James.

"C'mon lil mama, quit acting all hard. Let me at least take you out."I begged the same fine stripper that I got an eye for.

"Why? You just like these other wannabe niggas out here."She put her hands on her hips. "What makes you any different?"

"Because baby..I'm not a wannabe, I'm who these niggas trying to be."I licked my lips and she rolled her eyes.

"Okay if I go on this little date.."She made a face. "Then will you leave me alone?"

"How about this...If you don't like the date then I'll leave you alone for good. If you do like it then I get to take you out more."I negotiated with her and she nodded.

"Fine..but I'm not that easy to impress."She turned around. "Good luck."

I smirked to myself as I watched her walk away. "Oh it's a bet."I said to myself.

I walked out of the club and hopped in my car, I started my way to Cj's house.

When I got there you could hear Jayda from all the way outside. I walked in and she was screaming and throwing things at him.

"You did this fuck shit again!"She screamed throwing a glass at him and he ducked.

"Look Jayda calm down! I don't know that girl!"He screamed back.

"Shut the fuck up lying! Why is the fucking bitch calling yo' damn phone!"She yelled at him.

"Man you gotta trust me! I don't know that girl!"He yelled back walking over towards her.

"Why should I believe you? You've cheated before. How do I know you not lying?"

"Because baby I'm only inlove with you...and only you."He grabbed her hands.

"No fuck this. Your a fucking liar, don't touch me."She snatched away from him. "You can have all this shit back!"She snapped snatching her engagement ring off and throwing it at him.

"Yo' Jayda what is you doing?"He asked looking at her with a shocked expression. "I know you not about to try and end this shit with me! After all the shit we been through!"He grabbed her arm.

"Let me go....This how you do me? Cheat on me,and I'm fucking pregnant!"She screamed with tears falling down her face.

"Baby...I didn't cheat on you.."He pulled her into him. "It was a prank."He smirked and she looked up at him.

"That wasn't no damn prank!"She yelled hitting him.

"Yes it was baby....That was Kennedy the whole time. I just changed her contact name. He pulled his phone out and went to the contact.

He clicked the contact and called the number. "Ken."He put the phone on speaker.

"Yea? Did she believe it? Did you record it Cj?"Kennedy asked all excitedly on the phone.

"Kennedy that shit wasn't funny! Your brother almost lost his damn fiancé."Jayda mugged.

"I'm sorry Jay, he said he was going to pay me nine-hundred if I did."

"Whatever, fuck y'all."Jayda mumbled walking away.

"Come put this ring back on crazy ass girl!"Cj yelled after her and she flipped him off.

"Y'all are crazy..."I trailed off looking at all the broken glass in the kitchen.

"Jayda and them pregnancy horomones man."He shook his head and walked over to give me dap.

"Tristan back yet?"I asked and he shook his head.

"Them niggas still in Italy."

"Damn. I can't wait to settle down."I smirked to myself.

"Oh I forgot with yo' lil creep ass, you finally asked that girl out?"He asked hopping on top of the counter.

"Yea, She agreed to it."

"When y'all date?"

"Oh shit. I didn't even ask...I don't even have lil mama number.."I shook my head. "I'll be back man."

Jayda.

"Baby you still mad at me?"Cj pouted trying to kiss me.

"Don't touch me. You know I don't play Christopher."I mugged him.

"Damn."He gave me a hurt expression. "You pulled the government out on a nigga. I'm sorry bae."

I just sat there was a frown on my face.

"What I gotta do to make you happy again?"He asked and I shrugged.

"Figure it out."

"What about we go and get your nails and toes done."He suggest and I shrugged.

"Eh."I gave him a bored look.

"Okay what about we go get your nails,toes,hair done. Then we go get something to eat."He suggested and a smirk came across my face.

"Then when we get back, can you rub my feet like you did last night?"I smiled and he chuckled.

"Yes baby, anything for you."He leaned in and pecked my lips. "And put this back on, you lost yo' damn mind taking this ring off girl."He grabbed my hand and placed my ring back on my finger.

"You made me mad."I pouted and he lifted my chin up.

"And I'm sorry mamas. You know I love you and only you."He pecked my lips. "Now c'mon lets get ready to go."He said in between kisses.

I nodded and got up off of the couch. I walked in our room and started getting ready.

After I was done with everything I needed to do, I put on my yellow off the shoulder long bodycon dress that showed my curves and belly off. I matched it with my white forces and I slipped my jean jacket on. I put my wild curly hair into a nice neat bun. I applied lip gloss to my lips and then walked out of the room.

"You ready mamas?"Cj asked from the living room couch.

"Yea...How I look?"

He looked back and smiled at me. "Like my fine ass babymama and fiancé."He got up and walked over towards me. "So perfect."He pecked my lips and I blushed.

"Stop,before you start something Cj."I nudged him away from me.

"Maybe I want to."He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"C'mon hea' I'm not about to play with you boy."I pushed past him and walked towards the door.

He chuckled from behind me and we both walked out of the house. We hopped in his car and drove off.

"Cj I miss my baby.."I pouted.

"Jayda we just dropped him off three hours ago."He chuckled and I shrugged.

"I don't care. I still miss my baby."

"And when we get him back over here, you gone get mad because he gone be trying to get into everything."He stated and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay and? Princess be messing with stuff too."

"And that's why Princess ass is with my mama for the weekend. My mama loves to watch ha' lil bad ass."

"Okay don't do princess like that. She is not bad."I objected.

"Whatever you say Jayda."

We pulled up to Jaden's salon and we both hopped out of the car.

"Hey Kamron."I greeted walking into the shop.

"Hey girl...What brings you by?"He asked.

"I need everything done."I answered him and he nodded.

"Cherish will wash you, and I'll have Adrian do your nails."He told me and I nodded. "Oh hey Mr. Fiancée."He waved at Cj.

"Wassup Kamron."Cj gave him a head nod.

I walked over to the sinks and Cherish was there getting everything ready.

"Hey pretty girl, you getting the regular silk press?"She asked and I nodded. "Your hair is just so pretty and long."She complemented.

"Thank you."I smiled up at her.

After she washed my hair,we went over to her chair. Besides Jaden,Cherish is the only other person that I'll let in my head. I don't trust just anybody to be doing my hair.

"Hey Miss.Jayda bug."Adrian smiled walking over towards me with his tools. "You getting your normal set?"He asked referring to my nails.

"Yes, you know how I like it. Coffin and short."I told him.

"What color sweetie?"

"Hmm.."I sat there and thought about it. "I'll let you pick this time Adrian."

"Oou hunny chile you already know you is about to look cute."He stuck his tongue out making me laugh. "I see your fiancé back there getting his haircut."He told me.

"Oh he is?"I asked. "I didn't know."

"Yes girl he's back there. When is homegirl coming back? We miss her and her clients are piling up left and right."

"Well she hasn't had any good cell service in Italy, but if I'm not mistaken I think she should be back tomorrow."I answered him.

"I also see you showing girl.."Cherish grinned tapping my shoulder lightly with her comb.

"Yea."I smiled to myself.

I was actually about to bring another baby into this world, and I was actually happy to have it by Cj.

I was actually nervous to be pregnant again, since Jahlan came early and almost lost his life. I can't go through that again.

"Okay girl so I have to like spill the damn tea."Adrian threw his head back.

"What happened?"I furrowed a brow.

"So girl, you know Josaline right?"

"Richy ex wife Josaline?"Cherish popped in.

"Yes. Her."He answered her.

"Oh yea, I know her. Everytime I go into Walmart she always give me weird looks and shit."I told him.

"Well how about this guh... So I was snooping while my roomate was on the phone since their friend's...and girl..."He trailed off dramatically.

"What?"We both questioned in unsion.

"So she went to pick her kids up from Richy house, and walked in on him and the new wife having sex in the living room. How about the damn kids were in the kitchen eating."

"Nooo, forreal?"I laughed out. "Oh God no."I covered my mouth.

"How she even get in the house?"Cherish asked.

"Girl, now you know Richy still be fucking Josaline. I guess he never got that extra house key from her.He shrugged.

"Oh my God. That is crazy yo'."I laughed some more.

"Girl that ain't funny."Cherish chuckled. "Okay, wait no because it is."She broke out into a big laugh.

"So what did she do when she saw them?"I asked and he looked up at me.

"Girl she had the damn nerve! To muthafuckin' cry!"

"Cry?"

"Yes bitch! Cried right there in front of him and the new wife."He shook his head. "I heard that the new wife, laughed right in front of her crying."

"That's so disrespectful. She would've gotten her ass whooped if it was me."Cherish stated and I agreed.

"Josaline snatched them damn kids up so fast,and marched her emotional dumbass out his house."Adrian continued.

"Oh lawdd!"Adrian exclaimed loudly. "Speak of the damn devil and he shall appear."He eyed the front of the shop and Josaline was walking in with her three kids.

Josaline was a cute girl, and she ended up marrying Richy this big pimp that everybody knows around the way. I just know him because he did business with Cj at one point in time.

They ended up having two girls,and just recently a boy. They ended up divorcing after Josaline caught him cheating for like the tenth time.

"...But wasn't Richy whoopin' her ass at one point?"Cherish asked and Adrian nodded his head.

"Yes girl. They would get into an argument and if Josaline said something Richy didn't like, he would knock the shit outta her. I'm saying whoopin' her ass for breakfast, lunch, and dinner baby."He shook his head polishing my nails.

"That is ridiculous. At least she doesn't have to go through that anymore."I said looking over at her sitting in the waiting area.

"Well you know she only really stayed for so long was because of the money, because before Richy came in the picture she was just another girl from the hood."Cherish told us. "Richy basically made her,before they were together that girl was a damn twig. I don't know if it was the dick or surgery but she gotten wayy thicker than she was."Cherish pointed out and we all looked over at her.

"She damn near thicker than Jayda."Adrian stated and I agreed.

"She really is, but mine is genetically like this boo. No dick or surgery did this for me."I joked and they both laughed.

"Girl I'm not about to play with you."Adrian laughed adding a second coat to my nails.

"Hey baby, I'm going to go wait outside in the car."Cj came up to where I was seated.

"Okay, I shouldn't be much longer."He nodded and walked outside.

"Do you know how lucky you are?"Cherish asked and I smiled.

"Yea I know. Even though he can be a pain."

"Well you got you a good man Jayda. Better embrace it,because these little chicken headed hoes will try you."

"....And they can get beat the fuck up."I rolled my neck. "I know my man fine, and I'm the only girl who's guts he be beating up everynight."I stated.

"Period."Adrian grinned doing a hand signal.

"Okay pretty, your all done."Cherish told me.

I got up out of the seat and looked at myself in the mirror. "Oou Cherish, you did good girl, here take this as an extra tip."I reached in my purse and pulled out two crisp hundred dollar bill.

"You sure Jayda?"She asked in shock.

"Yes girl."I chuckled. "And I got some for you too Adrian."I smiled at him. I gave him the same amount I gave Cherish.

"You so sweet Jayda, I cannot wait until the wedding."Adrian hugged me "...And the baby."He rubbed my belly.

"Thank you, bye y'all."I smiled walking away. "Hey Josaline."I looked over at her and she gave me a small smile.

"Hey."

"Bye Kamron."I waved to him and he waved back.

I walked outside and some girl was by Cj's car smiling all up in his face.

"Um excuse you."I put my hand on my hips.

Cj looked over at me with a look that said Please get her away from me.

"Your excused."She scrunched her face at me.

"Bitch, I know you not over here talking to my fiancé."I stepped to her and she looked back at Cj.

"You really weren't lying."She gaped her mouth open.

"Told you."Cj smirked over at me. "Please tell my fiancé what you was going to do to her."He looked at the girl.

"N-N-Nothing."She stuttered. "I'm sorry."She mumbled and walked off.

I walked over and got in the car. "Chicken head hoes."I mumbled putting my seat belt on.

"I tried to tell her."Cj shrugged pulling out of the parking lot.

"Mhm"I hummed "Where we about to eat at?"I looked over at him.

"What you want?"He asked putting his hand on my belly.

Ever since I told him I was pregnant, he's been rubbing and feeling on my stomach ever since. He would touch it even when I wasn't showing.

"Hmm...Wendy's."I answered him and he nodded.

When we pulled up into the parking lot. He pulled around to the drive thru.

"Hi, Welcome to Wend-"

"Foefoefoe."Cj cut the girl off. "Make it two of those."He told her.

"$8.46 Sir."She answered in a dry tone.

"Why you do her like that?"I laughed at him.

"Man she already knew what I was about to say anyways."He shrugged. "They hear the shit every damn day anyways."

"....But still you ain't have to cut that girl off."I shook my head.

"I did it though."He mumbled and I mushed his head.

He paid and got the food and then we went home.

"There she go."I nudged Kori.

"Oh, that's the girl you like so much?"He looked over at me and I nodded.

"The broad is mad fine B."I smirked looking at her laughing with her other friends.

"She ight lookin'."Kori shrugged. "Just shoot ya shot."

"I will eventually, just waiting on a good time to do it."I told him honestly.

"Go for it..."
