Could It Be Real?

• Part ; 25

Nique: Who Else Is Here?

Ray: Just Me, Roc, That Girl, Prince And Prod Said He Might Come.

Nique: Prod Was Just Here. He Had Dropped Me Off.

Ray: Oh.

Ciara Came Into The Kitchen. She Just Looked At Me And Ray. Then Sat At The Island.

Nique: Well I Have To Give The Boys A Bath, I'll Be Back.

Ciara: Can I Help?

Nique: Uh, Sure.

Ray Looked At Me Strange. I Just Grabbed One Of The Boys And Went Up Stairs. Ciara Grabbed The Other And Followed. I Was Just In Time To Stop The Water. We Took Off Their Clothes And Put Them In Their Bath Bed. I Gave Ciara A Rag And Soap. We Started Washing The Babies. It Was Quiet And Kinda Awkward. Then She Spoke.

Ciara: Do You Like Me?

Nique: Why You Ask That?

Ciara: Every Time I Get Around You It Just Get Quiet And You Leave The Room.

Nique: It's Not That I Don't Like You. It's Just Weird Being Around You. Now That You And Roc Are Together.

Ciara: Oh. Do You Love Him?

Nique: Of Course.

Ciara: So How Come Y'all Not Still Together, Is It Because Of Me?

Nique: No. Every Since We Moved In Together Things Just Changed Between Us.

Ciara: How?

Nique: We Had Our Summer Romance, But Went Through Some Up And Downs. Then I Found Out I Was Pregnant. I Wasn't Sure If It Was Rocs Or Not. Some Guy Took Advantage Of Me After My Sisters Party And Raped Me.

Ciara: *Shocked* So It Was Possible For It To Be That Guys?

Nique: Yeah. I Was Pregnant With Twins, But They Said One Died. After I Had Chresanto I Found Out He Was Rocs. I Was Happy. Then I Had Chrestain The Following Day.

Ciara: But How If You Were Only Pregnant With One Baby?

Nique: I Don't Know, I Guess The Doctors Made A Mistake. So It Turned Out That I Had Two Handsome Boys.

Ciara: That's Great.

Nique: How Old Are You?

Ciara: I'll Be 18 Next Week. You?

Nique: Just Turned 18 Friday.

Ciara: Happy Belated Birthday.

Nique: *Smiles* Thanks.

Ciara: So What Did You Do?

Nique: Nothing. I Had To Work. Then I Came Home To Drama.

Ciara: That Sucks.

Nique: Yeah.

Ciara: What Did Roc Get You?

Nique: Nothing, He Forgot.

Ciara: That's Crazy.

Nique: It's Fine Though.

Ciara: I Wanna Take You Some Where For Your Birthday.

Nique: You Don't Have To.

Ciara: Yes I Do. You Should Of Had The Time Of Your Life.

Nique: Okay.

Ciara: Let's Go Out Tomorrow.

Nique: Around What Time?

Ciara: 7:00?
