Cheat, Lies and Deceit

Chapter 31

Marco

Jordan and I were sitting in the living room waiting on Tavi to come back from answering the door. I got up to go check on her but Olivia came walking into the room instead. "The fuck you doin in my crib Liv?" Jordan stood up yelling. "Jordan just let me explain." Olivia said. I walked out to go see where Tavi was. "Tav." I called out. I walked outside to see her pacing on the side of the house. "You good ma?" I asked her. "No, I haven't seen her since she walked out on us and now she just pops up and with a baby in tow. But you know, I should've seen this shit coming when I think back on what she said to me in the hospital." Tavi said. "I know it's hard baby girl." I told her while hugging her. "But the only way to be able to move on is for you to go in there and hear her out and soon forgive her." I said placing a kiss on her forehead. "Well, if your mean ass telling me that then let me get my ass in here then." She said making me laugh. "That's my girl." I said while following her in the house. 

When we walked back into the house, all you could hear is Jordan yelling. "I don't care Liv, she not doin it. That's your responsibility not theirs!" I couldn't help but to wonder what the hell they were talking about because clearly it had something to do with Tavi and I.  "What am I not doing?" Tavi said walking back into the house. "Tavi, you might not remember me coming to your hospital room but I told you that I wanted you to keep-." Tavi's mom started to explain but was cut off by Tavi. "I remember, you said that soon you would need me to keep an eye out for my little sister." Tavi said as she recalled the ordeal. "Well now is the time. I'm on the run from Adrian because he beat me and I don't know if or when he'll find me but I don't want Asia caught up in the middle of it." I looked over at Jordan and he had his head in his hands which was a clear sign that he was pissed. "Of course I will. You're still my mama and even though we have our own problems to resolve, I don't wanna see either of you hurt." Tavi stood and went to hug her mama. Liv began telling us how just recently she had to escape because Adrian had her tied to a bed and kept raping and beating her. I couldn't stand to hear anymore because it was pissing me off and I felt like going to kill his ass. I hate to hear of any man laying hands on a woman for any reason. "Babe I'll be back in a minute." I told Tavi as I walked outside lighting the already rolled blunt I had in my pocket.

Tavi

I couldn't  believe my ears right now. I couldn't help the tears that began falling from my eyes. "If leaving is what you feel like you have to do then by all means go. But if you want to, you can stay and Marco and I will set you up somewhere real nice and secure and be ready for his bitch ass once he cross the state line." I said making my dad head pop up. I don't think he's ever seen me so angry. "She's right Liv. You may have did me wrong but I won't tolerate anybody making your life miserable. I'm gonna kill his ass either way it go so it's up to you what you wanna do." My daddy added. "I-I really would just feel comfortable leaving until he's handled. Then, I'll come back for Asia." My mama said before placing a quick kiss on Asia's cheek being sure not to wake her. "Mama will be back for you soon baby girl just hang tight." She said before leaving out. I followed her so I could see where Marco disappeared to. "Mama, if you need anything just call and I'll send it out for you or bring it to you." I yelled after her. This by far has been the hardest thing for me ever. I am way too young to be dealing with this shit, now I have to raise my little sister who doesn't even know me.

I found Marcus in the backyard sitting under the gazebo smoking some weed. "Everything good?" He asked puffing on the last little bit of his blunt. "Yes and no. Daddy wanna go on a killing spree until he finds Adrian, I wanna kill him, we now have a one year old to raise who just might not act right because she doesn't even know me. Marcus, we're in deep shit not to mention we have to keep an eye out for Mama Margie and now I'm worried about my mama too." I said leaning over on his shoulder letting everything out. "Baby girl look at me." Marcus said making me sit up and look him in the eyes. "None of that is something that can't be handled. That's nothing for you to stress about. I already called my boys out of state and told them that your mama will be coming to them and to keep her safe at all times. If they let anything happen to her that's their ass and they know it. Asia will learn to love you but it will take some time and your dad will find Adrian punk ass and I'll make sure you get your turn with him before we take him out. As for my mama, you don't have to worry about her either. She is under maximum security baby." Marcus informed me and I had to admit I felt a little bit better.

Marcus and I went back into the house to check on my dad and Asia. "Tavi, are you sure about keeping her. I mean, you need to be getting into school and working on your wedding and everything. You don't have to be tied down with someone else's baby." My dad said looking over at Asia. She is a beauty just like my mom and I. The only thing she got from her dad is his caramel skin tone. "Daddy, this is my little sister and even though I don't know her, I would die if anything happened to her and I knew I could prevent it." I informed him. "Okay well...I'll set her up on an allowance and set up a college fund. I don't want ya'll to be burdened down with her." He said. "Jay man you don't have to do that. I will treat her like my own meaning she is now partially my responsibility too. I got them." Marcus said making me smile. "Well this can be a team effort. She can be practice for us with our baby in the future." I told Marcus and he smiled down on me placing a kiss on my forehead. "We got this ma, stop worrying so much." Marcus added while my daddy just stood there with this stupid smile on his face.
