Laughing lowly, I decided to entertain her conversation a little while I got dressed. “Oh, now you wanna talk? Where were these vibes when you were off inviting this nigga to my fuckin’ daughter’s party? He ain’t give us one red cent on that shit! I told you not to fuckin’ talk to the nigga no more, but he was there, as if his bum ass belonged!”
For a second she sat there not saying anything. “It wasn’t like that baby. He tried to spin it to you as if I called him up and extended an invitation. I went by my old house to check the mailbox this morning and he was there. He begged me to see Jarae and I turned him down. He wouldn’t let me in the car until I told him I had to leave because of her party, and I guess he sort of invited himself. He must have followed me there, yougotta believe that I’d never disrespect you like that, I asked him to leave when you walked off.”
I had heard enough; she didn’t even tell me she saw this nigga this morning. This is why I was single before her; females are sneaky as fuck man.
“Watch out, Tiomi, for real man. I got some shit to handle.”
“Like what, Jawan?”
“Businessman, this is the last time I’m actually going to ask you to move. I’mma just move your little ass out my way if you don’t get the fuck out the way.”
She wasn’t used to me fussing at her spoiled ass, so she started crying. A nigga don’t give a fuck though. I got too much shit on my plate to be worried about her doing shit that I asked her not to do behind my back. Cutting her losses, she got the fuck out of my way and I bounced.
Pulling up to Lust, I ignored another one of Tio’s calls. She’s been calling me since I left the house, probably because I didn't tell her where I was going, but shid she ain’t tell me she was going to that fuckin’ house earlier so I’m just reciprocating that energy. I had to get the fuck away from her and clear my head.
Yeah, I believed she didn't invite the nigga, but she should’ve never had a conversation with his ass to begin with. I told her not to take her ass back to that house anyway, matter fact I was gonna give the nigga his keys back and do her change of address my got damn self. Fuck I look like having my bitch shit go to that nigga house? Once I entered the section, I went straight to the table to pour a shot. I threw the first one back and poured another.
“Got damn, nigga. That shit ain’t going nowhere, slow the fuck down,” Shad said after I poured the third one.
Waving him off I took that one too and said, “I need it my nigga, Tio gone make me kill her lil’ sneaky ass.”
He shook his head. “Yeah, I peeped your demeanor at the party, you good now though?” he asked, and I nodded.
“This nigga Romeo don’t know how to follow simple instructions. I told him to stay the fuck away, but he shows up at my baby shit. Then she gives me this bullshit story about him potentially following her from the old house. I just had to leave before I said some shit I might regret later, because I specifically told her ass to stay the fuck off from around that house.”
“Yeah, that shit wild, but you gotta talk to her man. Tiomi a good girl, don’t get drunk in here in and fuck your shit up.”
“You of all people know I don’t got shit for these hoes. Ain’t nobody gone play her stupid ass, I just needed to chill off her ass for a second.”
“Heard you. Let me go find somebody daughter to take home, hit me if you need me,” he said before dapping me off and disappearing in the sea of people.
Sitting back in my chair, I let the liquor start to take its course and pulled out a pre rolled blunt to take to the head. I didn’t wanna stay out too long, no matter how mad I am, I’mma take my ass home to my girl and my baby.
An hour later, I got up to take a piss before I headed out. Common sense would have told me to go in Shad’s office to use the bathroom, but I said fuck it and went to the one on the way out. I didn’t even get in the door good before this lil’ thick ass shorty, with this cold ass haircut forced her way into the bathroom with me.
“Aye shorty you got the wrong one, this is the men’s room.” Strutting the rest of the way into my personal space she ran her hand down my chest.
“Naw, I think I have the right room. I been watching you all night, waiting for a chance to get you alone.”Knocking her hand off me and going to one of the urinals, I responded to her.
“Waiting on me? I been by myself all night. And I got a bitch baby girl, you don’t even want the problems that come along with her.” Shaking and walking to the sink I washed my hands so I could get the fuck outta here.
“Fuck your girlfriend, I just want some dick. What she don’t know won’t hurt her.” Drying my hands, I looked at her one last time before I tossed my paper towel and addressed her.
“Watch your mouth when you referring to my bitch shorty, I told you that before. Truthfully whether I had her or not, the only thing I’d let you do is eat my kids from time to time. Watch out.”
Pushing her out the way, I made my way outta the bathroom, then the club to take my ass the fuck home. That hoe had trouble written all over her and them were problems a nigga ain’t need.
CHAPTER
EIGHT
Tiomi
Things had been weird between me and Jawan at home. He wasn’t really speaking to me, only when it was necessary. He was gone by the time I got up in the mornings, but he was always home to have dinner with Rae and me, give her a bath, then he was gone again.
He wasn’t sleeping in the room with me, only coming in there to get clothes and toiletries. I really didn't know what to think at this point. Star and Chy had met me at Applebee’s so we could have lunch. Star had finally let us know that she was moving back to Miami, and her brother was breathing better.
“I don't know what to do y’all. I explained to him that I didn't invite Romeo to her party. I would never disrespect him like that. I'll admit he asked me not to go back to that house without him, but I’ve been waiting on my stuff for school to come.” Star gave me a sympathetic look because she knows how her brother is.
