Chapter 6
Melanie:
After Amaya left I sat on the couch watching TV with Cameron. I called Corahn earlier and he agreed to come over and hang out with me for the night. I really like Corahn and I just hope the fact that I'm pregnant doesn't ruin our relationship. I want a deeper relationship with him but it's gonna be hard because I barely know him. Gosh I'm so stupid for having sex with him already.
I checked my phone to see a few texts.
Amaya: lol we're at the club now..
Me: have fun!
Chrishelle: hey babes wyd
Me: lol waiting for my man to come over.
Chrishelle: ooooooh I'll call you later lol.
Me: :*
Corahn: hey babe I'm omw
Me: okay
I texted all of them back. I was starting to get nervous as I knew Corahn was soon to be here. I thought it was really interesting that he was calling me babe an stuff like that all the time... it kind of scared me. This whole thing scared me.
I sighed and flipped the channel as I saw Cameron was asleep.
I carried him into his bedroom and laid him to sleep.
When I walked back into the living room I heard a knock at the door.
I answered it to see Corahn.
"Wassup Mel?"
"Hey." I said as he hugged me then kissed my cheek.
"You look nice."
"Really? Thank you."
"No problem." He said sitting on the couch.
"You want something to drink?"
"Uhm some water would be fine."
I walked to the kitchen and grabbed him a water bottle.
"So what's up?" He asked as I sat back down on the couch.
I sighed "Uhm."
He just stared at me.
"Corahn uhm I'm pregnant..."
"What you mean?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Oh... What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know.. This is is just crazy like we're not even dating..."
"Yeah I know... But I really like you."
"I like you too." I smiled.
"So are you gonna keep it?"
"Of course."
"Okay..."
"Why? You don't want to keep it?"
"I'm not saying that... I'm just just saying I don't think we're ready for a baby... I mean we're barely together..."
"Well I'm going to keep it."
"Okay...and I'm gonna be here for you and the baby every step of the way."
"Really?" I said looking away from him.
"Yes."
"And how am I supposed to believe that when I barely know you... I know nothing about you, your family, your past, none of that!"
"I guess you'd just have to take my word on it..."
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"And you can ask me any question that you have for me." He said rubbing my arm.
"Okay." I said as hot tears stared to run down my cheek.
"Melanie, what's wrong?"
"I'm scared Corahn, I'm scared." I cried.
"Shhhhh. Melanie it's alright I'm here for you." He said putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Okay." Was all I could say.

"Shhhhh. Melanie it's alright I'm here for you." He said putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Okay." Was all I could say.
Corahn:
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Yeah I like Melanie a lot but I'm definitely not ready for a child with her. I'm scared, and she's scared. This is gonna take some time getting used to for real. I wish I could go back to that night and not have been so stupid. Like why did my dumb ass not wear a condom. I was drunk, she was drunk. Damn. Well we're just gonna have to see what happens in these next nine months.
I layed back on the couch with my arm around Melanie. As we watched TV I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket from a text message.
Shelle: hey babe.. I really miss you.. just call me when you can.
Me: hey ... I'm out right now, but I'll call you when I get home..? :)
Shelle: okay.
Me: oh and what are you doing Saturday?
Shelle: probably chill at the house. why?
Me: oh idk I gotta see about some things but I think Javaughn is having a get together.
Shelle: mhm idk is Alex gonna be there?
Me: Girl hell no. lol
Shelle: lol good... but I'll see how I feel.
Me: alright talk to you later.. love you.
Shelle: Love you too :*
After I replied I looked over to see Melanie asleep. I grabbed the blanket from the other side of the couch and placed it over her. I continued to watch the movie until I fell asleep.
Shit. Shit. Shit.

Amaya:
"So you want me to take you home?" Javaughn asked me as we walked out to his car. The liquid courage was starting to get to me, and I wasn't ready to go home.
"How far is your place from here?" I asked as he opened the door for me. He walked and got in on his side and started the car.
"Uh about ten minutes or so.. why?"
"Let's go there... I think its a little late to be driving to my house ya know?"
"Oh yeah yeah you're right." He smiled and pulled out of the parking lot.
I went to text Melanie that I would be staying the night with Javaughn.
After about fifteen minutes we arrived at his apartment.
"This is nice." I said getting out of the car.
"Aw you didn't let me get the door for you.. but thanks." he laughed.
"Oh I'm sorry, but its fine."
He laughed and unlocked the door turning on a light switch.
"Aww see this is really cute." I said admiring his living room.
He laughed. "Thanks. My mom decorated it when I moved down here."
I smiled as he went to turn the television on.
I sat down on the couch while he sat next to me.
"Let me get you some sweats and a shirt to sleep in..I'll be back."
"Okay."
"You can change the channel." he said walking down the hallway.
I flipped the channel to BET seeing that Love Jones was on. wow thought to myself when isn't this on.
While laid back to watch it Javaughn walked back into the room with new clothes on.
"Here."
"Thanks." I said taking the clothes from his hands.
"Uhm where can i change?"
"You can go in my room if you want.. I'll stay out here."
"Okay."
"Its the room straight down the hall.. last door on the right." He smiled and I smiled back.
I walked to his bedroom and closed the door, changing into the clothes he had given me.
Once I got dressed I walked back into the living room to see Javaughn watching TV.
"Hey." I said sitting down.
"You look nice in my clothes..."
I smiled. "Thanks."
"You can sleep in my room and I'll sleep out here on the couch."
"Okay that's cool."
He laughed.
"Well I'm gonna go to sleep now since I have an early class in the morning..."
"Okay let me go and make sure every thing is good." Javaughn said leading me to his bedroom.
I sat down on his bed and he turned on the TV.
"Alright sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." he said grabbing a blanket and pillow from his closet.
"Wait you have bed bugs?"
"Nah girl I'm joking." he laughed.
"Oh." I smiled. "Well good night I'll see you in the morning."
"Alright.. night." he said half way out of the room.
"Wait..." I said.
He peeked his head in the doorway. "Yeah?"
"Come here."
I said and he walked towards me. "What's up?"
"Come here." I said pulling his chin closer to me.
"Good night." I said kissing him.
He smiled. "Good night Amaya."

Melanie:
When the morning came I saw that Corahn was still here laying next me. I smiled because he looks so cute when he's sleep.
I checked my phone to see a text from Amaya from last night.
Amaya: I'm going to his house for the night...lol kiss my baby for me.
I laughed at the text because I had a feeling she would be staying the night.
I stood up and turned the TV off which was blaring, and then walked to check on Cameron.
"Good morning Cam!"
"Good morning auntie Mel!" he said sitting up from his bed and running to hug me.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes."
"Okay do you want some pancakes?"
"Yes please!"
"Okay let's go brush our teeth and then I'll make them for you." I said walking into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
After we brushed our teeth we went straight to the kitchen where I started to prepare the breakfast.

Corahn:
I rolled over to see Melanie cooking breakfast with Cameron. Wow I never knew she was that beautiful.
I sighed and stood up to stretch. As I was stretching I caught a glimpse from Melanie.
"Good morning." she said.
"Morning."
"I made you some breakfast if you want."
"Thanks but I'm not a real big breakfast person...plus I gotta go take care of some business at work..." I said walking over to her.
She frowned then smiled. "Oh okay that's fine."
"Alright I'll call you." I said kissing her forehead.
"Okay." she said as she walked me towards the door.
"Bye." I said walking out to my car.
"Bye."
Once I got in my car I started it and called up Chrishelle.

Chrishelle:
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"What's up..."
"I'm on my way to your house."
"Alright, I guess I'll get up."
"Bet.. and I'm bringing you breakfast."
"For what?" She laughed.
"You... and the baby.. damn I can't be nice?" I laughed.
"Yeah you can be nice Corahn." she laughed. "Hurry up. I miss you."
"I miss you too and alright."
"Bye."
I rolled out of bed, showered and then got dressed. Corahn and I have been dating for about a year now and I'm actually really excited to have this baby with him. He says he's excited too so I'm not really tripping.
After about twenty minutes I saw Corahn pull up outside of my apartment.
"Wassup?" Corahn said as I opened the door for him.
"Nothing." I said as he kissed my forehead.
"I got you and the baby some IHOP."
"Yay." I squealed rubbing my stomach... he knows I love IHOP.
I opened the bag and started to grub on these pancakes and bacon.
"So what you been up to?"
"Nothing really just working ya know." he said flipping through the channels on the TV.
I stayed silent enjoying my pancakes.
"When's your next appointment?"
"Uhm... I think its in three weeks... its on the refrigerator." I said as he started to walk towards me. He sat down at the bar and reached for his food out of the bag.
He looked at me and started to laugh.
"What?"
"You couldn't wait for me?"
"No.. the baby couldn't wait for you."
He smiled and started to eat his food.
Damn, I think I love this man.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"What's up..."
"I'm on my way to your house."
"Alright, I guess I'll get up."
"Bet.. and I'm bringing you breakfast."

Amaya:
The next morning I woke up with the TV on with faint sound. I got up from the bed and went to the restroom where I found a new toothbrush and the wash towels he kept in the closet. I did my hygiene thing and walked back to the bedroom to make up the bed. When I finished I walked out into the living room where I heard rustling in the kitchen. Once I walked in the kitchen I saw Javaughn starting to set the table with waffles and bacon and strawberries.
"Good morning." I said sitting at the bar.
"Woah you scared me."
"Really? it's just me and you here..."
"Yeah I know, but I made you some breakfast... I hope you like waffles."
"I love them. Thank you." I said sitting down to eat.
"So what time do you have to leave to get to class."
"Can you take me home in like forty five minutes or so."
"Yeah I gotchu."
I smiled.
"So about last night..." he began.
"Haha what about it."
"That dance though."
"Shut up." I blushed.
"Hmm all I'm saying is that it was nice."
"Well thanks. maybe you can get it again another time."
"I like you."
"I know."
"Hm. You like me to."
"How do you know?"
"I can tell."
"Mhm whatever boy."
"I ain't no boy, I'm a man."
"What you mean a man?"
"I can show you better than I can tell you." he said licking his lips.
I laughed and my face flushed red.
"See I got you blushing."
I finished my waffles and just stared at this beautiful man.
"Hm what I tell you bout that starring."
"I'll stare if I want to." I said smartly.
"Yeah alright."
"Anyway let me wash the dishes before you take me home."
"nah it's cool i go it."
"No you cooked let me wash the dishes."
"Okay. I'll get my keys and stuff."
I smiled as I washed the dishes and put them in the dish washer. When I was finishing Javaughn walked out of his room.
"You ready?"
"Yes." I said grabbing my purse.
We walked out to his car and drove off towards my house.

Javaughn:
Damn. Amaya is beautiful as hell, and she was sleeping in my bed. I really wanted to sleep in their with her, but I didn't want to push the boundaries already.
I hope we can work out cause I think I might want to marry her.
Hahahahaha. Yeah maybe, we haven't even had sex yet, but I'm not rushing anything, we can just chill if she wants, but she'll definitely be mine sooner or later.

Amaya:
"Thanks for taking me home Javaughn." I said as we pulled up to my apartment.
"No problem."
"So when are we hanging out again?"
"Well I'm having a little get together on Saturday...You can come and bring Cameron, and Melanie, and even a friend if you want."
"Haha, well I'll think about it." I smiled.
"Okay well you have a good day, put in work in class."
"Shut up... but I'll see you later." I said leaning over and kissing his cheek.
"Just the cheek?"
"Yeah. Bye Javaughn." I said waving and walking up to unlock my door.
"Bye Amaya."
I watched him drive off and then walked into the house to see Cameron and Melanie eating pancakes.
"Hey baby, hey Mel."
"What's up lil mama."
I smiled. "You goin to class?"
"Yeah I have to."
"Alright imma go shower then get dressed and we can go."
"Cool, and I want to hear about last night."
I blushed thinking about the night before.
