Chapter 37: Have Faith in Me

 

Drake’s P.O.V.





 

Damn right I’m scared of her right now. Nothing’s worse than a mad black woman. “Who told you?” I sighed as I sat on the bed. How does she find out everything? I swear she has people watching me or something.

“Doesn’t matter, why didn’t you? Were you even gonna tell me?” She let some tears escape; now I felt like an ass. I knew I should have told her.

“I was but I couldn’t figure out how,” I cursed myself for making her cry. I hate it when she cries and she knows that.

“Do you still love her?” She asked the one question that I didn’t want to answer. It was silent for a while before Nicki shot up and tried to leave. I grabbed her quickly and pulled her to me. “You still love her!” She cried as she tried to push me away.

“Not like that. I have love for her just like Nebby but I’m in love with you baby,” I tried to calm her down but she kept hitting me.

“I hate you! I hate you for making me feel like this,” she finally just broke down in my arms. I pulled her closer and kissed her head.

“Nothing is gonna happen. We were friends before we got together and we were friends afterwards,” I assured her. She pushed me away and grabbed a pillow and blanket. “You’re sleeping on the couch?” I scrunched my eyebrows.

“No, you are,” she pushed me out of the door and threw them in my face before she slammed the door. I sighed before making my way to the couch.

 

Blake’s P.O.V.



His eyes looked exactly like mine. I’ve always wondered what my father looked like. Seeing him in person is almost like it’s a dream. He looked like I imagined but at the same time he didn’t.

“Dad look, Blakelynn’s here!” Carly pointed to me. I guess that just confirmed his thoughts because he was looking at me in shock; surprise.

“Come on guys,” Shad told them as he brought them upstairs. There was an awkward silence between us. I shook my head and let out a bitter laugh.

“I’ve always wondered how you looked; if I had your eyes or your nose. I had always wondered what I would say if I ever saw you; I had it all planned out but now fuck it. I didn’t come here to bother you or anything, I just wanted you to have this,” I sat the paper on the couch and left. He still stood there in shock. I waited outside after sending Shad a text. I’m getting the fuck out of here.

 

Shad’s P.O.V.



I walked downstairs to see dad still in shock. “Dad!” I waved my hand in front of him. He freezes up when something big happens and I guess this was something big.

“That was Blakelynn?” He turned to me. It looked like he couldn’t believe that was her but then again he hasn’t seen her since she was like three.

“Yeah and that piece of paper on the couch confirms that you are her father,” I told him. He moved quickly to the couch and grabbed the paper. He read the paper and a tear escaped his eye. I have never seen my Dad cry a day in his life so this was new to me.

“They’re my daughters?” He looked up at me. He looked so happy and shocked at the same time. I nodded before talking.

“Yeah, Paris is in New York but Blake wanted you to have that,” I shrugged. He rushed outside and I followed him.

“Blakelynn!” He called to her. She turned around and was immediately wrapped in his embraced. “I’m so sorry for all the years I’ve missed out. Your mother said you weren’t mine and she showed me test results and everything,” he whispered to her. It took her a second but she finally wrapped her arms around him. I left seeing that they were having a moment.

 

Daven’s P.O.V.



 

“I’m going out, don’t wait up,” I grabbed my keys. I was not feeling the fact that Jaymie lied to me again. She lies about shit and I’m sick of it.

“Daven! Please don’t do this. Talk to me!” Jaymie pleaded. She’s been bothering me a while but I’ve been done listening.

 “Why don’t you talk to the ass who took your virginity,” I walked out and got in my car. I waited a few seconds and then she got in. I drove and noticed she was quiet. “Where do you wanna go?” I asked her.

“Anywhere but there; fuck both of them to be honest,” Nicki sighed. I drove until I couldn’t drive anymore. I had no idea where we were. “Wait, my dad’s house is right over there,” she told me. I pulled up there and we just sat in silence. “I can’t believe he was jealous of me hanging out with you when he was hanging out with her,” she pouted.

“Well unlike them, we’re not hiding the fact that we hang out,” I shot her a small smile before we got out. They had no right to hide that from us and it just made things worse.

“My dad and brother are out this weekend,” she said before we walked in. A dog ran towards her and started barking. “Hey Coco!” She bent down and hugged the dog. She ran away afterwards and Nicki showed me to the living room. We sat on the couch and just stared at each other. “Do you think he will cheat on me?” She had tears swell in her eyes.

“He’ll be an idiot to cheat on a girl like you,” I mumbled. I don’t think Drake is that stupid but I don’t know him personally so maybe he is.

“A girl like me?” She looked confused. She really doesn’t know the kind of girl she is and that made me question things that happened in her past to make her not think that.

“You’re a girl that guys would wife up. You’re amazing and you are everything anyone could everyone want in a girl; mind, body, and soul,” I said truthfully. She smiled at me before moving closer.

“You’re too sweet,” she laid her head on my chest. I just let my hand run down her hair as she got comfortable.

“Yeah, Jaymie thinks I’m too nice,” I sighed. She always wanted me to be not as nice as I am but that was one of the things that attracted her at first. Jaymie doesn’t know what she wants and I’m sick of trying to figure it out.

“There aren’t many nice men in this world. You’re special and from what I’ve seen on the basketball court, you don’t have any problem being aggressive,” she joked. I laughed with her before it grew silent.

“You know if I wasn’t in a relationship right now, I would kiss you,” I spoke bluntly. She looked shocked for a moment before smirking, “And if I wasn’t in a relationship, I just might let you.”

We got back when it was dark and I parked in my driveway. “Thanks for today, I need to get away,” she smiled at me. It was like a break from the real world and I needed that too.

“Anytime Nic,” I said as we got out. I hugged her and kissed her forehead.

“Go make up with your girl,” she grinned.

“Go make up with your guy,” I grinned back before letting her go. I walked in and the lights were off; bet everyone’s sleep. I went upstairs and opened my bedroom door. Jaymie jumped up when she saw me. She ran into my arms and apologized over and over. “Don’t lie to me anymore,” I told her as we pulled away. She bit her lips before nodding.

“Let me show you how sorry I am,” she said before dropping her robe.

 

Nicki’s P.O.V.

Being with Daven was relaxing but now I have to face the drama. I walked in and Drake was sitting at the table with My. It was ten so she should be asleep.

“What are you still doing up?” I asked her as I walked closer. She looked exhausted and that made me worry.

“She had a bad dream,” Aubrey answered. I am not trying to hear his voice right about now.

“Why are you still up My?” I completely ignored him. He sensed that and huffed in frustration.

“I had a bad dream about monsters,” she mumbled. I picked her up and brought her to her room. I think I know what made her have a bad dream.

 “Did you sleep in the dark?” I questioned even though I already knew the answer. She nodded and I put her in her bed before I turned her nightlight on. “There shouldn’t be any more monsters,” I kissed her forehead before leaving. Aubrey forgot to turn on her nightlight. If it’s not on, she’s get scared. I went into my room and saw Aubrey waiting for me. I moved around him and got changed.

“Where were you?” He looked at me. I walked into the bathroom and tied my hair up. “I’m sorry Onika, is that what you want to hear?” He walked into the bathroom.

“I want you to actually mean it,” I pushed past him and climbed into the bed. He always says shit because he knows that I want to hear it but he never means anything.

“I do mean it. Baby, Jaymie is only a friend. I’ve been texting her for years as just a friend,” he admitted. If she was just a friend then why did they act like they didn’t know each other?

“It better stay that way,” I snapped. I didn’t even like them being friends but I’ll trust him for now.

“Same with you and Daven,” he snapped back. Now he has to shut up because Daven and I are just friends and we don’t hide that.

“The moment you step out of line, it’s gonna get bad. I believe my name is Karma so if you hurt me, I’ll hurt you worse,” I promised him.

“Not planning on it,” he got on the bed and pulled me close. “So were you with him?” I heard him ask into my neck.

“Goodnight Aubrey,” I turned the light off and went to sleep.

 

 

Nae’s P.O.V.





 

I walked inside of Target to get some stuff before meeting him. Aaron was on my right with his arm around me.

“Babe, I’m gonna get some beer,” he kissed me before walking in that direction. He stays drinking that but I don’t mind. It’s not like I don’t stay popping pills. I went to pick up some more lipstick. As I grabbed one, I bumped into someone.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” she said. I turned around and locked eyes with Blake. It was awkward for a minute until she heard Chimere call her name from the other aisle. She started walking but turned to look at me one more time. To make things even worse, Aaron walked back and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“You got what you need baby?” He mumbled into my neck. I turned and looked at Blake but she just shook her head before walking off. She knows exactly who he is and now she’s just gonna assume things. Great, now she’s gonna think I’m an even worse person than she already thinks.

“Yeah,” I sighed before we left. “I’ll meet you in the car,” I told him before walking to the side of the store. I saw him and started walking to him. “Here,” I handed him the pills.

“Thanks,” he mumbled while passing me the money.

“No problem Drake,” I smirked before walking off.
