been forever.  I called Mo earlier to see if she would come over if she didn’t have anything to do, and of course she said yes.  Who could turn me down? 

I headed downstairs to wait for her; she should be here any minute now.  Ace was out checking out his houses, making sure business was running smooth.  He got a message when he got back saying that some shit had popped off while he was gone, so he had been on edge ever since we got back.  He said that he may be gone for a while but he would check in, so I guess Brandon would be too, so my BFF and I could use this time with each other.

Dingg, Donggg!

The doorbell ring and I raced to the door to get it.  I opened it up and there stood my Mo. We hugged and I let her in.

“Wassup bitch!!” I said to her.  She wiped her hair out of her face and that’s when I noticed her ring. “Bitch, no!” I yelled. “Y’all got engaged too! Oh my God! I am so happy for you, girl! Tell me everything! I want to know how he did it, what he said, I want to know everything,” I told her.

“Congratulations to you too, T!  I knew all about the whole situation. I was the who helped plan it so I hope you liked everything,” Mo said.

“Yes, I loved everything; I was so surprised to wake up in Paris, girl.  I can’t believe he got this done without my nosy ass knowing.  He didn’t even act different or anything.  He is good with giving surprises, I know that. I got some news for you too, after you tell me everything that happened with your engagement,” I told her.

“Girl, it was literally the best day of my life! He bought me a matte black Range with rose gold interior, so you know that shit is popping!  It’s outside if you wanna see it and bitch, he bought us a new house, furnished it and everything, and that is what we will be moving into when we get married!  The house is popping bitch, I love it.  He proposed to me in the house we living in now with rose petals and shit.  It was cute! Now what’s your news?” she said all in one breath. 

She didn’t even give me a chance to ask questions.  I knew she would really want to know what my news is.

“Okay, so you ready for the news?” I said teasing her.

“Bitch, yes!  Now tell me,” she said and I started laughing.

“Okay, the thing is you are going to be an auntie!” I told her and the look on her face was the same look that I had when I saw that the shit was positive.  “I know, I was wondering how and when this happened. His pull out game is weak! I thought of all the times I couldn’t fit into certain things and I kept being sick, emotional, and tired.  The signs were there I just never expected this,” I told her.

“I am so happy for you, T!” she screamed.  “Do you know how far along you are?”

“No, I don’t, but I have an appointment today which is another reason I wanted you to come over so you can go with me,” I told her seriously.  I was shocked at first but now I am very excited.  I always wanted a baby but it’s even better that I am pregnant by the man that I was planning on spending the rest of my life with, and things couldn’t get any better for me.  Minus the fact that no one has seen DeShon in the past few months and I do not know what he has up his sleeve.

We got in my new G-Wagon and headed to the hospital for my first appointment.  A bitch still couldn’t believe that she was pregnant and didn’t know it.  Where they do that at? 

“I cannot believe that this day has finally come, T! I always knew that you would be pregnant before me,” Mo said.  I just rolled my eyes because I was always the little freak out of all of us, and she would always say that I would be the first pregnant.  Shit, at least we weren’t in high school or some shit, and at least I got money so that I don’t have to worry for me and my child.

We pulled up to the hospital and walked inside.  For some reason I got nervous.  What the hell was I gonna do with a damn baby?  I would always help out with my friends’ and my cousins’ babies, but one of my own?  This is so nerve wrecking. Will I be a good mom?  I felt dizzy and had to go throw up.

“You’re going to be fine, T.  You have me and you have a man that is going to be there with you every step of the way.  You don’t have anything to worry about T, I got you,” Mo said as if she was reading my mind.

“Tanesha Farron,” the doctor called out and Mo and I followed behind her to the room. 

“How are you doing today, Ms. Farron?” the doctor asked me.

“I am doing fine, just very nervous.  I just got the positive test results and I realized that I had been feeling the symptoms for a while but just brushed it off.   My fiancé was the one who made me take the pregnancy test but he’s not here right now.  I’m really anxious to see how far along I am,” I told her honestly.  I had been drinking and smoking and getting turnt up, not even knowing that I was pregnant.  I just hope that I didn’t harm our baby.

“Well, you’re at the right place.  We are going to find that out now.  Don’t worry about if you hurt the baby or not because chances are that you haven’t.  Lie back and lift up your shirt.  I am going to pour some of this gel on your belly and then we will see your precious little baby appear on the screen,” she told me.

I did as I was told and held my best friend’s hand while we both looked at the screen.  She started moving the little wand thing against my belly and a baby appeared. 

“She’s so big already.  Oh my God, how far am I?” I said with tears forming in my eyes.  I don’t know why I said she, maybe I wanted a girl.

“It looks like your 7 months, 28 weeks to be exact! Wow, you are almost to the finish line.  I can’t believe that you didn’t know and you’re so small still.  Trust me, you’re going to blow up here soon, now that you know.  Let’s see if they will show me the gender,” she said as she starts pushing along my stomach to try and open the legs.

“Well, I am proud to announce that you are having a little boy!” the doctor told me.  I couldn’t stop crying and not just because I found all this out, but there was another problem that I was thinking about.  The doctor gave me more instructions as we stood to leave.

“Wow, T!  I can’t believe this.  We gotta tell everyone and get you a baby shower set up as well!  I’m so excited to be having a little nephew!” Mo said but I just could not stop crying.  “T, are you that happy that you just can’t stop crying or is there something else that’s bothering you?

“What if this is DeShon’s baby?  You hear that I am 7 months and we only been together for 7 months,” I finally said out loud.  Damn, this was going to be some shit.

Ace

I didn’t even have the time to enjoy the thought that I was going to be a father because I got hit with some business that could get us money and get us to DeShon.  When we got back, I got a phone call from Brandon saying that a nigga named Tae from Chicago wants to holler at us about some shit that we might be interested about, and about a common enemy.  I normally didn’t have any enemies so there was only one person that he could be talking about.

I hated to leave my baby at a time like this, but I am doing whatever it takes to make sure that our family is safe by all means.  Tae wanted us to meet him in Chicago because he was on parole and he couldn’t leave the state for a few more months. 
What kind of kingpin actually goes to jail?
is all I could think. I wasn’t worried because I always had people watching my back and I know people everywhere, so if this Tae nigga thinks that he gonna play me, he got a few bullets with his name on it.

“Man, I hope this is what we need because real shit, I’m tired of this fuck nigga trying to ruin our lives over a female.  Like nigga, let bygones be bygones and move the fuck on,” Brandon said.  I know that he was worried about Mo.  He didn’t know the news yet so I felt like this was the right time to tell him.

Buzz Buzzzz

My phone vibrated signaling a text.  Only a select few people had this number so I wondered who it could be.  Tanesha always called me because she wanted to hear everything that was going on in the background.  She tried to act like she just wants to hear my voice but I know that wasn’t the reason.  It’s cool though, I like her to be jealous; at least she wasn’t crazy.  I looked at my phone to see who it was.

Baby! I’m 7 months pregnant and it’s a boy!

I’m having a baby boy? A nigga was too excited; I always wanted my first child to be a boy.  I was so ready for him and it’s a good thing that I knew I wasn’t going to have to wait that much longer.  Damn, she must’ve gotten pregnant the first time we did it.  I knew that she was pregnant though, I could tell the signs.  I wanted to see the look on Brandon’s face when I told him; my nigga was going to be so shocked.

“What’s over there making you smile, nigga?” Brandon asked me.

“Man, you don’t even have a clue my nigga.  T is 7 months pregnant and we just now finding out.  I heard about men having their girls’ symptoms sometimes, but I didn’t believe that shit.  I had been more tired than usual and had been throwing up and shit for what felt like no reason, so I googled that shit which made me make her take a test, and it came back positive.  Her and Mo went to the doctor today and they told her,” I said smiling.

“How the hell y’all go 7 damn months without noticing that?” he said, then it looked like he thought about something else. “Wait, nigga, y’all barely been together 7 months.  You don’t think it might be that pussy nigga, DeShon’s?”

I instantly got pissed off when he said that.  Why the fuck would that nigga even think to let those words come out of his mouth.  I know deep down in my heart that this is my baby. 

“Nigga, hell no that ain’t his bitch ass baby growing inside my bitch! I just said that I was having the symptoms too, nigga,” I told him.  I didn’t mean to come at him like that but that shit had me hot to even think of it.

“Here go that nigga now,” Brandon said and I was glad because that could get my mind off the baby thing.  T and I were going to have a conversation about this when I got back though. 

“Wassup my nigga?” I said and extended my hand to Tae, and he dapped me and Brandon up then we got down to business.

“Aight, so there is this weak ass nigga named DeShon that came out here from Dallas tryna take my city over, and I ain’t having that.  He saying that he’s the middle man and that he gets all y’all shit to y’all.  He named you two in particular since y’all run the Dirty D.  He said I can have all his supply for 10 million and to have y’all followed and killed.  We had y’all followed and even tried to rob y’all niggas. I realized then that y’all were some real niggas. Y’all killed a few good men and I thought to myself I hadn’t heard from this pussy nigga since I robbed y’all and gave him 10 million.  I did my research and I found out this pussy nigga beefing with y’all over a bitch.  So I wanna team up with y’all and get my money back and kill that pussy,” he said. I swear I was about to black out.  I was seeing red at the moment.

This nigga was the one following Brandon and this nigga calling my fiancée a bitch?  I see we may have a fucking problem.

Chapter 15

Tae

As I was telling this nigga the story of what went down between me and DeShon, he was over there looking like he had a problem or some shit.  I need to know if he had a problem or not because we can go right now; it’s nothing to a nigga like me, for real.  I’m tryna help this nigga out and he looking like he got beef with me.  Okay, we gone see.

I interrupted my story to speak.  “Aye bruh, you got a problem or something?” I asked him getting tired of the little looks he was giving me.

“Nah I don’t have a problem right now because I’m assuming that you don’t know that the woman you keep referring to as a bitch is my fiancée, nigga,” he said, and I was shocked as hell to know that.

“My bad, bruh.  I didn’t know.  So you the other nigga in this beef?” I asked.

“Man, it ain’t even like that. I swooped in and took her from his ass and he shot her and I shot his ass.  Now he been fucking with my businesses and that’s where my beef comes in.  Why beef about something that’s already yours?” he said.  I was about to respond but he continued talking.

“Now, I do have a problem sitting in this bitch with you right now knowing you the nigga that tried to rob me.  I’ma let that shit slide this once though since you coming through for us.”

“I feel you Ace, but it was all a misunderstanding.  You killed my men though so we’re even,” I said back to him.  I was glad that we could be men about the situation at hand.

We made up a plan that I would go to Houston where the little bitch is hiding out at to see him about my money, then at that time, we would run up on him and kill everything in sight.

“Man, this shit better work because we got a baby on the way and I don’t need any bullshit going on,” Ace said.

“I think that before we go out there we should have some of our soldier’s stake out the place and let us know what we are working with, in terms of security and shit like that.  We have this guy name Marquis who is like all tech savvy and shit, and he can disarm the security system and more,” Brandon said.

“Damn, y’all niggas doing the thang I see,” I said to them and we laughed.  I was going to stay at Ace and Tanesha’s house during our stay down there before we go to Houston.  I am ready to meet the woman that caused all this drama. I wanna see what she looks like for myself because this Tanesha sounds real familiar.

Mo

I can’t believe that T is pregnant!  I just pray that it is Ace’s baby because that’s some shit that I don’t want to be a part of, for real.  Those niggas are crazy and that’s a blood bath waiting to happen.

“I already know what I am going to name my baby boy though,” Tanesha said smiling.  I’m not surprised if she does know because this bitch has been planning her kids name since we were in the sixth grade. I laughed out loud at the thought.

I smiled and said, “Okay, what’s baby boy’s name?”

“Kaleb Christian Peters,” she said.  I loved the name, it was everything.

“Bitch, you may have to have another last name if it’s not his,” I said to her and her smile instantly dropped.

“I feel like it’s our baby though, Moniece.  I just know it is and I am going to speak that shit into existence if it’s not.  Do you think that he will leave me if our child turns out to be DeShon’s?” she said.  I felt so bad for my friend because she really looked so sad by this and it’s not her fault.  She didn’t ask to be pregnant so if it’s not Ace’s baby, he better deal with that shit!

“Everything is going to work out for the best T, don’t even worry about it,” I told her as we pulled up back to her house.

We both got out and I started to walk to my car. When she noticed that I wasn’t following her, she turned around and gave me this crazy ass look like I couldn’t leave.  If looks could kill, I would be dead for sure at this rate.

“Uhhh bitch, where do you think that you are going?” she asked me with all the attitude in the world.  I swear she hates when I leave her, and I am the oldest out of us so it should be the other way around.

“Can a bitch go home?” I asked her.  I needed to go home and get ready for my man’s arrival because he did tell me that they were on their way home.  I was excited and I wanted to get some dick so I had to go and get ready.

T rolled her eyes so hard I thought that they were going to pop out of her head. “Uh huh bitch, you not slick. I know that you just trying to rush home so you can get some dick.  Yeah, I got the message too!” she said and smiled at me, while making a circle with one hand and sticking her finger in the circle with her other hand.

I burst out laughing at the sight. “Bitch, you childish!” I said to her and flicked her off before I got in my car and sped off to my house with Brandon.  I couldn’t wait to see my baby.  I am going to rock his world tonight! The way I’m feeling I may turn out to be the next one pregnant.

Before I could get into my car good, Ace’s car pulled up. There was someone in the passenger seat but it wasn’t my baby Brandon because I just got a text from him saying that he just made it home and was wondering where I was at.  I looked up and saw Tanesha looking too.  When the person in the passenger seat came out, Tanesha and I both stared at each other not believing the sight that we saw. 

Shit was about to become real crazy real fast.
