Page 35 of Too Many One Nights

“Watch I break yo’ face.” His only response was to laugh, so I walked off from his dumb ass and left. When I got home, I didn’t hear Goldie. I decided to go take a shower before going to check on her. After I finished my shower, I walked to her room and knocked. I didn’t get an answer, so I let myself in. That’s when I heard her throwing up. Going inside the bathroom, I stood behind her until she finished. She looked at me through the mirror as she brushed her teeth and rinsed out her mouth.

“I thought they gave you something for that shit?”

“They did, but it’s not going to immediately start working.”

I let her pass me and watched as she got back in bed. She looked miserable as fuck and that made me feel like shit because it wasn’t shit I could do. My next move shocked the shit out of both of us, because I got in bed with her and pulled her into my chest and rubbed her stomach. She initially tensed up, but it didn’t last long. I didn’t know if the shit was helping or not, but I figured I could show some kind of emotional support.

Maybe I was falling for my baby mama?

Nic

sometime later…

EversincethenightBuck slept in the bed with me, things with us have been…interesting. He actually seems to care about how I’m feeling. To my knowledge, he hasn’t been staying at the condo downstairs, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t sleeping with these hoes. We’re talking about Buck DeLuca here. One thing he was gone do was fuck on these hoes. I was off today and so was Mel, so we were going to spend the day together before going to our mom’s house. I was almost four months pregnant and although I wasn’t huge; I was starting to show. I still wore my crop tops, so my lil’ pudge was always on display unless I was at work. I tried to conceal it as much as I could to keep shit down, but that didn’t stop Buck from checking on me and making sure Kasha knew to make sure I was good and that the cook knew how to cook anything that I asked for. Everybody seemed to be cool except for Armani’s ass. Outside of Kasha, they just figured I was his ‘favorite’ at the moment. I was cool with that as long as they didn’t come at me sideways. I took my braids out a while ago and now my curly honey blonde tresses were up in a messy bun. I was applying my lip gloss when Buck walked into my room. He let his eyes run amuck over my body, causing my skin to flush. We’ve gotten closer but we haven’t had sex again, or done anything intimate outside of sharing a bed when I got sick.

“Where you going?” he asked as he stood in the doorway with his hands stuffed in his jeans.

“Going out with Mel. We’re going to have a girl’s day.” It has been a minute since I’ve been able to spend time with my sister. She tried to avoid the topic of discussion when I asked her about Kilo, but I was on her ass today. She was gone tell me something.

“Oh, aight. Here, take this.” he pulled a card out of his wallet and handed it over to me. I gave him a blank look because I was confused as to why he was giving me his card when I had my own money.

“Uhm, no thank you. I don’t need it.”

“I wasn’t asking you, Goldie. Take the card and do whatever you need to do with it. Get you some shit…on me,” he instructed.

I squinted my eyes, trying to see if I could see what his angle was. “Why are you being so nice?” I questioned because it was hard for me to believe that he was genuinely being nice, even though things have been cordial between us.

Scoffing, he came closer and peered down at me. “I don’t know why you think I’m this bad nigga, Goldie. Am I perfect? Absolutely not, but I’m me. I told you I treat people accordingly and right now; I’m trying to treat me baby mama to some nice shit. Can you let me do that without all the other speculations?” He was staring down at me so intensely as he spoke that my voice was caught in my throat. I was glad to hear my phone ring, breaking me out of the trance that Buck currently had me in.

I cleared my throat as I backed up to put some space between us before I picked up my phone. I saw it was Mel, so I answered immediately.

“Hello?”

“I’m here,” she responded.

“Okay. I’m on my way down.”

I hung up and grabbed my crossbody and threw over my head.

“I’m about to head out, so I’ll walk you out.” Still taken aback by his gentle demeanor, I simply nodded and followed him out of my room. He stopped by his room before joining me by the door. He pressed the button on the elevator, and we boarded. The ride down was silent, with him looking at his phone the entire time. When we got to the lobby, he motioned for me to get off, with him trailing closely behind. After opening the lobby door that led outside, he walked to Mel’s car and opened the door for me.

“Wassup, sis?” He leaned down and smirked at her as I got in.

“Boy, leave me alone,” she countered with a smirk.

“Hit me up if you need me,” were his parting words before he closed the door and we pulled off.

No sooner than the door was shut, Mel started her shit. “Bitch, what was that? You fuckin’ yo baby daddy?” she rambled. Leave it to her to make something out of nothing.

“No, I’m not fuckin’ him, Mel.” I sighed at the thought, because it’s not because I didn’t want to. I don’t know why I thought he would eventually come around, but he’s sticking true to his word by not fucking the same pussy twice. I don’t know how much longer I could hold out with his sexy ass under the same roof without jumping on his dick…literally.

“You sound disappointed.” She glanced over at me before putting her eyes back on the road.

“Is it bad that I am?” I looked at her side profile, waiting for her to respond. She gave me a soft expression before she spoke again.
