The Jungle

Chapter 3

Dérion POV

"YO MA IM HERE!" I called out entering my moms house.

Dérion mom (Lisa): "DERION ELIJAH HARRIS YELL IN MY DAMN HOUSE AGAIN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!"

"*mumbles* man you ain't gon do shit"

"Wha ya say??" she states walking out the kitchen waving her cooking spatula.

"Nothing Ma I just wanted to know how your day was."

"Hmm what I thought," she says walking back into the kitchen.

Aye don't let my moms fool you she has two sides, the sweet and the mean. But she know she not gonna hit me cuz she loves me too much. 😄

*laughs* "Ma here yo groceries"

"O yea place them over there... your sister gonna be here any minute,"
Ma says smiling as she turns the heater down on the oven.

I plopped down on the Sofa mugging my mom "Man I'm not even understanding why you got her coming here."

Mom walks out of the kitchen sitting next to me, she sighs before speaking "Dérion she did apologize."

"Apologize?!?, To who?"

"To both of us and she still is your sister"

"Ma she almost got me killed, tried to steal everything you worked hard for, then had the audacity to say we're the cause of her dumb ass getting pregnant and having an abortion. Man no she could bounce with ha apology and as far as I'm concerned she ain't my damn sister"

Lisa places her arms around Dérion and lays her head on his shoulder
"Baby I know it took a lot for me to let her back into our lives and if she's making a change it's up to us to be there for her after all we are her only famil-"

"Nah we have a whole bunch of cousin we ain't ha only family she can go to dem" She rolls her eyes.

"You so damn stubborn... baby just try and make the best of it for me Please!"

I sighed "Aight Ma... Aight" I raise my hand in defeat. She kisses my cheek and walks back into the kitchen.

I look at the time and decide I have to go get something before dinner.

I get up from the couch dusting myself off "Ma I gotta go get change and check on something real quick I'll be right back" I entered the kitchen and kiss her on the cheek "Well OK but hurry up."

I nod and walk out of her house and into my all black Camaro 2014 and start blasting Migos- Mr. Myagi.

Rapping along to the words I pull up to the Jan Moristan Library. Most people find comfort in a diary or a friend to get away from their past but me, it's between music and reading.

Reading is a hobby I been accustomed too since college, you'll be amazed to know the thing you can learn through many different authors especially the urban ones.

Right now I'm feeling some Ashley and JaQuavis so let me see what they got.

I swagger up the steps to the adult section and head on to the A area. I see a pretty good one; I read most already but this was a new one and I'm hyped.

I look at my watch and see the time
O shit *catches breath* o I'm straight I still got a hour and a half left.

I went back down stairs to check out my book and headed outside, when I looked to my left no lie my breath got caught in my throat I saw the most beautiful angelic face sitting criss crossed in a corner. She stopped and started smiling and cheesing that smiling was so infectious I started cheesing my self. She was so gorgeous, the way her hips stuck out you could tell she had ass, she had them pouty lips and long black dreads.
