“I don’t know, I didn’t look,” I cried.
“Imani, what you mean you didn’t look. Go check it,” Breesha said as she turned the TV off.
I had just finished taking a pregnancy test. My period was supposed to come on three weeks ago, but it had yet to make its grand entrance. I knew deep down that I was pregnant, which is why I didn’t want to go look at the test. Every time I was around Rashard, he kept me on my toes. We stopped using protection a long time ago. Sometimes he would pull out, but most of the times he didn’t. I knew that my parents would be real disappointed in me if I were pregnant, especially my mom, because she had set high expectations for me, and me having a baby right now wasn’t in her list of plans. I hadn’t even brought Rashad over to meet my parents yet in the first place. I was still in school and everything, so I didn’t see what the big deal would be. Next semester, I was supposed to be graduating with my AA degree, and then in another two years, I would have my bachelors. This was all Rashard’s fuckin fault. I kept telling his selfish ass to put on a fuckin condom, but he would never listen to me.
“Mani go check the test or I will,” Breesha told me.
I stayed my ass glued to the fuckin couch. I was not about to move. Breesha sucked her teeth as she made her way inside of the bathroom to check the test for me. She came back a minute later and threw it on my lap.
“You pregnant girl, and I’m pretty sure you already knew that,” she said, sitting next to me on the couch.
I looked down at the two lines on the test and sure enough, I was pregnant. I put my head down and silently cried.
“Ain’t no use in crying now, Mani. It’s already done, you need to accept that,” Breesha preached.
“I know but damn, my mom is going to fuckin trip,” I cried.
“Imani, girl you is fuckin grown. You don’t live with her! So what could she possibly do? She may be upset about it, but that’s it,” Breesha told me.
I just continued to wipe away at the tears that kept falling. I was angry at myself, because I should have gotten on some type of pill or made Rashard strap up.
“So you going to tell Shard or wait?” Breesha asked me.
“I’m going to tell him. I feel like he did the shit on purpose too. And he kept making lil comments the other day talking about my ass is getting fat and when we have a daughter she was going to look just like me,” I said.
Breesha found that to be so amusing. I shook my head and went inside my bathroom to run some water on my face. I grabbed my purse from off the dresser and told Breesha that I would be back.
Imani
Twenty minutes later, I was pulling up to Rashards house. I noticed all three of his cars in the driveway along with another black Camaro. He better hope it wasn’t a bitch, b
ecause the way my hormones were set up right now, I could probably kill a bitch. I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Two minutes later, his cousin Mark came to the door with his ugly ass. The way his eyes traveled down my breasts to the tight white maxi dress I had on made me sick to my fuckin stomach. I sucked my teeth and walked past him. I heard him mumble something under his breath as I made my way in the house to find my man. He was in the den with the controller in his hand; I’m guessing him and Mark were playing the game before I came over.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” I asked, standing in the room before getting directly in front of him.
He put his hands on my ass and pulled me closer to him.
“Damn, a nigga can’t get no hi or nothing? And why this the first time I’m hearing from your ass today?” he asked me.
I sucked my teeth as I watched his cousin walk back in the room. It’s like damn, could I have some privacy with my man?
“Baby come upstairs with me, I need to talk to you,” I said, ignoring the question that he had just asked me. He threw the controller down on the couch and stood up.
“Nigga I’ll be back, let me see what’s up with my lady. And don’t start the game back up either with your cheating ass,” I heard my man tell Mark.
He came up behind me and picked me up, and carried me up the stairs. I smiled as he did that. When we got inside the room, he placed me back on my feet.
“What’s up? What you had to talk to me about?” he said, closing the door after him. I looked at him for a few seconds before I began.
“My period was supposed to come on three weeks ago and it still hasn’t come. I took a test today and I found out that I’m pregnant,” I said, getting straight to the point.
A smile crept up on Rashard’s face, and that only confirmed that he did the shit on purpose. He pulled me into him and I tugged away.
“You did this shit on purpose, didn’t you?” I asked.
“Did what?” he asked, playing dumb.
“Rashard, you know what I’m talking about. I damn near begged you to put on a condom each time, but you never do. And then you’ll say you’ll pull out, but you don’t do that shit either,” I fussed.
