Jalanee Coleman



"Sit the fuck down." He smacked his lips,mugging me. "You always tryna do some extracurricular shit."

"Extracurricular shit? Baby you not even using the word right." I replied laughing. He walked over to me,snatching the box from my arms.

We were currently unpacking and Kentrell refused to let me help.

"Y'all motherfuckers better pay me for this shit y'all got me doing." Kendell said.

"Right." Jayda said.

"You ain't have shit better to do. You can't be running around the streets with Ben anymore,poor boy don't fuck with you no more." Kendell said so calmly. He
really had it when it comes to being so mean,unprovoked.

"Kendell stop." Kayla said cracking up herself. Jayda rolled her eyes and picked up a box and started to walk out to unload the truck.

"You're so mean." I said pushing Kendell lightly. Jayda and Ben no longer speak,and there conversation ended up getting physical. I should've never even let them in a room by themselves. But them no longer being cool made things weird for us,they both call before coming over to make sure the other isn't there.

But on the bright side me and Kentrell officially moved in as of today. This house still was a surprise to me,I don't think I thanked Kentrell enough for the gift.

Kentrell and Draco both were whispering to each other and smiling at me,which I didn't pay mine to because those two are always up to something.

"Where there ugly ass mutt at?" Kendell asked,as Kentrell laughed walking off.

"My grandma took him to get groomed." I said.

"Draco what you and your daddy was talking about?" I asked,shifting the attention to him.

"He said he knew you'd ask. And said I have permission to tell you to mind your business." He said innocently.

"Oh really?" I said as the whole room erupt in laughed.

"What we laughing at?" Jayda said walking in with a small box.

"Jalanee!" Kentrell yelled my name from upstairs,making me turn. I waddled up the stairs,getting confused on which side of the hall to walk from.

"Baby I'm still getting used to getting around here." I said trying to follow the sound of his laugh. I landed in our twin's room.

A smile appeared on his face,as his eyes laid on me

A smile appeared on his face,as his eyes laid on me.

"You like it?" He asked.

"I like it? Kentrell I picked everything in here." I said rolling my eyes.

"Man fuck you. You ain't try to let me pick nothing. These my kids too."He said tossing some toys around. I smiled and looked around the room. I practically picked everything out,Kentrell set the whole entire thing up though

"Kentrell you picked some ugly ass orange carpet for the room. I'm glad you sat this one out." I said,rubbing his chin.

"I can't believe i'm really going to be a mom." I said in awe. I was still kind of surprised. The way my love life was I would've thought I wouldn't settle enough with someone to let them get me pregnant.

"A fine one at that too." Kentrell said smirking at me as he lit up a blunt. "But for real you gon be a good ass mama. You already be on my ass just imagine yo kids."

I laughed and adjusted the pillows on both cribs. "Baby you need to stop smoking around the babies room. Don't make it a habit."

"Man you acting like K3 mama." He said sucking his teeth. "I'm gon stop." He added,putting the blunt back up to his lips.

"Who you think they'll look like?" He asked me,changing the subject.

"Your genes are so strong so I wouldn't be surprised if they came out like you. Nobody in my family look alike." I stated,cheesing at the thought.

"I still don't believe you and Kayla sisters. Let alone yo' brother. Y'all niggas gotta all have different daddies." He said making me chuckle.

"My ankles hurt." I said frowning a bit. Kentrell smacked his lips, "Go sit. I always wonder why you always tryna stand knowing you big as hell." He said helping me onto the blue and pink mini couch that was in the room.

"Tired of you talking about my size. I want you to carry two kids for 9 months" I teased.

"Why you was crying the other night?" He asked,running his tongue over his bottom lip.

"Ugh! You still on this?" I said.

"I shoulda been asked. We been busy." He asked leaning against the crib.

"Kentrell I don't wanna talk about it. I'm good
now." I said lowly.

"I did sum?" He asked squinting at me.

"No. You been nothing but good to me since you got back." I said.

"So who made you cry?"

"Nobody in particular. Just life,you know?" I said.

"Ion know shit. My life good as hell right now. I just
moved in with the girl I been chasing for years. Ion got shit to complain about. So What's fucking witchu?" He said.

I took a deep breath before deciding to speak. "7 years ago my bestfriend passed away." I said

He gave me a weird look,then went on to take a pull from his blunt. "You wanna talk about it?"

I really hated talking about my past,but it didn't seem fair for all these years to go by and I've yet to open up to Kentrell,

"Um her name was Alexis. She was Kai sister." I paused to see his reaction,which seemed uncomfortable, "Way back before he was crazy,all three of us were close." I said not breaking eye contact with him.

"She went to a party one night,I didn't wanna go for whatever reason at the time. She ended up getting shot while leaving the party...Kentrell when I tell you that girl really was my everything. We did everything together,basically grew up together."

"I know it's been 7 years but it still feels like yesterday I got that call,and it's really crazy how she won't be here to see any of this." I said looking around the nursery.

"You know how bad I miss my granny? I was 9 when she died,ma I'm 22 now. Ain't no time limit for you to get over death." He said.

"I know. I just wish I could've said goodbye or something. It feels like a went to sleep that night,and woke up the next day and she was gone."

"Shit I know that feeling." He eyed me. "Y'all found out who shot her?"

"No and that's the crazy part. They're probably still roaming the streets. And I hate that for her. I don't even know why her? She didn't have issues with anybody." I explained.

"Sometimes God just take good people. Ion know why he do that shit,We'll never know why,but at least
you had that chance to feel that type of love and loyalty she gave you."

"Same for you. She was taken quickly from you,but you was blessed with her." I said making him smack his lips
instantly.

"Why youn' like talking to me bout shit that be heavy on your mind? You a fucking therapist." He said clearly getting frustrated.

"I don't really know. My past is just touchy and when I talk about it,I feel guilty for things I shouldn't." I said rubbing my belly.

"A nigga not here to judge you. You can talk to me
ma." He said giving a peck to my cheek.
