Page 49 of What You Do To Me
Unfortunately, I obeyed his order this time and began to walk behind him. As bad as I wanted to be defiant, I knew better, and that bald headed hoe was watching us with a smirk on her face. I wanted nothing more than to knock it right off.
As soon as the door to his office closed and he faced me I smacked the shit out of him. He didn’t react that time, so I raised my hand to do it again and he caught my wrist.
“Tiomi hit me again and I’ma snap your wrist yo. What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“You! You’re what the fuck is wrong with me. Are you out of your mind? How the fuck could you, Jawan?”
“How could I what? I ain’t did shit!”
“You dropped me and the girls off and forgot we existed. For four whole fucking days Jawan Jones we lived out of a fuckin’ bag. Then you out at the fuckin’ club and shit. Weren’t you the one that told me that I’m a wife and mother before anything? Does that not apply to you just as much as it does me? Your child has been crying herself to sleep every night for you! Were we not even worth a phone call?”
The tears had started. Not because I was sad. Well, I was kind of sad, but more so because I was pissed.
“I literally put my all into this relationship Grim, and you run around doing whatever it is that you please. If you don’t want this then you need to say that so I can move the fuck around to find a nigga that wants me and my kids.”
He quickly moved in my direction with a deep scowl on his face. “So, you can do what my nigga?” he closed all the space that was between us. “Say that shit again. I fuckin’ dare you to let that shit slip past your teeth again.” He was so close to my face that our noses were touching. “That’s what the fuck I thought.”
I was no fool. I knew how far to go with him. I knew damn well that I wasn’t going to repeat that shit again. Hell, I was terrified to say it that time, but my emotions were high, so it came out.
“Tiomi I was out handling business. You act like a nigga been on vacation without his family. I literally been grinding and looking for this nigga since the moment I dropped y’all off. I put you and our kids before everything, Tio, and you know that.” He ran his hand down his face likely because he was frustrated but fuck him, I was, too. “Look, I was coming to get y’all today anyway. Just come on man, let’s go get my kids.” We exited his office and headed out of the shop, but not without him biddingeveryone farewell. When they spoke to me, I offered nothing in response. If Jawan thought that this was over he was in for a very rude awakening.
Sitting on the couch with my feet folded underneath me, I watched Rae run around aimlessly with what seems like every toy that she owns. No matter how girly I dressed her, and how many girl toys we bought her, all she cared about were these stupid ass hot wheels. Sending her to the store with her father was a lost cause because he was literally going to give her whatever she asked for. She never came home with Barbie dolls and stuff that normal little girls played with, but her toy box would make the average little boy envious.
“You don’t plan on cooking or something? A nigga hungry as fuck.”
Jawan interrupted my thoughts. I rolled my eyes at his request because I didn’t want to do shit for his stupid ass. Standing to my feet I grabbed Lae out of his arms because I know both her and her sister are hungry.
“Come on Rae, Mommy is going to heat up your food that Granny sent home with you for lunch.”
She shot to her feet and followed me into the kitchen. She always dropped any and everything at the mention of food. Granny had sent me and Rae food home because I’d already told her that I wasn’t cooking. She was equally upset with Grim because she didn’t send him shit. Just like myself, she didn’t understand how he could up and abandon his family for days.
I got our food in and out of the microwave and got Rae situated at the table in her seat while I breastfed her sister.
“Daddy come eat-eat.” Jarae called out to her father which prompted me to roll my eyes in his direction. He was standing in the doorway staring at me while I fed our kids like a creep.
“Mommy didn’t fix daddy anything baby girl. Ask her why she’s being so mean,” she turned immediately in my direction to do what he told her.
“Mommy why you mean? Daddy eat-eat.”
I didn’t even bother to respond to that. Instead, I removed Lae from my breast to burp her and smiled at my baby.
“How about you hurry and finish your food pumpkin, then mommy will let you go out to swim. How’s that sound?”
She threw me a thumbs up and focused on finishing her food. I let my eyes meet their fathers again and rolled them for the millionth time today. He was going to feed himself then get his baby so I could swim with Rae. In that order.
After me and Rae spent countless hours outside in the pool, she finally tired herself out enough for us to head inside so I could bathe her and put her down for a nap. The pool had drained every bit of energy that I had, so all I wanted to do was sleep the rest of the afternoon away. As much junk as I talked, I was going to cook dinner for my family tonight. I’m no fool, I would never send my man anywhere hungry.
While I was showering, I felt Jawan step in behind me. Rolling my eyes, I looked back over my shoulder even though I didn’t want to.
“I’m not fucking you Grim, so you can move around.”
Snatching the loofah out of my hand, he pushed me forward a little.
“Girl shut the fuck up. If I wanted to fuck, you would do it. I don’t need permission to fuck my wife. You getting out of your body Tio, but I’d find some sense if I was you.”
He applied the body wash to my loofah and started to wash my body. His gentleness had my body going against what I justsaid to him. He was paying special attention to my lady parts, while he looked me in my eyes.
“I missed you and I’m sorry I ghosted y’all. I just can’t afford to be off my square when I’m out for blood, so I went MIA. I see that wasn’t the move and I won’t do that again because I don’t want you and the girls feeling abandoned.”
