Mine

Chapter 14:

Jazmine

As I headed out of the shop my phone rung. I look and saw it's Mama Carmen.

"Hello?" I answer unlocking my car hopping in.

"Hey, Jaz baby. Can you come over today? I haven't seen you in awhile."

I sighed. "I know Mama. I will come over today, what time?"

"Come after you get Kjayy from daycare because I wanna see my other baby too."

I chuckled. "Okay, mama." I felt bad because I have been avoiding everybody since me and Jay's breakup because I didn't wanna run into him.

After I got off the phone with her I looked at the time. It's 2 and I have a doctors appointment in 15 minutes then I'll get Kjayy and go to Mama Carmen's.

I'm three months pregnant now and nope it's been two months and nobody knows yet. I'm not really showing yet, but I wear looser shirts to hide anything until I'm ready to tell everybody. Kjayy notices it at home because he always pokes it but he never asks.

I continued to feel bad as I made my way over to Mama Carmen's house. I have been doing hair and spending time with Kjayy. That's what I do all day everyday.

I looked down at what I was wearing to make sure the small forming bump was well hidden. I had on black tights, pink sneakers, and a loose pink sweatshirt.

I walked into Mama Carmen's house like I always do.

"Mama!" I shouted.

"In the kitchen, baby!" she shouted back.

Kjayy ran into the living room turning on the tv like he lives here. While I made my way into the kitchen.

"Hey, ma!" I said smiling shyly.

"No, don't hey me. Where the hell you been!?" she said placing her hand on her hip glaring at me.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Just getting my heart broken, it's just-" I sighed shaking my head. "I'ma get it together and stop hiding from everybody."

"You better. I don't care if you and my trifling ass son on the outs, you better not remove us out your life." I nodded. "Now what's this I hear about you not letting Jayceon see Kjayy?" My head snapped back in surprise.

"Wait, what? Jayceon gets him every weekend and anytime in between."

"Why the hell would you lie to me?" She snapped looking behind me. I turn and see Jayceon standing in the kitchen entrance staring at me.

"Because I wanted to see her and I knew this would be the only way since she won't answer my calls or texts." He said still not looking away from me.

I roll my eyes and look back at Mama Carmen not believing she invited me here while he's here. "I had to y'all need to talk," she said making me sigh with annoyance.

Just then Pops comes into the kitchen with Joelle.

"Hey, babygirl," Pop said hugging me making me smile. He kissed Mama Carmen then grabbed a beer from the refrigerator. "Dickhead," he said to Jay as he walked out.

"Jaz, I missed you," Joelle said hugging me a little too close so I know she felt my bump. I tensed as she pulled back looking at me with big eyes I shook my head which she nodded in return.

"I missed you too, boo. We gotta catch up your 17 now. You got a boyfriend yet?" I ask with knowing eyes and she blushes.

"You better the fuck not," Jay snapped just when I almost forgot he was here.

Joelle sighed rolling her eyes. "We got a lot to talk about, when can I stay over?"

"Whenever. I got some stuff for you at the house since I didn't see you on your birthday."

"Tonight?" she asks.

"Yeah, sure. It'll just be me and you because Kjayy goes with Jay."

"Yeah, we gotta talk about that too because my brother is a dickhead," she tried to whisper the last part but Mama Carmen heard her and popped her in the back of the head making me chuckle.

"Watch ya damn mouth. Even tho it's true." She glared at Jay and he glared back. "But Joelle go pack a bag while I talk to these two."

"What are y'all waiting for? Sit y'all asses down," she said making us both head to the kitchen table.

Jay walks past me rubbing his hand over my ass. Then leans into my ear. "Ya ass look fatter, ma. Let me find out you giving up my pussy I'ma fuck you up and kill that nigga." I suck my teeth before sitting down.

"What he say?" Mama Carmen asked and I couldn't help but laugh at the smirk on her face.

"Anyways," she started. "Y'all need to talk and figure this out because y'all know damn well y'all belong together."

Jay looked at me and I just looked back at him. I sighed then looked back at Mama Carmen.

"What's there to talk about?" Jay finally spoke.

"What's there to talk about?" I mumbled repeating what he said. "That I got cheated on, feed bullshit lies, me ending up heartbroken, or the fact that the man I'm in love with might be having a baby to another bitch, which was created during our time." I shrugged sarcastically. "Yeah, I guess there's nothing to talk about."

"Why can't you just get the fuck over this shit!?" Jay shouts.

"You want me to get the fuck over it!? Do you know me getting over it consists of me getting over you, me losing all feelings that I have for you, me falling out of love with you, me moving on from you. Now ask ya self do you really want me to get the fuck over it that easily?" I shouted back standing up now. Tears welled in my eyes but I wasn't going to let them fall. I cried constantly for months and I'm done crying.

"I love you, mama, but I have to go. I'll leave Kjayy here so you can spend time with him." I walked into the living room to say bye to Kjayy and Pops, then got Joelle and left.

*

"Thanks, Jaz." Joelle said looking at all the stuff I brought her. I got her sneakers like me. A pair of heels and outfits to match each.

"You're welcome."

"Now I can wear these heels and an outfit on my date," she said trying to sound all nonchalant.

"What? With who?" I asked getting excited making her laugh.

"Mark."

"I knew it!" I shouted.

"How'd you know?"

"He was always paying attention to you. I don't know how you didn't notice it. So that's ya little boo now?"

"Yeah." She blushed. "Whatever now on to you little miss pregnant."

I sigh. "I know, I know, I know."

"So nobody knows?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Only you, and you can't say anything until I'm ready to."

"Ugh, fine, Jaz. Can I see your stomach tho?" I took off my hoodie leaving me in only a tank top now.

"Awh it's still small, it's cute on you." She says rubbing it. "How far along are you?"

"3 months."

"You know you're going to have to tell everybody soon, right?" I nod looking down at my stomach.

I laid in my bed staring at the text I just received from Jay.

Jay: I love you.

I get that text multiple times throughout the day from Jay, but I never reply knowing I still love him too.
