Thug From Around The Way

Chapter 9 Pt 2

Asia P.O.V.
"Who- who are you?" I asked. "You dnt remember me Asia?" The pretty lady asked. "No how do you know my name and dad how do you know her?" I asked. "Asia this is your Mother. Tierra this is your daughter." He introduced. "Mom?" I asked to make sire I was correct. "Yea its me and I'm back baby." She smiled. "Mom!" I ran into her arms. "Alright let's get inside." Dad suggested. I nodded and we did so. While dad put up groceries I sat on the island in her arms. "I missed you Asia." She told me. "It was so hard for me without you." I told her them Kiana walked in and everyone looked towards her. "Sup Mr. Jackson." Kiana nodded at my dad. "Hey Kiana." He said to her. "Who's the gorgeous doll?" She asked. "Asia's mom." He told her dryly. "For real. Omg Mrs. Jackson?" Her eyes widened. Tierra smiled. "You must be her friend." She smiled looking over. "Yes best friend actually." Kiana told her.

Mom modded. "Come on girl." She opened her arm wider for Kiana and we all hugged. "Alright we should get dressed I gotta cook and Tristan, Leon, and Julian will be here any minute." I said and them Dad dropped something. "Julian? Like 7th grade Julian?" He asked. "Yea were cool and um actually.... He's my boyfriend." I told him shyly. "Oh god I just got home and my babies already dating." My mom fanned herself. "How long was this" He asked. "It just happened before you guys came home." I told him. "Oh." He said as if that was all he could say. "Yea.... I should go get dressed." I said walking upstairs. "Me too this seems like an occasion." I heard my mother say. I showered changed(Outfit in MM) and pulled my hair in a neat bun. I walked over to the guest room across my bedroom to see my mother admiring herself into the mirror.

☝Tierra's Outfit👆

"Your very beautiful." I told my mom. "Thanks you are to." She told me. She turned and looked at me. "I bet this isndressing up to you." She pointed at my outfit. I nodded. "That's how I was in high school. Don't worry tomorrow we are going shopping and I'll show you how to love and hate your outfit. Right now I hate my outfit. Just I wanna dress to impress." She told me. I giggled. "So what do you wanna be in life?" She asked. "A Dancer." I said with passion. "I could hear it in your voice. I was a dancer before I met your father then I fell head first for him." She told me. "Now I jus want to make up for the the lost with my family." She sighed. Kiana came up interrupting our conversation. "The guys are here Asi." She told me. "Alright." I hooked my arm with my moms and we walked down the stairs together. "Mom this is Leon my cousin slash half brother." I mumbled. "I know about that." She told me. I nodded. "This is Tristan Leon's best friend and Kiana's boyfriend." I introduced. "Hello." She said. "Your beautiful ma'am." He told her. "Call me Ms.Jackson." She told him. "Yes Ms. Jackson." He nodded.

"And this is Julian my ex-bestfriend as my phone contact says and boyfriend." I told her. "Hello Mrs.J." he shook her hand. "I like Mrs. J. So far so good." She smiled. I laughed and went onto to help my dad and Kiana cook so far all the had done was yell at each other. My mom soon pitched in and dad left and played the game with the guys. "I like Julian, and Tristan, and Leon reminds me of Andrew a lot how he is laid back." She said as she took out the chicken. "Thanks." Me and Kiana said in unison. "So when did you guys start hanging with them." She asked. "The day dad left for work Leon came over but there was a shoot out outside so we um saw them but I've met Julian before he was my best friend since Kindergarten then it all changed when he started hanging with the wrong crowd and stuff started happening on his life then he kinda disappeared on me." I said lowly.

"Oh. Um after dinner I have to tell you guys why I was gone." She told me in my ear. I nodded. "Okay." I responded I was dying to know what happened but whatever it was I'm not going to see her differently and I think then is the time I should point out how dad never told me he was dealin' I sighed as I settled the dinner table. Dinner was about done. All that was left was the Velvet cake. After setting up the dinner table I took the cake out of the oven and put the cake in the container and let it cool. I brought out the food then when I was done with that I putted white icing all over the cake and putted the lid on. "Dinners ready." I told mom. "Boys dinner is ready." She told them and soon we were sitting at the rectangular table. daddy sat at the head end of the table and momma at the other end Me, Julian and Leon sat on one side and Kiana and Tristan sat on the other.

While eating we held little conversation and everyone was cool no drama had attended. "Um so Juliana what yo bitch ass doing dating my daughter after I thought I got rid of you?" My dad shot. I gasped. "Why would you do that?" My mother shot him a evil glare. "Im just being forward why be fake and I act like I like the nigga cause I don't." My Dad shrugged. I sighed. "Um sir I wasn't comfortable in the beginning with leaving Asia. Also now I don't need you to help me any more make it on the top when I am already now that you are retired." I heard Julian said. "Lets be real you got caught up with the lets say wrong crowd and you probably still are but uh I don't want my Asia caught up like that." Dad said. "I understand that." Julian said.

"That's all you can say?" Dad asked. "Honestly I cant promise that she cant get caught up in the bad crowd. They might just show another side of her im not gone lie she might not get caught up and be to stuck with what you taught her all her life but I have strong feelings towards Asia and I did in 8th grade but I had to push those away and hanging with that crowd kind of helped me push my feeling aside." He said lowly. " I think we should end this conversation and I will go get the cake." Mom excused herself. We sat there quiet towards each other. Things didn't get back normal till everyone began eating the cake and there was still strong tension in the air. "Oh I forgot the ice cream-" Kiana interrupted. " Don't worry ill get." She smiled. "This is some bomb as-acid cake." Leon said making Dad raise his eyebrow. "Gone curse in my house." Dad challenged. Leon cleared his throat.

I laughed after eating and everyone saying their goodbyes everyone left including Kiana she said her and Tristan needed to catch up. Also known as they were going to have sex. As I went upstairs I heard my Dad call me back down. I turned around and walked back down. I went in the living room to see him on the couch watching the game. "Yes?" I asked. "Be careful with that boy. Don't let him steer you in the wrong path also if you have any problems with him call me and ill roughen him up and get 'em right." Dad told me. I laughed. "Thanks Dad." I laughed and went upstairs to my room. I showered and threw my wet curls in a bun and put on a sports bra and some boy shorts and chilled in my room. My mother came in as I was about to fall asleep. "Hey um I came to tell you why I was gone then I will tell your father." She said clearing her throat.

"Um someone wanted your father dead before I had you and um they were sending me threats and I told your father and he said not to worry about it so then I had you and um I was kidnapped after having you but the man who kidnapped me told them to say I died giving birth. I prayed and hoped your father would come get me but he didn't. I guess from the lie he told he thought I was dead. So after 5 years that felt like eternity without you and your father I tried to escape. though it didn't work and they started doing stuff like making me not eat for a week and um they didn't rape me but they would feel on me. Then when I was kidnapped for 13 years to be exact someone came and killed everyone he said his name was Demon and I think its Julian your boyfriend then I was set free but I was scared to go out of hiding and be caught so I stayed locked into a house." She told me.

"It doesn't matter your here now." I said climbing over and hugging her. "Ah thanks." She sniffled. "Would you like to sleep in here with me?" I asked. she nodded. I got up and got ice cream, cookies, Doritos, Hot fries, Hot Cheetos and some drinks, "You guys really do eat a lot." She laughed. "I used to also." she smiled. "I know I said this before but you really are pretty." I told her. "Thanks and as I said before and meant it you are to." She told me. "Lets go shopping tomorrow." She suggested. "Sure plus we have to buy you more stuff." I said. she nodded. We talked chatted and caught up all night. I just loved this feeling of having a mom you can talk to.
