Who Do You Love?: Trapped in Love with a Thug

by Tatyana Jhane'

  “Well, what do you say baby?” he asked.

  “Yes! I will marry you, baby. I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend my life with you as well. Now open the damn box and put the ring on me!” I said.

  He laughed and shook his head no. Okay, now I was really confused as to what was going on but I decided that I was just going to go with the flow.

  He took out the biggest box first and just as I suspected, it was a Cartier Love Bracelet in yellow gold. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it is a bracelet that the person that you love screws together on your arm and you are supposed to keep it on forever. I always said that I wanted that from the person that I was going to marry.

  He screwed the bracelet on my arm and I was so in love with it! I never told him that it’s what I wanted and I know that Tanesha didn’t either, so it was good to know that he thought just like me. I wasn’t going anywhere.

  He opened up the second box and inside were two keys. One was a house key of some sort which was weird because hello, we were already living in a house. The second was car keys to a Range Rover which was also weird because I didn’t see one outside. I wasn’t thinking about that right now anyways. All I was focused on was the ring; I was ready to see what it looked like.

  “Baby, we’re about to go somewhere that I know you are going to like which is what these keys are for.” Of course he wanted to procrastinate. I couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted to see the damn ring and now!

  I took the box and he laughed. I opened it and the water works started again. It was a 5-carat white gold halo ring. The same one that I told Ace that I liked when we went shopping for Tanesha’s ring. These niggas were something else I tell you that.

  “Baby, I love it so much! You were planning this the whole time with Ace, huh?” I said.

  “I can neither confirm nor deny. Now let’s go to the next surprise,” he said laughing. I was wondering what the next surprise was and was not ready for what happened next.

  Brandon

  This day has literally been the best day of my life! My baby girl said that she would marry me but I was trying not to be a pussy nigga and cry. I couldn’t help but let a few tears fall down, though. This woman really meant a lot to me and I just kept having this feeling like I was going to lose her. That is one of the reasons why I wanted her to marry me so bad.

  I spent these last few months coming up with this Valentine’s Day surprise for her. We had only been together seven months but that already feels like forever, and who am I to stop forever?

  I love her so much and I am always so hard on myself when it comes to her because from the moment that I met her, I knew that I had to always protect her. I can be a real ruthless ass nigga, but with her I am nothing but a teddy bear. Every thug needs a lady though so I ain’t complaining.

  I knew that she was not ready for this next surprise. Hell, I knew that she was not ready for this next surprise. I just can’t believe that I had done it all by myself. As soon as I saw that we were getting close, I took off my tie and I wrapped it around her eyes as a blindfold so that she couldn’t see what was next.

  We pulled up and I parked the car. I went around to her side of the car and took off her seat belt and helped her out of the car. I took off her blindfold and she stared in shock. She looked at me with wide eyes as if she wanted to know if it was real. I nodded for her to go.

  She walked up the driveway to her brand new matte black Range Rover with a red bow on it, and opened the doors. I knew she was even more surprised at the rose gold interior. This cost so much money, but it was all worth it to see the look upon her face, but that wasn’t even the biggest part.

  “Whose house do you have this parked at and why baby?” she asked me and this is when I went in for the kill.

  “Baby, this is our new house. I had it built and furnished already for us. This is the house that we will move into after we get married. This is the house that we will spend the rest of our lives in,” I told her and once again she started crying.

  “Damn girl, this is the most I have seen you cry since we been together,” I said and I meant it. Hell, I didn’t know if it was a bad or a good thing. I just hoped that she was happy with her gifts. I went all out. This was the most that I have done for any girl that I have ever been with, but she was special and the one that I was planning on spending forever with.

  “Babe, I have a surprise for you too,” she said and I frowned. I told her I didn’t want anything but she never listens to me anyways. I don’t know why I thought today would be any different. I shook my head and she smiled.

  “What is it baby?” I asked her. She grabbed my hand and walked me inside the new house and now it was my turn to look in shock. What the hell was this girl up to? Once we got into the house, she put on the song by Ciara “Body Party”. She sat me on the loveseat and then started slowly taking off her clothes. I sat back and watched my new fiancée give me a show.

  I was surprised when instead of dancing when she was down to her bra and panties, she stood me up and stripped me down to my boxers then pushed me back onto the loveseat. What is this girl doing? I thought to myself.

  She starting winding her hips to the music and my dick immediately got hard. My baby was giving a good show. She slowly walked over to me and kissed me hard and good, and got on my lap. She grabbed the back of my neck for support and started grinding back and forth on my dick and it popped out of my boxers. She knew exactly what she was doing to me.

  To my surprise, she had on them panties that the porn stars wear with the hole where the dick goes inside. In one swift motion, she grinded her way right on to my dick. She started riding up and down on my dick and it was on from there. I picked her up with my dick still inside, and made her get on all fours.

  I had her on all fours giving her all of my dick all at once. She was taking it like a pro too, and I know she was loving it because she was calling my name so loud the neighbors were going to know my name before we even moved in. I had her nutting all on my dick before I was nutting with her.

  Damn I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with this woman.

  Chapter 13

  Tanesha

  “Baby, wake up. We’re here,” Ace said to me waking me up from what felt like a long nap. Where the fuck did we fly to that feels like forever? I feel like I have been sleep for at least 10 hours. All I remember was sucking the shit out of his dick and him licking the shit out of my pussy, and we were out like a lamp.

  “Where are we, baby?” I asked. I’m sick of the surprising shit. He answered me by placing a blindfold over my eyes. “I am sick of the damn surprises, Marcus!” I said to him, calling him by his government name so that he knows I’m serious with his ass.

  “Oh, you’re serious, huh, Tanesha Julianne Farron?” he said, also calling me by my government name. I could only laugh and enjoy the ride. I was so damn anxious and tired of the games. He held my hand to keep my nerves down. I had a feeling that I was about to go through a life changing experience.

  We rode for what seemed like 20 minutes and once the car finally came to a stop, the butterflies returned to my stomach. He opened the door for me and took my hand to pull me out of the car. When he took off my blindfold, the waterworks started.

  “Baby wha… How did yo…?” I was so speechless I couldn’t even get any words out. In front of me stood the Eiffel Tower. This nigga brought me to Paris and I didn’t even know! I didn’t even have a passport, or so I thought. I don’t know how he did this but I swear this is the best Valentine’s Day gift I have ever received.

  “I love you, baby!” Ace said as he handed me a bouquet of flowers. Where the hell did those flowers even come from? I started to ask, but I was cut off by him yelling to the people out there with us. Do these people even speak English? I thought to myself as well.

  “Can I have everyone’s attention please?” he started off saying.

  “Baby, what the fuck are you doing?” I asked. Then it happened. He
bent down on one knee as everyone looked on smiling and cheering.

  “Oh my God, baby! Are you serious?” I said covering my mouth. This is the moment that I was waiting on my whole life and now the moment has finally come, and to a man that I haven’t known for a very long time. We only been together a small 7 months, but I guess the saying that someone you know for two minutes can have better intentions for you than someone that you have known for two years is right.

  “Baby, I know that we haven’t been together long bu—” he started off by saying, before I cut him off.

  “YES! YES, BABY! YES, I WILL MARRY YOU!” I screamed. I already knew how he felt about me, so there was no need for all the other words. I was so excited he put the ring on my finger and then everyone around started clapping and cheering for us.

  The ring was so damn beautiful. It was a 6-carat rose gold princess cut diamond ring. It was gorgeous! I could not wait to show Mo! I was so happy. I pulled him up to me and gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever. So far this is a good Valentine’s Day; my first in a long time.

  We walked back to the car and once the driver pulled off, I was all over him. I was really horny these last few days. “Baby, we can save that for later but first we have to go to the hotel and get changed. We’re only here for today and tomorrow then we have to get back because I have business to handle,” he told me.

  When we got to the hotel once again, I was blown away. We were staying at the Hotel Marquis and it was so pretty.

  “Baby, go in the bathroom. There is a gift for you,” Ace said when we walked in the building. I ran to the bathroom to go see what exactly he was talking about. I saw a long box with a red bow on it. When I got closer I realized what it was, but what I didn’t understand was why he bought this for me.

  “Umm Ace, why did you buy me a pregnancy test, I’m not pregnant?” I said. I was not pregnant, at least I don’t think so. I mean yeah, I was sick lately and I have been gaining some weight. We never use condoms either but come on, me being pregnant… really?

  “Take it and then we will know for sure,” he said.

  “I’m already sure, but if I need to prove this to you then okay, I will. I will be back,” I said.

  Could I be pregnant? I do hear stories of women who never even know that they are pregnant until they have their child. That couldn’t be me though, I knew my body. Well, at least I thought I knew my body.

  I went to the toilet and took out one of the tests. Surprisingly, I had to pee. Well that wasn’t a surprise. I had been peeing like crazy lately. Maybe I am pregnant? I set the test on the counter and waited the three minutes. That was the longest three minutes of my life.

  Once my timer on my phone went off, I looked at it and I was not prepared for what I saw.

  Chapter 14

  Tanesha

  The time that Ace and I had in Paris was unbelievable, but I was super happy to be back in Dallas. I missed my best friend Mo, and normally when we take trips, the trips are together so we never have to miss each other. I wish that they could have come.

  I couldn’t wait to see Mo and tell her all about my trip and I wanted to know about her Valentine’s Day as well. We were only gone a couple of days but it feels like it has been forever. I called Mo earlier to see if she would come over if she didn’t have anything to do, and of course she said yes. Who could turn me down?

  I headed downstairs to wait for her; she should be here any minute now. Ace was out checking out his houses, making sure business was running smooth. He got a message when he got back saying that some shit had popped off while he was gone, so he had been on edge ever since we got back. He said that he may be gone for a while but he would check in, so I guess Brandon would be too, so my BFF and I could use this time with each other.

  Dingg, Donggg!

  The doorbell ring and I raced to the door to get it. I opened it up and there stood my Mo. We hugged and I let her in.

  “Wassup bitch!!” I said to her. She wiped her hair out of her face and that’s when I noticed her ring. “Bitch, no!” I yelled. “Y’all got engaged too! Oh my God! I am so happy for you, girl! Tell me everything! I want to know how he did it, what he said, I want to know everything,” I told her.

  “Congratulations to you too, T! I knew all about the whole situation. I was the who helped plan it so I hope you liked everything,” Mo said.

  “Yes, I loved everything; I was so surprised to wake up in Paris, girl. I can’t believe he got this done without my nosy ass knowing. He didn’t even act different or anything. He is good with giving surprises, I know that. I got some news for you too, after you tell me everything that happened with your engagement,” I told her.

  “Girl, it was literally the best day of my life! He bought me a matte black Range with rose gold interior, so you know that shit is popping! It’s outside if you wanna see it and bitch, he bought us a new house, furnished it and everything, and that is what we will be moving into when we get married! The house is popping bitch, I love it. He proposed to me in the house we living in now with rose petals and shit. It was cute! Now what’s your news?” she said all in one breath.

  She didn’t even give me a chance to ask questions. I knew she would really want to know what my news is.

  “Okay, so you ready for the news?” I said teasing her.

  “Bitch, yes! Now tell me,” she said and I started laughing.

  “Okay, the thing is you are going to be an auntie!” I told her and the look on her face was the same look that I had when I saw that the shit was positive. “I know, I was wondering how and when this happened. His pull out game is weak! I thought of all the times I couldn’t fit into certain things and I kept being sick, emotional, and tired. The signs were there I just never expected this,” I told her.

  “I am so happy for you, T!” she screamed. “Do you know how far along you are?”

  “No, I don’t, but I have an appointment today which is another reason I wanted you to come over so you can go with me,” I told her seriously. I was shocked at first but now I am very excited. I always wanted a baby but it’s even better that I am pregnant by the man that I was planning on spending the rest of my life with, and things couldn’t get any better for me. Minus the fact that no one has seen DeShon in the past few months and I do not know what he has up his sleeve.

  We got in my new G-Wagon and headed to the hospital for my first appointment. A bitch still couldn’t believe that she was pregnant and didn’t know it. Where they do that at?

  “I cannot believe that this day has finally come, T! I always knew that you would be pregnant before me,” Mo said. I just rolled my eyes because I was always the little freak out of all of us, and she would always say that I would be the first pregnant. Shit, at least we weren’t in high school or some shit, and at least I got money so that I don’t have to worry for me and my child.

  We pulled up to the hospital and walked inside. For some reason I got nervous. What the hell was I gonna do with a damn baby? I would always help out with my friends’ and my cousins’ babies, but one of my own? This is so nerve wrecking. Will I be a good mom? I felt dizzy and had to go throw up.

  “You’re going to be fine, T. You have me and you have a man that is going to be there with you every step of the way. You don’t have anything to worry about T, I got you,” Mo said as if she was reading my mind.

  “Tanesha Farron,” the doctor called out and Mo and I followed behind her to the room.

  “How are you doing today, Ms. Farron?” the doctor asked me.

  “I am doing fine, just very nervous. I just got the positive test results and I realized that I had been feeling the symptoms for a while but just brushed it off. My fiancé was the one who made me take the pregnancy test but he’s not here right now. I’m really anxious to see how far along I am,” I told her honestly. I had been drinking and smoking and getting turnt up, not even knowing that I was pregnant. I just hope that I didn’t harm our baby.

  “Well, you’re at the right place. W
e are going to find that out now. Don’t worry about if you hurt the baby or not because chances are that you haven’t. Lie back and lift up your shirt. I am going to pour some of this gel on your belly and then we will see your precious little baby appear on the screen,” she told me.

  I did as I was told and held my best friend’s hand while we both looked at the screen. She started moving the little wand thing against my belly and a baby appeared.

  “She’s so big already. Oh my God, how far am I?” I said with tears forming in my eyes. I don’t know why I said she, maybe I wanted a girl.

  “It looks like your 7 months, 28 weeks to be exact! Wow, you are almost to the finish line. I can’t believe that you didn’t know and you’re so small still. Trust me, you’re going to blow up here soon, now that you know. Let’s see if they will show me the gender,” she said as she starts pushing along my stomach to try and open the legs.

  “Well, I am proud to announce that you are having a little boy!” the doctor told me. I couldn’t stop crying and not just because I found all this out, but there was another problem that I was thinking about. The doctor gave me more instructions as we stood to leave.

  “Wow, T! I can’t believe this. We gotta tell everyone and get you a baby shower set up as well! I’m so excited to be having a little nephew!” Mo said but I just could not stop crying. “T, are you that happy that you just can’t stop crying or is there something else that’s bothering you?

  “What if this is DeShon’s baby? You hear that I am 7 months and we only been together for 7 months,” I finally said out loud. Damn, this was going to be some shit.

  Ace

  I didn’t even have the time to enjoy the thought that I was going to be a father because I got hit with some business that could get us money and get us to DeShon. When we got back, I got a phone call from Brandon saying that a nigga named Tae from Chicago wants to holler at us about some shit that we might be interested about, and about a common enemy. I normally didn’t have any enemies so there was only one person that he could be talking about.
