I was sitting on the couch as everyone looked between Giovanni and I. "So why am i here?" Giovanni said staring at me. "You need to tell her what you found out." King said. He glanced at my father then back at me. "You were staying with Stassi and she told me what actually happened." I stared at him confused. "I told you what happened." "No, you told me what you thought happened. You and Chris didn't actually sleep together."
"We woke up the next day and...." I trailed off. "You two got drunk and you wasted alcohol all over yourselves so Stassi tried to help you two change but when you two are drunk yall are annoying as hell." I rolled my eyes. "You two passed out half dressed. When Stassi tried to tell you what happened you told her you didn't want to talk about so she let it go."
This entire time i thought... I looked up at Giovanni to see him staring at me. "I thought... then that means i didn't..." "No you didn't but that still doesn't answer why when i asked you if it meant anything you couldn't answer me."
"At the time you and i were fighting all the time and he was there. He listened to me and i guess the attention he was showing took the place of the attention you weren't. I didn't and I don't want him." We were so wrapped in each other that we didn't notice everyone had left
"I was working." He said as he came and sat next to me. "You say that like we're broke or struggling. We have enough money to last a lifetime. What I really need is for you to be home with your family."
He looked me in the eyes. "I do what i do because I never want our kids, Hassan or Jay's kids, our future grandkids shit even our grandkids-grandkids to struggle. I want to do the same thing my grandfather did for my dad and me for our kids and the next generation. That's why I work I'm thinking about the future" I cupped his face. "But you're so caught up in the future you're missing the present." He nodded his head. "What about Que? Chris was there with you from the beginning and you owe him." He looked at me like i had two heads. "I don't owe that piece of shit anything." "He's doing 20 years for you." He let out a breath, but didn't say anything for a minute. "It's almost 12." He said as he went to the door. "Mama." I turned to see Langston. "What's wrong?"
Evie
"Baby? Why are you calling him baby?" I groaned. "Daddy he's my boyfriend. Calm down." I said as i went to go look for my mama. "Your only 17 you don't need a boyfriend." "Where's mama?" I asked with a sigh as we walked upstairs.
"Hey." Mama said walking out of Munchie and Zay's room. "Did you have fun?" She asked. "Yes. Guess what?" I said following her to her room. "What?" "Que asked me out." I said cheesing falling on her bed. "Oh that's great babygirl." I realized my dad was still standing there. "Wait are you two back together?" i sat sitting up smiling. "Yeah we're good." "Yay!!" I clapped throwing my arms over their shoulders kissing both of them on the cheeks. "God finally." We all turned to see Claire's noisy ass at the door. My parents laughed and motioned her in.
"Daddy." Marcello said running towards him. "Hey little man." You could tell he was sleepy but I guess he wanted to see dad. "Baby I think we should have a family dinner." My dad said. She looked at him. "As long as I don't have to cook it's fine." "And Evie I want you to invite Jacques." My smile turned into a face of horror. "Why!? I mean why?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "I'm trying to be nice here. He is your boyfriend." He said the last part begrudgingly. I smiled. "He asked you out?" Claire squealed. I nodded my head. "Grazie papà." I said kissing his cheek. "Sì. te Sì tre letti. Adesso." (Yeah. Yeah you three bed. Now.)
I took Marcello out of his hands and as we were leaving i heard my dad speak. "Now I think you and i have some catching up to do." Claire and i looked at each other and shuttered. "Why are they so nasty?" Claire sighed walking to her room. I chuckled putting Cello back to sleep.
Que—Monday
I walked into school tired as hell. "Yo Que!" Des called. "What's up" I said nodding at while pulling Evie into my arms. "Hey beautiful." I said hugging her. "You okay?" I asked looking at Evie. "Yeah but are you okay because you look like shit." I chuckled. "Come with me."
"So what's up?" She asked as we sat in the back of the library. I leaned my head on her shoulder because i was that tired. "I met your grandfather this weekend." "What!?" she whispered yelled. I told her about some of the shit that happened. "Damn." "You said your grandpa was an Og but you didn't say he was the Og." She sighed. "Well to me he's just my papa. What else did he say?" I paused thinking back.
Flashback
"I'm here to speak with him." He said pointing at me. "Did you do something?" I tried to think but i stopped when i heard King chuckle. "Desmond I just want to talk to him." He said turning his attention back to me. "So you're dating my granddaughter. Correct." I nodded. "You finally asked her out." Des said smiling. "Yes he did and from what I've been told your parents are Chris Jackson and Angela Allen."
My hand locked into a fist and I closed my eyes taking a breath. Hearing my mother's name always caused mixed emotions to stir in me. "You have a little sister, Jordynn who has a heart condition." He walked towards me stopping just a few feet away. "I found all of this out but i still have one thing i want to know. What are your intentions with my granddaughter? Because if you're trying to follow in your father's footsteps I promise I'll make sure your family tree ends with you." I looked at him like he lost his mind threatening my family.
I walked right up to him and looked him in eyes. "I don't know what your problem with my dad is and i don't care. I would never do anything to hurt Evie. She's one of the few people whose opinion of me matters and i would never want her view of me to change." I said. His friends scoffed while he looked at me waiting to see what i was going to do or say next. "And i don't care who you are. Don't speak on my family you don't know shit." I said with venom in every word.
He glanced at his men and they all smiled. "He's got balls." The bald man said. King chuckled. "You're alright." I looked at him confused. "I just wanted to see what you were about." I looked at Des and he was laughing. "My nigga you knew about this." "Yeah he's does that with all of us." I smacked my lips and turned to King. "As long as you don't hurt my baby you'll stay on my good side." "Shit if he hurt Evie Giovanni and Naya gone get him before you do." The light skin man said.

I finished telling her what happened and she was laughing so hard. "Aww baby. I should have warned you, but i didn't know he was going to do it so soon." She said in between her laughter. I smacked my lips mugging her. "I'm sorry." She said cheesing. "Gimme a kiss." She stopped laughing and looked at me. "Oh i see you stopped laughing, huh." She rolled her eyes and kissed me. She went to pull away but i grabbed her chin pulling her back in making her moan into the kiss.
"Hey you two break it up." One of the librarian's called.
I pulled away from her biting my lip looking at her. She looked away from me fanning herself. "I-I-I think we should go to class." I chuckled smirking at how bothered she was.
"Alright come on." We stood up and i grabbed her hand. "Oh wait i have to tell you something." I turned and looked at her. "My parents are having a family dinner and they want you to come." She said softly. "Do you want me to come?" I said looking down at her. "Yes." I nodded. "Then I'm there." She smiled pulling me into hug. I groaned because her lips lightly hit my neck. She giggled. "Let's go."
