The Perfect Family

Chapter 5 Pt. 1

Kamaya

I stood shocked, it was Quees and he had his eyes locked on me. I placed my freshly manicured fingers over my mouth and I gasped.

He stopped walking and the security guard tried to get him to keep going but he started walking towards me.

"Meet me at my moms house." He shouted over the crowd as he started walking backwards, still looking at me.

I nodded my head and mouthed the words Ok but he was already gone. I saw some of the girls from the crowd glaring at me, I rolled my eyes and flipped my curls with one hand as I snatched Infinity's hand with the other and we made our way back to my car. I strapped her in her car seat and I jumped into the driver's seat.

"Who was that?" Infinity's nosey ass asked.

"Just an old friend from school, baby girl." I told her, trying to collect my thoughts.

I had to catch my breath because that intense stare really had me going. His dreads were longer than the last time I had seen him, which was at our graduation. He looked really good, I can't believe he's famous. I mean I hear some of his shit on the radio but I mean famous, famous. Like all those girls and shit. I missed him.

I swallowed hard and took a piece of Trident gum out of my purse. I handed Infinity a piece and then I started the car.

"I want my outfits mommy." She whined, starting to smack the gum.

"Well you have to wait, wanna go see Grandma?" I asked her, referring to my mother.

"Yes! I miss Grandmaaaa!" she sung.

"Okay, I'll come and get you later baby girl." I told her, backing out of my parking spot.

I drove about 16 minutes before I pulled into a parking spot down the street from my aunts apartment building. You couldn't park directly in front of the building, so I parked down the street. I don't miss being here at all. It was still niggas standing out, slanging drugs. Everything around was dirty and ran down.

I turned around and looked at Infinity, "Ready?"

She nodded her head and I grabbed my purse and got out the car. I walked over to her door and opened it. I unbuckled her out of her seat and she slid out the car, clutching her little purse.

We started walking down the street to the apartment and I saw a few niggas staring at me. I was just hoping nobody would ask me, how you doing? They were all leaning against the rail obviously slanging dope. I just held my head down and tightly grabbed Infinity's hand.

She looked up at me and then I smiled at her. I held the door open for her and she walked in. She walked up the steps until we made it to my aunts door. I pulled out my key and I unlocked the door. Infinity pushed the door open and we saw my mom and Quees sitting on the couch.

Infinity ran over to my mom and gave her a hug. I walked in and greeted my mama. Then I turned to Quees and his eyes were on me.

"Hey stranger, this is Infinity." I told him.

"Hi Infinity." he waved to her, I saw my mom looking at Quees and then at me.

She waved and then I told Quees we should talk in the hall.

He nodded and followed me, he shut the door after him and we were face to face.

He gave me the tightest hug ever. I hugged him back. He let go and then looked me in the face.

"My mom moved a few years back, I know you wouldn't know the address so I remembered where yo mom stay." He said.

"I missed you nigga! You got Hollywood and stopped fuckin with me." I joked, hugging his neck again. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me back. I stepped back and he was looking me up and down, licking his lips.
