This Girl [Completed] (2014)

Chapter 16

A week later ...

Jaida

Today was the first day of school. This was my senior year in college so I knew I had to get my shit together. With Kee on my mind, I knew it was gonna be impossible to focus. I been staying with Liyah ever since I found out about the infidelity. To be honest, I was tired of crying about it. I had to get him off of my mind."Jai are you okay?""Yeah Ill be okay.""Why are you still wearing the ring?""I don't know. Liyah I still love him." Liyah hugged me as I held my head down. The swelling in my hands went down along with my facial injuries. I went to the mirror to apply the lipstick on my lips which was still bruised. I stood in the mirror & saw this damaged person. I picked up my phone to see I had 7 missed calls from Michael. He was really freaking me out now. I seen Kee called my phone, so I returned his call."Hello?""Hey baby, how are you?""Im fine. You?""Never better. Missin you like crazy.""Oh.""Oh? Jai wats wrong?""Nothing.""Jaida I dont believe you.""Its a lot of things I dont believe in anymore.""Wat da hell that means?""Bye Kee, I gotta go."I hung up the phone and finished getting ready. It was seeming like this relationship wasnt going anywhere. It was nonstop fights over and over again & frankly, Im fed up. I got a call from Q telling me the meeting with our sperm donor was today. I wasnt feeling it but I'll go to support Q. Liyah & I drove to school where we just sat in the parking lot."Soooooo how's my baby today?""This little nigga annoying me."She laughed as she pulled her bag over her shoulder. We walked in to get our schedules & out the corner of my eye, I seen Michael. Im so not in the mood for his shit."You didnt get any of my calls or texts?""Michael, please not today.""Jaida, can I talk to you?"Michael took me aside & told me why he needed to talk."Look my girlfriend is in town & I want her to meet you since you're the only girl I've been close to.""Michael, we only had coffee together."I took 3 steps back as he began to scare me. The look in his eyes were unidentiful."Ill meet her but not now. I got class.""So do I. Can I see your schedule?"I handed him my schedule & he laughed. What the fuck was his problem?"We got the same classes. Isnt that a concidence?""Yeah it is."I left to meet with Liyah. She was right. He was creepy."What did that creepy nigga wanted?""For me to meet his girlfriend. He's so weird.""Dont go.""Im not. He has our classes.""How the fuck.... You know what, let's go."We walked in class & it was packed. It was only two seats & they were next to Michael. Liyah decided to sit in the middle. Thank goodness cause he really started to irritate me. ***Photography class was a breeze. I really enjoyed it. After class, I decided to go to the dark room to develop my pictures. I came across one & it was one of me & Kee back in Detroit. I sat there & reflected on that happy time. I was interrupted when Michael came in the room."Need some help?""No Im fine." I said very annoyed."Jaida whats wrong?"I turned around & just snapped. I was sick & tired of being asked that shit."Michael I dont know what you think this is, but we're friends. Thats it. Im in a relationship.""But you're not happy."He soon backed me into a corner & kissed me. I slapped him silly."I dont think you understand what the fuck I said. Michael this is not going anywhere. Now goodbye."I got my things & quickly left. These niggas are a fucking trip. I got in Liyah's car & she drove me home. I didnt say not a word & neither did she. I needed the scene. Once I opened the door, I seen the glass everywhere & shook my head. Kee kept calling me but he didnt want shit. I dont have nothing else to say. I went to meet Q & Quentin for lunch. Once I got there, I seen Q at the table & Quentin walking over. I greeted them both."How are you two?""Im fine." Q said."Im okay. I missed my kids so muc–.""Stop because if you missed us you wouldve looked for us."Q jumped in his shit right off the bat. I followed up on the attack."You didnt miss us. You felt guilty & you abandoned us. You dont understand the shit we went through without our mother. You dont give a fuck."Quentin slammed his fist on the table, startling me."Now what I wont do is tolerate the fucking disrespect you two are bringing. Shut the fuck up. Im your father. Now here me out."Q balled up his fist but I grabbed it under the table. I didnt need anymore controversy."I was apart of a drug ring when you two were younger. I killed a lot of people back in my day. Thats why we moved around a lot. They were out to kill me & my family.""Okay but that doesnt explain the fucking part about you hittin my moms & shit. Givin her heroin & shit. The fuck was that about? Niggah do you realize dat shit fucked wit us & probably will for the rest of our lives. Niggah I was fuckin 8 years old!" Q yelled."I understand but I was also on drugs. I dont remember shit. All I remember is getting clean, okay? All I ask for is forgiveness.""Did you even tell mom?""Yes, I visited her a few weeks ago & she forgave me for everything.""Man this is some bullshit."Q threw the chair down & went out to get some air. I was the only one there & I walked over & hugged Quentin. I felt bad."Look Jaida, I wasnt there for you growing up. I get it. But please dont punish me any longer. I love you two to death."He cried in my arms & I did the same. That moment, I forgave him again but I didnt fully trust him."I missed you so much & you just left us. You wasnt there to teach me about the guys & it breaks my heart because I love you & a father isnt suppose to break mine."He got choked up when Q came in. Q came over & apologized for the outbursts."You gotta understand why we're upset like this dad.""Dawg I waited on you to come back. I had to grow up & be a man at 8." Q said."I understand & Im so sorry."I ended up having to leave to go to work. I told them goodbye as I exited the resturant. Kee called me again but I ignored it again. I dont need to hear his lies again. I was sick of them all.QI stayed behind to talk to my dad some more. We had a lot to catch up on."So how have you been Quen– dad?""I've been living. I got a place out in New York. You guys should come out there.""I think thats a little too soon.""You're right. How have you been Quincey?""Livin well tryin to at least."My dad raised his eyebrow & leaned closer to me."What do you mean?""Man I got shot like two months ago. I got this weak ass therapy afterward this.""Damn son, I got shot back in my days so I understand."We laughed as we took a sip of our drinks."Listen man, I gotta tell you something.""Ill all ears Quincey.""Jai in this relationship wit a blood niggah & he beat her ass. I need to handle dat.""Handle it how?""I need help. I want this niggah to suffer like he's making her suffer."
"Son leave that all to me. Ill handle him alright.""Another thing, I got her bestfriend pregnant & she doesnt know.""What the hell Quincey? Are you crazy?""Look it just happened. I fucked up cuhz."My pops just threw his head down but his story wasnt any better."Look just be honest & tell her. How far along is she?""8 weeks.""Damn son, are you sure its yours?"I never thought about that. But I knew we fucked without a rubber anyways."Look Ill catch up wit you later on. I got this wack ass therapy session."I dapped him & left. On the way home, I texted Liyah:To Babymama:"How are you today?"From Babymama:"Im fine. Baby making me queasy."To Babymama:"About that... Ill come & see you after therapy."From Babymama:"Okay baby :*"I arrived at the house & saw Julia gettin out of her car. She was thick as fuck in her pants."Hi Quincey.""Hey Julia.""Now you know you not suppose to be driving alone.""I told you I didnt need therapy.""Yeah okay Mr. Hanley. Let's go in."I opened the door & went straight to my room."Where are you going?""Im staying in here Mr. Hanley.""My room has plenty of space for stretching.""Spare me.""Im tryna."She rolled her eyes as she sat on the couch. Her dark skin turned me on. I just wanna see how the booty workin wit."Okay lay on the floor & bring your legs to your chest.""Wat?""Look do as I say."After a few hours of therapy, I was tired as fuck. I wanted to lay my fatass down."Mr. Hanley, you might wanna fix that."I looked down & seen my dick was rock hard. I instantly covered it up with a pillow."Shit you playin, Im tryin to let you ride."She laughed as she walked out. She handed me a card with her home number on it."Call me when you not on games."I watched as her big ass switched from side to side. For a moment, I was droolin but damn I was definetly callin her ass. I made my way to Liyah's to talk."Hey baby.""Hey Liyah."She moved to let me in her spot. She sat on her chaise lounge as I sat on her couch. We were silent for a minute until I came out with it."You sure thats my baby?"LiyahMy eyes daggered at Q. How in the fuck is he gonna ask me some shit like that."Yeah hard to believe, I only fucked you raw.""I mean shit I dont know. It could be Dot's.""Its fucking not his. How you come at me like that?""Liyah, you fuck everybody."I slapped Q's face. I was hyperventilating & crying at the same time."Fuck you! You wasnt saying that when you ate my pussy.""Man whatever.""Dont whatever me. Look if you want out, then say that shit. Im not begging you to stay."Usually I would but I wasnt anymore. I got a child on the way & I dont need that shit at all."Aaliyah you endin this?"Holding back my tears, I turned to him & replied."Yes."Q looked shocked as he left my apartment, slamming the door. I slid down the door & cried. I really was in love with him but he wasnt in love with me & it hurts like hell. I went to lock the door & slept this shit off. Around 7PM, I was awaken by him again."What Q?""Look I love you okay?""Funny way of showing it.""I just wanna be sure."I pulled out my phone & showed him my calendar."See, I was fucking you 8 weeks ago before the shooting."He flopped on the couch & cried tears but stopped when I walked over to him."We really havin a baby."Giggling I nodded my head as he laid his head on my lap. He rubbed my stomach as I laid my head on his shoulder. I was falling in love with him all over again.KeenonIt was gettin real lonely bein on dis tour. Ah niggah was lookin like a sad puppy & shit. I was ah lost cause witout Jai. I missed ma girl so much. She kept ignorin me which pissed me off. Monica kept textin me but I didnt care. She neva got a response back. Im tryin to stay faithful to Jai. Mustard came ova & knocked me out of ma thoughts."Wats wrong niggah?""Nothin. Thinkin bout Jai.""Niggah you pussy whipped."Mustard laughed but I was dead ass serious. Wen I left, we wasnt even on speakin terms like dat."Nah bruh, Im serious. I kinda slipped up & confessed.""Kinda?""Yeah bruh. I told ha bout Monica but I couldnt say shit bout the tape.""Man then dont string her along. If you wanna be single, do that.""But I dont. I love Jai & as much as I want to, I made a commitment to ha.""But then you broke that commitment wit a lie & meaningless sex."I threw my hands on the top of ma head. Thinkin bout it, it angered me because I did have a faithful girl on ma side. She got me out of the streets & always encouraged me."Man I gotta make shit right.""Start by bein honest. Thats always best."I pulled the letter I wrote Jai out of ma pocket & wrote the truth. I wrote how I felt, how much I loved ha & that I wouldnt fukk up again. Finally reachin the location, I stayed on da bus & called ha."Hello? Keenon this isnt a good time.""Jaida listen, I love you alright.""I know.""Why you keep doin that?""Kee please, I just need my space & so do you.""Jaida Marie, talk to me. Wats wrong? You still mad at the fight we had? You hit me in da face too.""Look I cant talk right now. Just know that I know.""Know wat?!""I just know."She hung up which irritated me. Wat da fukk she meant by she knows? I pulled Mustard to the side & discussed the duration of the tour wit him."I dont think I can go on wit dis tour shit.""Niggah you signed the contract. You gotta finish. Its only 5 more shows."Realizin how he was right, I chose to stay. I wasnt givin up on dis. I needed ah vacation & shit. But I knew I needed Jai by my side but dat wasnt gonna happen anytime soon since she was so irritated by me.
