Gangsta Lovin' || COMPLETED!

Chapter 51: April Fools for the Fools

I was going to rush Michael and tell him to hurry up but he would probably give me an egotistic reply that'll make me roll my eyes so I decided against it. I just continue to joke with Lina about the April fool's joke she played on her mom by saying that she wasn't going to be graduating. I couldn't help but to find that hilarious but I would never play that joke on my mom... at least not while she was pregnant. I didn't want to scare her so much that she almost has a heart attack or something-my mom was that dramatic.

Bored and since Michael was taking forever I decide to grab my cross-body purse and make my downstairs into the lobby of the hotel and into the gift shop. I pay for a bag of chocolate chip little Debbie little muffins just to hold me over until Michael was ready to leave. I was making my way through the store when I came across their little area for the April fool's stuff. I thought about playing one on Michael since Lina reminded me what day it was but I needed something good... and just when I thought that I had no luck I came across the fake positive pregnancy test. It was classic and I was soooo going to use it.

I hurry and pay for it and rush back up to the hotel room. I stuff the bag inside of my purse before making my way inside the room where Michael was (finally) out of the shower. He stood right next to the bed texting on his phone while standing in his towel. He looks over at me and furrows his brows.

"I just texted you" he says right as I feel the vibration in my back pocket. "Where was you at?"

"I went down to the gift shop" I hold up the bag of muffins. "You were taking forever so I needed something to tie me over." I shrug my shoulders and Michael nods his head. I toss the bag of muffins on the little desk by the phone.

"Well ima be ready in a minute."

"Okay, I just have to use the bathroom." I say gesturing to the bathroom and Michael nods his head.

After I lock the door I turn on the fan and open the box taking out the test. The lines for pregnant were already there. I rip off some paper towel and fold it letting two drips of water from the sink fall on there before putting it on the counter and setting the pregnancy test down. I flush the toilet and then turn on the water to make it seem like I used the bathroom. Now I just have to sit in the bathroom for ten minutes until Michael gets tired of waiting and comes to see what's taking me so long. But while waiting I just decide to text Lina and let her in on my little joke.

"SEMAJ!" Michael yells fifteen minutes later. "What the hell you doin? Did yo ass fall asleep or something?!" He yells and knocks on the door. I had been thinking of the saddest things in the world that could make me cry and soon I was balling and had the perfect tears streaming down my face. At least I thought it was pretty believable. I get up and reach over to unlock the door and Michael opens it immediately taken back with me crying.

"Semaj what's--" he stops mid-sentence when he sees the pregnancy test on the sink. He puts two and two together really fast and begins shaking his head in disbelief. "No. Hell nah. I used fuckin protection and you on the pill... Semaj you ain't pregnant!"

"Michael condoms break" I mumble in a low tone.

"Birth control Semaj! Birth fuckin control!" He yells at me and I shake my head wiping at the tears under my eyes.

"Michael I had been forgetting to take them okay? All that stuff was going on with my dad and then you had got arrested and I lost track but every time I tried to start it up again I would just get off track. I hadn't taken them for a while... since we did it the very first time... I think"

"How the... damn, damn, damn!" Michael yells and hits the door making me jump in actual fear. I look up at him with fear in my eyes while rubbing my hands against my thighs. This actually worked in my favor because I was actually scared from him hitting the door. I was so easily frightened.

"You only eighteen... your dad is gon fuckin' kill my ass forreal now... Mother gon be disappointed. I ain't gon never hear the end of this shit. We needa get a second opinion... we goin to get another test" Michael reaches and grabs my hand but I snatch from him.

"There is no need for another one," I sniffle and wipe at my eyes again. "That's the third one I've taken."

"When the hell did you take the first one?!" He looks at me like a deer in headlights, a shiver going down my spine. "And why the fuck am I just findin out about it now!"

I knew this was a joke. It was a simple April fool's joke but the reactions he was giving me made this feel real.

"About two or three weeks" I mumble looking away from his stare... "and I don't know..."

"So you tellin me that you can be damn near three weeks pregnant?!" He yells and I try and nod my head shamefully.

"Michael my parents are going to kill me when they find out. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. And I know you're mad... I'm sorry..." I look up at him as he stares down at me. "If you don't want the baby we can go with option two."

He cocks an eyebrow and I put my face in my hands trying to cry some more. A few seconds later I feel his hands on my knees and when I remove my hands from his face I see that he's knelt down in front of me.

"I don't know how inna hell we gon do this witchu goin to school and me attemptin at it... or whenever yo parents find out but we ain't finna kill my baby. That ain't finna happen. You understand me?" He grabs my chin in his hand and I nod my head, licking my lips. He kisses me gently before standing up and pulling me up with him. "We jus gon enjoy this trip and deal wit all of this when we get back. Right now we jus gon have to be careful... a'ight..."

I nod my head and he turns around to walk away but I grab his wrist. "There's something else..."

He lifts his head up and sighs before turning around. "I really can't take shit else... what is it?" He asks and I turn around reaching over into the bathtub and taking out the fake pregnancy box. I show it to Michael and immediately his face falls.

"April fool's!" I yell followed by a loud laugh and Michael snatches the box out of my hand. He examines it closely before throwing the box and grabbing me up making me squeal as he carries me out of the bathroom. He begins tickling me, making me twist in his hold and then he throws me on the bed to continue tickling me and I try to push him off of me but I fail. He keeps tickling me to the point where I'm crying.

"Michael stooooppp!" I yell through crackles.

Finally he stops and I try to catch my breathing and wipe away the tears.

"So you trickin niggas now and shit" he says and slaps my behind making me flip over. "Had a nigga bouta have a heart attack..."

"You actually took it semi-well. You were scaring me a bit though."

"You a good actor," he says pointing at me. "But pull some shit like that again..."

"It was nice knowing that you would stay with me though," I smile widely and Michael bites down on his lip and looks over at me.

"I was gon leave you eventually... I was jus gon wait till we got back to NOLA and then a nigga was gon pack his shit and bounce. I woulda left you fifty dollas though," he says and shrugs his shoulders and my jaw drops making him laugh.

He chuckles and winks at me making me sigh in relief and roll my eyes, "April fool's."
