Page 48 of What You Do To Me
My gut was telling me that it has something to do with Jawan and if it does I ain’t promising shit. Chy knows that I’m definitely going to flip my shit, hell so does Star. All she did was sigh and drop her head.
“I saw Jawan in Lust last night.”
Dropping my fork, I drew my head back and asked for clarification.
“I’m sorry, you saw who? Where?”
“Mi—" I cut her off.
“No fuck that, don’t Mimi me. YOU SAW WHO, WHERE?” I asked in an elevated voice.
“Jawan was out friend. I didn’t get a chance to approach him because he was gone just as quick as he came. Hell, I haven’t even really spoke to Shad.”
I let my eyes travel the room until they locked with Darren’s.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know what he has going on Tio, but?—”
I held my hand up to stop him from talking. He wasn’t saying shit I wanted to hear. I stood up and made my way out of thekitchen. I was about to find out where his no-good ass was and go show the fuck out. I kept my cool while I was downstairs with Ma and Granny, but as soon as I got up to the room with my phone I was physically shaking. I called his phone three times only getting the voicemail, so I made a call to Tech.
“To what do I owe the pleasure, Mrs. Jones?” he answered.
“I need you to tell me where my husband is right now.” Fuck all the pleasantries.
“You know I ca?—”
“No! I know you can. You better tell me right now Tech or I’ll tell Janelle all about the bachelor party.” He was quiet for a moment, then my phone vibrated with a notification.
“Thought so. Have a good day.”
Hanging up the phone, I grabbed my purse and headed back down the steps.
“Granny, I need you and Ma to keep an eye on the girls for me. Me, Chy and Star are going to step out for like an hour or two.”
“Sure, we have them. Is everything okay?”
“Yes ma’am.”
I answered her sweetly although it was everything but okay. Satisfied with my answer she dismissed us, and we headed to Star’s Mercedes. I was pissed knowing this nigga dumped me and his kids off and left us at his grandma’s house to live out of a fucking duffle bag while he went out to live his best life. It didn’t take us any time to get to the barber shop, which was the location that Tech had sent me. I barely let Star stop the car before I hopped out.
When I stepped through the door of the shop everything and everybody stopped. Jawan was sitting his big ugly ass in his own chair laughing it up until he turned in his seat and his eyes met mine. His once there smile was now a thing of the past.
“Baby what you doing up here? Where the girls at?”
He looked past me as if I brought my kids to see his tired ass. He stood from his seat and made his way over to where I was. The moment he attempted to touch me I snatched away from him.
“Don’t you dare fucking touch me Jawan Jones,” I gritted out.
He let his eyes roam the room and connect with a few of the people’s that were looking on, he then let his gaze drop to mine.
“Yo what the fuck is your problem? Matter fact come in the office right quick.”
He turned to move in that direction, and I didn’t budge. When he looked back over his shoulder, he noticed that I wasn’t moving with him, he stopped as well.
“Tiomi you don’t wanna really play this game with me ma, and you know it. Move, NOW!”
My feet were planted, and my arms were folded underneath my breast. He had been gone for days and thought that he was going to come back and start boss in me the fuck around. Moving back in my direction, he mugged me until he was close enough to whisper in my ear.
“Unless you want me to nut the fuck up on your stupid ass, I’d suggest you start moving your fuckin’ feet.” He didn’t even give me a chance to respond before he walked away.
