Is It Worth It (2nd)

Chapt 8. - Zoe

"Baby he living in my house, he gone follow my rules." Jas looked at me crazy. "Understand something Zoe, understand it quick. This house? Is ours, mine and yours. This my house shit got to go. Josiah? That's my brother, you not his daddy, you not his mama, you don't run him. When it comes to rules and discipline, there is none unless you take it up with me first. Stop acting like you his damn daddy. He will never respect you acting like that." I shook my head. "At least we know what a daddy is." I mumbled under my breath, my face stung and turned red before I could even take in the fact my girlfriend just slapped me into next week. "You got some damn nerve saying that shit. It's not my fault I barely know my own damn daddy. You not gone keep throwing that shit up in my face. You really done got me fucked up." Before I could say anything Jas stormed out our room slamming the door.

The next morning I woke up to the smell of grits, bacon, eggs, and fried weiners. I went downstairs to see Zakai and Josiah at the table talking to Jas. I tried to give her a hug but she wasn't having it. "That smells good babe." She grabbed a big bowl, poured Frosted Flakes and milk in it. "Here go your breakfast." She sat it on the counter in front of me. I heard Josiah laughing until Jas looked at him. I felt myself getting angry as I watched her fix the boys plate. "Aye Zoe, you want to get on 2k later?" Jas looked at me as if she was threatening me with her eyes. "Yeahh I'm down, you must want that ass whooping." He laughed as he poured hiself some orange juice. "We'll see who'll be getting a whooping. It won't be me."

When I got out the shower Jas was dressed and getting Zakai dressed. "We going to get Josiah a dog from the shelter. That's all he been talking bout." I looked at her. "But we already have Roxy and Murda." "He want his own dog, it'll teach him responsibility, he has to train it, walk it, etc." I shook my head as I put my bra on. "He going?" She nodded as she put Zakai shoes on. He walked across the bed to me. "What's up big boy?" Zakai smiled at me showing the crackers he was chewing. "We gone get doggy." I quickly turned my head as crackers flew out his mouth. "That's what yo ass get. Get her booboo." I wiped off my chest and finished getting dressed. "I got yo ass." She smiled and blew me a kiss before grabbing Zakai and leaving the room. She think I'm playing but I got ha ass.
