Page 46 of What You Do To Me
“Aight pretty girl, Daddy got you,” I patted her back to calm her little ass down. I traveled towards the kitchen where I’m sure Granny was because I smelled whatever she was in there cooking.
“What’s good Granny?” I kissed her cheek. “What’s up Ms. Cheryl?” I extended the same greeting to Chy’s mom.
“Hey, JJ. What are y’all over here feeding this baby? Seems like she’s grown over night!” She took Lae out of my arms.
“Yeah, her itty-bitty ass be on the titty all day it seems like.” Granny cut her eyes in my direction. “But where Tio go, Ma?”
“Upstairs,” she answered without looking at me. They were so occupied with Jalae, so she no longer gave a damn about my presence. I journeyed up the steps to my old room because I was sure that’s where she was. As soon as I entered the room, she rolled her eyes and ended her call.
“Who was that?”
“Where are you going to be staying?”
“Tiomi.”
“Grim.”
She was mad. I understood why, but I also needed her to understand my decision. I gave into her needs yesterday, but this is something that needed to be handled.
“Baby, give me a break. I gave you what you wanted last night. You and the girls needed me, and I was there.”
“Why can’t you just leave this shit alone? We have money. More than we know what to do with at times. Me and your kids need you here with us Jawan more than the streets need you.”
“And I’m here Tio. I’m going to be here. The shit that I got in motion is going to set our grandkids’ grandkids straight. In afew months I’ma be here with y’all full time, I just need you to be patient with me and work with me.”
“Fine,” she rolled her eyes. “But you owe me. I get whatever I ask you for, no negotiation.”
As bad as I didn’t want to agree to that, I didn’t really have much of a choice.
“You got it babe. I’m about to get out of here. I love y’all,” I placed three soft kisses on her lips and headed out. I hope RJ had his affairs in order because I was going to fuck his world up soon and very soon.
Shad and I were currently sitting outside of the spot that RJ had been frequenting. I’ve been in Mexico for three days and I still haven’t saw him come in or out of this muhfucka. It seemed like every time I got one step closer to him, I was knocked back ten.
“You sure the nigga here? Ain’t been no movement at this muhfucka, we been sitting on this spot for days.”
I took another long pull from the blunt that I was smoking and kept my eyes on the building that was rumored to have housed RJ since he was released from prison. His father was one of the wealthiest men in Mexico and he was laying up in the slums.
“I don’t know, I couldn’t chance not coming though.”
“Naw I feel it, but now we’re just sitting ducks. I say we take care of the niggas that we got at the warehouse and take our asses home. Chy mad as a muhfucka with me, so I can only imagine what sis is feeling.”
He showed me his text thread of all of the many messages that Cheyenne has sent him since we’d been gone. I didn’t even need to see it though because I had an equal amount, if notmore, messages from my girl. She was not happy with me right now, but I would worry about that later. It was hard as fuck being away from them and I hated to ignore my baby girls many FaceTimes, but I had to be focused. All I could do was pray that Tiomi would be understanding.
Yeah, right.
I started the engine to the car we were sitting in and pulled away from the apartment, heading in the direction of my warehouse. I had already requested that someone replaced us here. There was no way I was willing to let this muhfucka potentially slip away.
It didn’t take us long to make it to the warehouse where I had the muhfuckas that thought it was okay to cross me. I couldn’t understand how niggas that I been making sure was straight since we jumped off the porch would do me dirty, but it didn’t even matter at this point, I was about to teach every single one of the muhfuckas that work for me that I’m not to be played with and my family definitely ain’t to be toyed with. Shit fucked with me every day thinking about how it could have been worse, it could have been one of my girls.
When we made it inside, we went straight to the room where the disloyal muhfuckas were being kept. I looked at all three of them tied to the chairs they were sitting in, barely hanging on to life.
“Why? I made sure each and every one of y’all were good. Paid y’all more than enough to care for your families, and this is the payment I get?”
“Come on Grim man, he threatened to kill my girl and kid. It was a mistake, please man, my family needs me.” One of them begged and it pissed me off.
“And my fucking family don’t nigga? What the fuck would you or your family have if it wasn’t for me?”
“Nothing but let me—" he was silenced by a bullet to the head. I whipped my head around in Shad’s direction and he shrugged.
