Free The Naked Truth About Love by Brenda Stokes Lee

up?”
    “ Damn you could have a little compassion for me.” EJ nervously giggled.
    “ Fuck compassion… Come with it! I have to hear this bullshit! Who is he?”
    “ Prissy, promise that you won’t be mad…”
    “ EJ… I swear to God you’d better tell me right now and it had better not be Bear or I’m beating both of y’all asses!”
    “ Paul..” EJ sighed.
    Miss Priss looked confused. “I don’t understand. What about Paul?”
    “ I’m pregnant by Paul.” EJ confessed in a soft voice.
    “ Paul who?” Miss Priss asked confused.
    “ Prissy, come on… Paul Crown… Your brother.”
    Miss Priss was floored. In fact she looked like she had just been kicked to the floor by a bucking mule. Speechless she tried to process what EJ had just told her. Suddenly it became painfully clear. Her best friend had been sleeping with her twin brother behind her back and is now pregnant by him.
    “ Oh my God!” She exclaimed.
    “ Prissy please don’t be mad at me. You know how much I love him and you know that I’d do anything to be with him. We just needed sometime to figure out how to tell you. I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t want to ruin our relationship. Prissy I’m so in love with that man. ” EJ babbled.
    “ I’m going to be an aunt! EJ… and you’re… You’re going to be my sister in-law!” The elated Miss Priss screamed as she grabbed EJ and held her tight enough to choke the wind out of her.
    “ Prissy, calm down. There’s a reason that I was crying. I still have a really big problem.”
    “ What? What’s the problem? Does Paul know? Well, of course he doesn’t know. I’ll tell him… Do you want to tell him or do you need me to tell him… Because I’ll tell him if you want me to.”
    “ Paul is not going to be as happy about this as you are. Priss I promised him that he could trust me. I begged him to make love to me without protection and I promised him that I wouldn’t get pregnant. He’s going to think that I planned this whole thing. Prissy he goings to hate me if he finds out.”
    “ What? What do you mean if he finds out? You mean when he finds out, right?” Miss Priss asked as she began to unravel when she realized what EJ was considering. “Oh no EJ! You can’t… Oh my God please don’t!”
    “ Prissy, I have loved your brother since I was ten years old. Finally after all these years he decided to reciprocate those feelings. I can’t… I just can’t lose him. I’m sorry but… I can’t, I just can’t so please don’t even ask me to. It was a mistake… plain and simple.”
    “ It! It is not an it! It is my niece or nephew and I love you to death EJ, but I swear to God that I will not stand by and let you abort my brother’s baby in silence. No! I swear to God I’m telling Paul.” Miss Priss threatened.
    “ Priss no! Please don’t! I can’t lose him… I just can’t. So please don’t tell him. Please?”
    “ EJ I am not, I repeat not going to let you abort my flesh and blood. I would never be able to look at my brother again if I let you do that. So don’t even ask. You have three days to tell Paul and then I’ll tell him for you.”
    “ Prissy, it’s not yours to tell. So just stay out of it until I figure out what I’m going to do.”
    “ Do you want to know what you’re going to do? Okay I’ll tell you what you’re going to do… You’re going to have a baby… that’s what you are going to do. And somehow if you manage to never let Paul find out that you even considered having an abortion you’re going to one day marry my brother. Provided you cease all that Tom Foolery and Fuckery! Why would you even think that Paul wouldn’t be there for you and your child?”
    “ Priss that’s not what I said. You know our history. It was major for him to risk crossing the line to sleep with me. I didn’t even have to seduce him.”
    “ Wait a second when did this happen?”
    “ The night the four us went out. Paul brought me home and stayed
