Down For The Ride

Chapter 17

Jason

"Aye Jason, Tre said who's the pretty light skin by the pool." RJ came over and I directed my attention to the pool.

"Tell that two timing son of a bitch, that's my sister and he is to stay away from her or we gonna have some problems."

"Oh shit alright." He walked over to Tre and told him.

Todays I'm having a Fourth of July party at my house and I invited a few people. I only invited Tre because he's cool with RJ.

"Shae!" I yelled out for her. She came wobbling in looking like the American flag.

"What boy? And you ain't gotta yell." She laughed.

"I gotta tell you something. Wait go get Ky'Anna and Ashley!" She studied me for a second before she went to get them.

"Yo, RJ come here." He jogged to where I'm at.

"What's up man."

I pointed to Shae, Ky'Anna, and Ashley. "You see they're dress like the flag almost from head to toe. Out of respect for our country we must recite the pledge." He died laughing.

"What do you want?" They asked us.

We put our hands over our heart. "Our pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America."

"Oh, so y'all got jokes now?" Shae laughed.

"I mean we gotta respect our country." RJ added. Ashley took off her shoe and beat him with it.

Ky'Anna grabbed me by my ear and dragged me outside then threw me in the pool. "You can wash that smirk off your light skinned face."

"Don't forget I know where y'all live at. You're not gonna get away with it." She laughed and walked away.

Tremaine

So I'm at Jason's house for this party he having or whatever you wanna call it, I'm just surprised he still invited me.

While I was outside smoking a blunt Shae walked past me to go in the house. I took this as my opportunity to talk to her and apologize. I follow her up the stairs and stop her before she walks back into the bathroom.

"Shae can I talk to you for a second." She turned around to face me.

"What do you want?" She sounded a little annoyed.

"I know I fucked up after two weeks and I got nothing and no one to blame it on but myself. I take responsibility for cheating on you and all I ask now is that you forgive me and think about giving me another chance. I promise I won't mess it up this time." I looked her dead in her eyes hoping she could see the sincerity of my apology.

"I guess I can forgive you and give you another chance. But it's not about to be all peaches and cream. You gotta earn my respect and my trust back." She kissed me on the cheek and walked into the bathroom.

I got my babies back. I just gotta make sure I stay on my p's and q's so I don't mess up this time around.

Shae

So this Fourth of July party is over and it's just me, Jason, and Brooklyn at the house. We're trying to get everything straight.

"So your saying that mom and dad are still alive?" Jason asked Brooklyn.

She nodded her head. "That's what our grandmother. Last time I checked she's alright in the head."

"Alright as in she ok with some minor issues? Or alright as in she perfectly fine?" Jason laughed at me. I was being serious though.
