Love And Pain {Jacquees}

Chapter 17

Jacquees's Pov:(Nia's Pic In Mm)

Nia Was Just Leaving And Ming Was Upstairs. I Went Upstairs And Into The Bedroom Only To See Ming Laying Down In One Of My  Shirts. When She Saw Me She Sat Up.

"We Need To Talk." Was The First Thing She Said.

I Sat Down On My Side. "Wassup."

"I Don't Know Where To Start."

"Just Come Out With It."

"Im Tired Of Nia Being Here."

"....."

"Que She's Here Everyday For Almost 2 Hours And During Those Hours I've Forced Myself Not To Say Anything."

"I Don't Understand The Problem."

She Looked At Me Like I Was Stupid.

"You Don't See The Problem?" She Asked With Raised Eyebrows.

She Put On Her Pants, Took Of My Shirt And Put Her Shirt And Shoes On Before Grabbing Her Purse. "You Don't See The Problem, Then You Don't See Me."

She Began Walking Out And Down The Stairs. I Went After Her.

"Woah Slow Down." I Said Grabbing Her Wrist.

She Turned To Me Roughly. "Im Not Going To Just Sit In A Room All Day While You Play House With Her. I Understand That You Have A Child Now But Nia Doesn't Have To Be Here The Whole Time."

"She's The Mother Of That Child."

"And I Understand That But She Doesn't Have To Be There For You To Spend Time With Him."

I Just Looked At Her. I Didn't Know What To Say. She Stared At Me With Serious Eyes.

"I'll Be Back Tomorrow, After Nia Leaves."

She Walked Out Slamming The Door. I Just Stood There Not Knowing What To Do Next. I Went Upstairs And Laid In The Bed.

The Next Day, I Was Making Breakfast When I Heard A Knock At The Door. I Wondered Who It Was Since Nia Wouldn't Be Coming Over Til 11 And Ming After That.

I Turned The Food Down And Went To Open The Door. It Was My Mom And My Sisters. I Let Them In And We All Went Into The Kitchen.

"Ooh You Cooking?" Rozzie Said.

"Yeah." I Said With A Slight Chuckled.

Miracle Was Looking Around Like She Was Searching For Something. I Just Stared At Her Like She Was Stupid.

"Miracle, What Are You Looking For?" I Asked.

"Its Not What, Its Who. Where's Ming."

I Turned To The Food And Started Stirring The Grits. "She Not Here." I said With More Attitude Than I Meant.

"Oh God Que What Did You Do." My Mama Said.

I Turned Around. "Why I Had To Do Something."

"Cause You Always Doing Something." Rozzie Said.

I Crossed My Arms. "She Was Mad Because Nia Has Been Coming Over With The Baby. We Been Spending A Little Time Together And I Didn't See The Problem."

"You Stupid." Miracle Said Like The Dude Off The Vine. "Nia Is An Ex, Ming Is The New, Of Course That's A Problem And Plus You Know Ming Used To Be Possessive With You So I Don't Know Why Did Her Like That."

"Yeah." Rozzie Said Agreeing. "Ming Has Always Loved You Whether You Realized It Or Not And All She Ever Wanted Was Your Undivided Attention."

"Its Been Like That Ever Since You Guys Were Little." Mama Said.

Damn, Why Everybody Always Gotta Make Me Feel Like The Ass. Now I Need To Apologize Cause Of How I Made Her Feel. Its Just New, Me Being Somebody's Baby Daddy And All.

"Well Nia Is Coming Over With The Baby And Then Ming Is Coming Over Later, So I'll Settle Everything." I Told Them.

"Good." Mama Said. "Now Make Me A Plate, Im Hungry."

Ming Lynn's Pov:

I Was Looking Online For A New Job Since Wal-Mart Punk Asses Fired Me. Like Bitch, Yall Ain't Never Gone Find Another Employee Like Me. Mai Came Into The Kitchen Where I Was Sitting.

"You Find Job Yet?" She Asked

"No, Not A Good One."

"Hey I Hear Daycare Center Is Opening Up Down The Street, You Can Apply There."

"I'll Think About It."

I Really Don't Want To Have To Deal With Nobody's Bad Ass Kid. There Was A Knock At The Door And I Went To Answer It. It Was Some Weird Dude.

"Mai, Some Man Is At The Door."

"Oh That My Date, I'll Be Right There."

Date? I Hadn't Even Noticed She Was Dressed Up Until She Came To The Door. She Gave Me A Kiss On The Cheek Before Leaving. I Closed The Door And Went Upstairs.

I Was Contemplating Whether Or Not I Was Going To Go To Que's House. I Would Have Called June But She Was At Work. Yeah And Insert Eyeroll Here.

I Turned On The Tv And Sat In Bed, Watching Scooby Doo.

After About 2 Hours Of Straight Tv I Got Up Went Downstairs Where I Left My Phone. I Picked It Up And Looked At My Screen. I Had A Message From Que.

"Are You Still Coming Over." It Read.

"Maybe, Maybe Not." I Sent Back.

"Please Do" He Replied With A Bunch Of Sad Face Emojis.

"Okay Fine, Is Nia There."

"Just Left."

I Rolled My Eyes At The Text. "Ok Im On My Way."

I Put My Stuff On And Left. When I Got To The House Que Opened The Door Like He Had Been Standing There Waiting By It.

I Walked In Barely Acknowledging Him. He Grabbed My Arm And Pulled Me Back.

"Please Stop Being Mad." He Said Looking Down At Me

"Who Said I Was Mad."

"I Know You Are And Im Sorry."

I Rolled My Eyes.

"Seriously I Am...And I Told Nia She Couldn't Stay Over Anymore, That I Should Be Able To Bond With My Son, Without Her."

"And What Did She Say."

"Some Shit About Not Trusting You And I Made Sure That She Clearly Knew You Would Never Hurt The Baby."

"Well Of Course I Wouldn't, What Would Be The Purpose."

"I Know, But I Cleared It All Up."

"...Okay, Im Not Mad Anymore, I Forgive You."

We Went Into The Livingroom And Sat Down To Watch Movies. We Ended Up Watching Final Destination.

I Looked Over At Que And He Was Knocked Out With His Mouth Wide Open. I Giggled. Que's Phone Buzzed And I Picked It Up, Unlocking It And Looking At It. It Was A Few Text From Nia.

"I Know Baby Girl Got You Tripping But I Know You Still Love Me." One Said.

"My Son Doesn't Want A Stepmother, She Is NOT Needed." The Next One Said.

The Last One Was A Picture Of Her Standing In front Of A Mirror With Nothing But A Bra And Panties On Saying "I Know You Miss This."

I Hate This Girl. Excuse Me I'm Sorry, I Meant, I Hate This Bitch. I Set His Phone Down And Went Upstairs And Laid Down In The Bed. She Literally Made Me Feel Sick.
