I continued pleasuring myself. Anthony rolled up a blunt and walked over to the bed. He pulled the covers off my body. I opened my legs wider and he licked his lips. I saw his dick getting hard through the towel. He grabbed the lighter that was on the table close by and lit the blunt then took a long pull from it. He removed his towel and dove inside my moist pussy. He passed me the blunt and I took a few hits. I closed my eyes as Anthony was making me cum. He reached his hands up my gown and played with my nipples. I pushed his head deeper inside my pussy, he knew playing with my nipples turned me on. Placing the blunt in the ashtray, I gripped the sheets and called out his name as he was bringing me to my climax.
“Anthony, right there, oh yes, right there!” I yelled while shoving all my pussy in his mouth.
He finally released me, licking his lips not wasting any of my sweetness. He climbed on top of me and started digging into my guts.
“Is this what you needed, huh? Is this your problem? You needed some dick, that’s all you had to say,” Anthony said in between breaths.
I dug my nails in his back and bit down on his shoulder. He was going deeper and deeper. His phone started ringing. I tried to ignore it, but whoever was calling wasn’t giving up at all. He got up and stormed to where his phone was. He looked at the phone and then back at me. I looked at him like nigga answer the damn phone.
“Hello, what do you want?” he yelled into the phone.
I saw he was turning down the phone so I couldn’t hear who was on the other end. I got out of the bed and stood behind him. I was close enough to hear that it was a female’s voice, sounding sad. Anthony was yelling at her telling her that he doesn’t need the type of stress she is bringing him.
Now I’m looking like, nigga what the fuck you mean you don’t need that type of stress. “Who the fuck is this bitch?” I said to myself. I snatched the phone from his ear and placed it to mines.
“I’m pregnant and you’re the father,” the female’s voice spoke.
I removed the phone from my ear looked at the screen and it read Baby Girl V. When I looked at Anthony he smacked the shit out of me so hard that my lip was bleeding.
I got up off the floor and threw his phone at him. It hit him right on his eye. He balled up his fist and punched me in my left breast. I punched him in the same eye that I had thrown the phone at. We were in this hotel room going blow for blow. He punched me, I punched his ass back. He may have got the best of me, but he crossed the line when he decided to sleep with my best friend.
Bang…Bang
“Open up, Security!” I heard the security guards yell.
I ran to the door lip bleeding, one eye closed shut, nose bleeding, shirt tore, boobs out for all of America to see, and hair looking a mess.
“Miss are you okay? Do you need any medical attention?” the guard asked me, pulling out his two-way radio.
I looked at him and cried. I was hurt, and my chest hurt so bad. I felt short of breath and my vision was getting blurry. I was falling to the floor, but Anthony caught me. I could hear him talking to the security guard.
“Sir, she is okay. She had a fight with a friend. You can leave now!”
“Sir, it looks like the fight was with you. I need an ambulance and an officer up to room 215.” I heard the guard say.
Chapter 5
The police came in the room with the ambulance in tow.
“What happened here?” I kept going in and out of it.
“Me and my girlfriend had a disagreement and things went bad,” Anthony said to the officer.
The ambulance placed me on the stretcher, pulling my eyelids back and flashing a flashlight in my eyes.
“Her heart rate is going in and out, we need to get her to the hospital now!” I felt something wet coming from my vagina.
In the midst, of all this traveling and business meetings, I haven’t had a chance to tell Anthony that I was one month pregnant. They hurried and rushed me out the hotel room. They lifted the stretcher off the floor and rolled me down to the elevators.
When I woke up I was attached to an IV and a gauze pad on my left eye. My ribs were hurting and my mouth was dry. I pushed the red button to call the nurse. She tapped on the door and had the biggest smile on her face.
“Good, you’re woke, how can I help you?” She closed the door behind her.
“I need some water, and my head is killing me. How long have I been here?”
“You have been here for a month. You were in a slight comma. You were pretty banged up when you came in here. What is your level of pain?” She checked my IV bag and took my blood pressure.
“My pain is at a five,” I spoke looking down at what I felt was now an empty stomach. I just knew my baby was gone. I swallowed the lump in my throat trying my hardest to hold back my tears.
“Okay, we will get you some pain meds. Also, we did an ultrasound on you. When you came in you had a large amount of blood between your legs. Unfortunately, you’ve had a miscarriage, I’m so sorry,” the nurse said then went to type information into the computer that was in the room.
“I already knew I had a miscarriage,” I said in a said with a tear falling from my eye.
“I will be right back with your pain meds, and I’ll let the doctor know you’re awake.” The nurse left.
“Is she awake now?” I heard an unfamiliar voice say outside my room.
I closed my eyes and let a tear fall. I can’t believe Anthony is sleeping with Vivian, my best friend since middle school. We did everything together, but share each other’s man. I guess that changed, and now she’s pregnant by him, and I lost mines.
There was a light tap on my door. I sat up and fixed myself the best way I could.
“Come in,” I spoke wiping my eye.
Two officers came in the room, looked at me and shook their heads. “Damn do I look that bad?” I said to myself.
“Hello Ms. Anderson, I’m Officer King. I’m so sorry for what happened to you. We are here to get your side of what happened to you,” Officer King spoke taking out his note pad and a pen.
“Please don’t feel sorry for me,” I said trying to hold back my tears that were already there.
The officer pulled a chair close to the bed. His partner, whom didn’t tell me his name, looked at me the whole time as if he was trying to read me.
“Whenever you are ready to start I’m listening,” Officer King said.
I looked over at him and spilled out my life to this man.
“I remember coming from a business meeting. I was tired, it had been all business since I’ve been here. After the meeting, I went back to the hotel and took a shower. I didn’t hear Anthony calling my name. Next thing I know he made his way to the bathroom and slapped me. He thought I was ignoring him, but I wasn’t.” The officer was writing everything down that I told him.
“Now what led you to being in the hospital? I know a slap to the face didn’t do this.” He looked at me waiting for me to get to the meat and potatoes.
“Anthony and I were having sex, his phone kept ringing. He tried to ignore it, but that wasn’t working. He got up and stormed off to the table where the phone was, he didn’t know I was behind him. I snatched the phone from his ear and the women’s voice I heard was my very own best friend, Vivian. She was saying that she was pregnant by Anthony. I threw his phone at him and we started fighting and now I’m here.”
“Wow,” was all Officer King could say.
“Would you like to press charges?” the officer in the corner asked with a fucked-up attitude.
I looked up in his direction and gave him an ugly look. Last time I checked, I didn’t even know his name.
“What did you say your name was again?” I asked with much attitude.
“I’m Officer Lee.” He held out his hand for me to shake.
I looked down at his hand, turned my head, turning my attention back to Officer King. Officer King looked at me and then at Officer Lee. Officer King shook his head at Officer Lee and looked back a
t me. I tried my hardest to not lose my cool, but Officer Lee was pushing my buttons. Kevin came busting through the doors looking around. He looked at the two officers in the room and mean mugged the two of them.
“Joy, thank God you’re awake, I was worried about you. What happened?” he said giving me a light hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I had gone to the room to check to see if you and Anthony wanted to go to dinner that night, and there were cops in the room. They were taking Anthony to jail and said you were taken to the hospital. I’ve been waiting on you to wake up.”
“Sir, who are you and what relationship do you have with her?” Officer Lee asked now giving Kevin attitude.
“I’m Kevin, Joy here works with me and my brother, Anthony, the man y’all have in jail,” Kevin said giving attitude back to Officer Lee.
“Kevin it’s not the officers fault. Anthony put his own self in jail. He did this to me. He is sleeping with Vivian and she’s having his baby,” I said sobbing like a baby.
“So, he took his anger out on you, because you found out that he was sleeping around?” he asked with his nose flaring up.
“Pretty much, but I think what made him blow his top, is when I snatched the phone from his ear. I heard that it was Vivian’s voice on the other end and I threw the phone at him. We were going blow for blow.” I was starting to get upset. My chest was getting tight and my head was starting to hurt even more.
“I’m so tired of repeating myself. Everyone get out!” I yelled.
My emotions are everywhere. I lost my child, the man that I thought loved me, and my best friend all in one day. I just couldn’t take this shit no more. As bad as I wanted to leave this hospital and never look back, I can’t. A knock on the door took me out of my thoughts.
“Here, I was able to get a few belongings from your room.” Kevin sat a black bag on the side of the bed and left the room.
I opened the bag and powered on Anthony’s cell phone. Once his phone powered up, instantly text messages, emails, voice mails and his Facebook messenger was going off every second. My hands were shaking afraid of what I was going to see. I swallowed hard and opened the messages. My mouth dropped when I saw the messages from multiple women. I opened the messages between him and Vivian; they’re messages go back two months. I can’t believe this shit, I wanted to throw this phone across the room. I was scanning through the messages and Anthony was telling Vivian that he didn’t love me, and that I had picked up too much weight. He was telling her that he takes care of my mom and how he is ready to leave me and be with her. He even got to the point where he was telling her that he loved her and can’t wait to make things official with her. This shit broke my heart. Here I’m thinking I’m doing everything right to keep my man happy, and here he is bad mouthing me to my so-called best friend.
I opened more messages and there was a bunch of sexting, meetings for lunch, and motels.
Knock…Knock
The knocking took me out of my thoughts. I placed the phone back in the bag and put it on the side of me.
“Come in,” I said in a soft tone.
A tall slim middle aged Hispanic man walked in the room carrying a smile that could light up the darkest room. His cologne filled my nose. It wasn’t too strong and not too light, he had sprayed it just right.
“Hello Ms. Anderson, I’m Dr. Ruiz. The nurse told me you’re in a little pain. Are you still having some pain?” Dr. Ruiz asked with his strong accent.
“Hi, yes, I’m still in pain. It seems to have gotten worse since those two officers were here. When can I go home?” I asked looking at his dark brown eyes.
“I would say you should be able to go home soon. You seem to be healing properly.
“Can I lift your gown? I want to have a look at your ribs? They were bruised up bad when you came in.”
He lifted my gown, I flinched a little. I’ve never been in pain in my life. I looked down at my stomach and I could see the bruises. I’m so mad at myself.
“Ms. Anderson, I’m also sorry for the loss of your baby. You look to be doing well. I will put an order in for you to do a CT scan. I want to have a better look at your ribs. You will be in slight pain for a few a little longer. I will give you Paracetamol to help with the pain and Ibuprofen for the head pain. In about ten minutes a nurse will be coming in to do another ultrasound, just to double check that your sack it fully empty. If a D&C is needed, the nurses will perform one, it will be quick. That’s to prevent any infections and they will remove any contents left behind in the uterus.”
Dr. Ruiz sat in the chair next to a computer and put some information in. I sat there with a blank look on my face. The nurse tapped on the door and walked in carrying some pills and a pitcher of water. Behind her was another nurse with the ultrasound machine. The doctor passed down the information to them and left the room, telling me he would check on me before he leaves tonight. He left the room and waved at me.
“Joy, these here are the pills the doctor wants you to have for your pain.” She placed the pills in my hand and poured some water in a cup.
I put the pills in my mouth and drank the water that I needed. After I finished, I handed the cup to the nurse. She smiled at me and I smiled back. The other nurse was in the corner setting up the machine. I watched as she was typing on the computer. She then squeezed gel onto my stomach and placed the ultrasound scanner on my lower stomach, then rolled it back and forth a few times. I glanced over at the empty screen and looked away quickly.
“Let’s set up to do the D&C,” the nurse spoke to the other nurse.
They set up and placed my feet on these attachments that were on the bed. They had me spread my legs and it felt like they were scrapping at my insides forever. Once they were done and I got back comfortable in the bed. I asked if I could have some more water and some type of food. I was starting to get hungry.
She poured me some water and said, “Yes, I will have something sent up for you.” The nurses left the room.
I grabbed the bag and pulled out my cell phone. I powered it up and as soon as it turned on, Vivian was calling me. I twisted up my lips and declined her call. I scrolled through my contacts and called my mom. I knew going to the home I shared with Anthony would not be healthy for neither one of us, and I really needed my mom. I haven’t talked to her in a while due to all this work and traveling here and there, not to mention being in the hospital. Before I pressed the button to call my mom, I smiled and looked at her photo that was by her name. I pushed the call button and waited for mama to pick up.
“Hey baby, how are you doing?” Mama spoke in the phone sounding half sleep.
I looked at the clock and totally forgot it was a three-hour difference between Los Angeles and New York. But, I really needed to vent to my mama.
“Hey mama, I’m not doing too well.” I tried to hold back the tears that sat in the corner of my eye. “I’m in the hospital.”
“Wait! What you mean you’re in the hospital, what happened?”
I could hear mama moving around, so I knew she was sitting up by now, probably getting dressed and on the first thing smoking to come and get me.
“Mama, me and Anthony got into a huge fight. I have a gauze on my eye and my ribs are broken, and to make matters worse, I lost my baby. Mama, I lost my baby,” I sobbed in the phone.
“Baby, calm down, breathe. What made him put his hands on you?” Mama was now on the phone crying.
I explained everything to mama. She was so upset, but she really flipped her wig when I told her that Vivian and Anthony are having a baby.
“See, I told you that heffa was a no-good friend, I knew she was fast. I’m not saying it’s your fault baby, but you have to listen to mama sometimes.”
“I know mama, I know. I just feel like they both betrayed me. My friend since the sandbox and the man that I loved have torn my heart to pieces.” I sat silently on the phone and listened to mama pray.
“Baby, when you get out that hospital and get back to New York, you call me, and
I will meet you at your home. I will help you pack, you are coming back home and leaving that job. You can always find somewhere else to work, you have amazing skills. You don’t deserve to be treated as someone’s punching bag. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, mama, I hear you. I’m going to get me some rest. I will call you in a few hours.”
“You do that baby. I love you very much. I pray that you will recover and come home stronger than you left.”
“I love you too, mama, and I will see you soon.” We ended our call.
As soon as I ended the call with my mama. Vivian called me. Wanting to ignore her once again, I decided to hear what she had to say.
“Hello, what do you want?” I spoke in the phone.
“Hey how are you doing?” she asked in a chipper tone.
I took the phone from my ear and looked at it as if it had two arms. What the fuck is wrong with this bitch?
“Vivian, all I want to know is how could you sleep with my man? You’re supposed to be my best friend. We are more than friends, we were like sisters, and for you to this is below the belt. I mean, don’t you think it’s bad enough that you slept with his brother. What did you need from my man that you already didn’t get from his brother? And then to put the icing on the cake, you’re carrying his child. Did you ever think about me? Did you think how this would affect me? No, you didn’t, because it’s always been about you. I’m sitting in this damn hospital with broken ribs, a fucked-up eye, and my baby died. My fucking baby died! You’re a fucked-up friend.”
“Joy, what you and Anthony had going on in your home has nothing to do with me, and neither does your dead child. Yeah, I slept with his brother. Hell, I’ll sleep with the daddy too, if he is talking the right price. I can’t help the fact that you can’t keep your man happy. Now, if you ever want lessons, I’m always here to help you out. From what Anthony said, you could use the help boo. So, don’t act like y’all were so damn good when he was telling me all y’all problems. You have no right to be mad at me.”
