Consistency

Chapter 17: Moving Day

J.R:

"I think i'm gonna end up like you soon man, this girl has my heart beating double time." Marquelle joked as he put the last box from my apartment on the U-haul. 

"Look at you man, look at us. Ladies in our lives. Who would've told us 1 year ago we would be here" I laughed as we sat on the steps of my apartment.

It had been a real wild year with Melanie, from breaking up to making up, finding out about Leah, me saving her life, and everything with her family and mine. I would've changed anything. I honestly can say that this whole drama made us closer than we were the first 6 months. I felt more emotional connected to her, and I was in love for sure.

Our love was strong, and I was definitely ready to take it to the next level with her. Marriage? Kids? I wasn't exactly sure yet, but she was mine and I was hers and that made me the happiest I had been in a while.

"You right bro, we were the real 2 live crew" Marquelle laughed as he picked up his phone to answer a text "Speaking of the Mrs."

"Oh Mrs? it's like that bro?" I looked at him waiting for his reply.

"Naw bro, but its a strong thought." He looked up at me slowly from his phone.

"Just make sure she's the right one bro, I don't want you jumping into a tiger's pit. Make sure you know her as well as you think you do."

"She's amazing bro, I know she loves me, and she be throwing that ass back just right" Marquelle said as he stuck his tongue out. 

"Aye man get cha nasty ass outta here!" I pushed him as we stood up a bit walking over to the drivers side of the U-haul. "Thanks for helping me get everything out of my apartment man. I appreciate the help." I gave him a bro hug before climbing up into the u-haul and into the drivers seat."

"Bro let me know if you need help unpacking and getting straight, I'll come by" I gave Marquelle a head nod before closing the door and starting the truck.

Melanie:

I sighed I placed all the cups into the cupboard. I walked around the counter and looked outside on the patio. This was really happening, this was our home to share with each other and our little family. 

Touching my belly as i looked out the glass door, I heard the door open. It was J.R

"All finished babe, the rest of the stuff is here" He said as he closed the door behind him. He walked into the kitchen and over to me. Turning from the patio door I gave him a kiss on the lips as he wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"I'm so happy that we are finally in our own place together." I smiled as he let me go.

He picked me up and walked me to our new bedroom and place me on my bed. He continued to kiss me on the neck as I giggled a bit. 

"Ready to take a break and celebrate with me" He smiled as he kissed my cheek.

"But Lea-" He shushed me as he put a finger to my lips. 

"Leah is with my mother, she isn't gonna give her up for a few hours." He replied.

He continued to kiss me as I proceeded to remove his shirt. I threw it to the side as I started to caress him slowly. As he stood up to undo his belt i saw there was a fresh bruise on his side. 

"What's that bruise?" I asked him as I slowly leaned up to poke it. 

He flinched a bit as I touched it with my index finger.

"Nothing babe, just a gym injury." He answered.

I knew he was lying, cause there was no way he was at the gym. We had been packing and moving this whole week. How could he had gone to the gym if he was with me? I raised my eyebrow at im and folded my arms. 

"Well, Deshawn came by and we had a talk." He sat on the bed next to me.

"Deshawn! What the hell did he want, over Krystal?" I asked, I already knew that was the reason.

"Yeah, cause I put her in jail and basically tryna tell me that I better keep my own daughter safe" He said. "Fuck him  babe, He doesn't know whats coming" he threatened. 

When he said it made me fearful, I knew he would do anything to keep me and Leah safe, even if it meant doing something stupid.

"I hope you're not about to do something stupid J.R" I looked at him concerned. "Look, Deshawn isn't just a regular dude, he will have you dead before you even come for him, and I need you here with me."

"Don't even worry Mel, i'll be fine. He won't even see me coming." He tried to reassure me. The last thing I needed was my child's father being killed before he/she was even born. I sighed deeply as he stood up and turned to me.

"I don't know what the problem is Mel, You don't want me to stick up for myself? I'm not about to let him punk me an-"

"I'm pregnant J.R"

He paused a bit as he was processing what I had just told him.

"You're pregnant?" He asked. I nodded slowly.

"Wow Mel, I had no idea, why didn't you tell me?"

"There was alot of stress going on with the case, my dad, and even moving, I didn't want you to stress out even more." I confessed as I scratched my head slowly.

"No baby this is wonderful news, Im excited to be here with you and Leah. I cant wait for this new baby. I'm serious." He touched my belly slowly. 

He was right, this wasn't added stress this was a blessing for us and our new beginnings. I was happy that J.R was so supportive, he was the only blessing in my life right now. We really needed each other not just mentally but emotionally. 

I loved him.

I kissed him passionately as he pushed me back onto the bed he crawled on top of me and kissed my neck as I giggled. He rolled me over on top of him I gave him another kiss before stopping as I heard my phone ring.

"Just leave it" He begged as I picked up the phone.

"I can't its Symone!" I had to answer and give her a cuss out, because she hadn't been answering my calls. She wasn't calling me back either.

"Bitch where have you been?!" I answered the phone as I sat on top of J.R him rubbing my belly as if I was 9 months already. 

"Mel, I just wanted to tell you......that.....um" Symone spoke softly on the other line.

"Stop playing Symone, what is it?" I demanded her as I slapped J.R's hands from me. 

"I've been sleeping with Deshawn...." She confessed to me, I was shocked. I got up and sat on the edge of the bed. 

"What?" I asked in disbelief. 

My best friend was sleeping with Deshawn Banks.
