Hakeem P.O.V
Flashback

I chuckled a little as my mom tossed her hair over her shoulder and switched out of my dad's living room. She just put Eva and Jasmine in their places in a blink of an eye.

"Well then. Now that the queen has spoken, I expect nothing wild out of you two" my dad jokes standing and leaving the room to get dress. My brother's laugh, the same thoughts probably going through their heads.

"I'm gonna head out too. Nice to meet y'all" Jamal says kissing Ravens hand. She smiles waving him off. Dre stays for about ten minutes , saying goodbye and leaving me with them.

"Ya mom seems nice" Jasmine says out of nowhere. Eva and her have been sitting there in the same spot for the past five minutes quiet as hell, while I talk with my siblings.

"Funny" I comment not showing a bit of interest in talking with her.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood, you could take it down a few notches" Jasmine whines under her breath.

"Why are you talking to me, better yet why are you still here?" I color my voice with irration making her roll her eyes.

"You know there was a time when you didn't hate me" she counters her face all scrunched up.

"Yeah, well that was when you didn't try to have me killed for some shit you provoked" I snap suddenly angry.

" It wasn't like that, I had no choice" her voice drops a few octaves making me blow a frustrated breath out.

"Can you shut up with the damn excuses please. You had a choice. Don't play the victim Jasmine" I call her out.

"It's whatever now keem, don't hold a grudge. Can we talk, alone?" She says glancing at Eva and her siblings.

"Sure I'll go" Eva says leaving.

"Ion know why you did that. I really don't have shit to say to you. You fucked me over the first minute you had a chance when you had more to do with what happened than me" I growl.

"Oh now who's playing the victim? I'm not about to rehash the past with you Hakeem. When you wanna talk shit out like normal adults, we can. Now that Raven and Noble are gonna be in your life as well as mines we need to get along" she tries to convince me.

"Get along! Are you crazy or delusional? You tried to have me killed! More than once! You let mental ass Laura shoot Tiana on our wedding day, then you set me up were I almost died. You lucky I don't kill you right now!" My temper is blaring and it's very evident she's scared.

"Hakeem, please calm down with the dramatics. It's not that serious, your alive right" she nonchalantly says rolling her eyes for the millionth time.

"You know what, I'm not gonna waste my breath fighting with you. Stay away from me Jasmine, or I swear the next time I won't be so damn nice. Get out my face before I do something I can't take back" I spit.

"Whatever Hakeem but don't say I didn't try to help you"I toss her a look making her shake her head. Jasmine glances around once more then rolls her eyes walking away.
