Page 128 of Her Loyalty

"Let me know how it goes." She went on, before leaving out of my room completely.

Sitting there, I began to pick my brain for how I was going to actually explain to him that I was pregnant. I knew it all started with simply calling but I was nervous to. He rarely answered my calls these days and I wasn't in the mood to be hurt. Especially with these obvious new hormones.

Sighing deeply, I reached over toward the top of my bed and grabbed my phone. I unlocked it and began to scroll to Dominic's contact before my phone buzzed with a message from him.

Excitedly, I opened the message, just happy that I was even on his mind these days. But my happiness was quickly snatched away from me once I read what the message said.

"We should talk, T."

Dominic

"Nigga get the fuck off my car!" I watched as Dej snapped at Zay, making him hop off the hood of her car.

"Now, look at my ruff. Look at my ruff." She went on, making everybody laugh as I shoved my phone back into my pocket.

"Yo, Dom. Come get your homie before I end his life." She said to me as I took a pull from my blunt.

"Y'all niggas crazy." I shook my head, blowing smoke from my nose.

I watched as them niggas continued to bullshit all up and down the block before my phone buzzed in my pocket.

"About what?"T responded and I sighed deeply, tryna get my words together.

I really didn't want to break her heart but shit just wasn't feeling right no more. Life without her was becoming more peaceful for me. I was tired of apologizing for shit, I was tired of arguing, I was tired of being half loved and I damn sure was tired of her moms being the third person in our relationship.

None of this shit was sitting right with me no more.

"Yo, lover boy. Put your phone down and come fuck with us." Dej interrupted as she got in her car and Zay and Leek got in the backseat.

"Where y'all bout' to go'?" I asked, slowly standing to my feet.

"Unc block, nigga." She said before she quickly pulled off, speeding down the block.

Disregarding the text message, I slid my phone back into my pocket and made my way down the staircase.

"Shit." I stressed, putting my blunt out and grabbing my keys.

It didn't take me no time to get there and once I did, the block was packed.

"Aye, nigga!" Dej called out for me as I parked, slowly getting out of the car.

"Oh shit. What's up, Dom?" One of the homies spoke as I walked up, dabbing him up.

"Ain't shit. What's up with you?"

"Man, I been chillin'. Aint seen you in a minute." He went on.

We chilled and talked outside for a long time and I couldn't lie, this was the most peace I'd had in a minute. Just spending time with the homies and doing my own thing.

"Aye, look." Leek spoke up, making everybody look.

"Aw shit.." Everybody laughed as a group of bitches came walking down the block and I already knew exactly who it was.

"There go your girl." Dej spoke up, hitting my arm, making me smack my lips.

"Yeah, aight." I scoffed, shaking my head.
