Page 66 of Love's Most Wanted
The rest of the brothers watched with wide eyes and mouths, some shaking their heads at me and sizing me up a little bit in shock. Aurora was too, but I could see a sliver of happiness like she’d finally gotten rid of my ass.
“Not Teyaira Junior!” Uncut—Khari, which felt weird to call him—hollered in distress. “Lequay, this yo’ damn fault!”
“How?” his brother replied, confused. I couldn’t even pay too much attention to them because I was afraid and ashamed.
“Anastazia, I am sorry for disrespecting you, your home, and your relationship.” I swallowed hard. I didn’t want to, but I was afraid of what Asif would do.
I had never seen a man this angry over something like this. It was a quiet angry, too, the scariest one. He truly felt offended—you could see it in his face and body language—and I didn’t know how to take that because I was fine as hell.
“Oh, and make no mistake. No matter the location, that shit was never gon’ fly,” Asif let me know, and I didn’t think I could be any more ashamed than I was. I couldn’t pick my head up for anything.
“Let’s go.” Unique waved for me to follow him, barging through his brothers, who began rushing to Asif and Stazi to get more intel, I assumed.
“I hope you can fight,” Analicia said.
“You seen me on social media.” I looked her up down, hoping she told her sister about me so she wouldn’t get fucked up.
I kept walking but felt a hard push that almost sent me to the floor. When I whipped around, ready to go at it, all the ladies stood together, making it hard for me to tell which of them was the culprit. I had a feeling it was Analicia, trying to do some slick shit for her sister, but I couldn’t tell.
Realizing getting my man back was more important, I waved them hos off and rushed out after Unique and Aurora.
I hopped in the car as Unique started it as if he was about to leave. That stupid bitch Aurora had taken my seat up front.
“This is insane,” she commented as he sped out on two wheels. I didn’t think I’d ever seen Unique mad, and it was quite frightening.
“Baby, I swear they got the wrong impression. I only apologized because I don’t wanna have no issues with your people,” I lied, peering through the two front seats of his plush Range Rover. When he didn’t say anything, I continued. “Baby? I’m serious. I love you. Why would I try to fuck your brother? He is lying.”
That last sentence seemed to do something to him because he blew the hell up.
“Why the fuck would I believe you over a nigga who don’ had my back since I was a fucking kid!” he roared, making both Aurora and me jolt. I damn near crawled back into the corner of the back seat as Unique’s eyes seemed to darken as if he were possessed. “And don’t you ever in life fix yo’ mouth to call my brother a muthafuckin’ liar again, bitch.”
Bitch? I’d been called a bitch twice tonight and by men I never heard call women that. It made me feel low. I understood it with Asif, but Unique was supposed to have more love for me.
I couldn’t think of anything to say because it was foolish to think Unique would believe me over his brother, especially when his brother was being truthful.
The rest of the ride was silent with both Aurora and I stealing looks at a fuming Unique. He drove like a madman, making me buckle up so I wouldn’t fly through the windshield randomly.
I didn’t even get why he was this mad when he was clearly about to drop me.
Seemingly like he was reading my mind, he shook his head with a sigh and said, “I ain’t even tripping off you trying to get fucked ’cause I was ’bout to leave yo’ ass anyway. But the fact that you had the nerve to do that shit in his fucking house with his girl and kids is what got me hot. You a real-life ho with no fucking respect or morals.”
His statement made me feel like shit, just like Asif’s. I hadn’t thought about any of that. I saw an opportunity to make a move on him and kill two birds with one stone—fulfill my fantasy of fucking Asif and hurt Unique.
But the fact that not only did I not accomplish anything but got embarrassed, plus Unique didn’t even give a damn, made me feel terrible.
He pulled up to the home we lived in, and we all climbed out. I let him get some steps ahead of me, not sure how he would act out.
“Nique—”
“Pack yo’ shit up. Unicorn looking ass.” He cut me off, mumbling the latter half.
His comment made me peer into the mirror by the front door as Aurora snickered. I saw the brush Anastazia hit me with had made a huge ass knot form on my head. The shit hurt badly as fuck, so I didn’t know why I didn’t think a knot would be there.
That bitch Anastazia had better hope we didn’t cross paths because I was beating her ass for this shit.
I touched the knot lightly, then winced at how painful it was.
“Baby, I don’t have anywhere to go!” I called out, following him up the stairs.
