Don't Mess With My Man

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 :

Simone sat in Taras living room with her , kitty and Aunt Kim. They had just gotten back home from a major shopping spree on Gunnas & Keelys expense.

" You still haven't told your brother about Gunna have you ? Girl .. that boy is gone have a damn cow". Kim giggled before she took a sip of her wine.

" Truthfully I'm scared .. Ya know how Keely can get . His temper ain't no joke ". Kitty confessed.

Money couldn't help but nod in agreement . Keely was certified bonkers , but all in good reason. She now understood just how deep things went with him and the drug game , who he kept around him and who knew nothing of him.

" Mark my words .. if he hears it from Gunna first ? Your ass is gone be on the run just like jay-z and Beyonce ". Tara joked.

" Mama that is not funny. Can't you just tell him for me ? He ain't gone do nothing to you ".

" Girl that ain't my business to tell , you grown now. He gone get over it eventually ". Tara waved her daughter off.

" is he worth all the trouble he gone cause "? Money asked .

" Yes , that boy worships the ground I walk on. I know part of it has to do with Egypt being my brother .. as well as the respect. But he's really good to me y'all. I know he's so sick of being a secret ". Kitty frowned unintentionally.

" Girl you done got shot by Cupid ", Kim shook her head. " ya brothers protégée ".

" You don't think he's gonna get tired of waiting around and spill the beans"? Tara questioned her daughter .

" No , he cares about the relationship I have with my brother. As much as he loves me .. he doesn't want to jeopardize the relationship I have with Kee ".

" He done got his ass hit right back by Cupid too . Y'all better tell my nephew before he get to acting a damn fool". Kim giggled once more.

" New subject .. Miss Money how have you been "? Kim asked .

" I've been good , just working really & sleeping ". Simone yawned. Lately she was always so tired , she could barely keep her eyes open for most of the day. Between working club shifts and getting her overtime in on top of that to save money for her restaurant she was exhausted.

" You still have your night job "? Tara asked.

" Yes I still do , I work tonight actually. I'm thinking about slowing down .. I need to focus on opening my restaurant & transitioning into being a business owner. I'm spreading myself so thin ".

" Now I love to hear that ! I love a queen who is all about leveling up . Where are you thinking about opening up "? Kim asked .

" Harlem for sure. I know I want to do it in the neighborhood I grew up to be exact. So many Asians , and Mexicans dominate the seafood industry out there and I feel like that needs to change because black people can fuck some seafood up ! I want kids in my neighborhood to be comfortable eating at an establishment with people just like them ".

" I know that restaurant gone be a banger cause you can cook your ass off " , Tara gave credit. She loved the young girl the moment she laid eyes on her , her spirit was so genuine , her heart was so kind , she was the perfect role model for her daughter and she was melting her sons icy ways. If her God was right .. which he always was .. Money was gone be around for a very long while.

" where is my nephew anyway "? Kim questioned.

" Last time I spoke to him , he was working . That was at like 9 this morning. These days he's gone before the sun is even up "Money answered.
