The concept of being grounded never really worked for me.... I could understand if I did something wrong but the fight that took place in front of my house earlier wasn't my fault so my mom trying to 'ground' me wasn't going to work. Sure she could threaten me; take my car, take my phone, take this or that, kick me out..... but all those threats were empty. The car was mine, I paid for it with the money I made babysitting Taryn and TJ, the phone as well... it was mine, I paid the bill every month and never missed a payment..... Kicking me out was also a threat I wasn't buying because I'd just go live with my dad and that's the last thing she wanted; my brother and sister already decided that they preferred my dad over my mom and me going over there would just confirm something that we all knew (except her) which was she was the problem. My dad was the fun dad, my mom was a dictator... who cared more about public image than our own happiness... maybe I wasn't being fair but I wasn't going to be punished for the actions of others. It was getting late and I was waiting outside for Ajani, Ivan, and Tayo..... who had just pulled up.
"Okay, so we've worked it out... We're going to ride with Fernando and Qasim, you'll follow behind us with Tayo... that way we can figure set up a few things for tonight." Ajani said and I shrugged, turning my attention back to the figure that was watching us from a window across the street. "You really need to look into getting a restraining order.... or at the very least a taser, some pepper spray, or a gun.... you'd think that jail would've mellowed his crazy ass out but it seems like it just made him a better criminal." Ajani said rolling his eyes at Basiano who had been spying on me for the past hour.
"I'm not worried about Basiano... he knows there's no chance of us ever getting back together so eventually, he'll move on.... Besides, we got more pressing matters to discuss, like are you finally going to stop playing with Fernando and give him some ass or are you going to keep playing with his emotions, same with you and Qasim... are you finally going to say more than two words to Qasim or are you going to keep acting like you don't see or hear him when he speaks?" I asked Ajani and Ivan.
"Nando will get what he deserves... depending on how he acts is how I'll respond. I don't give it up to any and everyone, he has to earn this ass.... but who knows. Oh, I got us our own room in that same hotel so we can get ready or dip off if needed..... courtesy of my favorite cousin Kamilla.... no offense." Ajani said.
"Whatever, so what are you going to do Tayo? I feel bad that you don't have anyone to chill with during this little kickback...." I said looking at Tayo who was glued to his phone.
"Oh... I got this dude coming through a little later, so I'll be fine.... I just wanna meet this Zyn person, I wanna see what got Basiano so damn tight and if he's half as sexy as his uncle I may try to steal him from you." Tayo said laughing but quickly stopping once he saw how I was looking at him. "Calm down, I'm just joking... what kind of friend would I be if I were to fuck with ANY nigga you've messed with.... unless invited." Tayo said smirking.
"Anyways, here comes Qasim and Fernando... Tayo I gotta take a shower but I shouldn't take too long, y'all go on ahead and I'll meet y'all up there." I said mostly to myself since I had lost their focus the second Qasim and Fernando hit the block.
Once they were gone, I left Tayo downstairs while I took a long shower and got ready for the night; I walked into my bedroom and packed myself an overnight bag, and started getting dressed. As I started getting ready I looked out the window and noticed Tayo across the street with Basiano, they were clearly whispering and Tayo seemed to be crying..... then I froze when Basiano hugged him, I mean REALLY hugged him; cupping his ass, even from this distance I could see his basketball shorts expanding, as he whispered in Tayo's ear.... Finally, they broke apart, Tayo's hand lingering on Basiano's dick before he ran back across the street and I heard him enter the house..... Interesting.
