Problems & Privileges (Mindless Behavior)

Chapter 5

Elijah.

Jaay was only 21 but had the mind of a 30 year old. This nigga doesn't drug deal like your typical bad guy, or rob stores like any guy labeled as dangerous would do. He was a bartender, and doesn't look like a murderer at all. But once you get to know him, he's pure hell.

"Christy, everything's fine. Its only been one day damnit" Jacob laughed while he talked to Christy.

"Mhm. The boys with you?" I she asked. She was on speaker.

"Elijah is, why?" He said.

"Give him the phone." She said. Jacob shrugged and handed me the phone.

"If I'm on speaker can you take me off?" She demanded. I took her off speaker.

"EJ, watch that damn boy. He hasn't been doing stupid shit already has he?" She asked me.

I looked at Jacob, and he looked at me. He mouthed 'what?' and I shook my head. "Not that I know of." I lied.

"You sure? I have a camera in the house anyways. I haven't checked that old thing since Christmas. Can't trust that boy with anything."

"Thats smart. Bet you'll be surprised once you get here." I smirked. This nigga Jacob finna die.

"I hope so. And I heard about ole girl. Sorry about that boo! When I get back we'll burn her clothes together." She laughed.

"Damn right," I chuckled. "Have fun at you're trip!" I said bye to her before giving back the phone to Jacob.

"What she say?" He asked, plopping himself on the couch. We'd just got back from the hospital so we were at Tiana's house. She was getting ready upstairs.

"Nothing important." I said. He looked at me suspiciously but I didn't really care. Tiana came downstairs a few seconds later with a bag full of paper.

"Tiana what the hell?" Jacob asked.

"Look I have some information on Jaay that might help us find him. All I know is that he may possibly be in town."

"Are we detectives? Hell nah that's too much work. Nigga I have to work tomorrow. I got his old number I'll just call and see If it works." Jacob complained. I only laughed because of his laziness.

Tiana rolled her eyes and sat on the chair, "Fine. Yo' ugly ass."

"Tiana I know damn well you not roasting me. You look like a eagle who got shot down girl I'll flame your entire existence." Jacob added.

"Roast me nigga, you can't roast to save a life get the fuck on somewhere. Hoe ass."

I swear i fucking hate these two fam.

"Can y'all both shut up? Y'all both ugly. Jacob call him." I demanded. He flicked me off and called Jaay.

After a few seconds, it went to voicemail. We tried to make Tiana call him instead. After a few more seconds he answered. Jacob scoffed.

"Hello?" He yelled. She put him on speaker.

"Jaay, baby is that you?" Tiana replied.

"Depends, who this?"

"Tiana. Remember me?" She asked.

He didn't answer for a moment. Then he said, "Whatchu calling me for? Its been a while girl. Yo boys whichu?" He asked

"No why?"

"So what you need then?"

"Damn, I just wanted to see if you wanted to catch up, maybe go to the carnival or something now that I found your number." She lied.

"Oh really? Ain't you with Michael?"

"Nope." She said.

"How did you find my number?"

"Uh...Lookin through old contacts." Tiana quickly said.

"And you suddenly want to hang out. Hm?" He kept asking.

"If you don't want to hang then don't waste my time nigga."

"...A'ight. Tomorrow, if you in the area meet me at the carnival. I'll be at the front." He said.

"See you then." She said before hanging up.

"That guy is too easy, man." I said shaking my head.

"But the carnival starts at 1. You pick Michael up at 2." Jacob mentioned.

"Don't worry me and you can drop him off here." I said.

Tiana gathered the papers she got and put it back upstairs where she got it from. This was going smoother than I thought. Jacob looked at his phone and smiled.

"Okay I'm finna go, I got some stuff to handle so I'm outchea." Jacob grinned and headed out.

"Where he goin'?" Tiana came back downstairs as he shut the door.

"Probably going to fuck some girl again." I shrugged.

"We gotta tell Christy." She put her hands on her hips.

"Nah don't worry. Christy told me she's had security cameras in her house since Christmas. I remember she got it as a gift from that time her house got robbed. Shell find out once she gets back." I smirked.

"That's good and all, but don't you want to help Jacob out? This is like his sixth relationship this year, and its only May." She chuckled.

"Trust me, me and Mike have tried to explain to him about his problem plenty of times. The man won't listen. He's a hoe. You wanna give it a try?" I suggested.

"I guess so. I actually like Christy." She sighed.

I nodded. I stayed in her house for about an hour, eating her food before heading out. I went back to my house and changed into some more comfortable clothes.

I was going to the club tonight. I needed to clear my mind because I was still stuck on the break up. I go back to work on Monday. I better enjoy these next three days.
