“She’s going to be so excited,” I tell him as he drives. I know he’s having to restrain himself from speeding all the way there. “Probably want to throw a whole party and everything.”

Carter smiles but doesn’t respond, emotions all over his face. Even though I’m close to her as well, I can’t imagine what this means for him so I just smile and wait.

When we finally arrive, Carter throws open the car door and sprints to his mother’s house. I can’t help but laugh as I follow and close the door behind me when his mom asks what’s got him all riled up.

“We have news, amazing news.” Carter looks back at me and holds out his hand which I take. “Tell her, Jada.”

“I’m pregnant,” I say. Honey’s gasp makes me smile even wider. “We’re going to have a baby.”

She steps forward and takes my face in her hands. They’re oh so gentle as she holds me.

“I’m so excited for you, my dear,” she whispers. “So, so excited.”

We share grins and Carter pulls us both towards him for a group hug. I feel his lips at the crown of my head, and I can’t help but smile and wonder how much better this can get if it’s already perfect.

THE END.

JENNIFER

The light chirping of the birds stirs me from my sleep, and I open an eye to the muted light washing into the room through the curtains. I snuggle comfortably into the pillow on my side, throwing the warm comforter over my bare shoulders as I allow sleep to take over once again.

Not for long, however, as I feel a soft pair of lips press against the back of my neck.

“What thefuck?”

I push myself up, confused and hungover, a wave of dizziness washing over me at the abrupt action.

“Good morning to you, too, beautiful,” the man beside me greets, sitting up with a lazy smile on his face. “I trust last night’s activity left you satisfied?”

“God, what even happened? And why am I in bed with you?” I dumbly ask, rubbing my temples with my fingers as I try to remember what happened. Yet I only see flashes of light, music, and people, which really doesn’t help with my situation.

“Let’s just say you invited me for a good time, sweetie,” he comments. “And Ididhave a good time if you’re curious.”

Oh God, not another cocky nobody.

“Save the effort of wooing me, it won’t work.” I leave the bed and make my way to my vanity to grab my bathrobe from the chair. “Now, please leave. I have to work at eleven.”

“Good company in bed and a hustler? I think I hit the jackpot,” he says as he pulls his boxers up.

“Believe me, you’re not getting anything from me after this.” I wait as he fixes himself up, focusing on my phone as I go through messages and emails. When he’s fully clothed, I lead him out of the apartment.

“Call me if you want to have another good time.” He leans in for a final kiss, and I turn my head away, scowling at him.

“Go,” I say, jerking my head to the door.

Dismayed, he leaves, muttering a string of curses on his way out.

I slam the door shut and make a beeline for the bathroom to take a shower. I strip out of my bathrobe and hop in, the warm water calming my nerves despite my growing headache.

Once I’m done, I towel myself dry on my way out of the bathroom. I walk into my closet and dress in my favorite black pencil skirt and blazer that goes well with a simple white top. I take out my black Louboutin heels and then head towards my vanity to do my makeup.

I hastily fix my hair, thankful for my recent pixie cut, before putting on my favorite pair of emerald huggie earrings.
