SECRETS CH.2

Chapter 2

Renee

I heard everything my mom and sister had to say. I wanted to tell my mother everything right then, but I must be patient. As I walked down the stairs, their little conversation stopped.

"Hey Renee, what you been up to?" This fake bitch had the nerve to speak to me.

"And you are speaking to me why?"

"Renee, dont you start no shit. All the girl did was speak to you." My mother was always taking up for her.

"Thats the problem. I dont want her saying anything to me."

Denasia walks out of the kitchen and goes upstairs to her room. As soon as she is gone my mom starts getting on my case.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why cant you at least be cordial to your sister?"

"Ma, I dont have time for this, I have somewhere to go."

"Where are you going Renee?"

"Im going to the library to study and get good grades just like Denasia"

And with that being said, I grabbed my purse from the couch and walk out the door. My ride was waiting for me around the corner because I couldnt risk getting caught by my nosy ass mama. Just as I expected, dumb ass Michael was waiting for me in his car.

"Hey Mike." I said as I got in and put on my seatbelt.

Starting up his engine he responded,"Nothing much." I could tell from his tone that he didnt want to bother with me but he didnt have a choice since I was pregnant with his quote un quote baby.

"What did you want to talk about Renee?"

"Well I wanted to let you know that I have a doctors appointment on Monday and I wanted to see if you would come."

"Yeah about that, cant you get an abortion or something. I would be more than happy to pay for it."

I had been waiting on him to ask me about an abortion and he couldnt have asked at a more perfect time. Michael doesnt know that Im not pregnant because he has no common sense. We've never even kiss let alone had sex, but like the genius that I am I got him drunk one night while he was at my house waiting for that tramp Denasia. I made sure he got drunk past comprehension and the next morning I gave him this sob as story about how we had sex and I didnt want to hurt my sister. Of course he believed me.

"Mike, I dont know. Abortions are really expensive and I dont think that you could afford it."

"How much is it?"

Jackpot "Oh about 3,000 dollars and thats if you are in the first trimester. Im in my second."

"Damn thats alot of money."

"I know."

"But if i get the money together, you will have an abortion right?"

"Of course I dont want to tear my family apart over this. When do you think you will have the money?"

"Probably next week, so go ahead and make the appointment."

"Okay Mike."

Halle Berry and Jennifer Hudson aint got shit on me.

Beverly

I dont know what is wrong with my daughters. I dont understand why they cant get along. Denasia thinks that I pay more attention to Renee because she is the youngest and Renee thinks that I show favoritism towards Denasia because she is the smartest. Just as I was figuring out a way to get them to get along, my doorbell rings. As I open the door, I see that it is my fiance Darren's nosy ass neighbor, Ms. Sally.

"Hey Ms. Sally, what brings you by here?" I hesitantly invite her into my home.

"Girl I came by to see if you needed any help with the wedding."

I knew she was lying because I have been preparing for this wedding for damn near 8 months and she has never offered to help with the preparations.

"Well there isnt anything to be done that I havent already completed."

"Oh, well I also came by to see if we can have a little chit chat."

"Okay here take a seat and tell me what is it that you want to talk about."

"Well you know that Im not one to gossip but I figured that you should know this."

"What is it?"

"Well the other night while I was looking for my dog outside, I seen this big fancy car pull up into Darren's driveway. I didnt think nothing of it at first because I figured it was one of his male friends, but then some little young ass girl steps out of the car with some of the shortest shorts that I have ever seen. Again I didnt think nothing of it because it could have easily been one of his nieces or cousins or whatever. When Darren stepped outside, this little hussy had the nerves to start kissing on your man and it didnt look like he was fighting back. Now I dont want to get all in your business but what you gon do about that."

I couldnt even speak. My throat had all of a sudden become dry and I had become mute. Thats when Denasia walked down the stairs.

"Ma, whats wrong? You look like somebody just told you that you lost your best friend. Oh excuse my manners-hi Im Denasia her daughter."

"How are you young lady? I knew your mother had children but I have never met any of yall before."

"Well its a pleasure meeting you. Ma, are you okay?"

Snapping back into reality I said, "Yeah, yeah Im okay Ms. Sally was just leaving."

"No I wasnt, I was waiting for your response."

"Not now Ms. Sally lets talk as I walk you to your car."

"Okay I guess."

I escort Ms. Sally out of my house and walk her to her car.

"We outside now, so what are you going to do about Darren."

Before I could tell Ms. Sally that she needs to mind her business and stay out of mine, Renee comes walking down the street.

"Hey Ma."

Ms. Sally gets this dumbfounded look on her face and says,"Oh my God! Thats the little hussy I was talking about!"
