Page 12 of What You Do To Me
It didn’t take me long to pull up to the hotel that my sister thought that she was going to be staying at. She only stayed at one place when she was in town with that bitch ass nigga, but it would be different this time. Granny doesn’t get to see her often, so I was going to ensure that she spent as much time as she wanted to with Star while she was in town. I bribed the hoe at the front desk with the promise of good dick and a date to give me the room number and key because I knew my stubborn ass sister wouldn’t do it. She did everything in her power to protect her hoe ass husband, so she kept him as far from me as possible.
When I was outside of the door, I hesitated on just barging into her personal space. I didn’t want to see my sister naked or no shit like that and I would murder that nigga if I caught them fuckin’ so I slipped the keycard back into my pocket and knocked on the door. It didn’t take long for the locks to turn and the doorto slightly open. I sucked my teeth when I saw it was Darren peeking from behind the door.
“We’re kind of busy. I’ll have her call you when we’re done.”
I chuckled and pushed my way into the room. “Nigga go get my sister; the fuck is you talking about?”
He walked away mumbling but doing exactly what I said because he was a hundred percent aware of what these hands could do and how this trigger finger itched. I stood in the living room area with my hands stuffed in my pockets waiting on my sister. She finally surfaced pulling her robe tighter and the sleep still very evident in her face. When she was close enough, I pulled her in my arms and kissed the top of her head.
“What’s good kid?”
“Hey you,” she cooed.
I smiled down at her. My sister was my everything and it always put me in a good mood when I could lay my eyes on her. It was short lived when her husband stepped back into the room, my attitude came barreling back in.
“Why the fuck are you staying at this hotel, Star? Granny been happy as fuck about you coming back home, how you think it made her feel when you decided to stay here over her crib?”
“JJ,” she sighed out. “I talked to Granny and she knows and understands why I’m here at the hotel instead of staying with her. I didn’t come alone, and I want him to be comfortable as well.”
She avoided eye contact with me because she knew that I knew her and could see straight through any bullshit excuse she gave me.
“Well, that doesn’t work for me. Get your shit and come on. I got plenty of space and so does Granny. If her spending time with you makes her happy then that’s what it’s going to be.”
She looked back at Darren, who also refused to look at me, but he was mugging the fuck out of my sister.
“You got a fuckin’ eye problem my nigga?” I asked taking a couple steps until I was in his personal space. He was shaking his head from side to side.
“No, Jawan. I just think?—"
“I didn’t ask you what you think nigga. I said my fuckin sister is staying with me or Granny while she’s here and that’s exactly what’s going to fuckin’ happen.” I cut him off. I didn’t give one fuck about what he was talking about. “Where you stay and what you do ain’t my business, but you can bet your last dollar I know where she will be.”
“Okay, JJ. Just let me get some of my things and talk to Darren. I’ll be down in a second,” Star spoke up as she wedged her body in between us, pushing me back a little. I dropped my gaze from his to hers and my face softened.
I nodded before I kissed her cheek. “Aight, you got that, but get all your shit because you’re not coming back. And he better carry your shit to my car or I'mma beat his ass,” I said that last part with my eyes on him again.
I turned to leave the room and head back down to my car. That nigga ain’t got no spine and he don’t deserve my sister, but she loves his bitch ass so I usually let him live.
Today came fast as fuck, it’s my baby’s first birthday and her mother spared no expense. Since Rae’s birthday is in October we went ahead and did a costume party for her. It was only right. The only thing that has me tight right now is the fact that Tio made me dress up too. I was cool with paying for everything, cool with being here, cool with doing everything that she asked, but I made it very clear that I didn’t wanna dress the fuck up, but here I am, dressed like Fred Flintstone.
Tio thought it would be nice for us to wear family costumes, so here I am. I was adamant all morning about being my damn self at this party, but she put that good pussy on a nigga, knowing I’d agree to damn near anything when I was in that gold mine.
“Come on, Babe, I want the photographer to get pictures of all of us together.” Groaning at her request, I got up. My cheeks hurt from all the smiling I’ve done today, between her and Star, a nigga done took a million pictures. My baby was enjoying herself though. I don’t think she’s use to this excitement. She only be around her family. I had my guys bring their kids out though and the girls she works with to bring theirs, so the turnout was good.
Everything was almost perfect ‘til her bitch ass baby daddy showed up. He must’ve really thought I was playing the last time that I said to stay the fuck away from them. He was approaching me and Tio with a gift in his hand. One funky ass gift. He ain't contributed nothing to her wellbeing or this party, but he decided to show up here today, with some cheap ass toy I’m sure. When he got in earshot, I was the first to speak up.
“What you hard of hearing or something my nigga? I told you to stay the fuck from ‘round them.”
Putting his hands in the air in mock surrender, he replied, “I didn't come to cause problems, Grim. Mimi told me that she was having a party for her today, so I just wanted to bring her a gift, that’s it.”
Tiomi told him? I know I wasn’t hearing him correctly. That would imply that my bitch deliberately went against what I said. When I looked down at her she wouldn’t even make eye contact with me, probably because she knew she was dead ass wrong. Instead of showing my ass like I wanted to, I kissed her forehead and went to find Rae, I’d deal with her sneaky ass later. If I stayed in their presence, I was gonna kill both of they asses.
I did everything I could to stay away from Tio throughout the party, only allowing her in my space when she had to be. I could tell that she was in her feelings about the shit, but I didn’t have one fuck to give. I didn’t like the underhanded shit. That hoe ass nigga wasn’t doing anything for Jarae, so he damn sure didn’t deserve to be sitting in here.
After we sang happy birthday and I gifted Rae a Beemer that matched the one I recently gifted her mother, I went outside to smoke. I needed to get my mind off the shit with Romeo and Tio. I snuck out without any of them noticing me because I wanted to be alone and didn’t feel like explaining the shit to anybody.
The party was finally over, and we were in the car headed to the house. Well, they were, I still couldn't stand to be in the presence of Tio, so I was gonna go link with Shad at Lust. Once Rae was bathed and in bed, I went to our room to get dressed where Tiomi was sitting on the bed looking like a sad ass child but fuck her.
“So, we’re not talking, Jawan? Everybody at the party could sense your attitude, you were standoffish, and it was apparent.”
