“I’m gon’ be home the whole weekend.” I chuckled. “Big Ma gon’ be there if I need her to look out and shit.”

“Me too.” Trell agreed. “My mama and Yatta gon’ be at my house.”

“Nigga wanna shack up at my shit because he don’ had all them fuckin’ kids, his wife leavin’, and our parents on a cruise.” A5 laughed. “Better stay up out that pussy my boy.”

“Fuck you, bruh.” Rio laughed. “I can handle my kids, but realisticallynoneof us have had to really tend to them on our own for days. I was just tryna help.”

“Naw, nigga you trynaget some help.” His brother teased. “And to think you tryna have another one.”

“Facts, nigga.” He knocked his brothers hand down. “Keep her ass barefoot and pregnant if I can.”

“I can’t lie.” I agreed. “I just told Kenya I wanted another baby.”

“I know Yaya’s mean ass said fuck naw.” Trell laughed.

“Naw, nigga, she didn’t.” I chuckled. “Fuck you mean?”

“We do all be wonderin’ who wear the pants in y’all relationship though.” A5 leaned up, shuffling the deck of cards on the table in front of him. “Baby was mean as a rattle snake. I can’t see her ass turning that shit off.”

“Mean for no mothafuckin’ reason.” Rio laughed. “I remember the first time I met her, she gon’ tell me to get the fuck out of her sister crib so they could talk. I was like ‘who the fuck is this young man?’” He laughed.

“G, don’t play with me.” I playfully jabbed at him.

“Naw, dead ass though.” Trell laughed. “When she let that deadly ass snake just roam her fuckin’ salon freely, I knew sis was off her rocker. That’s why I don’t let Italy take Rome upthere like that. I ain’t tryna kill my sister-in-law or do I call her my cousin in law?”

“Man what in the hill billy shit?” A5 cackled and so did everyone else.

“Fuck y’all.” I laughed. “Let me set the record straight for y’all ignorant asses.Irun my fuckin’ house. Kenya a boss. I love that shit about her. We built some solid shit off vibes for real. She got a mouth on her and an attitude out this world without a doubt, but all of that shit shaped her into the woman that I love and the one I’m ‘bout to fuckin’ marry, so y’all niggas be cool and watch ya mouths when it comes to my lady, aight?” I playfully warned them. “I love y’all and all, but I’m steppin’ on shit ‘bout my girl. Feel me?”

“Aight, cuz, we got it.” Trell lifted his hands in mock surrender and grinned. “Don’t hurt nobody.”

“I fuck with Yaya, G.” Hulk finally chimed in. “She solid as fuck.”

“No cap.” Tiny agreed. “That’s my G for real.”

“Ay Rio, I can invite some hoes over?” Zed asked when he approached. When we got out to come to the back, he stayed behind because he was on the phone.

Rio frowned. “Some hoes? And get me murdered? Fuck no, nigga. My girl and kids in the crib.”

“And we supposed to be talkin’ about this niggas bachelor party, G.” Hulk pointed at me.

“Exactly, that means my boy has to participate in as much irresponsible sin as he can until his big day. I lined up some good ones too.” Zed grabbed my shoulder and I shook his ass off of me.

“G, I ain’t participatin’ in that shit! I’m literally ‘bout to get married. I don’t want or need no fuckin’ hoes to come through for that. If I want some pussy, I’m gon’ take my ass home and get the shit. Fuck is you on, G?”

“Come on man, this shit right here is how you can tell if you want to spend the rest of ya life with one bitch, or?—”

“Call my girl another bitch.” I cut him off and rose from my seat.

“I wasn’t meaning it like that, G.”

“I don’t give a fuck how you was meanin’ the shit. Watch yo’ mothafuckin’ mouth or get hit in the shit.” I warned. “And I don’t need to fuck mad bitches to know if I want to be with my girl for the rest of my life. Shit’s already stamped. I know that shit because she the first person I think of when I get up in the morning and the last thing on my mind before I carry my ass to sleep, despite her laying right next to me. Kenyaisthe rest of my life, feel me? If you lined some hoes up, take ‘em to yo’ spot and entertain them because it ain’t happenin’ over here, G. Not now, not ever. Capeesh?”

“Aight, G.” He chuckled awkwardly.

“Gon’ head and bounce, Zed.” Rio instructed.

“Bounce?” he repeated. “I rode with them though.” He pointed to me, Tiny and Hulk.
