reluctant hand. “I know this shit can’t be easy for you and I just want you to know that I’m here for you.”
Keya didn’t reply to her sister ’s statement. Instead she turned her head away from us, as her body began to shake with silent tears. Daisy and I both converged on her as we cried our own tears too.
“We’ll help you get through this,” I promised her. “You have your family so you’re not alone. We’ll be by your side in whatever you need.”
It was the only thing we could do, besides praying.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
DELCO
I pounded on the door like I was trying to break it down. I didn’t understand why that bitch couldn’t just leave me alone and stop trying to mess up my damn life. It was like every time I turned around she was there trying to cause me trouble. But this time she had gone too damn far and I was going to teach her a lesson.
“Why the fuck are you…”
I didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. As soon as she’d opened the door I grabbed her by the neck, pushed her into the house and then kicked the door closed with my foot.
I pushed her up against the wall and gritted in her face, “Are you happy now bitch?”
Although I wasn’t squeezing her throat , the smirk on her lips made me want to strangle the life out of her conniving body.
“Did your precious Daisy leave you?” She chuckled. “Now you know how I feel.”
“Is that what you’re try ing to do bitch!?” I released her neck then grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her like a ragged doll. “Is that what you’re trying to do? Get my woman to leave me so that I’m miserable like you.”
She laughed even harder when face d with my anger and I had to release her before I forgot that she claimed that she was pregnant. With the way I was feeling at the moment I was liable to punch her ass out.
She got into my space and placed her hand on my chest. “Now that she’s out of the pic ture you should come back home,” she purred and now I was the one laughing.
“You think I’d ever return to your crazy ass. I think you’ve got more than a few screws loose. Do you think you can break up my family w ith your bullshit? Daisy may be mad at me at the moment but she’ll get over it soon.”
“You think they’re the only ones who’ re your family,” she raged at me. “My baby and I are your family too.”
“Your baby and you? Bitch, who is to say that you’re really pregnant? And even if you are, who knows if it’s mine.” I’d been thinking about that a lot lately. Didn’t even know why I hadn’t thought about it before. I knew just how conniving Maria could be. And it was obvious that she was trying to tear Daisy and I apart. So what better way to do it than to create a fictitious pregnancy to cause controversy in my relationship?
I reached into my back pocket and retrieved the home pregnancy test that I’d bought at the pharmacy before I got to her house and then I threw it at her.
Her reflexes weren’t quick enough for her to catch it so it fell to the floor bu t she bent down and picked it up. “What the fuck is this for?”
“Go piss on that shit.”
She screwed up her face at me. “What the fuck are you trying to say? That I’m lying that I’m pregnant?”
“Stop asking the obvious and go ta ke the fucking test. Even if I have to drag you into that bathroom you’re going to take it today.”
“You’d be happy if I wasn’t hav ing a baby by you, wouldn’t you? It would make everything prefect for you and that bitch. Then you two could go off and live your perfect life.” The anger in her voice started waning and was replaced by sadness as her eyes watered. “You’re such an ungrateful bastard. After everything I did for you this is how you repay me.”
Although I felt bad that she was hurting , I was really getting tired of hearing about the bid that she’d done for me. Every time
