i got you
arihah

Hearing my phone ding, notifying me a message came through I stopped brushing my hair and went over to my nightstand. I'm outside I read. I grabbed my phone and put it in my back pocket and scurried back in the bathroom to turn the light off. I fingered combed through my hair while I walked back over to my bed to get my purse and slide into my black huf slides.

Excited I hurried out my room and ran down the stairs to open the door. My bags were already at the door so I was more than ready.

Opening the door to see a big smile on his face I ran right into his arms. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too princess," he kissed my forehead. "Come on it's cold out here lets go in so I can get your bags."

Stepping inside I examined his outfit. Drelin always made sure he stayed clean with his fit. You wouldn't catch him half stepping, no matter if he was just going to the grocery store. Our dad always taught us that and Dre always made sure I remembered.

Seeing his smile turn into a glare, I turned around to see my moms boyfriend sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand staring us down. I wanted to roll my eyes to the back of my head because I knew some drama was bound to happen.

"Who this 'Rihah?"

Dre didn't exactly know about our mom and this guy and I wouldn't be surprised if she had another one on speed-dial. "Oh, um. Mom's boyfriend, James," I said looking over at my brother.

"He live here or sum?" He asked still glaring at James.

I was scared to answer the question but I had no choice. "Yes."

He instantly looked over at me and I could tell by the look on his face he wasn't the happiness person right now. "So you telling me this cat live here? And you ain't bother to tell me about this?"

"Look bro, mom didn't–," I tried to explain before I was cut off.

"Didn't I tell you ion care what that woman says? Ion care if she told you not to tell me cause I have a right to know!"

"What's all this fuss in here?" My mom came into the living room. She stopped mid-step when she noticed Dre. "Oh hi son," she said dry and surprised.

"What's this man doing staying here? Ion appreciate that. Not with my little sister under this roof."

"You don't appreciate it? Lil man you needa calm that tone down in my house cause ion tolerate disrespect to well," James sat his beer down and got up.

"Lil man? Yo house? Disrespect? Nah man forget allat! You disrespecting me! Since this yo house, why I pay the bills here? Huh? Can you answer that? What food you brought in here? I live three hours away and I bring the groceries in. Yo house? I'm the reason you eat! And if I would have known you were living here I wouldn't have spent nothing but just for my sister."

Drelin was beyond pissed. It was true though cause without my brother we wouldn't eat in this house or have water & lights.

It got more tensed when Kaydan came out his room to see what was going on. "Aye you needa bounce disrespecting my pops like this foolie."
