No Ordinary Love Read Online Free PDF Page A

She had been on the verge of contacting him when she’d walked in and seen his face. Her heart sank to her toes when he didn’t speak to her.
    “No—” Briannah shouted.
    “Yes—” Casey admitted, with a roll of her eyes in Briannah’s direction.
    Briannah sighed. “I’m not saying don’t tell him about the baby. Nobody deserves to be raised without their father around, and it’s not as if he ain’t gon’ find out soon or later anyway.” Her voice had softened but returned to its original tone when the next statement came out. “But if that nigga fuckin’ with somebody else, forget him,” she summed up.
    Catrina finally lowered her head to look at them. Her eyes were glassy with tears. “I can’t. He’s been everything to me and I love him so much,” she admitted. It was true enough, David had been her first everything. “I’m so scared to have this baby without him,” she confessed, sitting on the edge of Casey’s bed and putting her head on Briannah’s shoulder and let the tears fall.
    Casey’s heart broke at the sight of Catrina’s tears. “So work it out. A baby deserves parents who love and care for each other—”
    Briannah frowned and interrupted. “That’s just the point, Case baby, Dave is not acting like he cares for her, fuckin’ around on her. I’on care how much beggin’ he been doin’ these past few days.” In her opinion none of it was enough.
    Casey shook her head. “You know he loves her.”
    Briannah shrugged. “So he loves her. Trina, you know that he is some bullshit, but you’re having his baby and you love him.”
    Catrina lifted her head. “You think I should go talk to him?” she directed her question to Casey because she knew that she was more likely to agree with her out of the two.
    Briannah frowned because she figured that Catrina would end up talking to David if she supported her or not. “You think you can deal with him the way things are?”
    “No, I’m not the one for that. But I want him. I want us,” she replied as more tears slipped from her eyes.
    “Awww, go talk to him,” Casey soothed, hating to see her friend so distraught.
    “You’re suddenly full of suggestions for Trina, Case. Don’t see you going after D.”
    Catrina laughed as she wiped her tears away with a corner of her shirtsleeve. “Sure don’t.”
    “D is scared of me, not the other way around.”
    Catrina nodded. “That is true. At least he has the decency to not want to hurt you—”
    Briannah snorted, thinking of Tyree and all his overtures for her attention. “Unlike the rest of his friends.”
    “I know, right,” Catrina laughed. “It must be a best friend thing ‘cause Ty is a dog too. And he stay trying to get Bri.”
    Briannah smiled. She liked Tyree but he had entirely too much going on with his girlfriend and any of the other girls he was messing with on the side for her to add herself into the mix. Briannah huffed, didn’t even know why she was considering him. She already had a boyfriend. “Nigga be trying hard too.”
    Casey laughed. “Nyimah is crazy. And she swear everybody want Ty cheating ass. She be like, ‘Chase, why you going with dem? Who gon’ be there?’” she mocked. “And she is ignorant as hell.”
    Briannah mentally agreed. She didn’t want any drama. Checking her watch, she said, “I’m ‘bout to go. Mark gon’ flip out if I’m not ready.” Her current boyfriend was taking her the movies. She looked at Catrina. “You gon’ be okay?”
    Catrina nodded and stood up. “Yeah, I’ma see if he still downstairs.”
    There was no time like the present.

Chapter Three
    And Then Things Got Worse
    Catrina
    Since David left by the time she decided to talk to him, Catrina found herself walking down his mother’s block. She’d decided that she would visit rather than page him in fear that he wouldn’t answer her.
This was the right thing to do for the baby, for her and for him, she tried to convince herself.
    Catrina shook her
