Melanie
After hours of looking around for a prom dress, I finally found the perfect one. It's a off white long silky gown, with only one strap going across my right shoulder there's diamond studs going across the chest part. It fits my body perfectly, even with my big belly sticking out. I love it.
"Baby my feet hurt" I complain wobbling into the living room where Tyrone was playing his Xbox, he's such a big kid. We had just gotten home like a hour ago.
"I'll massage them for you, if they don't stink" He laughs turning away from the game and looking up at me.
"Shutup, my feet smell good plus I just got the shower" I pick up a pillow and throw it at his peanut head. Then I sit down on the couch and put my feet up on his lap.
"Mel, your feet are small as hell. You sure you aren't half leprechaun?" he asks laughing at his joke
"Tyrone massage my feet before I kick you in your mouth" I say trying to fight back the laugh I held inside. Even when he's making fun of me I can't help but laugh at his silly ass.
"I see you trying not to laugh Mel" he says starting to rub my right foot. God it felt relaxing, carrying this baby is harder then I thought it would be. But to be honest I'm loving every minute of it, T.j and I have a special connection already.
"Whatever" I gave him a dimpled smile
"So, when do you plan on talking to Jay again?" he asks, catching me completely off guard. Where the hell did that come from?
"Where did that come?" I ask looking at him with my eyebrows raised
"From me, it's been month's and you guys still haven't spoken to each other, what's up with that?" he asks switching from my right foot to my left foot
"If Jay wants to speak to me, he can call me. He has my number" I say nonchalantly. I'm still feeling a little salty about what went down at Raheem's mother wake a couple of months ago. At the time I felt like Jay was being messy and I still do. It seemed like he wanted to ruin my realtionship with Tyrone.
"Yeah, but you have his number too. You could call him, he's leaving Compton soon don't you want to at least try and patch up y'all friendship?" He looks into my eyes trying to find an answer to his question, but I honestly didn't have one. If Jay hasn't spoken to me in five months and vice versa then obviously our friendship wasn't shit to begin with.
"I don't know, why are you so worried about it?"
"Cause you and Jay have been friends since yall were little kids. Now y'all both are grown and finna graduate high school next week, you really going to let some petty shit that happened months ago ruin y'all lifetime friendship?" he asked while playing with my toes. Weird ass.
"Ugh, I guess not" I sigh thinking about all the shit Jay and I have been through over the years, he's had my back through whatever. Yeah, we've been through some arugements but at the end of the day he's my bestfriend and I'll do anything for him.
"Exactly, he texted me earlier and wanted to meet up with you" he says quickly
"And what did you tell him?" I ask
"I kinda sorta told him you'd meet him up with em. You are aren't you?" He looked at me poking out his bottom lip and giving me the puppy dog eyes. He looked so cuteee, and he knows I can't tell him no when he does that.
"Alright, fine I'll meet up with him. I kinda miss his yellow ass anyways" I admitted
"That's my nigga" Tyrone says with a smile "And I'm pretty sure he misses you too"
"Well of course he does, I'm Melanie" I say with a laugh
"And I'm Tyrone, now lets go to bed" He stands up and let's out a big yawn
"Carry me?" I ask poking out my bottom lip like he did a few minutes ago
"Be glad I love your ass" he picks me up bridal style
"Don't drop me Ty"
"Girl you carrying my seed, I would never drop your beautiful ass" he says with a laugh
"Aww, gimme kiss" I said bringing my lips close to his "I love you"
"I love you to baby girl" He kissed me passionately.
I honestly think Tyrone is the one for me. I can see us getting married, and popping out a few more kids. I love him with all my heart, nothing's gonna ever change that. Right?
The next day....
Tyrone
"So how much does this one cost?" I ask the sales lady as I look through the glass case at a beautiful diamond ring for Melanie. It's Friday, and I'm at the mall looking for a ring for Mel. Before you piss your pants, no this is not a engagement ring! It's something like a promise ring, to let her know I love her and T.j.
"That one is six hundred dollars" she answers
"Yo, don't get that shit Tyrone" my bestfriend Devon added in. This has been my nigga since we were little kids, we grew up in the Bronx together, and we been in the drug game together. He still is, but I'm out the game. He's like a brother to me.
"And why not?" I turned my attention away from the ring and look up and him. This nigga looks like a hood version of Wale.
"Cause it's cheap as hell, and it looks like something my grandmother would wear" he says in his thick New York accent. I still have mines, but it's going away day by day. I've been in Compton way to long.
"Nigga, shut the hell up! I think it's nice, Mel gone love it" I say looking at it again, the three diamonds sparkled from the lights in the store.
"Son, I think she would like something like this" he said pointing to a different ring
"You don't even know her" I pointed out
"And? Nigga imma be meeting her this afternoon when I go to yo crib, now come check this ring out" He looked down at a ring with one diamond in the middle that was light blue, and two small diamonds on each side that were silver. It's iced out, pluse light blue is Mel's favorite color.
"I think imma cop it" I say checking the price, it was one thousand dollars. Hm, not that bad. Melanie's worth it.
"See, I always know what's right. You better be glad I talked you outta buying that cheap ass ring" He ran his head over his long dreads. Nigga had them dreads all his life.
"Yeah yeah whatever, how long you plan on staying down here?" I ask him as the sales woman rung up the ring for Mel.
"Probably for like a week, can't stay away from the Bronx for long" He says checking the time on his phone. I nodded my head in agreement.
"That will be one thousand dollars and seventy eight cents" The sales lady says. I pull out my wallet and pay for Melanie's ring. I hope she likes this, I plan on giving it to her tonight at prom. I want this to be a night she'll always remember.
"Devon you ready to roll?"
"Yeah bruh" He says following me out of the store. As we were walking through the mall, I heard a very familiar voice calling my name. At first I thought my mind was playing games with me. But then I noticed Devon was hearing it to.
"Tyrone, Tyrone!" the voice repeated
"Some chick trying to holla" Devon says with a laugh as I turned around to see who it was.
"Erica!?!" Devon and I both exclaimed at the same time. I couldn't believe it, it was my baby mama. What the hell is she doing here? I haven't seen her since Leanna's funeral.
"In the flesh baby" She says with a bright smile while bringing me into a hug.
Oh. My. God. This is not good, Erica's a good person at heart but she's known to be messy. I just know some shit gonna pop off.
