“
It’s not what you’re thinking ma,” I assured her as I sat beside her.

“
And what am I thinking?” she scowled.

“
That I was out with another bitch, but you’re wrong.” I was telling the truth for once.

“
Am I supposed to believe you have to work until seven in the morning?” she asked sarcastically.

“
Yes, because it’s the truth,” I replied honestly. “You think I would ever stay out all night cheating on you. I would never disrespect you like that Sexy.” A quick fuck was about all I did with other bitches. I would never be lying up with a bitch with my woman alone at home. I pulled her into my arms; she resisted for a sec but then melted against me. “Your nigga not lying to you,” I reassured her. “You believe me; Right?”

She nodded yes.
“Would you like me to fix you some breakfast?”

“
How about I make you some breakfast in bed,” I offered. “What would you and my shorty like to have?” I wasn’t hungry because my boys and I had stopped at an all-night diner and ate.

“
Thanks bay,” she smiled. “Fried eggs, cheese and tomatoes on a bagel, with a glass of milk please.”

“
Coming right up,” I kissed her on the nose.

I went to the kitchen and threw two pieces of bagel in the toaster. I grabbed a firing pan from the rack above the counter, butter from the fridge and started her egg. I made slices of tomatoes and sharp cheddar and then used the entire ensemble to create her sandwich. I pl
aced it on a tray with her glass of milk and in less than ten minutes presented my woman with breakfast in bed.

“
This is good bay,” she complimented after taking a bite.

“
You know I got mad skills,” I boasted.

“
You sure do.” She chuckled.

After she was done eating, I crawled in bed and hugged up on her. I ran my hand over her flat stomach imagining my little shorty g
rowing inside her. I knew exactly what I was doing the first time I got the pussy and decided it was too damn good to share. The first two times I came inside her was a heat of the moment type thing. She felt so warm and wet I just didn’t want to pull out. But every time after that was a calculated move on my part. One sure fire way to make sure you have a shorty right where you want her his to fill her belly with your seed.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

ANGEL

I was
lying on the couch with my feet propped in my bay’s lap watching ‘The Game’ on BET. He was giving me a foot rub that felt damn good and was much needed. I was four months pregnant, with a baby boy, and constantly had one body part or another feeling achy. We had just gotten back from dinner at a Jamaican restaurant and were now relaxing at home.

“
I deserve some pussy after killing my fingers on these,” he said, motioning to my feet. “Or at the very least a blow job because these things are not pretty.”

I threw a decorative pillow from the sofa at him and he ducked out of the way.

“A’ight a’ight,” he chuckled. “These are some pretty feet.” He lifted my right foot and gave it a quick kiss. “And I love them.”

Placated I smiled.
“For that comment you get both pussy and the blowjob.”

“
That’s what I’m talking about.”

My phone vibrated from the coffee table and I leaned over and picked it up. It was a text message from Keya asking about homework. We were both doing our senior year and couldn
’t wait for it to be over. As I scrolled through my texts, I saw there was an unanswered message from Von that was sent earlier. I read it quickly and immediately deleted it. It read:
My birthday is in a week, hope you
didn’t forget
.
What are you getting for a nigga?
He would text me occasionally and I would send a quick reply, but I wasn’t trying to encourage him because I knew Tyga would flip if he knew we were in any contact whatsoever.

“
Who was that?” he questioned.

“
Keya, she’s asking about homework.” I placed my phone back on the table.

“
If she spent as much time paying attention in school as she does in running the streets she wouldn’t need to text you for information.”

“
I don’t understand why you don’t like her,” I complained for the millionth time. “If you took the time to get to know her I’m sure you’d see that she’s a cool chick.”

He laughed.
“I’m sure she would just love that.”

“
What’s that supposed to mean?” I gave him a questioning look.

“
Look Sexy, she’s your cousin and best friend, I don’t want to be the one to come between you two, but you keep pushing the issue over and over again so I’m gonna be honest with you; Every time I see that bitch she’s coming on to me.”

I was stunned.
“What has she said to you that make you think she’s coming on to you?”

“
I don’t think she’s coming on to me, I know she is.” He informed me. “She’s always looking at a nigga a certain way that lets him know she wants to fuck him. You remember that time when she thought you how to do a blowjob?” I nodded. “She let me know that if I wanted to learn what other tricks she knew I would have to come to her.”

“
You’re sure she wasn’t joking?”

“
Ma, I know when a bitch wants to get some of me.”

I was dumbfounded. I just couldn
’t see my own cousin and best friend trying to fuck the man that she knew without any doubt I loved; the father of my child. I knew Keya sometimes did things without thinking about the feelings of others, but she’d never hurt me before nor done anything shitty to me. And this would be super shitty. It would be a shit storm of epic proportions. It’s not that I didn’t believe my man, because he had no reason to lie to me, I just felt that he was probably misinterpreting things. I’d known this chick all my life; I owed her the benefit of doubt.

“
I’ll talk to her about it.”

“
It’s time for me to get laid,” Tyga announced, turning the T.V off as soon as the show ended. He got up and then placed one arm behind my back and the other under my knees and lifted me into his arms. I squealed.

“
Damn, nigga you better not drop me.”

“
Stop fidgeting. You know you’re as big as a house now, I might drop you,” he teased. I punched him in the arm, which only made him laugh. He walked us over to the light switch in the kitchen, I turned it off and then we made our way down the hall and into our bedroom. I got first dibs on the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed and moisturized my face. By the time he came out from his turn, I was naked and under the covers. He crawled in beside me, took me in his arms, sighed and started rubbing my belly.

“
What does that sigh mean?”

“
It means I’m content,” he confessed. “You and little shorty make me happy. I never thought I’d have this.”

“
I’m happy too.” I lifted my head and kissed him on the lips. It was one of those nights that we made love to each other slowly, like we had all the time in the world.  With kisses that were lingering, touches that were prolonged and thrusts that were gentle and unhurried. When it felt like a slow-burn instead of a raging fire, but in the ended a powerful explosion none the less.

We
went baby shopping the following day. We wanted to get furniture to decorate the nursery. We went to a store in NJ that sold top of the line baby furniture. There were so many items to make decisions on, from cribs, changing tables, rocking chairs, armoires, basinets and so much more. I was amazed how much stuff was needed to decorate a room for a person who was going to be no bigger than ten pounds at most. It was an overwhelming experience but I enjoyed every moment of it.

While we were
driving home Mina called. I hadn’t seen a lot of her lately. Every time I went by her place Boss was there and then we would get into a fight therefore I was more than a bit surprised when she told me the reason she was calling was because she was looking for him. She said he didn’t go home last night and wasn’t answering his phone. She begged me to ask Tyga if he knew where Boss was. I told her I’d see what I could find out and call her back.

“
What was that about?” Tyga inquired when I hung up.

“
Mina wanted to know if you knew where Boss was.”

He sighed
as he changed traffic lanes so he could exit off the main road and onto our block. “I knew ya’ll would get me involved eventually.”

“
You don’t have to say if you don’t want to.” I shrugged. “I knew this would happen eventually and warned her but she wouldn’t listen, so we aren’t obligated to keep tabs on him for her.” I knew Tyga and Boss had had problems in the past and were now living under a very tentative truce. As much as I despised Boss he was my man’s twin and I didn’t want to be the one to start up their rivalry again.

“
Your mother knows he’s having another baby right?”

I nodded yes.

“The shorty gave birth to his son yesterday.”

My mouth made an
‘O’ of surprise. I knew Mina wouldn’t take the news well. She had hoped to give him his first son until she discovered the baby she was carrying was a girl. Learning her competition had done what she couldn’t do would piss her off to no end.

“
Damn,” I groaned. “I’m the one who’s going to have to deliver this news to her. Couldn’t he have at least called or texted her?”

“
You do know you can stay out of it and let her find out from him when he calls eventually?” Tyga advised, as he pulled the car into our garage.

“
She would be so mad if she learnt I knew and didn’t tell her,” I explained as we got out the car and took the elevator up to the loft.

“
What difference does it make who told her,” he puzzled. “It won’t change the news.”

“
It’s about loyalty. If I was in her position I’d want her to tell me and not wait for someone else to do it, so I have to do the same. Plus I thought that chick was nine months pregnant a couple months ago, how is she just having the baby now?”

“
How the hell would I know? I’m not keeping tabs on anyone’s business,” he shrugged. His phone rang and he answered it and walked into the living area.

I placed my Gucci tote on the kitchen counter and sat on a stool. I called Mina and she answered on the first ring.

“What did he say?” she said by way of greeting. She sounded as though she had been sitting by the phone. I detailed my findings to her. “He couldn’t have called and let me know? I guess he’s too busy with his new family. I was waiting here thinking something happened to him, wondering if I should be calling hospitals or something.” She sounded both tired and angry.

“
You shouldn’t stress too much Mina,” I warned. “You know your blood pressure is mad high and that’s why you’re on bed rest at the moment.” She wasn’t having the best experience with her pregnancy. She had really high blood pressure, so she had to be on bed rest and had to watch her diet. It made me feel thankful that my pregnancy was basically effortless. I never experienced morning sickness, my son was healthy and I had no complications. The most I could complain about was a few aches in my body.

“
I’m not stressing,” she promised. “I just feel emotionally overwhelmed. I can’t wait to have this baby. I’m tired of looking at these same four walls all damn the time.”

“
Do you want me to come over tomorrow? We can spend the day catching up and I’ll cook you something healthy. It can be a girl’s day in.”

“
Thanks honey.” I could tell she appreciated it.

After I hung up with her Tyga
had some news of his own to tell me. “I have to go to Miami on business next month for about three days. I’m not sure but I’ll probably still be there on Christmas.”

“
Are you fucking kidding me?” I exclaimed. “It’s going to be our first Christmas together.”

“
I know, and I would have changed it if I could, but I’ve been trying to make this connect for the longest while. The dude I’m trying to do business with is coming from Columbia to be with his family for the holiday.”

“
So business is more important than me?” I snapped. I was really hurt.

“
No,” he denied patiently. “That’s why I’m taking you with me.”

He was smiling at me. I punched him in the arm for pulling my leg
by making me believe we were going to spend the holidays apart. He grabbed my hand and kissed my fingers, before sucking my index finger in his mouth.
