Over Him... (Sort Of)

JADA POV

"Damn I've been trying to call you for the past damn week. Paula had went by your place to check up on you. And you're not there. Shit, I near damn almost sent out a missing persons report on you" chasity said.

"No need to be overly dramatic. I'm fine" I said.

"Where the hell have you been?" She asked.

"Just been playing sleep over with Chris" I said.

"Oh hell nah. I been worrying about you and this whole time you was playing house with you baby daddy?!" She asked.

"Look are you alone?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm home, why?" She asked.

"I'm coming over real quick" I said. Not waiting for her response I sped over there. Plus, I had to make sure Paula wasn't around either. Twenty five minutes later I pulled up to her place. Walking inside she side eyed me "Uh Huh". Taking a seat on her couch "so?".

"Paula's brother came by my place last week. Apparently to apologize how he's been coming onto me. I went off on both Paula and him. But yeah... Chris didn't like that since he was there from spending the night. Don't even go there with that. We didn't hook up. It was just us being us" I said.

"Wow Paula is now going crazy" she said.

I nodded "exactly".

"But I mean she's always been fond of you. More than normal" she said.

"Not you too! Chris said the same thing" I said.

Chasity smiled "it's obvious if he noticed. The only person who was in the dark was you".

"So you're saying Paula likes me?" I asked.

Chasity nodded "yup".

Facepalming myself "lord, why?".

"I mean this has been going on for years. Remember that party where we went that night. And we all took a group pic. She posed with her hand on your ass. Yeah... she's been frontal about you" she said.

Shaking my head "Chris was right. I told him he was crazy for even thinking that".

"Now I don't know why she's pushing her brother on you. She's the one who likes you. Something is behind it for her" she said.

"Anyway so Chris didn't feel that me being alone was safe. Who knows what Paula and her brother is plotting..." I said.

"I bet Chris would suggest that you spend time at his home for a while" she said.

"Trust me I fought against the idea.. I even stalled against staying with him. But he caught on..." I said.

"Well I can't be too mad. As long as he's keeping you and my Aubree safe" she smiled.

"There's no Aubree... that was so many names ago" I said.

"What's the new name?" She asked.

"I'm not telling. You'll see when she makes her debut" I said.

"Didn't I say sorry for telling your dad about the it's name?. He asked and I told" she said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... but I rather from here on out to keep anything about her to myself" I said. She shrugged "well you look good though. Let me find out Chris is keeping you glowing".

"Nah he's not. We are just civil" I said.

"Well as long as you're alive then I'm okay" she said.

"Oh and do not tell Paula where I am.." I said.

"She'll find out herself. But I won't say anything" she smiled. We hugged one another "I'll call you within the week".

CHRIS POV

Hearing the front door open and close. I peaked to see it was Jada. A smile crept on my face "hey". She smiled back "hey". Watching her place her bag on the table "where were you?".

"I went to see chasity before she sent the cops to do a wellness check" she said.

"So I'm guessing you forgot to alert someone you would be staying here..." I said.

"I guess I did. But I explained to her all that happened so she figures as long as you are protecting me and the baby. She's fine with it" she said.

She walked into the kitchen and smiled at me "you got food for me?". I nodded "of course. Making sure you are eating".

"How'd you know I wanted Wendy's?" She asked.

"Because you never ever turn down Wendy's. This is lunch anyway" I said. She was digging into the food "I know, I'll be cooking later. All this eating out isn't good for either of us. And I don't need to be bigger after this baby drops".

"You sound like the baby is a mixtape and it'll be dropping this fall" I joked. She turned to me and smiled "you know what I meant". I didn't say much all I did was stare at her. She was enjoying the food more than anything.

"Can you stop looking at me?" She asked.

"I like watching you eat" I said.

"Weirdo" she mumbled.

"Oh by the way.... I noticed you rather sleep in the guest room. But I don't know why you refuse to share a bed with me. You've done it many times before and we do that at your place" I said.

She shrugged "I feel like sleeping with you in your bed is... I don't know... your bed isn't clean".

"Meaning...." I said.

"One word... Brooke" she said.

How many times I've told her brooke hasn't been around in weeks.
