I chuckled as I cleaned out his bowl. “Naw, man. They’re grown-ups. We’ll probably go see PaPa and Nana Shana though.”
“Okay!” he said excitedly. “Am I changing clothes?”
“Yep. We’ll put what you have on in your backpack so you can change later. I’m sure PaPa will be outside with the animals.”
“I can’t wait!”
I chuckled, then brought him to the room to get his face cleaned up and his clothes changed so we could make our way to Nome.
Ashanni answered the door with a huge smile on her face. She was so damn beautiful. Her presence wowed me every single time. From her perfectly made-up face to the clothes she wore. All of it embellished her natural beauty. She had thick legs that left me drooling, and she never minded showing those stilts of perfection off. She was every bit of five feet eight inches and was about the same complexion as me. Her curves left a nigga dizzy and had proven to be highly addictive.
“Hey, baby!”
I smiled hard and bit my bottom lip, then kissed her lips. “Hey, Shani.”
She stooped to hug Jay and that lil nigga puckered his lips. Ashanni’s eyebrows lifted as she glanced up at me. She gave him her cheek, then kissed his. “Hey, suga.”
“Hi, Miss Shani.”
I frowned as I stared at him. “You tryna steal my woman?”
He looked up at me and laughed. “Daddy, she’s too old for me. She can be my second mama like Nana Shana is your second mama.”
Aww hell.I didn’t respond to him, because I didn’t want to have to explain that Ashanni and I hadn’t been in a relationship long enough for that yet. Her face had reddened slightly. I grabbed her hand as she cleared her throat.
“Come on to the back, y’all. That’s where everyone is.”
I nodded as I watched her ass sway in the tight ass jeans she wore. All that ass was one of my weaknesses. When she had that thang on display, I constantly had to think about random shit to keep my dick in place. I wanted her so fucking bad. I really wished she would have stayed with me last night.
Once we got to the family room, Mr. Jasper stood from his seat. He glanced down at Jay, and when we approached, he spoke to him first. “What’s up, lil man? I’m Jasper, Ashanni’s dad.”
Jay glanced up at me, and I said, “Mister Jasper.”
Mr. Jasper nodded his head repeatedly, as Jay said, “Hi, Mister Jasper.”
He shook his hand, then shook mine. “How you doing, Asad?”
“I’m good. How about you?”
“I’m pretty good. Y’all have a seat.”
Ashanni sat next to us as Mrs. Chasity joined us, introducing herself to Jay. They were watching a rodeo on TV, so it was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, Mr. Jasper said, “I knew his ass was gonna be there!”
He laughed, and I realized it was Mr. Legend that he was talking about. Ashanni slid her hand to mine, and I couldn’t help but stare at her. I swore I could get lost in her. When she cleared her throat and looked away, Mr. Jasper chuckled.
“Asad, I was asking if you and Jayceon ate fresh pork,” Mrs. Chasity asked.
“I’m sorry. Yes, ma’am. Red is my dad. It’s not much you can miss me on. Jay will try anything once, but he eats fresh pork. Y’all had a hog butchered?” I asked.
“Kenny did, but he shares the wealth,” Mr. Jasper added.
I nodded. When one of Ashanni’s brothers entered the room, I stood from my seat. She stood as well, and said, “Asad, this is my youngest brother, Crew. Crew, this is my boyfriend, Asad. Mister Red is his dad.”
“What’s up? I’ve seen you around,” he said.
We shook hands as I nodded. “Yeah, I’ve definitely seen you around.”
He sat on the other side of the sectional as we tuned in to the rodeo again. Mrs. Chas got up and went to the kitchen as Mr. Jasper said, “I remember you were into sports. You still doing that?”
