Jazz Chronicles 2: Building My Empire

Chapter 13

After looking at the place, we went back to Enrique's office to pick out furniture, the color scheme, hookahs,  vip area design and all.. Even down to the what fork design we are going to have. I left his office and got in my car to text Zaire. He wanted to meet up at this Mexican restaurant which really sound good right now. I drove home so change and make sure I look good for man. When I pulled up, Hakeem was sitting outside. I got out and walked to the door. "Jasmine, hold up!" Hakeem yelled jogging towards me. I went in and he came in behind me. "What Hakeem?" I placed my hands on my hips. "Dang where are you coming from?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "I was handling business.. Now why are here?" I questioned him again. "I came to talk about the girl's birthday, why can't we just do the birthday party at my house instead of doing separate things?" I gave him a straight face. "Boy I know yo ass did not drive all the way over here to ask me that." He got some nerve. "Jass I'm serious right now" I stared at him again like he lost his damn mind. "I told you , I have a special surprise for them.. Which bring me to this, you need to schedule the park the weekend before cause we are leaving that Sunday." I told him. "Where are y'all going?" He asked me. "Their birthday surprise." I smiled. "But I want to do it on the day of." I frowned up. "Who the hell plans a birthday party on a fucking Tuesday?"  I spat. "You have a point.. But still like damn Jass why can't it be like old times?" Hakeem was serious. "Because it's not like old times, Mommie making moves now and Mommie going to give her babies the surprise they deserve so you can let your self out my house and if you decide to pull some fuck shit remember I have full custody so I can easily report kidnapping or not let the go at all." He turn to look at me and I winked right before closing the door.

I got in the shower and did my hygiene. I through on this maxi dress and sandals. I pinned my hair up and did my make up. I grabbed my purse and headed out the door.

I arrive to the Mexican restaurant and seen Zaire pulling in the same time as me. I watched him get out him range and walked over to my truck then opened my door for me. I climbed out and kissed him as he shut my door. "You look beautiful." He said grabbing my ass. "Stop!" I slapped his hand away and giggled. We held hands as we walked in and of course my baby opened every door for me.

They seated us to our booth and we ordered our drinks. "So what's been going on?" Zaire asked. "Ehh nonthing dealing with Hakeem nonthing ass.. He wants to do this extravagant ass party for them which is fine, they deserve it but why do I have to come .. Let that be a father and daughters moments for you guys." I huffed. He chuckle. "That's crazy how he wanted you to come.. Like you have to be there." I nodded my head as the waitress brung the drinks. She seemed nervous as hell. "Ca-can I .. I mean may I .. Um are you guys ready to order?" She asked looking down. I frowned up at Zaire and he had a straight face. "Yea, let me get the steak fajitas, and beans instead of rice." I told her. "I'll have the same." Zaire replied firmly. She was about to walk away but Zaire grabbed her wrist which made the girl even more scared. She start breathing hard. "Oh and my girl like extra sour cream so make sure you don't forget." She quickly nodded and and paced off fast. "What the fuck was that?" I asked him. "Nun" he replied firmly. "So that whole scene was nonthing?" I asked him not believing that bullshit. "Yea like said, it was nonthing." He said firmly to me. "So you going sit here and lie to my face Zaire?" I questioned him folding my arms across my chest. "That's what the fuck I said , now drop it damn!" Zaire was getting pissed off but I didn't care. I hate liars. "Watch your tone cause I don't know who the hell you think you're talking to.." I clack back at him. "Im clearly not the only person at this table and damn sho ain't talking to my damn self." He replied. I nodded. I sat there on my phone until I seen the waitress. "Hey excuse me!" I called out. She walked over. "Let me get mines to go and  bring me my bill..thanks." I told her. She nodded and walked off.  "So you about to go?" He asked with that same fucked up tone. "Leave me the fuck alone." I spat back. "Sure thing." He replied. "Mm yea and loose my number too." I spat back. Before he had the response the waitress came back, I slipped the money in the bill folder and told her to keep the receipt. I got up and walked off. I don't have time for niggas who lies to my face and talk to me like they lost they damn mind. He can go get him another girl that's going to take that bullshit.
