Trinity:
"Repeat that.." Teshera spike after a moment of silence
"She's the mother of my child" Juan said slowly ; flinching once he seen me clench my fist
I went to part my lips, but I received a look from my mom. So I excused myself and made my way back to the kitchen. I was just going to deal with the situation later. Stressing this was the last thing I wanted to do. I opened the pizza box with my name on it, grabbing a slice.
"You not eating a whole pizza tonight" I hear George scowl at me as I eat the cheese off my slice
"She got a tape worm or something" Daniel jokes earning a side eye from me
"I had the munchies that night" I defend myself causing George to give me a "mhm"
I straight face him, shortly rolling my eyes once I heard Aliyah loud ass. She and Juan joined us in the kitchen. Shawn clears his throat before excusing himself, out the back door.
"I'll be back, see y'all in a few" I say grabbing two more slices and my keys off the island
"Where you going?" Daniel ask with a curious look on his face
"Don't wait up" I murmur, rushing out the kitchen and into the foyer
Bibby was sitting on the steps, talking to OG. Their eyes fell on me as I made my way to the door, halting their conversation.
"Where you going pretty girl?" OG ask as I open the door
"Alice needs me at home for something" I answer
"I'll ride with you" Bibby says standing to his feet
"No.." I answer quickly getting a look from them both "It's personal.."
"I'm still going" Bibby shrugs
I let out a sigh of defeat. I text Ariana and told her, I'll be over in the morning. And just to my luck Alice was going through something. I laid my passenger seat back as Bibby drove to my townhouse.
"You okay?" He ask breaking the silence
"How long did you know?" I asked him, seeing him tense up
"I found out after the trial" He mumbles
"And you didn't tell me?" Now I was upset with him
"What happened to fucking honesty is key!" I snapped on him "what the fuck else you hiding?"
"I'm not hiding shit, so shut the fuck up" He snaps back at me, pulling the car over
"You expect to believe that? If you could hide that, you can hide anything" I fumed with anger
"Watch your fucking tone Trinity.." He was inches away from my face
"Or what?" I pushed him back "We wouldn't have this problem if you didn't hide this from me"
"I kept it away from you for this exact reason..." He gripped my face "I ain't the nigga to swell up on, I will knock yo shit back" he adds before roughly letting my face go
I bit my lip, just as hot tears fell down my face. My emotions were all over the place. I was mad and also hurt at the same time.
"Suck it up, your feelings just hurt" Bibby says bluntly never taking his eyes off the road

Alice and Ariana both looked at me as I explained to them about last night. I made sure to leave out Bibby and I's heated argument. Ariana downed her Long Island ice tea, calling for a refill. I shook my head no as the server asked if I wanted a refill on my lemonade. My phone vibrated for the fourth time with a call from Bibby.
I wasn't really on speaking terms with him at the moment. Guess you can say my feelings were really hurt. That was the first time he's ever put his hands on me like that. At this point I just wanted to keep my distance from him. But I knew that was going be impossible, since we had a night out with our families tonight.
"So, how your mom feel bout the situation?" Alice ask starting up a new conversation
"She's a lil hot but Juan doesn't care" I shrug it off
"That was plain out disrespectful" Ariana kisses her teeth
"Honestly.." Alice agreed with her
"This the same girl that tried to kill me, stalked me, and ruined my relationship at one point.." I roll my eyes at the thought "And he had the nerve to lay up with her"
"Did he say when he first met her?" Ariana asked
"Girl he met her the second night he was down here" I say before stuffing my face with fries
"So that's why he didn't come back with us that night?" Alice ask, receiving an head nod from me
They both shook their heads. Everybody was thrown off by their fling. Aliyah pretty much waited til my birthday month to pop up and put the baby on Bibby. I was still confused on why my brother stooped that low, especially when I pointed her out the first time he touch down.
I don't care how much he had to drink, that was just off limits. The girls and I finished up our lunch date, grabbing to go boxes for what we didn't eat. I left a $100 on the table covering the tab, it was my turn after all. I followed Alice out the rotating door, chuckling as Ariana went around two more times.
"I'll see you in the morning" Alice says hugging me
"Yes you will" I smile hugging her back
"And take it easy tonight, no stressing" She calls out to me as she gets into her car
I give her a thumbs up and get into the driver seat of my Range. Ariana was in the passenger seat, finding a song on the aux. This was ready be one hell of a car ride to Herb's.
Bibby:
Trinity and I trailed behind the others as we walked the pier. For a family outing we decided on coming here. I glanced at Trinity who was wrapped in her thoughts. I only knew this cause her hands were tucked in her hoodie and she was watching her steps.
"You okay?" I grabbed her waist, feeling her tense up
My heart sunk, knowing why she tensed up. She quickly stepped out my hold and nodded her head. I let out a sigh of defeat.
"I'm sorry Milan.." I stood in front of her
"Okay" She mumbles being sure not to look at me
"I swear I am.." I sigh "I just let my anger get the best of me last night.. I didn't like how you tried to play me like that"
"You should've came to me" She finally looked at me
"I know, we was planning on telling you" I grabbed her hands
Trinity removed her hands from mine "I don't think I can be with somebody who hides things from me"
"So now you want to leave?" I was confused
"Your brother begged me not to tell you. He claimed he didn't want to see his little sister hurt... I told him to tell you before he invited that girl to the house" I added
"Who are you in a relationship with? Me or him?" She ask
"You, of course" I answered
"Then it should've been fuck what he said... He ain't marrying you, I am!" She murmured
Before I could get another sentence out, she walked away. Great, I thought to myself. After wondering the pier by myself, I caught up with everybody. Trinity was latched on to her dads' arm, admiring the fireworks. OG pulled me to her, hugging me.
I hugged her back, placing a kiss on her forehead.

I watched as the rain picked up, drenching the uncovered portion of the patio. I had been out here since I got up. Trinity and the girls had stepped out for a moment. The kids were with them as well. I put out my blunt and stood to my feet. My high had mellowed me and allowed my thoughts to flow at ease.
I still was in a confused state about if Trinity wanted to proceed with marrying me. She seemed pretty serious about what she said. But I was just trying to protect her feelings. I made my way back into the house, seeing Shawn and George were playing cards. Juan was at the island doing what he was doing.
Ariana :
"She's looking to be high risk, we don't know why just yet" He explains
I give him a head nod and take the bag. How was I going explain this to her?
