Islan-Dise

Zell drives through the woods frustrated with me. "Told you weeks in advance."

"You will come here but my people ain't good enough. It always a fight. You exhausting."

I look into the back seat to make sure my daughter Taylor is okay. "You promised that you would not come here with that type of energy."

"I know how to act. I got you from out the hood, not the other way around." He turns up the heat in the car.

I bite my tongue. "Guess, I have to keep reminding you I already had an apartment and was working two jobs when you met me. This ain't no fairytale and I damn sure never wore no glass slipper."

"Pfft, that ghetto apartment you was living in."

"I wasn't homeless, Zell. So this storyline you created of saving me is getting old. You barely can save your fuckin self."

He reaches over and pushes my face. "Watch yo mouth."

I roll my eyes. "If all you gonna do is fight with me when we get here, then let's just turn around."

"We here now." He says as our eyes land on a beautiful home by a lake.

"Wow, it's just as Islan explained." I get goosebumps from the instant feel of comfort.

"Islan, and you talk all the time. You talk more to him than you do with the nigga feeding you."

"Would you close your damn cum catcher? Islan is like family to me and I'm really sick of explaining that." The moment we park I unlock my door.

He grabs my arm. "Bitch you better not be smiling all in his face or anybody up in here-"

I snatch my arm away. "Don't embarrass me." I step out the car and go to the back to unbuckle Taylor.

"Hi baby." She smiles at me as her eyes flutter. "Hey mama." I pick her up. I hold her on my hip, grab her baby bag and make my way towards the front door.

I hear Zell coming up behind me. "Rain," he grabs my arms aggressively again. But the opens and standing there is Boon.

His eyes fall to Zell's hand on my arm. "Everything good?"

"Yeah. How you doing?" I try pretending we haven't been arguing.

He makes eye contact with Zell. "You sho?" He looks him up and down.

"I am." I stand there nervously. "Boon, this is Zell my boyfriend. Zell, this is Boon, Islan's brotha."

"Nice meeting you." Zell tries dapping him.

"Yeah, y'all can come in." He walks away, leaving the door open.

I bite my lip. Fuck, he is so fine.

"How the hell do you cut the ham perfectly?" Islan stands beside me with the knife.
