Page 75 of What You Do To Me
“Shut the fuck up, Grim,” I snapped and turned my attention back to her. “Coming to treat one of those many STDs?”
She smirked and responded, “Naw, coming to check on me and our nigga’s baby.”
Jawan didn’t give me a chance to react before he picked me up and carried me out of the building. I was cussing the both of them out and beating on his back until he put me on my feet.
“This is the first and last time I’ma tell you to chill the fuck out. You pregnant as fuck out here acting like a bird, for what?”
“If that bitch is carrying yo?—”
“Yo’ Tiomi shut the fuck up. You do this insecure shit every fuckin’ time you get pregnant. Ain’t nobody cheated on you and that fucked up ass uterus of her’s can’t carry nobodies baby, especially not mine, aight?” he ran his hand down his face then looked at the crowd that we had drawn. “The fuck y’all looking at? Get the fuck away from us before I start sending muhfuckas to meet their maker.”
When he saw that nobody was moving, he pulled his gun from his back, fired it in the sky, and started to look around again. “Y’all still think this a game.” They started to scramble totheir cars and up the sidewalk. I laughed and grabbed his arm and pulled his arm towards the car before the police were called. Jawan helped me into the car then he climbed into the driver’s seat. He started the car then turned to look at me.
“Aye, baby, on some real shit though.” He grabbed my hand, “I would never cheat on you, that’s on my unborn kids.”
“I know you wouldn’t baby; I just go so crazy if I even get that thought in my mind.” Leaning across the center console, I sloppily kissed my man. I missed the affection that I was used to him showing me.
“Aye, stay the fuck away from that nigga Noah.”
“Jawan, I thought we were past this. Why do I have to stay away from him? We’re friends.”
“That nigga ain’t your friend,” he cut his eyes at me. “That nigga wanna fuck you. Just stay away from him, okay? Trust me on this.”
“Fine, you know I trust you; I’ll stay away. Can we go see Tot at Shad’s club? I want three of those surf and turf egg rolls, three Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, oouu and maybe the teriyaki chicken rice and broccoli,” I asked and Jawan looked at me like I was crazy. "What? I’m eating for three people now.”
“Naw muhfucka, yo’ fat ass want all that food, don’t blame that shit on my kids,” he laughed, and I laughed with him. My appetite was already grand with just me, but it multiplied when I was pregnant. We rode the rest of the way to Lust in a comfortable silence. I needed to prepare my mind and body for two more kids and come up with a good time to have the discussion of getting a tubal with my husband. Four kids was more than enough for me.
It didn’t take us long to make it to the club, so when we did, I hopped out and went straight to the kitchen to order my food. I knew she would put my order before everybody’s so the wait wouldn’t be long. While I waited, I went to find my bestie. Shehad an appointment today as well, that’s why she wasn’t with me.
“Hey bestie!” I sang when I made it into Shad’s office.
“Hey bestie,” she replied without looking in my direction.
“What has you so focused?”
“Girl I’m checking these damn cameras. Rashad wants me to murder his ass.”
Shaking my head, I asked the question that I’m sure I had the answer to. “What he do now?”
“That Meagan bitch wrote me on Instagram and told me she was pregnant with his baby and you know his tired ass denied it. I’m going to add the dates up my damn self.”
You could tell that Jawan and Rashad were friends, it was always something with them and one of these hoes.
“I’m really done if she is pregnant by him Mimi. I deal with a lot of his shit, but I won’t be forced to look at his illegitimate child every day.” Tears began to fall down her pretty face.
I moved closer to her and pulled her into a hug. “I know friend and I don’t expect you to. Let’s just hope the bitch is lying.”
After Chy got herself together, I filled her in on my doctors visit and she did the same. We were due around the same time, so we could plan our baby shower together this time. I’m just glad not to be doing this alone this time. She would miss out on all the fun and alcohol, just like I would.
Since Jawan asked me not to be in touch with Noah, I had changed my entire schedule at school. I went to school on opposite days and times. Jawan never told me why his feelings about Noah changed all of a sudden, but I knew better thanto ask him about it. We have been getting along good, at least outside of him hassling me about these babies. I was further along than I thought I was, twenty-one weeks, and I was happy about it. The sooner I get these kids out of me, the better.
Dr. Roman imagined the babies coming a lot sooner than my due date and wanted me to rest as much as possible, so I decided that today would be my last physical day here at school. I was going to go fully virtual, so I could follow the doctors and Jawan’s orders.
It seemed like time flew at school today, and I was a little sad that it was my last day because I did appreciate my little break away from my husband and kids. After gathering my things, I regretted making Dirk wait at the car because I definitely didn’t want to carry all of this stuff. I tossed my book bag over my shoulder, grabbed my purse and books and headed out of the classroom. Of course, my face was buried in my phone because Jawan sent a picture of him and the girls as I was walking out so I ran into someone.
“Never paying attention woman,” I heard Noah say as he bent to pick up the things I dropped.
“Noah?” I looked around and noticed we were alone. “What are you doing here?” I asked taking my stuff from his hands. He took a step back and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
