I Could Neva (JGE RETRO)

Chapter 69... Sixty nine?

Ari's P.O.V
I can't believe he did Drey like that. Ik she bad but that's messed up. We walked upstairs and went to the room. "Ari I'm sorry" Drey said and hugged my legs. "Ik, its alright. Just...." I said. I don't know what to tell her. I can't stop anything that she does. I'm not old or strong enough to raise a kid. Maybe I should've left her with mom. I sat on the bed and grabbed my phone checking Instagram. Yet another comment from that chick. *knock knock*. I looked up from my phone seeing Nelly tap at the door. "Hey" I said and sat it down. "Hey, so I was thinking and I want you to get the job" he said. Omg. "Really?" I asked surprised. More like happy tho. "Yea, you're mature enough and plus I won't have to give you anymore money" he said and laughed. "But anyway. Is there any particular spots you like?" He asked turning back serious. Play time is over. I've been really digging Dairy Queen. But if I worked there I'd want ice cream all the time. Hmmn Krispy Kreme. Nah. "Umm Imos?" I said not sure. "That's it?" He asked. I nodded ok of my decision. I think I did good. "What do u think?" I asked Drey. "U go to work?" She asked. I nodded waiting for her response. "Noooo sissy. Don't leave me" she said and ran up to me jumping in my lap. Idk what to do. I chose to make her my responsibility. I have to do what's right for me. But what's also right for her. "How abouttttt, you go to... School?" I asked her and looked at Nelly. "I already go to school." She said. "No Drey, a new school, with new friends" I said. "But I already have a friend. SJ is my friend" she said. I looked at Nelly for help. "Hey Audrey, I think it'll be great for you to go to school. You get to go on field trips" he said to persuade her. "Ooooo to the zoo?" She asked. Her face lit up with excitement. I loved seeing that. "Yep" he said. "Oo I can't wait for school" she said and ran out. "Thanks" I said to him referring to the help. "No problem" he said and walked over to the bed sitting next to me. "So IG we'll go and check Imos out. See if you like it" he said. "Yea that's cool, and thanks again" I told him. "Word, aight ima go make a few calls and get ready, let me know when u are" he said and walked out. Thanks gawwwsh. I been waiting for this. Being out the house. Meeting new people. Being homeschooled is not the best way but it's to keep us safe. I got up from the bed and picked out an outfit from my dresser to put on. I already had a shower earlier. I put the clothes on and made my way to the mirror. Lookin good boo. I got my phone off the bed and back to the mirror for a few selfies. Can't go wrong with that. Especially when u got that good lighting and that one fyree ass outfit.
Tré's P.O.V
I messed stuff up more dawgs. Ari prolly mad at me now fr. I shoulda jus been honest from the jump. "Tré Tré" I heard. I turned around. "Wssp dawgs" I said. "I get to go to school" Audrey said. "Dats bool" I said. *ring ring ring ring* I grabbed my phone. "Wssp bro" Ali said. "Wussuh" I said. "I gott tell u sumn.Man me and Tanya was boolin and she was like she a virgin and all anyway. Moral of the story 69 was the topic." He said talkin hella fast. "Sheesh, wym 69, like 69 69, or 69?" I asked. They gettin freaky. "What is sixty nine?" Audrey asked. "Shhh a numba" I said to her. She gon get me in trouble. "What is 69?" She yelled runnin upstairs. "Aye broski ima hit u later" I said and hung up runnin upstairs. "Audrey, c'mere folk" I said catchin up to her. "U want some candy?" I asked. She nodded. "Alright, go to stink room. It's some under her mattress" I said lying. "Ooo" she said. "Go get it" I told her watching her go in. *creak*. I looked and saw Ari comin out. "Hey" I said and smiled. She looked at me and walked downstairs. "U gon ignore me like dat?" I asked and followed her downstairs. The front door opened. "Wssp y'all" Sydney said comin in. I ignored her and followed Ari. " dang bye" she said. "Wait Syd, I gotta tell u something" Ari said and they sat onna couch. "Tré, Tré, it was no candy u lied. I only found this" Audrey said running in the living room holdin it up. "Wat is that?" I asked. "I don't know. When I pressed this it moved. It tickles" she said and started laughin. "Omg Audrey give me that" sydney said and grabbed it from her. "Why was she in my room?" She asked me. "Tré told me it was candy, what's that?" audrey asked. "Its ChapStick" she said and put it in her pocket. Sheesh ion think dat was ChapStick. Haahahahahahaha. "Audrey come here, u need to wash yo hands" Ari said and took her in the kitchen. "Dat ain't ChapStick" I said to Sydney. "Tré shutupppp I'm done wit yo ugly self" she said and walked upstairs. "Wssp Stink Stink" daddy said coming down. "Where Ari?" He asked. "She washin audrey hands" I said.
Ari's P.O.V
Ewww dats nasty. Why would he tell her to go in there? Erkin my nerves. "Here" I said and put soap in her hands. I turned the water on and she washed her hands singing the ABCs. I turned the water off when she was done. "Go upstairs and watch TV and don't do anything til I get back" I told her. She nodded and went upstairs. I walked in the living room. "Ok I'm ready" I said to Nelly. "Aight catdaddy, we'll be back" he said to tré. We walked to the door and out. "So we going to imos?" I asked. "Yep the one on st. Charles" he said. Cool. We were riding around for a while until we made it. He parked around the back. I unbuckled my seatbelt and followed him to the back door. *knock knock*. A minute later a boy opened the door. "Hey" he said letting us in. He looked around my age. "Are you Ari?" He asked. I nodded. "Ok so I'm, Javier, my dad owns this Imos, I'm gonna train you today" he said. "I didn't get the application" I told him confused. "Well that's Nelly. Anything is possible" he said and laughed. "Well umm I'll come back to get you. Let me know when you're done" Nelly said. I nodded. He walked back out the back door. "Aye don't be nervous. I don't bite" Javier said and smiled. He has a pretty smile. I laughed at that little joke. "Well follow me and we can get to work" he said taking me to the kicthen. "Aye guys this is Ari" he said to the other workers. "Hey I'm Filly' a girl said. Well woman. She looks abouttttt. 30. I said hey to everyone and they were cool. "Ok so you are gonna work the register" javier said. Wait what!? " I don't know how to do that" I said nervously. "That's why I'm here to teach u" he said and winked. "Don't flatter yourself" I said. "U press this right here and do that. Then u press these to get the receipt. We write the order down the old fashion way, well I do" he said. Wow thats kinda easy. "That's easy" I said. " told u" he said. "Ok so now what?" I asked. A door alarm rang telling us a customer walked in. "Well now u have a customer" he said and walked away before I could respond. Freak. I'm nervous. What if I mess somethin up. "Welcome to Imos, what can I get u?" I asked the man. "I'd like a large two topping half sausage half bacon" he said. I rang it up correctly. Surprisingly and put the order on the hook. "It'll be 15 minutes" Javier said to him. The man walked out.
Tré's P.O.V
I always get left here dawgs. I need to go out and have some fun. Maybe hang out wit some of my guys. Audrey upstairs watchin TV. Wen Iain mess in wit her I'm bored. I would ride my Skywalker but its dead rn. "Where yo daddy go?" Sydney asked walking in the livin room. " idk" I said. "U neva kno nun damn. Well anyway I'm finna go" she said. "Where u goin?" I asked. "Out wit my friend" she said and walked out da door. Now I can't leave cuz audrey here. Ima call dat Chinese lady back dawgs. I can't be stuck Inna house. Guess I'll play da game until daddy get back.
Ari's P.O.V
"Why'd you leave me like that?" I asked. "Chill. You did good" he said. "Now what do i do?" I asked. "Well we wait for more customers and when the phone rings answer it and take their order. It's that easy" he said. I think I'm gonna like this job. 2 hrs later....
"I had a lot of fun" I said to Javier. He taught me the basics. "Well I had fun knowing u had fun" he said and we laughed. *beep beep*. I opened the message. "Sorry sweetheart, I had to run somewhere, hopefully someone could give u a ride home" Nelly said. "Well that's sucks" I said. "What's up?" He asked. "Nelly had somewhere to be so I have no ride home" I said. "Its fine, I could take you" Javier volunteered. "No its fine. Ik u have to work with all the customers. And I wouldn't want my boy,-" I said before he interrupted. "No its fine. Everyone else can handle it and plus it'll be fast. I'll be back, gotta get my keys" he said. Well I was gonna say I wouldn't want Tré to get any ideas. Javier came back with his keys in his hand. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded and we walked out the back. "This Is yours?" I asked looking at his car. "Yep" he said. He has a matte black camaro and it is so fyreeee. "Here hop in" he said opening the door for me. I sat in the seat and he got in on the drivers side. "Umm Javier how old are you?" I asked. "16" he said. "Oh" I responded. "Yep but I'm turning the big 1, 7 next month, u should come to my party" he said. "Yea" I said. We put on our seatbelts and he drove out of the parking lot. He's a really safe driver. "Did u like the training?" He asked. "Yes it was cool. Everybody seems nice" I said. "That's just an act. I won't be so nice next time" he said. "Oh whatever" I answered. It was an awkward silence for a moment. "Sooo Ari, what is your relation to Nelly?" He asked. "Long story buts he's my boyfriend's dad" I said. "Oh" he said stopping at a red light. "What?" I asked. "I didn't know u had a boyfriend, well IG I shouldve known by how pretty u are" he said. I turned towards the window. "Thank you that's nice" I said. "But don't you have a gf?" I asked. "Nah, a lot of girls try to get with me because of money and not because of my personality or who I am" he said. "Maybe you're looking for the wrong girl" I said. "Yea maybe I am" he said. The whole ride I've been seeing him watch me from time to time out the corner of my eye. Once we made it to the house he drove up the driveway. "Thanks for everything" I said. "Welcome, IG I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked. "Maybe, if I can make it" I said. "Well I hope u can make it, wait umm what's your number. You know. For work purposes " he said. I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out the car almost falling. "Haha u alright?" He asked slightly laughing. "Yes, but don't laugh I'm a little clumsy and its 314*******" I said and closed the door. I started walking to the front door. "Don't hurt yourself" I heard. I looked at Javier and shook my head. "Don't flatter yourself pretty boy" I yelled.
Tré's P.O.V
I heard a car door shut outside so I looked out the blinds. Ari's back. But who she wit? I looked at the car and couldnt see cuz the windows tinted. When she walked up the the door the car window rolled down. Who dat dude folk? *knock knock* I walked to da front door and opened it lettin her in. I looked past her at the car gettin a closer look. He rolled the window up and drove off. "Who was dat?" I asked. "A friend" she said. "Where was u at?" I asked. "Minding my business" she answered. Sheeesh. "U still mad at me?" I asked. "No tré I'm just tired" she said and walked upstairs. I tried. At least this time Audrey ain't do nun. But who tf is dat dude. Is she fw him? Ain't nobody gon fw my girl. Been through dat before wit. U know. My ex. I gotta get to da bottom of dis dawgs.....
