“Disneyland, but yeah, we did. Fuck does that have to do with anything?”
“Nothing, man.” He grinned. “I’m just asking your ol’ domesticated ass.”
“Shut the fuck up, man.” I laughed. “That was a part of the deal to get Lani and the kids to come with me last time, this time I’m getting paid to go and shit. I know Jocey wants to go again.”
“Speaking of, I got my princess some new shit for them li’l dolls she plays with. Remind me to get it for you when we get back to Crescent Falls.”
“You went in the American Girl store?” I smiled big.
“Yeah man.” He sank down in his seat a little more. “She be asking me for shit and it’s hard to tell her no.”
“Facts,” I agreed, knowing how tightly her little ass had me wrapped around her finger with those big pretty eyes and that pretty ass smile.
The rest of our flight was spent with me, my cousin, and my uncle making idle chit chat. Clubbing and drinking weren’t really my thing when I had a fight coming up, but my cousin wasbeing a pest. I normally spent the night before my fight relaxing and getting myself prepared, but after checking in and going to the weigh-in, I caved and agreed to step out with Dominique’s ignorant ass.
He was always in the streets and shit, but because he owned and operated one of the most popular spots in Crescent Falls, he’d rubbed elbows with some other club owners. So that landed us inside of a popular strip club. I turned him down at first, but my pops telling me that I needed to be in the room like I was a little ass boy rubbed me wrong, so I said fuck it and went to the strip club. Now I was only praying that Kehlani didn’t find out. It wasn’t that I thought she would be mad or no shit, I just really didn’t need her thinking that I needed shit like this. She was more than enough for me.
I didn’t intend to go too hard tonight. The plan was to just have a drink with my cousin since time was slim for us these days and just chill and enjoy the music. Two hours tops was the maximum amount of time I planned to be out.
“Bro, ain’t no way in hell,” Dominique said as he tapped my shoulder and pointed.
Following the direction of his finger, I groaned noticing Kecia making her way through the crowd.
How the fuck she even know I was here?
“Hey, baby.” She grinned as she got closer.
I had to stiff arm her when she leaned in to try and kiss me considering that I was seated. I didn’t know what type of time she was on, but she had me fucked up. I was pissed because we were supposed to be lowkey tonight and this hoe had found me. I’d made sure to let management know that I wanted to remain on the low, but they clearly didn’t do their job.
“Chill.” I pushed her lightly when she tried to take a seat in my lap. “What are you doing here?”
“Well, I knew it was your first big fight, so I came to support you like I always do.”
“Kecia, don’t play with me man, why are you here?”
“Your dad,” she answered after a few seconds and I chuckled. “What? He said you were here alone, so I figured that I?—”
“You figured wrong, baby.” I cut her off and once again knocked her hands off of me. “I don’t know what’s not registering about me number one, having a wife and number two, not being interested.”
“Since when are you not interested in me?” she questioned with her attitude on ten grabbing the attention of some other patrons around us.
“Ay, you need to calm the fuck down.” I frowned.
“Fuck that and fuck you, Javyous!” She looked me up and down, clearly offended. “You got with this bougie ass bitch out of nowhere and think you can play me and Zoey now.”
“Naw, you and Zoey playing your fucking selves by continuously coming around me when I said shit was a wrap. I was generous about the way I went about it initially, but I see that ain’t the shit y’all appreciate, so a nigga got to get disrespectful with y’all.” I took a couple steps closer to eliminate the space between us and leaned down so I could be closer to her ear. “Stay the fuck from around me and watch your fucking mouth when it comes to my girl. I don’t know where the fuck you lost your mind, but I suggest you retrace your steps and go find it because you definitely have me fucked up.”
My night was officially ruined and I was done with the conversation, so I stood to my full height and turned to leave. She caught me by the forearm before I got too far and said, “JV, wait, your dad?—”
I cut her off and snatched away. “Kecia, I don’t give no fucks what that nigga said. Since y’all talking so much, go find himand get on his fucking nerves. I’m sure he has more than enough room on his team for you.”
Not giving her a chance to respond, I continued out of the club with my cousin in tow. She could either get with the program or not, but either way she had better heed my fucking warning and move the fuck around.

Kehlani
Why are his movements so sluggish?
