Page 53 of What You Do To Me
“Tech I need you to get into the cameras in that restaurant and the streetlights and I need you to do that shit immediately.”
He was doing whatever he does on that stupid ass laptop of his, but he wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I was on fire inside knowing RJ was in close proximity of my wife.
“Listen bro’, I’m working as fast and as diligently as I possibly can. You need a nigga to do a million fucking things at one time but I’m only one man.” He cut his eyes in my direction. “Choose which is more important to you, the security system at your new crib or the cameras at the restaurant.”
“What the fuck do I pay you for Tech? I need all that shit!” I roared, swiping some papers off that were lying on the table beside me.
“Nigga you pay me to —”
“Aye, both of y’all chill out,” Shad cut him off. “Tech get the security system ready on his compound because we’re moving our families tomorrow. We’ll worry about the rest later. Grim step outside with me bro’.”
We headed out of Tech’s front door and sat in the chairs his girl had decorated their front porch with. I pulled out a pre-rolled blunt, put flame to it, and we started to pass it back and forth.
“Bruh, I know you stressed, but you can’t blow up on everybody. Tech just as stressed about this shit as you are nigga. This is our sister and nieces, too.”
“Shad don’t tell me how to fucking feel bro’. This is my fuckin’ family. You can’t even imagine how I feel as a man knowing my wife don’t trust me with her and my girls safety. Then this bitch ass nigga Romeo trying to get custody of my fuckin’ kid, shit stressful as fuck.”
The somber look and mood that Tiomi has been carrying for the past few days is taking a toll on a nigga. She barely had anything to say to me. I really feel like since we got married shit just been bad for us.
I hadn’t got on my knees and sent one up to the big man in a while, but I prayed that we got back on track after she saw the new crib and the extent I’d gone through for their safety. Plus, I got Chy and Star booking us a trip out of the country. We never really got to honeymoon after we married, so I was taking us to Dubai for a week.
“Who telling you how to feel nigga? I’m simply telling yo ass that it’s not just you going through it and you need to chill the fuck out. We gone get this RJ nigga and dead Romeo and whoever else so we can move the fuck on. Shit y’all starting to stress me the fuck out.”
“Yeah, whatever nigga. I’m up, just make sure he gets that shit done.”
I didn’t even give him a chance to respond before I stood to my feet and headed to my car. I knew I wasn’t ready to go home, so when I was in my whip and riding, I headed in the direction of Faded.
When I walked in everybody gave me their attention for a brief moment, spoke, and got back to what they were doing. I went to my station and sat in my chair so I could go ahead and confirm some appointments that a few of my clients had requested.
“Good to see you back in office, Jawan.”
I lifted my gaze from my phone to the awaiting eyes of Nia’s aggravating ass. I didn’t immediately respond. Instead, I let my eyes move down the length of her thick frame then back up to her eyes. I wasn’t interested in her ugly ass at all, but shit I was still a man.
“Do you really want me to be another nigga that beats your ass? That nigga you got at home don’t do that enough for you?” I finally spoke up.
“N-no, of course not. I mean yeah, he does. I-I mean I’m sorry Grim.”
“Don’t be sorry hoe, just get out my fuckin’ face.”
I tried not to disrespect her stupid ass, but she always found her way into my personal space. She dropped her head and made her way back to her station.Bald head hoe,I thought to myself.
My first appointment had about an hour, so I went to my office to look over my books and inventory. With everything going on, I didn’t have a chance to look at the shit that Tio said was so important for me to see. My ass wasn’t even in my chair good before I got a knock on my door. I didn’t even bother to look at the monitor before I allowed them in.
“Come in.”
My door crept open and as soon as I saw who was on the other side of the door my annoyance became visible again. This must be the day designated to fuck with Jawan.
“Why are you here?”
“I’ve been reaching out to you. I wanted to see if you were okay.”
“Why? My well-being ain’t none of your fuckin’ concern Si’.”
She started to move in my direction and my face became tighter. When she went to touch me, I grabbed her wrist and squeezed it tightly before letting it go.
“Don’t fuckin’ touch me.”
“What is your problem, Jawan?” she asked me while she rubbed her wrist. “You act like I meant nothing to you.”
