Omniscient
One week later .
"Alonso I said imma be home when I'm home, if you can't do what I ask of you don't expect me to do the same for you" Nassiah muttered as he hung up the phone. Donnie tried to turn his head and mind his business but it seemed Everytime he was around Nassiah him and Alonso were fighting. But before Donnie could ask what was wrong Nassiah just waved it off. "We good- shits good" he muttered and turned his attention elsewhere to keep his mind busy. When his phone went off again he knew it was nobody but his husband but Nassiah was going to let him sweat for a bit. Karma is a bitch. The two oldest Chavera kids were in the shop as well, King in the back trying to get his grades up as Naylani was trying to listen in on the gossip hoping that her pa would mention her parents relationship getting better. But who knows -
"Hello? Oh hi Daddy! Yea pa is right here" Naylani started but as soon as she said that Nassiah sent her a glare.
"If you just heard me hang up on the man why you answer? Nassiah asked and Nay just looked to her uncle for help. "Exactly so don't bring that phone over here- you answered so speak to him"
Naylani only put the phone back to her ear, "daddy I lied, Pa isn't here right now" she spoke walking away from her father right now and towards her brother. "But I'm sure we will be home soon, we are just at the shop- king say hi to daddy"
"Hey dad" king muttered he was in a bad mood. Nothing his family had contributed too, more like something a Junior had. King had messed up, he pushed the male and now Dj wasn't speaking to him at all.
"King, fuck- we can't.. you know we can't" Dj pushed himself away from king and was about to attempt to leave the bed. "Clearly we can't- no I can't. Well I have no self control .. but we knew that I'm a damn addict.. and now I cant"
"Why cant you? You want me.. I want you.. and I want you bad like — I don't know if I can
"Clearly we can't - or maybe it's me.. it's my fault I shouldn't be acting like we can just ignore the tension"
"So let's do something about it! Like come onnn! Why are you being like thiss?"
"IM SCARED TO RELAPSE KING. I'm terrified and I keep telling you that I can't do relationships right now, I can't be the person you want me too be right now and you brush it off like it's not something that I work hard for everyday"
"So you're saying I'm gonna make you relapse? That's how you feel? I'm toxic to you? I'm a trigger to you? How do I make you wanna relapse?"
"No I'm not sayi- yes but .. it's just to much- I can't do this right now king"
"Why not? You can't just leave me here.. Q I'm sorry— I don't wanna be the reason you're -
"No you're not king, it's not you I just can't do this right now "
King almost didn't hear Naylani having a conversation with him, he was too stuck in his head. He was going to make Dj relapse? "Am I bad for Quelly?" King blurred out not caring what his sister was talking about. Naylani scrunched her face up a bit and then tried to think about the question at hand.
"I might be a little dumb, but I didn't know you two were a thing?" She asked scratching her head and then tried to say something without hurting her brothers feelings. Naylani did care about her big brother, he was one of her favorite people and definitely someone she looks up too for her whole life. She didn't care that sometimes she played big sister to him because when he had too he always looked out for her. King looked at her for a real answer- not some fabricated one. "I think You and Q try hard despise all the odds but sometimes two explosives are bound to set each other off.. you hold each other accountable for one another too much"
"I don't mean too hurt him" king replied and Naylani just nodded.
Nassiah was still avoiding his husbands calls and texts. The pettiness in him mixed with the stubborn didn't care whatever the male wanted in the first place. He said what he said. But Alonso wasn't going to just get ignored by his own husband so in he waltz through the shop doors. Donnie let out a snicker as he tried to pay even more attention to the magazine he was pretending to read. "Whatever issue you got with me, dead it for today" Alonso spoke his eyes never leaving Nassiah's.
"That's how you speak to someone you want something from? Noted"
Nassiah under estimated how little Alonso cared about embarrassing Nassiah in public. He had little time for Nassiah's games nor patience. Nassiah also seemed to be too busy avoiding Alonso's glare to notice when the male was standing inches away from him. " I'm not gonna say it again, so cut this shit out so we can have a good day" Alonso spoke softly and then placed a kissed on Nassiah's head.
"Gimmie a real one and I'll thi—
"You selfish Nassiah! I swea how I'm suppose to surprise yo yellow ass I'm home if you won't come home" Donnie jumped out his chair hearing the voice and nearly toppled the small girl over, Tas'hania never stood tall compared to the boys in her life but her personality usually made up for it.
"you did this?" Nassiah asked Alonso but he was already behind Donnie tackling the girl down who was now trying to keep her balance up & once she did she sent smack to both of them.
"Y'all been having fun these years huh? Cause It's bout time things tighten up round hea' and that's going for both generations" she announced and before she could say something about the mugs forming on both of their faces, King and Naylani came to the front to hear the reaction.
"Aunt T?" King rushed over giving her a hug leaving his sister stuck in her tracks with a lot of different feelings evolving. For him the same sense of familiarity coming back for him was anything but that for the young girl. But her feet moved and she still found herself joining the hug her brother started with the women. "You back for real? Or is this out of my moms handbook?" King looked at the women hoping she would bring the stability he needed in his life.
"This for real baby, I'm not going no where again you hear me? They took me out the game for too long"
