What if i love you by brea isomee (books to read to get smarter .TXT) 📖

It's been four long years since i've seen boys straight from the hood . Now , some of Damon's friends that go to our school are from the hood but they've been living in the suburbs for years like us so they don't count .

" excuse me , can i sit down ?"

I'd gotten so wrapped in my own thoughts i hadn't even noticed the light skinned one of the group standing in front of me , smiling down at me .

" uh , sure ."

He took the seat across from me not stopping the smile spreading across his face " i'm Maceo ."

" and i'm pregnant . " it slipped out , i swear . As soon as i heard the words exit my mouth i began to regret them . I just have to ruin everything don't i ! A hot boy wants to talk to me and i'm pregnant , yay me .

He laughed " and i didn't finish high school ."

" sowhat ."

"Exactly . I thought we were stating shit that we hoped the other would look past ."

I gave a light smile " you can't look past a baby ."

" i've always wanted a child . So like i said , i'm Maceo ."

" i'm Destiny ."

" Destiny as in , your Destiny is to be with me ."

I smiled again , i can't help it . He's so darn cute looking at me so caring and lovingly like he really knows me , but he doesn't . All he knows is that i'm cute . . . and pregnant . Those two things don't even make up half of who i am .

" i hope you're as sweet as the things you say ."

" i'm very Sweet , ma' . So , where i yo' man at ?"

" home ."

" oh , see , he slipping . I'ma mess around and take his girl ."

I raised my eyebrows slightly amused and flattered " you think you can ?"

" no , " he reached across the table and grabbed my hand " ma' , i know i can . If he was any type of a good boyfriend he'd be here with you but he's not which gives me all the right to try my luck ."

-Destiny-

" this is Tye and Sammy . "

I smile at both Tye and Sammy as Maceo introduces them to me . All 3 of them are cute really , the tattoos giving them a rugged look and the smile on their face giving them cross between dangerous and mischievously dangerous . It's cute but , it's not always a good thing .

" damn , ma' , you looking nice ," Sammy let the words slip from his lips looking me up and down as i sit in my chair uncomfortable .

Maceo shook his head twisting his face up " i don't think she likes that ."

" i'm just being honest . She look good enough to take home to moms ."

I saw Maceo getting ready to cuss him out so i stepped in " thanks , appreciate it , got to go ."

I stood up , grabbing my Frappe and wallet from the table and begin to head towards Damon's car with my stomach turning slightly , uh oh , i know that feeling . I bent over the curb in front of Damon's car to release the doughnut i'd damn near gobbled down a few minutes ago . I cough slightly as i stand up straight to see Maceo . Damn , was he following me . I didn't even see him walk in front of me seeing as how my head was so low trying to give my stomach relief .

" damn ," he said handing me Damon's car keys that must have forgotten " you left your car keys . You left without giving me your number too . "

I laughed and walked around him to get to the driver's door " i told you i'm pregnant ."

" and i told you i always wanted a child ."

" come on now . You look like your like 19 ."

" actually i'm 24 , and what's age got to do with it Because you don't even look like you've reached 18 yet ."

I sighed " i haven't . "

" okay then , what's the problem ."

" i , um , " gosh , i'm trying to think up something , i have a child he wants one . But he's just saying that because he thinks i'm cute of something . I don't know ! And plus i've got Damon . Deep down in my heart that's the only man i want but it doesn't hurt to have a friend , right ? No biggie . " fine ."

I put my number in his phone and he put his in mines and i got back into Damon's car , started it and pulled off . The whole way home i only have a few things on my mind : like Damon , he's definitely on my mind almost all the time in a day . 22 out of 24 hours in a day he's on my mind . But why . When did i get to the point where i fell in love with my own brother , and the point where i thought it was okay to fuck him and get pregnant with his child . Where the fuck is that okay ? And why the fuck in my mind am i trying to make myself feel guilty for something i feel almost no guilt about .

Speaking of Damon , this child that's in my belly is on my mind . A child , that more than likely will have a countless number of problems because of me and Damon doing what we're doing . I know we'll love the baby regardless but how can i explain to my child that i'm his or her mother and auntie . That's messed up .

And then this Maceo dude and his fine friend's . . . . i want to know their story . Well , Maceo's story at least . He's the one i'm interested in . No , wait , i can't be interested in him ! Nope , i'll just push him as far out of my mind as i can .

I put the car in park and begin to walk up to the front door but before i can unlock it the door swings open and i'm face to face with an angry - no , he's past angry - Damon .

-Damon-

Imagine how i felt waking up with my car keys gone and my car no where in sight . Plus my little sister is gone and she's carrying my baby . How do you think i felt .. . . . . . don't worry i'll wait . . . .. . . . i was fucking pissed ! That's how i felt . She could have been anywhere from point a to z and i wouldn't know where to start looking . My head was already banging from an extreme hangover and to add to that i began to worry about Destiny . Sometimes the only person she thinks about is Destiny . . . . but isn't that what i was doing last night when i went to that party . . . i was thinking about me and only me .

I heard my car pulling up in the driveway , i gave her a few seconds to walk up the driveway and to the door before swinging it open " where the fuck have you been ? ! You take my car and shit , what the fuck is your problem , Destiny ! Huh ? " i snatched my car keys from her and put them in my pocket as we just stared at each other . I swear my heart began to break in 2 pieces when she dropped her head to stare at the ground . I expected her to give me some smart ass remark or some shit like she usually does but instead she just gives me a look of sorrow .

I pulled her body close to mines like i've always ended up doing lately . She's not her self anymore . When she's feisty it's times 10 but when she's sad it's like she just lost a family member or something . I like her a little less loud than she usually is but this shit right here is just weird .

" wait right here ." I put her into the passenger side of the car . I jogged back into the house to brush my teeth , pull my dreads into a rubber band and to change into a fresh outfit . I grabbed my money and my new credit card from my night stand .

" where are we going ." Destiny asked as i pulled from the drive way.

" somewhere where if you cry you can't get it , okay babe ? Cheer up for me ."

She shook her head but remained silent for the rest of the ride , and when we pulled up outside of our destination a smile spread across her face " are you taking me to get my hair done ? "

I laughed as i went around to open her car door " no ."

" then why are we here ."

" don't worry about it . Can you just sit patiently and wait because , if you do that then i do have a surprise for you ."

She shrugged and we entered the beauty salon and she took a seat .

" i'm Damon , i've got an appointment with Keshia for 11:30 ."

The lady behind the desk smiled at me a little too big , showing all of the teeth in her mouth " yes , um , Keshia's in the back but if there's something i can get you please , " she winked at me " let me know ."

I can't help but smile " can i wait in her chair ?"

" sure ."

I sat down in her chair which is at the back of the room the furthest from Destiny so she can't see what's going on . Thank god there are 7 other chair on this side before you get to me . I started to relax myself and then i hear that familiar voice saying my name .

My head snaps into the direction it's coming from , the chair directly right of me , i'm surprised i didn't see her walking to the chair " yeah , was supp Jass ."

" nothing , trying to figure out why you played me ."

" i didn't play you girl , you played yourself . Yeah , i flirted with you and yeah you're a nice looking girl but , that's as far as me and you are gonna go . "

" you didn't say that shit at Jessie's party last night . You were all over me , and when i went to the bedroom you followed , so you must like me
