I Can Be The One Chapter Four ~The next night~ Samiya had just come home from her cosmetology class and she was dog-tired. But she hadn’t even been all that busy that evening. She had stopped by the store on her way home, so now she was in her kitchen putting away her groceries. Suddenly she was startled by her phone ringing. That’s gotta be Shonda, she thought. She is the only person that ever call me this late. “Hello?” she said when she picked up the phone. “Can I speak to Samiya?” asked a voice she didn’t recognize. “This is she. Who’s this?” she questioned. “It’s me, Marques.” “Oh! Hi, Marques!” she said smiling. “Hey. Oh and u can call me Marq,” he told her. “Okay. Wass up Marq? I didn’t think I was gonna hear from u.” “Oh that’s messed up. I told u I wasn’t gonna let your number go to waste,” he said jokingly. “Well, I’m glad u didn’t,” she replied happily. “Me too. So tell me bout yourself.” They spent the next hour and a half talking and getting to know each other. They found out that they had a lot in common with each other. They even told each other why they were single at the moment. Before they ended their conversation, Marques asked Samiya out on a date. Of course she said yes. They decided to keep it simple and just do dinner and a movie the next night. After working out all the details, they each said goodnight and hung up their phones. Samiya was too happy to go to bed, even though she was still tired. She decided to call LaShonda and tell her the good news. Unfortunately, LaShonda wasn’t answering her phone. Oh well, I guess I’ll just go to bed, she thought. ………………………………………. The next day, Marques found himself cleaning up his whole apartment. He wanted to bring Samiya back to his place and cook dinner for her after the movie. But remembering that it was only their first date, he decided against it. He liked Samiya a lot but he didn’t wanna rush into anything. Later that evening as he was getting ready for his date, he heard a knock on his door. When he opened it, he found Jasmine standing looking sad. “Jasmine, what are u doing here?” he questioned her. “Marques, I need u back,” she replied. “What!?! U the one that dumped me, remember.” “I know and now I realize I was wrong. I love u Marq. Please come back to me.” “I don’t think so. Now u gotta go cause I got thangs to do.” “Like what? What could be more important that your girlfriend?” “Excuse you. EX-girlfriend. And it ain’t none of ya business.” “Marq please. I need u.” “Bye Jasmine,” he said as he closed the door before she could say anything else. As Marques went back to getting ready, he started to wonder why Jasmine all of sudden had a change of heart. At first, she didn’t even wanna talk to him. Now she wants him back. Something ain’t right with her, he thought. But he didn’t worry about it for too long, all he wanted to think about was his date with Samiya. He began to imagine how good she would look when he picked her up. Finally, he left his apartment and headed to Samiya’s. When he arrived, he found which apartment was hers, rang the doorbell, and waited patiently for her to answer.

…………………………………
When Saimya heard her doorbell ring, she immediately got nervous. I hope I look okay, she thought. When she opened her door, she couldn’t believe what she saw. Marques was standing there smiling, looking scrumdeliumptious. This is the finest caramel colored brotha I ever seen in my life, she thought to herself.
“Hey. Come on in,” she greeted him with a smile. “Thanks. How u been doing?” he asked politely. “I been aight. I was a little sick this morning, but I’m cool now. How bout yourself?” “I’m straight. I can’t complain. U ready to go?” “Yeah.”
Marques took Samiya to this very nice restaurant where they had a lovely dinner and chatted about any and everything they could think of. Samiya was having a great time. She really enjoyed talking to Marques. She loved his personality. And he was very silly, which was also a plus. She likes a man that can make her laugh. After dinner, they headed to the movies. They skipped out on popcorn since they had just eaten dinner. Marques held Samiya’s hand as they walked into the theater together to find good seats. Once they were seated comfortably, they chatted quietly while they waited for the previews to end. When the movie was about to start, Marques put his arm around Samiya. Pleased with his actions, Samiya leaned on the armrest that was between them then rested her head on Marques’ shoulder. They sat quietly and watched the movie, enjoying the warmth of each other’s body.
After the movie, Marques took Samiya home. Once they had reached her apartment complex, Marques decided to walk Samiya to her door.
“I had a really great time tonight.” Samiya told Marques once they had reached her door. “Yeah me too. We should do it again sometime,” Marques replied with a grin. “Ya know, u have a very beautiful smile,” Samiya said. “Fa real? Thank you.” Marques was caught off guard. He had never been told anything like that. “So I guess I’ll see ya later.” “Can I call u tomorrow?” “I’d be disappointed if u didn’t.” “Well that last thing I wanna do is disappoint u,” Marques said still grinning. “Goodnight Marques,” Samiya said. “Goodnight Samiya,” Marques said as he kissed her cheek. He turned around and headed back to his vehicle. He had really enjoyed his date with Samiya. She turned to be everything he thought she would be and more. She had a beautiful face, beautiful body, and a beautiful personality. He couldn’t wait for the next time they would go out together.
During the next two weeks, Marques and Samiya spent quite a bit of time together. They really liked each other, so they decided to make it official and be boyfriend and girlfriend. But Samiya had still been getting sick almost every day. She didn’t tell Marques cause she didn’t want him to worry; besides she was only sick in the mornings. She had also noticed that her period was a week late. Samiya was desperately hoping that she wasn’t pregnant. She decided to go to the doctor to find out exactly what was going on with her body. Unfortunately, the doctor told her the one thing that she was dreading the most. She was in fact pregnant. Samiya’s heart broke into a million pieces. She knew that Darnell was the father because he was the last person she slept with. But she didn’t want Darnell to father her child. He had broken her heart and she hated him with a passion. Then she thought about Marques. They had just started going together officially. What would he do when he found out that she was having another man’s baby? Would he still wanna be with her? Samiya thought about all this as she drove home from the doctor, and her eyes became watery. I hope Marques doesn’t leave me, she thought. How can I be pregnant? I was on birth control and Darnell and I always used a condom. But I guess that stuff isn’t 100% fool proof, she thought sadly. How am I gonna tell Marques? What will Darnell say when I tell him? By the time she got home, Samiya’s head was spinning with so many questions that she had given herself a headache. But being pregnant, she didn’t know what kind of pain medicine she could take. So she just laid down on her couch and tried to take her mind off of things. Her apartment was completely silent. So silent that she eventually dozed off to sleep.
Two and a half hours later, she awoke to a throbbing headache worse than before she fell asleep. She called the doctor to find out of she could take any pain medicine. He told her the only think she could take was Tylenol. She then decided to call Marques.
“Hello?” he answered. “Hey Marq. It’s me Samiya,” she told him. “Hey baby. Wass up?” he said glad to hear her voice. “U busy?” she asked. “Naw I’m just watching tv. Whatcha need?” “Can u do me a favor?” she asked feeling her eyes watering again. “Anything. Whatcha need me to do?” he asked noticing the sadness in her voice. “I need u to come over here as soon as u get a chance. I gotta talk to u about something very important.” “I’m on my way. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” “Okay. And can u bring me some Tylenol. I have a horrible headache. I’ll pay u back when u get here.” “I got u. Just sit tight.” “Thank u.” “No problem. I’ll see u in a minute, okay?” “Okay. Bye Marq.” “Bye baby.”
Samiya continued to lie on her couch while she waited patiently for Marques. When he finally arrived, she let him in and led him to the couch. She took two of the Tylenol that he had brought for her then joined him on the couch.
“How much I owe u for the Tylenol?” she asked him. “Nuthin, don’t worry about it. What do u need to talk to me about?” “Um…I don’t really know how to say this.” “It’s aight. Just say it.” “Well, um, I been sick a lot lately and I didn’t tell u cuz I didn’t want u to worry. But my period was late so I went to the doctor and found out that I’m pregnant,” she said quickly in what seemed like one breath. “You’re pregnant?” Marques asked in disbelief. “Yes. But I didn’t cheat on u or nuthin. I’m five weeks, so it happened before me and u hooked up,” she said as she began to cry. “Please don’t cry Samiya. It’s gonna be okay.” “I just don’t want u to leave me because I’m pregnant by my ex-boyfriend,” she said as tears streamed down her face. “What!?! Leave u? No. I’m your man now. And that’s all that matters.” “Really?” she asked slightly relieved. “Yes. Now stop crying. Have u told him yet?” “No. I just found out this morning. You’re the only person that knows,” she replied wiping her eyes. “What? U haven’t told your best friend LaShonda, yet? I feel special,” he said smiling. “U are special.” “Look Samiya. U can get through this, okay. And I’m here for u. We’ll get through it together. But u gotta tell the father. He needs to know he has a kid on the way.” “He won’t care. Marq he cheated on me. He’ll think I’m lying to get him back or sumthing.” “U still gotta tell him.” “I know. I just don’t know how. And I’m afraid of his reaction.” “I’m here if u need me. I’ll be like moral support or whatever it’s called.” “Thanks. U are too good to me,” she said hugging him. “And u are too good for me. Just let me know when you’re ready to tell him and I’ll come hold your hand or something.” “I think I wanna tell him now so I can get it over with. Is that okay?” “Yeah. Go ahead.”
Samiya smiled at Marq then picked up the phone. She dialed Darnell’s number and waited for him to answer. She let the phone ring six times but there was no answer. She hung up.
“He didn’t answer,” she told Marques. “U can try again later,” he said pulling her close to him. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her forehead. “I don’t deserve u,” she said softly. “You’re right,” he stated. “U deserve better than me.”
Chapter five coming soon!
