That Unforgettable Moment

Chapter Nineteen

DJ

I just pulled up in front of my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I took a deep breath and got out of my car.

All I can think about is Aaliyah and the outcome of when she'll tell mom and dad about the baby. All I know is that it will be an intense conversation. 

I took out the key to my parents house and unlocked the door. As I got in, I was greeted by the aroma of the food. Man, it was smelling good in this b***h. 

I closed the door, locked it, and headed my way to the kitchen. I see Aaliyah, Jasmine, my mother Yvette, and my Aunt Louwanna are preparing the food.

"Hey y'all!" I hugged Aaliyah and kissed my mom on the cheek. "Ohhh, It's smelling good up in here!" I attempted to check what is in one of the boiling pots, but my mother slapped my hand away that led me to rapidly drop the lid. "Ouch, mama damn!" I shook my hand in mid air to make the pain go away.

"You know better than to go into my s**t while I'm cooking Deshawn Jr!" She then popped me on the back of my neck as well. Damn this woman can hit! "And what did I tell you about cursing in my house?!" I rubbed the back of my neck to ease the pain.

"But mama? You just cursed as well, and on top of that; damn is in the Bible too you know?"

"You know what son." She huffed and then turned her attention back to me. "Read the Bible before you can quote it! Until then, shut your ass up and go wash up for dinner!" She commanded me.

"Actually mom, can me and DJ talk to you right now? I need to tell you and dad something." Aaliyah spoke and that stopped me in my tracks. 

"Aaliyah, whatever you have to say can wait after dinner. Right now, I need you to take these greens and set in on the table." My mother handed her the dish. "DJ, go wash up and let everyone know that dinner is ready." She instructed me. I obeyed and headed to the upstairs bathroom to wash up because the downstairs one is occupied. 

I got in the bathroom and turned the sink on to wash my hands. While I was washing, I heard the door closed and locked behind me. I looked in the mirror and saw Elena's reflection. I guess it's time to put on this little act.

I looked up in the mirror and smirked at her as she was approaching me. She caressed my back and started snaking her hands to my chest. I can feel her growing stomach poking my back.

"DJ, I am so sorry for what I did. I missed you so much!" She confronted me. I turned around and wrapped my arms as much as I could around her waist. I smirked and leaned into the nape of her neck.

"How much do you miss me?" I grumbled within her neck. I licked on a spot and tugged on her skin with my teeth.

"More than you know!" She moaned in my ear. 

"Mhm, really?" I licked my lips and gazed at her.

"Yes, really!" I moved to the other side of her neck and performed the same thing as I did before.

"Tell me how much you miss me then." I told her in my husky seductive voice as I was kissing her neck to across her chest.

"I missed your touch, your kisses, and I missed you loving me. I missed your love DJ and I was so wrong for breaking your heart like that. I just want us to start again." We glared at each other. I was staring into her beautiful hazel brown eyes. That's one of the things I missed. As we were glaring, she bit her lip and moved her hands down to my waist band and started tugging on it.

"Wait, wait, girl hold on!" I stopped her before things can go any further. 

"No DJ!! I can't hold on! I've been missing you like crazy. I can't wait, I want you now. Right here! Right now!" She begged me. I mentally rolled my eyes. I'm not going to be f*****g her while she's pregnant. And I'm with Sabrina, so that is just disrespectful. Hell, it's bad enough that I was grabbing on her and sucking on her neck.

"And I'm going to give it to you." I lied to her as I kissed her on her cheek. "But after dinner though."

"But DJ..." she whined but I cut her off.

"After dinner!" I soothed her, "besides, I'm going to need some energy when I give you this work, right?" I smirked at her. She blushed at me and nodded her head and said "okay." I winked at her and walked out of the bathroom and headed downstairs.

"Man, she is so damn stupid." I thought to myself and chuckled. I made my way downstairs to the den to let the guys know that the food is ready. They were watching the football game. Too bad I missed it.

We all went to the table to take our seats. I sat between Aaliyah and Aunt Louwanna, as she was sitting next to Uncle Money. Elena sat next to Rayshawn but across from me. Jasmine sat right beside Rayshawn. And mom and dad was sitting at the two ends of the table.

"Okay, everyone let's bow our heads. I'll say grace." My mother obliged. We all bowed our heads as my mother started to bless over the food.

"Father God in the name of Jesus..." she started off.

During the prayer, I leaned over to Aaliyah's side, "So, when are going to tell them?" I inquired her.

"I guess I'll tell them after we're done eating since she cut me off before." She whispered back. I nodded my head in agreement and continued to bow my head as my mother was finishing up her prayer.

"...in Jesus name we pray. Amen."

"Amen." All of us said in unison. We all passed the food around and enjoyed our meals. While eating, Elena was playing footsies with me this whole time. I looked up from my plate and she bit her lip. I didn't pay it no mind and just smirked at her as I continued on eating.

As of course, Aaliyah was scarfing down her whole plate and is already fixing herself a second portion of food. I feel like my niece or nephew will be one greedy ass child. 

"Jesus honey! Slow down or you won't have room for dessert." My mom warned her. 

"Oh I believe she is eating just enough." Elena said while she smirked and s**t. "Ain't that right, Aaliyah?" She retorted with an unapologetic grin on her face. Aaliyah chocked on her food a bit. I lightly patted her on the back to help her out. 

"You alright baby girl?" My dad asked her. 

"I'm fine dad." She cleared her throat.

"She won't be looking fine within a few months. Won't you Aaliyah?" Elena smirked as she took a bite of turkey. I see she's acting real bold today. Aaliyah shot daggers in her eyes at Elena and so did I. She immediately gotten quiet and took a sip of her water. 

"Sweetheart, are you sure you're okay?" My mother placed the back of her hand onto Aaliyah's forehead.

"I'm fine mom." Aaliyah moved her head away. Elena chuckled and continued to eat her food. I don't hit women, but Elena makes me want to smack her so damn bad right now. She is attempting to tell my parents about Aaliyah's situation when she knows damn well that it is not her place to tell.

I don't know what has gotten into her? She wasn't like this at all before. She used to be a good wholesome girl, but now she's acting worse than my cousin Jasmine.

"Are you sure baby? You don't feel too warm." My mom stated out.

"I'll be fine mom, but like I said earlier, there is something I need to tell you and dad after dinner though." I could tell that she is petrified on breaking the news to our parents.

"Why can't you tell them now though?" Elena blurted out.

"Why can't you shut up and stay out of my business?" Aaliyah shot back.

"Okay that's enough ladies." My mother tried to calm them, but they're not listening to her. 

"Cause I'm cranky as hell and I didn't get what I want!" Elena replied back.

"And you'll get it later!" I gritted at her, "so why don't you shut your hormonal ass up!"

"Yo man, don't be disrespecting my baby's mom like that nigga!" Rayshawn spoke up to me. I know this nigga is not trying to defend her trifling ass right now.

"Man shut up!! Your b***h started it!!!" I snapped back.

"Okay fellas, lets all settle down!" My dad tried to calm us down but we didn't listen. 

"Nah-Nah-Nah I shutting nothing up! You disrespecting my baby's mother and I ain't too cool with that! You want to say that to my face my nigga then go ahead. I want you too!" He shot up from his seat.

"Man, I advise you to sit your punk ass down somewhere." I said unamused with this. "Like I told your ass, I'm not trying to get into it, I'm not trying to f**k up my parents house..."

"You doing all that s**t talking, why don't your ass do something nigga!" He challenged me. "I want you too b***h!"

"Nigga, I am not in the mood to..." I got cut off when he threw his whole f*****g plate at me. I paused as I looked down at my attire. I got gravy stains, cranberry sauce, turkey and dressing, along with other s**t falling down my shirt and pants. Some of his food even made his way to my new shoes. I'm heated as f**k right now.

"Yeah, and your ass just sitting there and ain't doing sh..." I immediately cut him off by jumping across the f*****g table and beating the living s**t out of his face.

"Nigga I'mma f*****g kill you!!" I shouted as I threw punches at him from left to right. "You were trying to get at my girl earlier... calling me a bitch... throwing food at me and shit... Well, I'm throwing blows at you face nigga!! So who's that b***h now!? WHO'S THE f*****g b***h NOW?!?!?!?!" I boomed at him.

We tumbled and rolled all around the dining area. Like before, he tried to choke me and throw a few punches here and there. But as always, I had the most upper strength. Just like old times, my dad and Uncle Money was trying to get me off of him as they did before. 

"COME ON JUNIOR GET OFF OF HIM!!!!" My dad tried to persuade me as he was pulling me off. Well, lucky for them I was done with his ass. I had some bruises on my knuckles, but I'll take care of it later.

"Oh and by the way, while you were watching the f*****g game, your baby mama was all up on me in the damn bathroom before all this." I spilled out. "She's the one that wants me back but can't have me back!"

"Nigga you just mad that she chose up and I knocked her up!" He shouted while holding his lip as it was bleeding.

"No, not really." I said in a nonchalant tone. "Elena, tell this i***t! Tell him that you came in the bathroom, locked the door, and was all up on a nigga. Explain that to your dumbass baby daddy."

Elena stood there dumbfounded. I don't know why she silent all of a sudden, she the one that started all this s**t.

"Elena?!" Rayshawn barked her name trying to get some answers out of her. She stared at me with a mean mug expression. I frankly don't give a s**t what her reaction is. She can be mad at me all she wants to, because I don't love her anymore.

"Yeah, it's true. We were in the bathroom, unfortunately, he didn't give in to what I wanted from him." Elena confessed. Rayshawn was sucking his teeth.

"Elena, if you wanted some d**k why didn't you come to me? I would have gave it to you."

"Because Rayshawn, you can't do it like DJ can!" She retorted. "You see Rayshawn, me and DJ may have been each others first time, but he puts it down way better than you ever did. All you were was just a hump and bump. Plus on top of that, I was sick of you cheating on me. So in return, I cheated on you too." She spilled out. "In fact, I cheated on you multiple times!"

Jasmine and Aunt Louwanna gasped when she confessed the last part. It's like I don't even know her what so ever.

"Well, is the baby even mine then? Since you saying you cheating on me!" Rayshawn asked her. Elena thought for a moment until she said her answer.

"To be honest with you, I don't even know." She shrugged. "It's either between you or Joseph." Rayshawn paused for a minute until he started back up again. "You mean my boy Joseph? MY BESTFRIEND?!?!"

"Yep," she nodded her head. "Your bestfriend, but since we're spilling secrets here, I'm not the only one who is having a baby and don't know who the father is." Elena turned her attention to Aaliyah and everyone followed suit. "Ain't that right, Aaliyah?"

I can tell through Aaliyah's eyes that it is filled with rage. She had the same look as me when someone pushes the wrong buttons. What Elena did crossed the boarder line, and Aaliyah is ready to charge at her like a bull when it sees a red cape.

"YOU HOES ASS b***h!!!!" She tried to get at her but I held her back. "IF DJ WANS'T HOLDING ME BACK I WOULD HAVE f****d YOU UP SO BAD, YOU'D BE IN PREMATURE LABOR!!!!" She boomed. 

"Oh please, like your weak ass would do something." Elena chortled at her Aaliyah's antics.  

"I got your weak ass!! I'mma f**k you up as soon as our babies are born!! Cause you got the wrong one b***h. YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE SLUT!!"

"YOU THE SLUT TOO IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE f*****g FATHER IS b***h!!" Elena bellowed.

"CORRECTION!! I DO KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS!!! GET YOUR DAMN FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU INSTIGATE! YOU DUMB f**k!!!" I held Aaliyah back as her and Elena were arguing. 

"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" My mom slammed her fist against the table as her voice boomed through the house. Everything went silent after that.

"Money, I think it's time for you and your bunch to go." My mom gestured calmly, "cause it seems to me that we have our own family matters to attend to." My mom turned her attention to Aaliyah. She glanced upon our mother and looked down at her feet. My poor sister looking so ashamed. 

"I feel the same way Evie." My uncle said. That's my mom's nickname from her siblings.

"Come on y'all lets go!" My uncle said to his family. "Boy, didn't I tell you not to bring that girl here?" My uncle said as they were walking away and gathering their stuff.

Me and Aaliyah went to the living room and sat on the coach in silence. We waited for an hour or so for them to leave. Mom and Dad told them their goodbyes and locked the door behind them. I looked over at Aaliyah and she looked like she is about to burst into tears. I put my arms around her, held her close, and told her: "I'm here for you, Liyah."
