Dangers in the Hood (completed) Book One

Chapter Four

Tynarrion POV: Sunday 9:00 am

Last night I tried to come home and she wouldn't even let me in the house. She had thrown all my clothes outside, and keyed my car. I was pissed the fuck off. But I can't blame her for not letting me in. Because if the tables were turned and I caught her with another nigga I would probably be in jail.

Even though I don't act like it all the time, I really do love Ciara. The only reason I've been distant is because she keeps pressuring me into getting her pregnant. But I told her before we got serious, that I'm not having a child until I'm married.

The only reason she wants a baby so bad is because Akevia and Lupe has Starla. Somebody needs to let her know that every child is different. Just because Star acts like an angel doesn't mean our kid will act the same.

Since she didn't let me in last night I stayed at my cousin, Ken-Ken, house in the projects. I decided to just give her and I some space. We need a break away from each other. I'll let her have the house and the car. I'll go house shopping tomorrow.

My lil cuz was doing good for hisself. I know he lives in the projects, but when you step inside it looks so futuristic!!! Everything is automatic or electronic. Even the bed is electronic. It's asks you questions like, how was your day?, would you like a massage?, what temperature would you like your bed and covers?. When I get my new crib imma have to let cuz hook me up forreal.

Lupe's POV

"Daddy, mama won't let me join ballet!!" She had her arms crossed with her lips poked out. I picked Star up and sat her in my lap. She looked just like her mama except she had my skin color and green eyes.

"Why won't yo mama let you be a pretty little ballerina?"

I don't know. I think she treats me this way because I'm adopted. She get on my nerves with her black bow legged self.

I laughed at her. This little girl says what's on her mind. And she thinks she's adopted. Star is a mess.

"Baby you shouldn't talk about mommy that way. And you are not adopted, you look just like yo mama. And what way does mommy treat you?"

Ummm for example, this morning she was on the phone with godmama Ciara and I wanted to talk to her but she threw a pillow at me and told me to get out.

"I'm sure she didn't mean any harm. Your godmama is going through some things right now. Your mom was probably just talking about some important business with her. And I will talk to your mom about letting you join ballet ok?"

Ok. Thanks daddy. I love you, you're the best!!

She hugged me around my neck and kissed me on the cheek.

"Daddy loves you to. What do you want to do today?"

How about the whole family go to the park!?!?!

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll call everybody up later."

Ok daddy. I'm bout to go play with my barbies, wanna come?

"No thanks!!! I'm bout to go check on mommy. You go ahead."

I'm so happy she didn't start crying because I was not bout to act like no girl and wear pink tiaras and shit.

I walked in the bedroom where Akevia was and she was just getting off the phone. I got in bed and pulled her close to me and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Don't think I don't know that was you who stuffed that damn sock in my mouth."

I don't know what you talkin about babe.

"I bet you don't. You pull some shit like that again imma have to put something on you."

Mmmm, I might do it again since you put it that way.

"Don't try to start something you can't finish ma. And why you got my daughter thinking she adopted?"

She told you that?

"Yep, and she also said you threw a pillow at her. Then she called you black and bow legged."

That girl is so crazy. I don't know what we gonna do with her.

"Why you won't let her be a ballerina?"

Because she colored on her walls with red and green crayons. I bet she didn't even mention that part to you, did she?

"No she didn't. But I did tell her, us and the rest of the family could go to the park later today."

That sound like fun. How about the three of us dress alike.

"As long as I don't have to wear nothing pink!!"

Ciara's POV

OMG!! I looked in the mirror at myself and I looked like a totally different person. My eyes were red and swollen. My hair was all over the place. I had bags under my eyes from where I hadn't gotten any sleep. Bottom line is I looked like shit.

I had not to long ago got off the phone with Akevia. I was letting her know what happened when Tynarrion took me outside the club, and that I went straight home when I left the club. She was laughing when I told her how I had threw his clothes outside and keyed his car. That's just the behavior of a mad black woman. Akevia told me the bitch name is Brianna. And when I find out where she lives it's gonna be hell to pay.

I just got a text message from Lupe saying that everybody needs to be at the park at 1:00. I texted back, okay I'll be there. I went to my closet to find something to wear.
