''Boy, I can't seem to get you outta my head
But there's something about you that makes me smile
Don't change, I like the way you make me feel
Can we take our time and do this for a while''-SWV
Lauren has a life that any woman could want. She has...
I gulped tryna swallow my whole nerves away. "You p-pregnant?"
She chuckled softly. "Yes baby. See." She placed the white stick in front of me.
|| Pregnant
She smiled at me. "Well aren't you happy,Eric?"
Before I could truly answer her,I could see the emotions in her eyes. True happiness. I couldn't ruin this for her, especially if that's my child she's carrying.
"Y-yea baby, I can't wait for this baby to enter into our lives." She hopped outta the chair,hugging me tightly.
"Oh,Eric me neither. I'm so happy that I'm finally carrying baby." She grabbed my hands. "Ya know,I think that this baby would help us get back closer than we were before."
At this point all types of questions were popping into my head.
What Ima do 'bout Lauren? How she gon feel 'bout this? She can't know! This is my last chance and I fucked it up again.
"Eric!!!" I snapped myself back into reality. "My next doctors appointment is next weekend,Are you gonna be able to make it."
"Uh,yea. Sure baby."
She smiled and peck my lips. "Okay. Well lemme go and tell my mother the news. She's gon be excited." She went upstairs,leaving me by myself.
What the fuck is goin' on? She's pregnant. Tomica pregnant.
Lauren is gonna officially be done with me.

I sat here for the longest in my thoughts,what did I get myself into again?
Another terrible heartache,that I know I ain't gon be able to take. But noooo,just had to get yo ass involved with him again,huh,Lauren.
While he's tellin' me things when he's with me,he's prolly sayin' the same shit to her.
Damn,why can't I stop loving him.
I heard a knock on the door. "Yo-yo,Lauren it's time to record this song." Harlee announced.
Me still in my thoughts. "Iight,gimme a minute,I'm comin'." Harlee huffed,knowing this was my third time askin' him for a minuet.
"Iight what he did now?" Harlee ask pullin' a chair up besides me.
In shock,I stared at him. "How-"
"Because Lauren there are least things that doesn't phase you except the things he do to you. Now what he done did?"
"Harlee,can I ask you something?"
He stared at me,jokingly. "You already did."
I just stared at him,givin' him a solid look.
"My bad,continue."
"How do you get over somebody?"
He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "Just get over-"
I cut him off. "No I mean how do get over the person you think you ever love and ever be with? How do you try to pry yourself outta that person's life. But sad thing is they want you in their life as much as you want them in yours. So how?" I asked feeling a single tear drop down on my hand.
Harlee grabbed my hand. "Lolo,it ain't easy that's for sure -no pun intended." He mentioned makin' me laugh a lil.
"But sometimes you just gotta let them go. Trust me the more it's hurtin' you now,just imagine how much you'd be at peace with your heart. It takes time and it take thoughts. You have to be strong and prepare yourself for a move like that. It's really hurting both of y'all. All that sneakin' around and shit ain't goin' no where obviously,so really I think it's best to move on. That was what you were doin' before all this shit started."
"But-"
"But nothin' Nicole." Harlee interrupted. "Look I ain't tellin' you this to be evil. I'm tellin' you this from experience and knowledge." He said pointing to his head.
I sniffed. "Harlee,how it felt when you let her go?"
"Honestly,it hurt me so much, I literally thought I was gon go insane. But the more I put into my head that she wasn't no good for me. The more I made it out on my own." I nodded in understanding.
He gripped my hand softly. "Don't worrying,baby sis. As soon as you make this out on your own,Ima be here for you." I gave him a side smile and hugged him.
"Thank you." I whispered.
° As I drove home,I start to really think 'bout what Harlee said.
I mean is being in peace really worth for me to throw away 6 years of us together.
I love that man.
I pulled in my driveway and hopped out the car. I pulled my house keys outta my hoodie.
As I walked up the steps. I saw those familiar brown-blondish dreadlocks again.
"Kaleb?"
He looked up and grinned at me. "Hey Babygirl." He walked up to me wrapping his arms around my waist,lifting me off the ground.
