kapri.

"mariposa." momma said, coming into my room.

"yeah?" i said as i played dress to impress on roblox.

"what's goin' on with you and yo' brother?"

"what you mean?"

"y'all ain't been talking for the past few days."

"it's nun'."

"don't tell me it's nothing. you can say youn' wanna talk about it but don't say it's nun'."

"i don't wanna talk about it, momma."

she sighed before tapping my leg and walking out.

i continued to play roblox until i got a call from the groupchat with leila, keola, marleigh and monique in it.

"yo." i spoke as i answered.

"yo' ass been ducking calls and shit so what's tea?" marleigh asked.

i laughed.

"i just been busy, that's all. ain't no beef suh."

"everytime you start back fuckin' with ole girl, you forget about us." monique rolled her eyes.

"that's not true. i've just been busy with moving and shit."

"when you move?" leila asked.

"in like a month or two. i'm moving all my extra shit into a storage unit to save time. but all my necessities are still here."

"you and kasir in the same building?" marleigh questioned.

"yeah. he's just one floor up."

"does auntie nae know about you and teyana being back together?" keola asked.

these muhfucka's just full of questions today.

"we aren't back together."

"so then what are y'all?"

"cousins."

"girl boo. that must mean she don't know."

"kasir ass barely know." leila laughed.

"me and teyana ain't back together. therefore it ain't a reason for nobody to know anything."

"you lying. amir just sent a screen recording of teyana posting you."

"what?" i said, immediately sitting up.

"yeah. she was singing to you. go look!" monique said.

i went to our other groupchat and saw the video.

"now why the fuck would his messy ass just do that?" i groaned.

kasir bursted into my room with his phone in his hand.

"so you and that bitch ain't back together huh?" he spoke loudly.

"i'll talk to y'all later." i said, before hanging up the phone.

"nigga don't be coming in my room like that. fuck wrong wit' you?"

"no, fuck wrong wit' you? i keep telling you to stay away from her for yo' own safety and you at her damn house cooking breakfast like you the help or some shit!"

"why does it matter if i keep fuckin' wit' her? you not being set up, kasir! if you was then her ass would've been slipped up! i'm not a kid anymore. ion need your protection."

"if you keep acting dumb like you are now then you always gon' need my fucking protection. this bitch is playing you, kapri! playing yo' ass like a broken record and you so in love that you don't even see it." kasir shouted, stepping closer to me.

"man if youn' back the fuck up and get the hell out my face with that bullshit. i just had a whole conversation with teyana about this shit! and if i was you, i'd be worried about that slut you keep being laid up with!"

"aye! why the fuck y'all doing all this hooting and hollering in my damn house?" momma shouted, coming into my room with mom trailing behind her.

"tell her why we yelling, kapri." kasir stated, waiting for me to admit my secret.

"we arguing 'cause all you do is whine like a bitch." i spat.

"aye! i ain't gon' say this shit again, stop yelling in my fucking house. now what the fuck is going on?"

"kapri dumb ass back fuckin' wit' teyana! and teyana and asaan tryna set me up but kapri too fuckin' blind to see it."

"what? since when is they tryna set you up? and when the fuck was y'all gon' tell us?" mom asked.

"ain't nobody setting him up! him and asaan beefing 'bout a girl who playing both of their asses. kasir so worried 'bout who i'm fuckin' wit' instead of worrying 'bout the bitch who he fucking right now!"

"i'm worried about who you fucking 'cause youn' have no self control when you around her! you let her manipulate yo' thoughts until you just following after her like a lost ass puppy. i'm yo' big brother! it's my responsibility to protect you!"

"i'm a grown ass adult, nigga! ion need protecting. i'm not a fucking teenager anymore, kasir!"

"first of all, y'all need to watch y'all mouths. second of all, when the hell you start back messing with her ass? you ain't learn enough from the first time?" momma asked me, propping a hand on her hip.

"it was by accident! i didn't mean to start talking to her again. i only did it at first 'cause kasir told me to so he could find out what they was planning to do! but they ain't planning nun' and i keep telling him this!"

"you think you so damn aware of everything! where was all of this sense of conscience when teyana had yo' ass slanging? where was all of this confidence at then, kapri?" kasir huffed.

my jaw dropped at him revealing what i once told him.

"hold the fuck up! i know yo' dumb ass wasn't letting this bitch turn you into a corner boy? is you fuckin' serious right now, kapri?" momma shouted in my face.

"momma, it ain't even like that-"

"no, fuck that! i done been in the streets enough for everyone in this damn house! i ain't go through all of that shit just for you to let some girl have you slanging shit! you my daughter, kapri! youn' understand how fast that shit can go left! you sneaking around doing this shit and if yo' ass got popped, then what the fuck can i do if i ain't know you was out here doing that shit? that shit get serious, pri!"

"stop yelling! i was young and dumb and made a mistake! same way that everyone has! i've learned from it and it ain't even like that with us, anymore."

"oh it ain't like that anymore, huh? fuck y'all got a cartel now? i don't give a damn what it is now and what it was. the point is you was out here being hot in the ass tryna be grown! doing some shit you ain't got no business doing! and kasir! yo' ass knew and ain't tell us? do that make fucking sense to you? if sumn' happened to her ass and you was the only one who knew then i would've fucked yo' ass up! both of y'all know better and y'all know ion play that shit! ion wan' see y'all faces for the rest of the day. gone 'head 'bout y'all business, man." momma stated, walking out of the room with her familiar scowl on her face.

"i'll talk to yo' ass later." mom told me before walking out.

i angrily gathered my bag and keys.

"kapri-"

"man get yo' punk ass out my face." i gritted, leaving out of my room and slamming the front door as i left.
