You have been since the day I met you, now bye.
I went ahead and blocked his number so that he couldn’t text me back. I was already in an ill mood; I didn’t need his incompetent ass adding to it. I knew he was going to be mad when he learned that I had brought the twins with me to Vegas, and I also knew I could have maybe talked to him about it, but all he was going to be focused on what I had going on, so I said fuck it. I’d deal with him when I got home.
Tossing my phone to the side, I left the room to find the twins in the living room area on the couch with Javyous watching TV. I rolled my eyes and turned on the balls of my feet to go back to the room. I needed to get myself together to take the kids out. Celeste was due to arrive soon, so I wanted to hurry and get dressed.
I decided to go with a black and white Fashion Nova set that would match my Panda Dunks. I dressed Si and Jocey in matching Nike sets and the same shoes.
Once I was dressed, I left the room and entered the bathroom and brushed my hair into a slick ponytail. We were going to lunch at Tournament of Kings where they served lunch and put on a Medieval show. After that we were going to go to Circus Circus so that they could run around and play.
Celeste appeared in the doorway as I applied my lip gloss.
“Hey, bestie,” she squealed, coming inside to give me a hug.
“Hey, girl.”
“Uh uhn, why are you so dry?” she asked, pulling back to look at me.
“It’s nothing, girl. Pharaoh was texting me and?—”
“Chi, fuck Pharaoh’s tired ass,” she spat, cutting me off. “His tired ass was in DayLux with Khia’s bad wig wearing ass yesterday.”
“And on my line this morning complaining about me bringing the kids here with ol’ boy.”
“Ol’ boy?” she repeated confused. “Like yourhusbandol’ boy?”
Scoffing, I tossed my edge brush on the counter and started out of the bathroom with her following close behind me into the bedroom. Leaning across the bed, I grabbed my phone and tossed it into the bag that had all of the twins’ necessities before heading out. I knew Celeste had a million questions, but I didn’t want to talk about it right now. She might actually go in there and jump on Javyous if I did.
“Si, Jocey, time to go,” I called out to grab their attention.
“Damn cuz, it’s like that?” Dominique asked.
“Hey, Nique,” I said with a smile. He hadn’t done anything to deserve my attitude and I actually liked him a little.
“Where are y’all going?”
My smile dropped when Javyous started talking to me.
“Out.”
“Kehlani…”
“Come on, Celeste.”
I started for the door with Jocey’s hand in mine, Celeste had Messiah’s.
“Byeeeee, JV!” Jocey waved over her shoulder. “See you later.”
“See you soon, Princess.”
“Later, JV.” Si tossed his hand over his shoulder.
I could hear Dominique asking him what was going on with us before the door closed. The two security guards that had escorted us to the matches and pool were waiting for us outside of the door, so we followed them to the elevator.
I had called ahead to have a car waiting on us so we wouldn’t have to wait.
“Hey, Ms. Phyllis!” Jocey shouted across the lobby.
Ms. Phyllis was headed inside the casino when Jocey grabbed her attention. She looked our way and smiled before walking over followed by an older version of Javyous.
