“Nasty ass.” I slapped her on the ass and carried her back upstairs to give her exactly what she was looking for. I’d check on Stacks in the morning.

***

the next morning…

I got up early and called Stacks to tell him I was coming to get him. He tried declining at first, but he didn’t have a fuckin’choice. I was ready to get this shit over with. It didn’t have shit to do with me directly but fuckin’ with my brothers was fuckin’ with me and everybody knows I take that shit personal. I let him know Nic was gone come sit with Kasha and go over some wedding shit and he agreed right after he called himself cursing me out.

I just finished getting dressed and headed downstairs to find my family. I have to laugh at myself every time I think about where I am now. After Joi’s hoe ass, you couldn’t pay me to take another bitch serious. Yeah, aight. Goldie brought her sexy ass ’round and all that shit went left. Crazy thing is, I’m not mad about the shit at all. When I made it downstairs, I found Goldie in the kitchen packing Benny’s bag to take with her. I couldn’t resist the urge to wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her neck, so that’s exactly what I did.

“Damn shorty. You smell good as fuck.” I grumbled into her neck.

“Thank you, but move.” She shrugged me off. “I need to finish getting this stuff together so we can leave. If you start yo’ shit, we won’t make it,” she accused causing me to bellow loudly. Shit was so loud, it scared my boy.

“Shit, my bad, homie. Yo’ mama swear she knows me. Tell her to stop hating on ya pops.” I picked my son up and talked to him like he understood what I was saying.

“I do know you. That’s why I know you’re about to load your son and bag in the truck so we can go.” I watched as she walked over, stood on her tiptoes and kissed me.

Yeah, she was turning me into a simp ass nigga.

After I got her and Benny situated, we left and headed over to Stacks’. When we pulled up, her sister Mel was getting out of her car with their bad ass brother Keenan in tow.

“Nic, why didn’t you tell me to come and get you?” Mel asked.

“Because I was bringing ’em. That’s why,” I interjected before Goldie had a chance to respond.

“You get on my damn nerves,” Mel countered rolling her eyes. She got close and took Benny from arms and I let her.

“Keenan, bring yo’ bad ass over here and get this bag.”

“That ain’t my baby,” his bad ass voiced.

“Man, if you’on come get this damn bag.” I frowned in his direction and waited for him to come and get this bag from my hand. “I’on say you ain’t my kid when you be asking me for shit now, do I?” His only response was to roll his eyes and snatch the bag from my hand.

By the time we made it to the door, Stacks had already opened it to let Mel and Benny inside. I watched him hug her and try to take Benny, but she wasn’t having it. When he went to hug Goldie, I pushed his ass back. “Watch out. You’on gotta do all that.” I mugged his ass and walked inside.

“You a hating ass nigga,” he laughed before dapping Keenan up. “Jace is upstairs in his room.” When he said that, his bad ass took off running.

“Where’s Kasha?” Nic asked.

“Right here.” I turned in her direction and rose to my feet.

Heading in her direction I caught the eye of everyone in the room. When I got close to her, I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.

“I’m sorry, Buck. I didn’t mean for all of this to happen,” she cried.

“It’s all good. I believe you. You of all people should know if I didn’t, you wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

“He hates me.” she sniffed.

“Nah, he doesn’t. He’s just acting like me right now.” I smirked. That caused her to simper.

“Hey, girl,” Goldie spoke, followed by Mel.

I pulled Goldie to me. “I’ll be back when I’m finished with this nigga. Don’t get too drunk.” I kissed her. “Better yet, get fucked up.” I slapped her ass and told Stacks to bring his ass. Once they were settled, we piled in my truck and headed to his club.

“You good, bro?” I asked, glancing between him and the road.

“Yeah. I’m straight.”
