A game of love by brea isomee (the best novels to read .txt) 📕

. I smiled and opened my eyes .

She was standing in front of me . I hadn't seen her in the longest and to see her now i was confused but the smile i had from making the shot never left my lips . She looked as beautiful as ever . And then i noticed it . . . her busted lip . I noticed the bruise on her neck . I noticed the slightly puffiness and redness of her eyes . That made my smile fade a little .

She spoke in a small shy voice " i thought i could find you here ."

" Deaisha , " I ran the back off my hand across her cheek and she shivered a little and gave me a small smile .

" hi Marco ."

I pulled my hand back quickly " long time no see ."

" i know , " she shifted her eyes to the ground just like she did the first night i met her " i've been busy . "

" i bet ."

We were quiet . I tried to look in her face but every time i did she just turn her head a different way . I could tell she was hurting in every way . Not only physically but mentally . I could tell by the pained expression on her face . I'd never seen that look before and i hoped at that moment i'd never have to see it again .

I got my ball and grabbed her hand without a word and led her into my building , up the steps and into my apartment . I just wanted to help her and get her cleaned up . That wasn't bad , right ? I dropped my ball in the hall way and led her to the kitchen . I stopped in my tracks seeing Lisa sitting at the kitchen table with her head in her hands . When she heard me enter she looked up at me and rage filled her eyes .

I shook my at my own stupidity . I knew this would only lead to trouble .

Lisa shot up out her chair and walk toward us . I pushed Deaisha behind me .

" so , what , this yo new girl or somethin' ? After i just told you that -"

" baby , i'm just tryna help her out . She's just my friend ."

" yeah fuckin' right ! Like , i'm gon' believe that shit . I'm not stupid ." she took a deep breath and looked over my shoulder at Deaisha and her expression got all the more pissed off " i'm about to beat her ass !"

*Deaisha -

I admit i was mean mugging Lisa from behind Marco . I was having fun pissing her off . I mean , come on ! She stole the man i had my eye on . Well , i was with Armillio , but still ! I wanted Marco through out that whole relationship . I couldn't help at this moment to think i picked the wrong man . Armillio ended up beating me , why do you think my face is like it is ? !

I was jealous . Yes , pure , jealousy was pumping in my blood .

*Marco-

I was holding Lisa back . She was not about to fuck up my baby just to fight Deaisha . I wasn't having that . " calm down , baby . Please . "

Lisa snatched away from me and sat down at the table putting her head back in her hands .

I turned to Deaisha " maybe you should go . This wasn't a good idea ."

She had a genuine look of hurt on her face and i felt bad . I knew she was already having a bad day and i just made it worse . But Lisa needed me & i wasn't about to risk our relationship for Deaisha .

She stormed away and i heard a door open and close . I just assumed it was the front door .

I sat on the floor next to Lisa and layed my head on her leg " i love you baby ."

She just grumbled and pushed my head off her leg . I swear she was breaking my heart slowly . I got on my knees and looked her in her eyes . I kissed her cheek " baby please . You know she don't mean nothin' to me . I just wanted to help her out ."

" but i could tell she still wanted you by the look on her face . You don't understand . We need you ."

I wiped away a tear that was rolling down her cheek , i kissed her lips softly "i'm here for ya'll . Me you and our child . Baby i love you . And nothing is gonna come between us ."

Her eyes lit up " really ?"

" yeah , " i hugged her and placed kisses all down her face face and her neck . As soon as i was about to kiss her lips i heard a big bang .

I froze . It was a gun bang . My heart sped up . I felt felt adrenaline pumping through my veins , What do i do ? I pulled Lisa onto the floor and crawled to the living room . Meisha was crouched on the floor next to the couch . I crawled into the hallway and saw their was a pool of blood coming from inside the bathroom .

I already knew what happened . . . . . Deaisha .

I said a silent prayer for her and went to call 911 .

*Armillio -

I threw the white rose onto the casket " descanse en paz . " i whispered meaning 'rest in peace' .

I slowly walked back to my spot next to the grave as every one else dropped their flowers on top . It had been a weak since she commited suicide at Marco's house and i couldn't help but think it was my fault . I mean , i had hit her that night . Maybe she couldn't deal with it .

I took a deep breath and ran my hand over the tattoo on my neck . I never got a chance to tell her . I'd hitten her for a reason , even though that didn't make it okay . I had went to the clinic earlier on in the day to get some test results . I'd taken a few tests a weak earlier to make sure i had no std's or anything like that . Every thing came back negative . Every thing except my aid's test . I was destraught . I had no idea what to do . Good thing i hadn't slept with Deaisha . It would have killed me knowing that i'd given her that . When i came home that evening she was bitching about me nor calling her back and all type of shit . And i just snapped .

But unfortunately every body wasn't so lucky not to have slept with me. About a week or two before all of this went down i'd had sex with a girl . A girl standing across from me , a beautiful girl , the one standing next to Marco . I heard she was pregnant with his baby . That meant they'd have to have had unprotected sex more than likely . Although i'd used a condom with her it was still possible for her to have it .

I stared at her . . . . . Lisa .

I couldn't tell her . No , i wouldn't be able to . Knowing that i would ruin someones life by telling them i could have given them aids is not something i could do . If i tell her and she has it then she'll fall apart . But if i tell her and she doesn't have it then she'll be admitting to Marco that she cheated and i could tell she truly loved him with everything she had . But either way her life is fucked .
7 months later :)

*Lisa-

"push !"

I could have sworn i was gonna die . This little bastard felt like he was splitting me in half . Wait , i didn't mean to call my baby a bastard . I really didn't . I'm gonna love my son with all my heart and Marco will too . I felt the need to push , like i had to but the pain wasn't something i could deal with too much longer .

I gripped Marco's hand tighter , inhaled and pushed " aaaarrrgghh ."

I felt a small relief but it still felt like i was getting ripped from one hole to the next . " good Lisa . The head is out . Give me another push . A big one . "

I shook my head " no no no ."

" come on . That's the only way you're going to feel better . Now , PUSH !"

I wanted to tell that damn doctor to shut the hell up . His ass couldn't even dream up the pain i was feeling . I couldn't even explain it . I snatched my hand from Marco and grabbed the railing of the bed preparing to push " this is your damn fault !"

I pushed , i pushed , i pushed . I bit my lip to keep from screaming . I tasted blood in my mouth but that didn't stop me . I didn't stop until i had pushed the baby all the way out .

I fell back on the bed " thank god ."

Marco went down to the end of the bed to where the doctor was at and he instantly puffed his chest out and snipped the umbilical cord . I could tell he was proud he'd made a baby . I hope he's a little handsome little fella . Well , what am i saying ? I know he'll be handsome . And i'll love -

" aaaarrrgg ," i felt the need to push again " doctor ! I don't think this is supposed to happen ."

He handed my son to a nurse to be cleaned and got back down between my legs . I couldn't help but think i was gonna die . It was just a thought . And when i say die i don't mean literally die . But i was just in so much pain .

" looks like there's another baby ."

I shook my head . No , i couldn't go through that pay again . But i didn't really have a choice . Shouldn't they have seen two babies on the sonogram ? !

*Marco -

Once the second baby was out i was even happier . Who knew i'd make such a beautiful baby . I sniped the second umbilical cord and the doctor handed the baby to the nurse to be cleaned just like the first .

The first child was a boy , we decided to name him Demarco Larel Jones Jr . I was proud to have a junior . The second child was a girl . We named her Demarla
