Page 61 of What You Do To Me
Since I had the girls with me today, I wasn’t cutting any hair other than Shad’s. I was simply here because I didn’t want to sit at home all day and I finally got a chance to look at my books to see what Tiomi had been carrying the fuck on about. When I saw what she was trying to show me I was seeing red. For the past six months somebody has been stealing from me. I don’t know howthey’ve been doing it, but you could bet your last dollar that I was going to find out.
“What’s good nigga?” Shad asked from the doorway holding Rae interrupting my thoughts.
“Shit going over these books ‘til you got here. It’s ‘bout time nigga damn. I was gone say fuck you if you didn’t get here soon, I gotta pick my bitch up.”
“Man, me and Chy got into it this morning, you see my shit all scratched up,” he revealed lifting the sleeves on his shirt with his free hand. “She popped up at my shit flipping out this morning because she heard I was with one of the dancers last night. I had to bring her crazy ass up here with me because she wouldn’t leave.”
All I could do was shake my head. After all the shit this nigga talked in Dubai, he still out here fucking up. The bright side was I had somebody to look after my baby while I cut this niggas hair.
“Nigga I told you to leave Chy the fuck alone if you wasn’t ready,” I replied to him as I stood with Lae still in my arms. She was still looking at me like I was the one in the wrong and all I could do was laugh. My shorty was a straight up trader. We made our way out to the floor where Chy was sitting in Joe’s seat talking to one of the other barbers.
“Aye, my nigga, find you something safe to do.” Shad interrupted them with a mug on his face, which made me laugh. I handed Lae over to her auntie so I could get him in and out my seat. It was burning me up to get to that damn college campus.
“Shad you’re not my father nor are you my man, you need to chill out,” Chy stated.
“I can’t tell. I was just daddy before we got here.” Her face flushed in embarrassment at the statement.
“Shad shut up in front of these kids.” Rae had also made her way over to where Chy was.
“I was going to say Grim; you don’t let me talk like that when the girls are here,” Nia butted in, causing the three of us to look in her direction.
“Bitch I don’t allow you to say shit to me or mine period, the fuck you mean?” I said.
“And these are my nieces hoe, I’ma say what I wanna say around them,” Shad replied.
Nia rolled her eyes, “I wasn’t even talking to your hoe ass, Rashad.”
“Bitch don’t say my name like you know me.”
“Right because who you playing with bitch? Talk to my nigga with some respect before you get yo’ ass beat.”
I smirked at Chy when she made that statement. These were two of the most dysfunctional people that I had ever met. I wouldn’t want anybody else to fuck with Chy though, I really did view her as my little sister.
“So, I’m going to be verbally attacked by everybody that you bring up here? It’s your wife on a daily basis it seems like, your family, friends, and that girl you had in your office the other day,” Nia said making me choke on the spit that I was about to swallow.
“What girl?” Cheyenne asked narrowing her eyes in my direction.
“Mind your business, Chy,” Shad tried to intervene.
“Shut the fuck up, Rashad. Jawan, what girl?” she asked me again.
Nia was standing there looking on with a smirk on her face as if she had done something and I wanted to beat her ugly, bald head ass.
“No girl, that hoe is lying,” I defended. Cheyenne had already had her phone in her hand so I’m sure she had wasted no time telling Tiomi exactly what she heard.
“Hmm, we’ll just see about that,” she responded.
Shad was shaking his head and staring at Nia in disgust. I don’t know why the fuck I had let this girl make it this long. Cheyenne’s ringing phone brought me out of my murderous thoughts.
“Hey bestie,” she answered with her eyes on me until she rolled them. She stood to her feet and made her towards my office with Lae in her arms and Rae in tow. Once I was sure she was out of earshot I turned my attention to Nia, who was still temporarily wearing a smirk. Heavy on the temporary.
“Bitch if my wife confirms anything you said in here today out of your hoe ass mouth, Jesus himself won’t be able to get me off your ass.”
Her smile dropped and now her appearance mirrored the fear that I knew had consumed her. She knew just as well as I did that Chy was in my office telling Tio her version of what she thought she knew and that was fine because I expected it. I also expected Tiomi to snap off as soon as she saw me later, so for that I was gone make bald head Nia’s life a living hell. Delivering her one final smirk I finished up my boy’s cut so I could go get my wife from school.
“Y’all took care of that old bitch, right?” I asked in a tone that only Shad could hear.
“You know it, bitch is Jaws food by now.”
