Soleil & Tremaine (A love story)

Chapter 88

Soleil POV

"Hey dad" I said getting in the car with him while he was rolling up a blunt for us.

"Was good Nook" He said leaning in and he kissed my cheek. "Ain't seen my baby girl in a minute." He added.

"Yeah I know, we need this" I said chuckling.

"Ya pops been busy lately, I'm so sorry" He said and I chuckled saying "Yeah I know."

I ain't forgot what I saw with him and Diana. Fucking.

The thought makes me cringe in disgust but as long as they both happy I'm good. I laughed at the thought.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked and I looked over at him.

He waited a moment before his eyes widened and said "Oh shit- I been meaning to talk to you bout that. I seen the box of clothes I asked you to send so that let me know you came and- Okay... Yeah...." he trailed off and I laughed.

"It's coo dad, I knew you and Diana had something going on. I'm here for it. Diana's basically like my mom anyways" I said.

"Did you see anything...?" he asked laughing.

"Yes I did. I covered y'all up" I said and he bursted out laughing even harder.

"I knew that was you that put that cardboard and tape on the window" He said as he laughed and I laughed playfully rolling my eyes. "Diana was so embarrassed cuh" He added.

I laughed and shook my head saying "Are you guys like, together now?"

"Working towards it. I just wanna make sure I'm the best I can be for her you feel me? I honestly ain't been in a real ass, solid ass relationship since me and ya mama broke up. Ya mama was the only woman I took serious you know? And now it's Diana. So" He said.

"Yeah I feel you and I love that for y'all. I love what y'all are building." I said with a smile.

Something healthy, and strong.

My dad smiled back and said "Thank you Nook"

"Of course" I said. He finished rolling up the wood and said "How's Tremaine?"

"He's good, he's good." I said.

"Good, I'm gone have to tap in wit him. Dub wants a hoodie" My dad said.

"Oh great, I'll make sure to let Tremaine know" I said.

"Coo, you know Dub a fat nigga so get him an XxxxxxxxxL" He said and I laughed so hard saying "Why you doing Dub like that"

"Aye" My dad said laughing as he shrugged and he lit the blunt before putting it in his mouth and inhaling.

"I'm honest" My dad said as he exhaled the smoke out of his mouth and we both laughed.

"Well I'll be sure to let Tremaine know" I said.

"Coo" My dad said before turning up the music, and rolling up the windows while we smoked.

Tremaine POV

"Appreciate cha" I said to Don, my barber as we shook hands. He just finished giving me a quick lil line up. Every two weeks type shit.

"Ain't no thang gangland, head up" He said as I stood up from the chair.

"I do my best cuh" I said as we shook hands again and he said "All we can do"

"Crip." I said before leaving out of the barbershop, texting Soleil real quick.

Me: I'm finna be on my way to you babe I'm just leaving the barbershop

After I sent that, I started heading towards the parking lot when I seen my fuckin father leaning against my car, waiting for me obviously.

How the fuck did he know I was here?

I do not wanna even breathe the same air as cuh. I don't know why he forcing shit now that he's back around.

This was my first time seeing him since I was probably two years old. I knew he was back around cause my mama warned me and my brothers, and my brothers already seen him. But I haven't.

They're more opened to the idea of him being around than I am. I don't know why. He left us, but aye it's their call. We all grown.

I sighed as I walked up to my car, and he chuckled seeing my facial expression.

"You are just like me, you know that?" My dad said.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"You knew I was out here. You knew I wanted to see you and yo brothers, that's what I want. Seems like me and you seeing got fucked up somewhere down the line and apparently we need work on our communication" He said.

"I said I needed some time." I said.

"Time for what? I'm your father." He said.

"So?" I said.

"We need to rekindle and talk Tremaine. Out of all my kids, you're the one that's the most like me. I see me. The gang banging, the in and out of jail, court, probation officers, the lifestyle, everything-"

"I ain't like you. I would never leave my kids and my woman for dead." I said.

"I ain't talking bout that." He said.

"Oh, shit then what we talking bout? I'm confused" I said and he just looked at me before chuckling.

"So this is the thanks I get for giving you life?" He said to me and I laughed shaking my head.

"Fuck outta my face." I said about to open my car door but he shoved the fuck outta of me saying "You watch how the fuck you talk to me nigga!"

"I'm a grown ass mothafucka!" I yelled.

"And I'm still yo got damn father! We need to talk!" He yelled back.

"You can't keep tryna come around, and you can't keep fuckin wit me bout talkin bout this and that. Crip street. I'm not wit this shit" I said.

"As far as I'm concerned you need all the love and help you can get. Only love you got is from that young lady you wit. Soleil is her name right?" He said and I squinted my eyes.

"That's the only person you getting love from. So you need to lighten the fuck up. I heard bout all that shit going on between you and Jeremiah. And this lil shaky ass clothing  business you got." My dad said.

"He tried to ruin it, and my business ain't fuckin shaky." I said.

"It will be shaky if you keep running yo fuckin mouth wit a nigga like me Tremaine." My dad said and that shit pissed me off.

Just shows me blood ain't no thicker than water. At all.

"FUCKA!" I yelled punching the brick wall. "I'M TIRED OF YOU MAN!" I yelled.

"You a gangsta right? Get rid of me then." My dad said.

"Why you testing me? Like you said, I'm just like you wit this street shit. Right? But the difference is, I'm probably... 20 times worse. And I ain't got no remorse about it." I said and he scrunched his eyebrows. I got in the car, turning it on, and slamming my door shut.

Then he chuckled and shook his head.

"You know what? Get back to me Tremaine, get back to me. Before I leave town." He said, and I just drove off.
