Bet On It. (Short Story)

"I know you wanna roll wit a good girl, do it BIG, do it all for a good girl."



Cairo


"Cai where the fuck you at? You bet not be fuckin on me!" Shay yelled in my ear. I was honestly done with her. I only kept her round to get a quick nut. I was never gon wife her ass up. Just wasn't in me.

"Yo, that yelling shit gotta stop. I'm with my family so chill." She didn't talk for a bit. "Wait, hol up? You said family? Nigga, you don't have a family!"
"My son, and my future wife." I laughed. "Nigga what?! Please don't tell me you talkin bout Sienna's fat ass and her bastard baby." I clenched my jaw and tightened my fist.

"Bitch, don't get killed. Cause I got a couple niggas that's ready to dead ya ass! Disrepect my motherfuckin family again and I'll make that call!"

"How could you do this shit to me Cairo? I love you baby." She cried.

"Nah, you loved my money. Aye,but check this out,  I need ya shit out my house by Sunday when I get home. If I see anything that belongs to you there don't bother coming back for it cause it's gon be in the trash." I hung up and finished off my blunt before going back into the house. I sat on the island in the kitchen after I poured me a glass of henny I found stashed in one of the cabinets. It's had to be atleast two in the morning. I'm what y'all would like to call a night owl. I heard little feet coming down the stairs and looked up to see Zeer. He came into the kitchen rubbing his eyes. He stood in front of me so that I could pick him up.

"Hey lil man, what you doing up this late?" He rested his head in my chest before yawning. I laughed.

"Can't sleep. I want cookies daddy." I smiled before grabbing some out of a jar close to us.
"Only two. Ya mom would kill me if she knew. He grabbed the cookies from me and nibbled on them.

"Does mommy love you?" He asked. It surprised me a little. I looked around before making eye contact.
"Umm, I uhh, I don't-

"Ahzeer what are doing up this late? And you eating cookies?" Sienna walked into the kitchen in pum pum shorts and a large tee ( AN: pum pum shorts is just the name for booty shorts, it's just the Jamaican way to say it.) I admired her figure. She was just right. I don't give a fuck bout what no one say. I'm in love.

I cleared my throat. "I uhh, I gave it to him, he came down here, said he wasn't tired anymore." She turned the light on making me and Zeer readjust our eyes to the bright light.

"Oh, that's cool." She sat at the table laying her head down. "Why you ain't sleep?" She raised her head. "I heard noises from down here." She shrugged and laid her head back on the table.

"Daddy, can I have something to drink?" I nodded my head before getting up with him still in my arms. When I was about to get him some juice, Sienna got up and helped me find his cup. "He needs water, he just had cookies." She said before twisting the top on his cup and passing him it. She was so good with him, she knew every little thing about him, while I didn't, I could only blame myself for that though. She ran her fingers through his curls soothing him while he laid in my arms and fell back asleep. She looked up at me once she felt me grabbed her waist slightly. She smiled at me and I smiled back. This felt too right. I had a family. Shit, I ain't have one of those since I was seven. Dad got locked up, and ma was strung out, same hood kid story y'all prolly accustomed to. She released my hand from around her waist and tried to grab Ahzeer out of my hands. I stepped back and and nodded my head towards the stairs. She sighed and went upstairs with me behind. She opened his door and I laid him in bed. I stared at his room. The theme of the room was cars, literally cars everything. There were pictures of him and Si hung on the wall and one of me and Si when she was pregnant, I remember that day too. Lace was excited we worked out our problems so she said "imma take a picture to document this day, so smile bitches!" We looked like a couple. I laughed and rubbed my thumb across the frame. She walked over to where I was and looked at the picture. "You remember when we took this?" She whispered. I nodded my head and smiled. "Yea, Lacie made us take this cause we were getting along." She giggled and shook her head. "Only Lace would do shit like this." "But you kept it?"
I looked into her eyes. "I wanted him to atleast know he has a father."

"Si, I never wanted this shit for us. I wanted to marry you, have more kids, shit, I wanted to be the family nigga. Not the ruthless drug lord. She hugged me. I missed the feeling of her. "Shit just doesn't work the way you want it Cai. We all make mistakes. You weren't ready for a family, and I accepted it." She said letting go and walking out of the room. I sat on the floor watching my son sleep. I didn't want to move, just in case I missed something else.



Sienna.

"Si! You cookin breakfast or nah?" Gerald asked walking into my room. I threw a pillow at his head. He ducked. "Get out." I pointed to the door. Lace walked in and plopped down on my bed next to me. She messed with my face until I fully woke up. "Why are you guys so damn annoying?! My son is more mature than this shit!" They laughed. "You love us tho! Don't front Si!" Gerald said kissin my forehead. I blew my morning breath in his face. "You wrong!" He said mushing me. I laughed, got up, grabbed some leggings and a loose white tee and went to the bathroom to do my morning routine. While I was brushing my teeth I heard little banging.

"Mommy! Mommy, open de door! I got a surpwise!" I laughed, rinsed my mouth out and put my hair in a loose bun before opening the door. When I opened the door, I saw saw Ahzeer and Cairo standing in front of the door. Zeer was holding orange juice while Cai was holding food. I bent down and kissed his cheeks before taking the glass. "Thank you papas." He blushed and hid behind Cai pushing him to give me the food. I laughed. Cai handed me the food.
"Thought I'd grab sum for you to eat since you was sleeping and stuff." I kissed his cheek and thanked him before putting the food on a table near my bed and grabbing some socks out of my drawer. Zeer climbed in my bed changing the channel to Disney and getting comfortable under my sheets with his arms behind his head. I raised and eyebrow and put my hands on my hips. This little boy acts just like a grown ass man. Cairo chuckled. "And what do think your doing Ahzeer?" I laughed.

"Getting comfortable. Come on daddy get comfortable with me!" I turned my attention to Cai. He walked over to my bed before laying Ahzeer on his chest making space for me. He patted the bed. I sighed and got on the bed. I grabbed my plate and started eating. That was until I felt little hands tapping my shoulder. I already knew who it was and what he wanted.

"Yes Ahzeer?" I said looking at him laying on Cairo's chest. "Can I have some mommy pwesee?" He pouted. I forked some of my eggs and hash browns before telling him to open up wide. Cai laughed. "What?" I asked. "He had his own, and he did the same shit to me before coming up here." I shook my head an giggled. "That's Azheer for you." Cai placed his hand on my thigh and rubbed circles on it. I looked up, looking into his brown eyes. He smiled and kept his hand there. I could get use to this.
