Love and Lust

Chapter 18

"Yes, and she was trying to rub it in my face that they were together like girl, the nigga was just kissing on me, but that's ya man?" I shook my head.

"I told you I shoulda came." She commented.

"Hell no, you would've popped off on her." I plopped down on my bed.

"Only if she deserved it." Nika shrugged.

"I meant to tell you I'm going apartment hunting with my brothers tomorrow."

"You're leaving me? I thought you were gonna keep going to school here." She had a frown on her face.

"I'm still gonna be here, it's just when the baby comes I need the right place to raise him or her." I explained.

"I guess you gotta point but I'm gonna be over there everyday."

"I know you will but where are you going?" I asked when she started getting ready.

"To this party with Kyle, he's picking me up in a hour." She started on her makeup.

"Well have fun and be safe. I'm going to sleep." I said before closing my eyes.

****
A banging on the door caused me to jumped outta my sleep. I picked up my phone to read the time.

12:27

Who the hell was at my door this late?

I popped in a mint so my breath wouldn't smell horrible and opened the door.

To my surprise it was Major.

"Major what are you doing here?" I rubbed my eyes.

"I was bored so I decided to drop by." He shrugged.

"At 12 in the morning?" I gave him a blank look.

"Can I come in?" He ignored what I said.

I thought about it for a moment before stepping aside.

"You sure ya girl won't be pissed at you for being here?" I asked as he walked past me.

"She's not my girl." He said.

"Getcho ass off my bed." I said when he layed across my bed.

"Where am I suppose to sit?" He smacked his lips.

I pulled out a chair for him to sit down in response.

He got up and sat down on the chair.

"Now, why did you come all the way over here?" I at down on my bed and faced him.

"I just wanted to talk." He shrugged.

"Okay, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Why something gotta be wrong?" He scrunched up his face.

"You got that look on your face when something is bothering you, so just tell me." I gave him my full attention. He moved next to me.

"I just feel like I'm not in control of my life." Major layed his head on my lap and I let him.

"Explain." I rubbed his head.

"Like ion have a say in what I wanna do. My Pops got my whole fuckin' life set up. You're pregnant so that complicates shit. I just feel like everybody is making decisions about my life except me." I just listened as he expressed himself.

"A nigga is only nineteen and I can't do shit because it might 'distract me from taking over the empire' like I don't even wanna do that shit."

"Have you tried talking to your dad?" I asked.

"You saw how he acted earlier, ain't no talkin' to that man. His word is final and that's how it's always been. I'm just sick of this shit."

"Can I be honest with you?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Go head."

"Your dad pushing you around is partly your fault." I told him.

"How?" he smacked his lips.

"You need to stand up to him. I'm not saying be disrespectful but you need to establish that you're not a little boy anymore. Tell him the plans you have in for your life and he should respect it." I explained.

"You might have a point." he sighed.

"I know I do." I popped his forehead. He sat up and flicked my nose.

"Can I feel it?" he stared at my stomach.

"Yeah, even though there's nothing really to feel." I chuckled and lifted my shirt.

Major placed his hand on my flat stomach. I swear I never seen him smile so hard.

"Are you bout to cry?" I asked him

"Nah, ain't nobody bout to cry." he said as a couple tears feel from his eyes.

"We really bout to have a baby. This shit is crazy." he looked up at me.

Before I could say anything, his phone went off and I noticed Dani was calling.

"You better go." I slid out of his grasp and went over to the door.

"I'll talk to you later." he kissed me on my cheek.

Just when I thought things were gonna go back to normal.
