Broke Luxury (A Jacquees Short Story) #Wattys2016

(11) Slow Homecoming

Okay, let me explain this chapter real quick. There is gonna be a lot of switching between 2 characters in this chapter. Like continues switching of their point of view. So pay attention to the name so you won't get lost!

Kale

I laughed at Cal dumb ass as he tried to holla' at some lil momma in the mall. She twirled her hair and popped her gum as he talked to her. I shook my head and just laughed.

"Kale." I turned around and a mean mug smacked across my face.

"What tha' fuck you doin' 'round here? Ain't you supposed to be getting ready to change some more diapers." I snarled.

"Kal-"

"Nah, nigga. Don't say my fuckin' name. If we wasn't in public I would beat ya' ass until I couldn't breathe."

"You got a lot of fuckin' nerve." Cal said joining my side with an evil grin on his face.

"Look, can yall just listen to me." He pleaded and I kissed my teeth about to walk away. Cal put his hand on my chest stopping me, but still lookin' to Quee.

"You got 2 minutes." Cal said foldin' his arms and smirking.

Quee told us some story about how he got kidnapped by Sasha's ex. He took him all the way out to Egypt and tortured him.

"I believe he's comin' for Malika and Sasha next since I got away." He concluded, causin' me and Cal to explode in laughter.

"That's the funniest shit you've said since I've met yo' weak ass." Cal said coughing.

Once we collected ourselves, I looked at him seriously. "You talked to my twin?"

He shook his head no. "I just got back."

"What the fuck you doin' here then?" Cal said furrowin' his eyebrows.

He stood there looking at us and I jumped at him. "Get tha' fuck out of here."

"Aye, yall gone quit talkin' to me like I'm a bitch or something. I might have fucked up, but I ain't no bitch." He looked at both of us before walking away.

Me and Cal shared a look and nodded our head at the same time. "Respect." Cal chuckled. "He still a bitch though."

"I'm just waitin' on the word from baby sis and I'll break my foot off in his ass." I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm hungry as hell. Let's go."

I was 2 seconds away from falling asleep when my phone vibrated. I groaned and rolled over.

Baby Kale 😏❤️ - Quee is back. 1:33 a.m.

I shot up in my bed and read the message over and over again.

How do you know? 1:35 a.m.

Baby Kale 😏❤️ - Saw him in the mall earlier. Can I come over? 1:36 a.m.

I replied 'yes' and locked my phone. I stared up at the dark ceiling and frowned. Sasha is either going to be happy, sad, or pissed that Quee left her the way he did and for the reason he left. He was going to have a hard time finding his way back in with Sasha.

The doorbell rung and I ran to get it. I looked out the peephole and opened it once I knew it was Kale. He smiled down at me as I closed the door and he pulled me into a hug. The smile didn't reach his eyes though.

I grabbed his hand and led him up the stairs.

Kale

She was just cute. She had on her little satin bonnet and an oversized grey t-shirt.

We laid down in her bed and it was quiet for a minute. "What's bothering you?" She asked as the darkness seemed to suffocate me.

"That nigga back and the only thing he gone do is hurt her again." I rested my head on her chest and my hands wrapped around her waist. She wrapped her arms around me.

"Love makes you do crazy shit." I felt her shrug. "We just have to stand by her in whatever decision she makes."

"All I can think about is my baby sister crying in my arms because he left. Shit made me cry and now he just thinks he can come back in so easily."

Peaches

I frowned in the dark. When it came to Sasha, her situations affected him more than it did her. I felt for him because it was eating him up inside that he had to watch his sister go through this. All his life he had been taught to protect his sister from anything that made her unhappy.

But what can he do when the thing that makes her happy is the same thing that makes her unhappy?

"Well, that's the father of her child." I was trying to reason this out.

"Who is also possibly the father of someone else's children." He added.

"Kale, this isn't your battle." I sighed. "We all want to fight for her, but we can't."

He shrugged his shoulders. "It's hard."

I ran my fingers up and down the space behind his ears with the pad of my thumbs. "Trust me, I know."

"I really wanna beat Kerrie ass, but I don't hit females."

"I was getting in her ass and then she started popping the attitude back at me."

"She ain't loyal. I saw that from day 1 and that's why Cal hardly tried to holla'."

"Hey hey hey. Don't talk about her like that." I said continuing to rub behind his ears.

"You making a nigga horny and sleepy at the same time." He said sleepily.

Kale

She laughed and her laughter made me chuckle a little. I was down for Passion and I don't even think she know it.

"Well let me stop." She said as she ran her nails gently up and down my back.

I let out a low growl. "You think that makes it any better."

"Well I don't know what to do with my hands." She laughed. "Guess I'll just hold them in the air.

Her hands moved away from my back. "Put 'em back." I complained and she put her hands back and ran her nails up and down my back.

"Spoiled baby." She muttered and I laughed.

"I'm going to sleep." I shut my eyes and then opened them again. "Passion?"

"Hmm?" She was falling asleep too. Her crazy ass.

"I-I-I" I stuttered. "I just wanna say that you're amazing."

"Thanks Kale. You're not so bad yourself." She yawned.

"Goodnight baby girl."

"Goodnight." She kissed my forehead.
