Sorry it took so long yall. hope u like it!
“Jasmine, what the hell are u talking about?” Marques asked angrily.
“She must be high off the pain medicine or something,” Jerome whispered.
“I heard u Rome. I’m not high off nuthin. I know what I’m talking about,” Jasmine said in a hoarse voice.
“U know damn well I did not do this to u. I been with Samiya all day,” Marques stated trying not to raise his voice.
“Sir, we’re gonna have to take u in for questioning,” one of the officers told Marques.
“For what!? Man I didn’t do nuthin!” Marques yelled as the other officer put him in handcuffs. He tried to get them off of him, but the two officers kept a tight grip on him. Samiya stood there speechless while the officers took Marques away. All she could think about was how much she hated Jasmine for what she was doing to Marq. What could possess her to lie on him like that? Then she became upset with herself for not speaking up in his defense. Her thoughts were interrupted when Jerome offered to give her a ride home. They didn’t say anything to Jasmine as they left. She had officially pissed everybody off.
When she had arrived home, Samiya called LaShonda and told her everything that had just happened. LaShonda told her that everything would work out and be okay and that she should just get some rest and not stress herself about it. But Samiya couldn’t sleep. She was hoping to hear from Marques, but she didn’t know if he would use his one phone call on her. She laid in her bed watching tv as she tried to go to sleep. About twenty minutes later, just as she had dozed off, the sound of her phone ringing startled her out of her sleep.
“Hello?”
“Samiya, it’s me Marq. Was u sleep?”
“No, I’m up. How are u? What did they say?” she asked relieved to hear his voice.
“I’m straight but I gotta stay here overnight for resisting arrest. They wanna question u in the morning since I said I was my alibi. Samiya I am so sorry for putting u in this.”
“It’s okay. I’ll come pick u up in the morning and I’ll just answer any questions they have for me then. I’m just glad you’re okay and that u only gotta stay for tonight. I was so worried about u.”
“Listen, u can’t be worrying about me and stuff. You gotta think about yourself and that baby. I’ll be fine, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll try. What time u want me to come get u in the morning?”
“Uh…I think they gonna release me at about 10:00. U sure u don’t mind coming down here?”
“Yeah I’m sure. I’ll be there at 9:45, okay?”
“U are too good to me. Look, I gotta go. Somebody else need to use the phone. I’ll see ya tomorrow.
“Okay. Bye.”
“Bye.”
Samiya got up early the next morning so she could go pick Marques up. While she was there, she answered all the questions that the police needed to ask her. After hearing what she had to say, plus the fact that the doctors told them that some of Jasmine’s wounds looked like they were self-inflicted, they let Marques go free. Samiya took Marques back to the hospital to get his Range. Just as she was about to drive off to go back home, her cell phone rang. When she looked at the caller id, she couldn’t believe who it was.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Hey Samiya. It’s me, Darnell. How u been doing?” he asked politely.
“I’m fine and u?”
“I would be better if I was with u,” he stated boldly.
“What are u talking about?”
“Samiya, I been thinking a lot lately. I miss u. I miss what we had together. I want u back in my life.”
“I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Darnell, we haven’t talked in almost five months. Now u claim u want me back?”
“I need u back. I know I did u wrong and I’m sorry. But it won’t happen again, I promise.”
“Darnell, we can’t get back together. I have a boyfriend.”
“So. He can’t love u like I did. Plus u pregnant with my kid, right?”
“Oh now it’s your kid. At first u didn’t wanna have nothing to do with me or MY kid.”
“I know and I was wrong for that too. But now I realize how much I need u in my life. We could have the perfect family, Samiya. Just u, our baby, and me. Speaking of which, are we having a boy or a girl?”
“If u hadn’t kicked me to the curb, u would know that I’M having a girl.”
“So this dude u with is cool with u having another man’s baby?”
“Yes he is. He is very understanding, sensitive, and supportive.”
“He sound gay.”
“Oh trust me, baby. He is far from gay.”
“U slept with him?”
“Why is that any of your business?”
“Cuz that’s my kid he poking.”
“Why are u all of a sudden so concerned about this baby?”
“Because it’s MY baby, Samiya. U not gonna deny me the privilege of being in her life are u?”
“As much as I don’t like u, no. I wouldn’t do that to u. I wanted u to be in her life from the beginning. But u wouldn’t even claim her.”
“Man, lets not go through that again. I said I was wrong and I apologized. What more can I do?”
“U can do what u say u gonna do and don’t back out half way through. If u gonna be apart of our child’s life, be there all the time and not just when it’s convenient for u. The last thing I want is for her to get attached to u, then u drop her like u did me.”
“Who said I was gonna do that?”
“I’m just saying cuz I know how u are. But I’m willing to give u chance if u cooperate.”
“I’ll cooperate if u be nice to me.”
“Don’t start playing.”
“Aight. When can I come by to see u?”
“I don’t know but whenever it is, u gonna have to meet my boyfriend. I don’t want no tension between yall.”
“Aw damn. Why I gotta meet that n!gga?”
“Cuz I said so. Now u gonna cooperate or what?”
“Aight whatever.”
“Good. I’ll call u tomorrow and we can talk about when u can come by. Cool?”
“Cool. Bye Sexy.”
“…Bye Darnell,” she said rolling her eyes.

“Girl are u serious?” LaShonda asked. Samiya had called her and told her about the conversation with Darnell. Samiya wasn’t looking forward to telling Marques about it. She was afraid of his reaction, especially after what he just went through with Jasmine. So she needed some moral support and advice from her best friend first.
“Yes, I’m serious. He surprised me too. And the weirdest part is that he sounded like he actually means it,” Samiya replied.
“Well, don’t get your hopes up too soon. U know how he is. This might just be a front to get back with u. Or even just to break u and Marq up.”
“But I don’t wanna get back with him. I want Marq. …LaShonda, I gotta tell u something, but u can’t laugh and u can’t tell Marq.”
“Ooh girl what is it?”
“…I think I’m falling in love with Marq.”
“Awwwwwwwww. That’s sooooo sweet. Samiya finally falling in love.”
“Girl, stop playing. I’m serious.”
“Okay fa real. U prolly just in love with how he put it on u in the bed. I know he better than Darnell was.”
“Naw cuz we haven’t had sex yet.”
“What!? Fine as he is and u ain’t let him hit yet? What the hell yall waiting on?”
“We almost did last night but we got interrupted with this Jasmine sh!t. But I mean its not like I don’t want to. Lord knows I want to. Girl when he took his clothes off, I thought I was gonna die.”
“Ooh he that fine?”
“U just don’t know. But anyway, I’m getting hot. Lets get back to Darnell.”
“Samiya u a trip,” LaShonda said giggling. But check this out. Let me hit u back later on cuz I gotta go see my boo. U know the deal.”
“Aight then pimp. I’ll holla at ya later.”
“Aight bye.”
“Bye.”
