He loosened up and returned a weak smile.

Damn, I'm crazy about this kid.

- Jaden Smith -

Every one of us, MB, the girls, and I, met up in the lobby. Well everyone but Kaitlyn, Indigo and Princeton. She took him out to eat, pre-birthday dinner. I heard Kaitlyn went home because Sydni beat her ass.

Walter and Keisha instructed everyone on what they needed to get or do. Like Decorations, food, dessert, music, pool props, Text reminders, etc. I was put on Decor duty with Sydni. 

"So Syd," I started as we went around Party City. "Why did you fight Kaitlyn."

"Cause she's a dirty ho." 

"That doesn't answer my question." I told her.

"Fine. She gave Ray the clap, who gave it to Mi'lana, who gave it to Craig."

"Seriously?" I asked shocked. She looked at me and smirked.

"Yep, what's wrong Jay? You seem nervous."

"Nervous? Hell nahh, I'm straight. For once Kay and I aren't the ones having problems." I told her.

"Right, okay. How long is that gonna last?" She asked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Jaden, just to let you know in advance. What's done in the dark, comes to the light." She walked down an aisle.

Okay she's confusing me now. "Sydni, you think I'm cheating on Xey?"

"I didn't say that. But since you brought it up, are you?"

"Fuck no," I whisper yelled. "Why you just ask me that?"

"Just a little thought floating around in the air." She says.

I pause. "Xey thinks I'm cheating?" 

She shrugs, "Didn't say that either."

What the fuck is going on?

(( Later that day ))

+ Kay'Lani Gonzalez +

"Kay, come with me to Hollister so we can get a new bikini." Syd tells me as we break off from the group. 

"Hollister?" I ask.

"Yea,"

"I don't know, how about PacSun? You know the smell in Hollister makes me sneeze." I said finding a valid excuse to escape that horrid smell. Nothing like good ole Hollister to trigger that morning sickness.

"Fine," She said in defeat. We strolled into Pacific Sunwear and she dragged me to the swimwear. I just stood there.

"Choose one or I'm gonna choose for you." She demanded looking through the racks.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes mother." I said doing the same. I found a nice one piece and started to the dressing room but Sydni stopped me.

"Hell no, give me that." She said.

"Why? I like it." I lied.

"That shit is ugly." She told me taking it away. "Try this on." She handed me a cute bikini that showed as much skin possible.

"Okay," I say taking my time walking to the dressing room. I slowly slipped it on and looked at myself in the mirror.

"You got it on grandma?" Sydni complained.

I turn to the side and stare at my figure. Two months in and my bump is barely coming in. Perfect. No one will be able to tell. "Yepp!" I cheered.

"Well come on! Show me!" 

I stepped out of the dressing room and stood in front of her. She walked around me, observing.

"Sooo?" I ask impatiently.

"I don't know, maybe you should go with the one piece." She said finally.

That was not the response I was expecting. "What for?"

"It might just be me, but, it looks like you've picked up some extra weight. Don't get me wrong though, you don't look fat. Just, bigger."

I stared at her and then at my reflection in front of me. Of course. She's my best friend since birth. She notices when my part is slightly different from what it usually is. She notices when my blinking pattern is different. She notices when my breathing hitches. Of course she'll notice a barely there baby bump.

She stared at me too. I could just see those gears grinding in her head. Then her whole expression changed.

"No..." She whispered.

"No what?" I ask hesitantly.

"Cut the bullshit Kay'Lani. I figured it out. The puking, the tiredness, the swollen tender tits, you being overly dramatic, the weight gain. You're pregnant aren't you??"

I sighed. "I was gonna tell you! I really was but I kep--"

"I don't even wanna hear the excuses. How could you not tell me?!" Syd says.

"I was! But I kept being interrupted every time! And you were kind of the first person I told! Remember at the Rehearsal dinner? I said I was feeling nauseous and you just discarded it, saying it was a side effect of Plan B?! Do not even go there!" 

She went quiet. That's what I thought.

"Does Jaden know?" She asked.

"Yea but, it's only a 50% chance it's his." I told her.

She went wide eyed. "Chresanto?"

I nodded.

"And does Jaden know this?"

"Yea, that's what we've been having problems about. He thinks I'm gonna fuck around with Chres again cause I didn't stop talking to him."

"Wow," She says. "Does Chres know?"

"Does Chres know what?" Chresanto says appearing out of no where.

I rushed into the dressing room, "Nothing!"

"Oh no you don't," He said following me in and closing the door as I was in the middle of taking off the top.

I covered myself. "Dude what the fuck."

"Seriously Lani? It's nothing I haven't seen before."

I turned around. "So."

"Whatever. Does Chres know what?" He repeated.

"That I'm oh said madly in love with him." I said with mad sarcasm as I slipped my shirt on. I faced him, "Nothing." I started to leave.

He pulled me back and gently pinned me against the wall. "Tell me,"

Oh God, why did he have to do this. "Let me out."

He smirked, "Not until you tell me." He whispered.

My hormones were off the radar now. I swear he was doing this on purpose. "Seriously Chres, get off me."

"Or you'll what?"

Fuck you right here in this dressing room.

"Fu-"

"Excuse me, there's only one person allowed per dressing room." A girl who worked here said.

"Looks like one of us gotta go," I said leaving the dressing room.

Saved by the blonde.
