Secrets

Chapter 16

"What you should have done is be smart about your finances and prepare for your child. Your girl was pregnant for 9 months and you should have been slowly but surely buying everything you need. If not, you could have asked me for a bit of help. But instead you decided to steal from me." I said.

"Please don't kill me Zeon. I will pay you back, I swear." He begged.

"I'm not about to kill you because you have a child to live for. What I am going to do is every payday, your cut will be much smaller than usual and that's how you'll be paying me back." I said then shrugged. Better be lucky that I'm sparing his life.

"Babe! Where you at?" I yelled once I entered the house, closing and locking the door behind me.

I walked down the hall and into the kitchen to see Wal-Mart bags everywhere. I sucked my teeth and turned around and jogged upstairs. I entered our bedroom to see Tayeisha standing in front of the mirror, rubbing her stomach.

"Hey babe." Tay said, turning her attention towards me.

"Why did you still drive Tayeisha? I told you to stay until I came home." I said, tossing my keys on the bed.

"It was really quick and I barely got nauseous Z." She whined.

"I don't care. You're putting our child in danger Tayeisha. You don't listen man." I stressed. I would rather drive her everywhere she goes than her driving knowing damn well she can't.

"Im sorry." She mumbled, looking down at her belly.

"Don't let that shit happen again. Just start listening. You're pregnant and can't be superwoman." I told her. She be trying to do everything.

"I'm pregnant, not handicapped. I'm already bored being in the house all day because I can't go to work." Tay whined.

She stopped working about 2 weeks ago because she was always sick and to tired to go anyways. I had no problem with her staying home because I'm fine with providing for my family and I want her to know that I got her and our baby girl.

"Anyways babe, Yolanda wants us to double date with her and her boyfriend tomorrow night." She brought up as she slipped on a pair of my sweatpants.

"I have shipment tomorrow so it's going to have to be sometime late in the evening." I said as I changed out of my work clothes and into some sweats.

"She said she wants to do it around like 7."

"Make it 8 just because of traffic and shit." I said. I was about to walk out of the room until she grabbed my arm, pulling me back.

"You really mad at me?" She asked with a pout.

"Yeah, kinda. I just want you to listen." I said. She rolled her eyes and let me go.

I chuckled and left the room and jogged down the stairs. All that talking has me hungry and I hope that there is some bomb leftovers in the fridge.

Tayeisha POV

"I don't know what to wear tonight. Do I go for sexy or conservative." Yolanda stressed as she laid on my couch, belly down.
