Next morning I'm woken up by Nasir getting out of the bed, looking over at the clock on the wall I see that it's nine AM huffing in annoyance I get out of bed deciding to start my day.
"Don't forget your online viewing at ten." Nasir looks over at me as he cracks his back.
"Thank you." I grab my stuff and head into the bathroom.
As I'm showering I hear the bathroom door open and straighten out from the bent over position I was in washing my coochie, I peep through the shower curtain and watch as a shirtless Nasir takes a wee, why is it so thick and veiny?
"You not ready for all this." He throws his head back in laughter.
I feel my body heat up and I back away in embarrassment, why did I let him catch me peeping? Well he knows I have a vagina so it's only fair I know what he has, not the same thing but whatever.
After my shower I clean my face and mouth then I dress.
"Thanks for doing this." I say to Nasir as I head back into the room.
"Thank me by keeping in contact." He gives me a hopeful look, I laugh but nod my head.
"One more favor?" He wiggles his brows at me, whatever that means.
"Can I get a ride home?" He pauses to think about it then starts to laugh for no reason, I'll take that as a yes.
When ten swings around I open up the zoom link the realtor sent me and wait for him to join, they're two other people waiting and my confidence slowly deflates.
"You finna get it don't worry." Nasir rests his big ass head on my shoulder and stares at the screen with me.
After five minutes of waiting the realtor finally gets on. "My apologies but I have a group here wanting to view in person." Immediately the other two people leave. "Umm?" The realtor states at the screen probably expecting me to leave as well but I really want this house, it's cheap.
Maybe a little too cheap, something must be wrong.
"Well Good Morning everyone feel free to call me Casey, today we'll be viewing a two story three bedroom two and a half bath house." Everyone clapped and Nasir muted the call just to call them corny.
I watched and listened as Casey went from room to room explaining a whole bunch of fancy stuff and giving a brief history of the house and the land it's on, it's perfect a little too perfect.
"Mr. Casey?" I unmuted the call.
"Yes?" He has a slightly annoyed look on his face when he turned to the camera.
"I appreciate the rehearsed version you're trying to sell but what's the truth about this house?" He tensed.
"Right? Shit too perfect." A disembodied voice agreed with me, at least I'm not alone with this.
"Well..." He sighed. "It's nothing too bad it's just that this house used to belong to someone with the street name OG and..." Nasir slammed my laptop close.
"You paid for that?" I glared at him.
"Just get an apartment bro OG is bad news." I wanted to go on about him slamming my laptop but the look of discomfort on his face made me change my mind.
"Who is OG?" I am now slightly uneasy but interested.
"I don't know his real name but he used to run the streets of Bagatelle and I'm not talking just selling weed or whatever he used to make people pay him rent for wherever they lived at business owners had to pay him rent too and cut him half their profits he got busted for a murder but that won't last the charges never stick he got big connections or something like that." Nasir had a disconnected look in his eyes and it made me kind of sad there's obviously more to this OG situation but I won't push him, we're only now reconnecting and I don't want to scare him away.
"I'll look into apartments that'll save me some money anyways." This is a major set back but I don't want any attachments to the shit Nasir just told me, should I still move there after hearing all that?
"I ain't mean to scare you or nun but stay away from that fool house and that entire area move to the nicer parts of bagatelle." Nasir massages the back of my neck.
"That feels so good." I moan leaning into him.
"It do?" He whispers in my ear, I can feel him smiling.
"I gotta go see your dad." I try to move but Nasir pulls me into his chest.
"At twelve." He laughs softly. "Why you running mammas? I ain't even give you this dick yet." I squeeze my eyes shut as I feel the warmth between my legs grow.
"I can't." My breathing becomes heavy as Nasir starts kissing down my neck. "Nasir stop." I whimper arching my back when he grabs a handful of my vagina. "Please."
"Please what?" He yanks my head back rubbing me through my clothes.
"Stop!" I say more sternly as I hear my brother's loud ass mouth from a distance.
Nasir rolls his eyes getting out of the bed, he tries fixing himself the best he could but he's wearing sweats and he has a lot to hide.
That was too close I don't think jumping into bed with another man is smart right now I have priorities I need to focus on the main one being the child I'm carrying, would Nasir even want to be involved with a child that isn't his? Why do I care we're not dating and it's never going to happen, it can't.
"You missed me?" My brother enters the room and I refrain from rolling my eyes. "Why you acting so funny with me lately?" I shake my head and look away.
"Yo." Tre enters the room and I watch as Nasir's eye twitch.
I should do something before this escalates.
"I don't want you around me." I look at Nasir. "We're through and I mean it you cheat on me then beat on me and now you're trying to bully me with a sex tape." I swallow back tears. " but I don't care all that tape gonna show is that you had sex with a guy that has a vagina." Tre glares at me.
"You hit who?" My brother was now in Tre face. "You hit who bruh?" He shoves him.
"I'm not doing this." Tre starts stepping back.
"I am!" My brother yells before swinging on Tre.
I was trying to keep the situation from escalating now look what the fuck I did.
An alarm soon goes off and I look over to see Nasir holding down a lever that says security, since when did hospitals have these? In no time the room is flooded with security guards that drag a bloody Tre and my brother out of the room.
"All this stress is not good for me." I throw myself back on the bed and cry.
"I agree." Nasir climbs in bed behind me. "You're leaving tomorrow, when my dad and my mom split they agreed the house I grew up in would be mine you can stay there with me till you find your own place." I sit up and turn to face him. "You're not arguing with me this isn't healthy for you or the baby."
Why is he being so nice to me? I cut Nasir out of my life when we were kids, all these years we never had any type of relationship then we were forced back into each other's lives by a series of unfortunate events now all of a sudden he's my hero? And to top it off Nasir has a nasty reputation especially when it comes to relationships, why would I want to get involved with someone like that? Maybe he's just trying to be a friend or he's playing the long game just waiting to do me like Tre, it's basically the same situation me in a vulnerable state and them coming to my rescue.
I shouldn't trust him.
