"Damn forreal? " Micheal asked. Khalil just finished telling Micheal about Jayla being pregnant but not knowing who the father is and about her finding out about the bet.

"Yea man, s**t crazy. I just hope that baby mine man." Khalil said putting his pills back in the bottle.

"You want a kid?"

"Naw not at first but when Jay said I might be the dad, I did" he said. "But I don't want no kid when the mother and I ain't together"

"What you mean?"

"I'm gonna get Jayla to be mine" Khalil said shrugging like it was something simple. Micheal took a long drag of the blunt.

"Nigga is it the weed or you just out your damn mind?"Khalil chuckled.

"Nah I'm dead ass. I want her to be my girl. I admit I f****d up but everyone make mistakes. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back. She can be mine willingly or forcefully" Micheal stopped smoking and stared at Khalil. "I'm fuckin with you man" Khalil said laughing.

"Iight cause I was about to say you one crazy ass nigga" Micheal and Khalil laughed again. But Micheal didn't know just how serious Khalil was.

Next day

Well what if I told you that I had a confession

What if I said 4 years ago when we were arguing he came to comfort me and I wound up pregnant

And I just can't say for sure if the baby's yours

What if I confessed it and it turns out not to be your baby after you get tested

And it destroys what we've been blessed with

What if I suppress it 'cause technically you're the baby's daddy anyway

Is it wrong for me to want you to stay

Would you rather have me tear you away

From the only family you know

Or is this just too big a secret to keep it on the low

Hypothetically of course

Are there some things better left unsaid Or would you wanna know instead

Hypothetically of course

Are there some wars not worth fighting

Some tears not worth crying

Hypothetically of course

What if this happened to you

what would you want me to do

"Morning Ky" Jayla said walking into the kitchen. Kidd was making breakfast for Jayla. He told himself he'll put more of an effort up so show how sorry he is for what he did.

He faced Jayla and smiled, causing her to smile. "Morning Jay" He picked her up and set her on the counter. He pecked her lips and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Kidd just stared at her, taking in her beauty "What?" she asked.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" he asked.

"Yes baby, all the time" she answered smiling.

"Did I tell you today?"

"Today just started"

"I'll take that as a no. You're the most beautifulist women I've ever met"

Jayla laughed "Beautifulist?" she asked, laughing at his bad grammar. He nodded.

"Your eyes are the prettiest brown ever, you have the cutest nose and a smile that could light up any room. I'm proud to call you my girl Jayla and I'll be even more proud when I can call you my wife"

Jayla's eyes got wide "Wife? You want to marry me?"

"Of course. And I want to have two more babies, including this little pumpkin head" he said rubbing her belly.

"Pumpkin head? " he nodded.

"Your head is pretty big" he said laughing. Jayla laughed and pushed him.

"Your food is burning babe" Kidd cursed and quickly turned off the stove and ran the pan under water. "Maybe we should just have cereal" she said chuckling.

Kidd glared at her "Maybe you're right" he agreed. He finished eating and washed his plate. "I'll see you later baby, I have to go in today. Call me if you need anything"

Jayla kissed Kidd on the lips "Can I invite Khalil over to talk about if this his baby?"

"I guess but if he touch you, I'm killing him" he said truthfully.

"I'll call you to let you know how it goes" Kidd nodded and pulled Jayla into a passionate kiss. "I love you" she said pulling away.

"I love you more" he said before walking out to his car and driving to the trap. Jayla showered and got dressed in a tank top and jeans before inviting Khalil over.

A knock was heard at the door. Jayla opened it and Khalil stood there with a smirk on his face that left Jayla feeling a little uneasy.

She stepped aside and he walked in. They sat on the couch. "So I called to talk about the baby" Jayla started. Khalil nodded "What we gonna do if the baby is yours?"

"Easy, you leave Kidd and be with me" he said shrugging. Jayla tilted her head and scrunched up her face.

"Huh?"

"You heard me. We can raise the baby as a real family Jayla. I know that's what we both want. I know that's what you want"

Jayla chuckled "Oh yea? Tell me what else I want"

Khalil scooted closer to Jayla, she scooted away "I know you want me as much as I want you. I know you still love me" Khalil leaned in and tried to kiss Jayla but she got off the couch.

"Or nah. I don't want you anymore and don't love you. As I friend, I love you but anything more is a no. When the baby is born, I don't want no child support. Just spend time with your child and I'm good"

"You don't love me? " he asked, ignoring everything she said after that.

"Nigga didn't you just hear what I said? I said as a friend yes, anything else, no" Khalil nodded.

He slowly got off the couch and walked past Jayla. He stopped before leaving and quickly turned around, slapping Jayla to the floor. He grabbed her phone, and smashed it against the ground next to her.

Jayla grabbed her face and got off the floor, running upstairs. But Khalil grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall. He put his hand around her neck and started choking her, then punched her. That brought back memories from when Kidd did the same thing.

"Listen Jay, I've been trying to be nice about this. But you wanna be a dumb b***h and play hard to get. I know you want me" he licked her ear. "I want you too" he said looking at Jayla with anger and lust in his eyes.

He dragged her upstairs to her room and climbed on top of her. He began ripping off her clothes "Khalil stop. Get off me" she yelled, pushing him off. He pinned her arms above her head and looked down at her. "What happen to you?" she asked.

"Nothing ma, I've always been like this." He said biting his lips. "I take these pills to help relax me but haven't taken them for maybe..well ever since I've met you" he shrugged. "When I was a teen, I was sent off to a mental institution. But... they said nothing was wrong with me" he smirked at her "What do you think? " he asked.

"I think you a crazy motherfucker" she spat. Khalil instantly began furious and slapped Jayla again making her lip and nose bleed.

Since her shirt was already ripped up, he moved to the jeans. Jayla kicked and screamed but Khalil just ignored her. Once the pants were off, he ripped up her panties and climbed between her legs.

"Open up" he laughed darkly. He shoved himself into Jayla, not caring about her plead him to stop.

Once he finished, he rolled off her and cuddled up next to her falling into a heavy sleep. Jayla laid there, wide awake. Tears falling from her eyes.

After about 20 minutes of Khalil sleeping, she slowly removed his arm and climbed out of bed. She threw on some clothes before running downstairs and out the front door. It was sunset, maybe 6:30.

She ran straight to Kidds trap house, not caring who saw what she had on. She heard a few whistles and niggas trying to holla but she kept running.
