“Hey Sorimah,” I said startling her.

She hung up on whoever and put on that fake ass smile people put on when they were trying to fool someone. I couldn’t believe I trusted her around my nigga. There was no telling what they were doing under this muthafucka when I was away.

“H-hey Aviana. I didn’t hear you come in.” I know. “How was your day?”

“It was good. How is my family?” I asked with sarcasm dripping from my tongue.

“They’re great. Akeera should be back to school on Monday since she’s up and moving around and Hendrix is in the shower. He got home not too long ago.”

“Cool. Is Akeera well enough to join us for dinner?”

“Of course. Her appetite is back so she should be fine.”

Nodding, I walked inside my bedroom boiling. It was clear that nigga didn’t have a type because although Sorimah was a cute girl, she had more stomach than a little and more potholes in her skin than the roads in Atlanta. I’ve never seen Hendrix deal with a bitch so big. All of his ex’s were either slim or thick. This was new.

Throwing the bottle of alcohol and my purse onto the bed, I walked into the bedroom getting ready to go off but stopped myself. She said they only happened once but something in my soul told me that was a lie. I knew the perfect way to test that theory. He told me about him cheating a while back and finding out it was with Sorimah, I had to make sure they weren’t still at it.

I undressed and slipped inside wrapping my arms around his waist. Small kisses were applied to his back and he low key shrugged me off. I tried a different approach which I knew would get a reaction out of him.

Stepping in front of him, I dropped down to my knees and inserted his dick in my mouth. He never could resist my head. It was what made him cuff me in the first place. I was skilled and knew how to deep throat his shaft without gagging. However, he stopped me before I could even get started.

“I’m not in the mood Avi.”

“Not in the mood huh? Yeah, aight.”

I stood and washed my body and let him be. I didn’t have solid proof but that told me everything I needed to know. My next step was seeing if the bitch was really pregnant or not.

Chapter Ten

SORIMAH

“Don’t aggravate me y’all. I haven’t had a period in months but that doesn’t mean anything. I’ve been stressed about this party for one and two, I’m in the same house as that man. That’s enough to deal with by itself.”

“Nah sis’. You never missed a cycle. Take this damn test and then get prepared to head to the hospital to get it in writing. I’m not playing about my kin.”

“I’m excited. I thought it would be EJ first, but I was wrong,” Daria joined in.

“Now why the hell would you think that? I love kids. I just don’t want any of my own,” she replied.

“This conversation shouldn’t even be happening because I’m not pregnant and don’t plan on being any time soon. I just got a lot of shit on my plate right now. Give it here so I can prove y’all heffas wrong.”

I snatched the box from Daria and headed for the bathroom. I was genuinely nervous because Hendrix kept his word when he said he was going to sex me whenever he caught me alone. We fucked all up and through that house. I couldn’t seem to stay off him.

So many times, he would leave for work and double back just because he knew we were in the clear to go at it without interruptions. I was lying to my girls because Hendrix and I both knew better. It wasn’t something I was proud about because Aviana was still attached to his hip.

He voiced several times how he didn’t trust Aviana and what she was out there doing but I kept my mouth closed because it wasn’t my place to tell him that his woman was in fact playing him like a fiddle.

If I was pregnant, I knew the first thing I would do was quit. I couldn’t be around him knowing I was carrying his child because he was already invested in one family. He didn’t need another. This was the reason I set up boundaries. Consequences from sneaking around were always major.

I sat down and filled the cup full of urine, dipped the test inside and then waited. This was going to be the only privacy I received from this moment on if that test came back positive.

EJ would be in my face twenty-four seven but that damn Daria was going to want to follow me around like a shadow. She loved pregnant women and the first six months of the infant’s life. She was addicted to the smell of them.

I cleaned up and waited patiently. The way me and Hendrix were going at it, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was. He entered me whenever he got ready, and he never protected us. I loved the feel of his veiny flesh but now I realized that wasn’t the best choice.

Glancing over, I saw one word instead of two and knew the answer automatically. I released a deep breath and took it to the girls. Once I handed it off, I headed to my room for my keys.

“Oh my God! Best friend you’re pregnant!” she screeched running down the hall.
