Getting Grace

Chapter Forty-Eight

"You wanna go now?" Veneer asked. Grace nodded.

"He needs to know what kinda of car I want."

"What about the baby?"

"Oh yeah and that." Grace said getting in his car. They drove to Grayson's house and got out. Grace used her key to go in and looked around. She'd never been to his house before so she was suprised.

"Damn." She said.

"Aye who the fuck in my house." Grayson talked coming downstairs with his shirt off. "Oh Grace. How the hell you get in here?"

"Key." She said taking her hands out of her pocket. Grayson walked over and have her a hug.

"What you want?" He asked leading me back towards the door.

"Why you trying to get rid of me so soon?" Grace asked stopping.

"I'm busy." Grayson said.

"Bae who's here?" Dezmond asked coming downstairs. Grace looked over and scoffed. "Oh shit. Why the fuck is she here?"

"Aye you better watch your fucking mouth." Grace said. "Grayson why the hell is he here and why is he calling you bae?"

"Oh he didn't tell you honey?" Desmond said. "Grayson's gay."

"Grayson is not gay." Grace said.

"Grace just come back later."

"Naw. I'm not leaving my brother with him. That's Trayvon brother." Grace said. Grayson shook his head. "Yes he is. I dated Trayvon and he was always there. He's not your friend."

"You dated Trayvon!?" Grayson yelled.

"Yeah, but only until I found out you two were beefing." Grace explained.

Grayson studied his little sister like she wasn't telling the truth. "Where you meet Trayvon at?"

"Does that matter right now?" Grace said. "I'm not worried about the fact your fucking gay right now?"

"Are you his brother?" Grayson asked.

"No baby she's crazy." Desmond said.

"Grayson you don't believe me?" Grace asked angrily.

"Why would by baby sister lie?" Grayson asked.

"Has she never lied before?" Desmond asked. Grayson took his gun out and held it out at Desmond.

"Desmond. Don't tell me I let you live in my fucking house and you related to my worst enemy." Grayson said. Grace stood there with her arms folded staring Desmond down.

"Grayson baby," Desmond said putting his hands up. "I-"

"These to last words so chose them wisely." Grayson warned.

"I would tell you about my younger brother but you already know him pretty well." Desmond said before Grayson put a bullet through his head.

"Fuck!" Grayson yelled dropping his gun and Grace felt like she was going to throw up. "This why you don't allow yourself to get attatched to people because they snakes. Everybody."

"I guess I'll talk to you later." Grace said turning around. Her legs almost gave out as she headed towards the door.

"Hell naw." Grayson said turning from his phone. "Get comfortable because you got a long story to tell."

"No thank you." Grad said walking out and slamming the door.

When Grace got out she got in Veneer's car scarred. "My brother just killed his boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend. Can you just take me to Kelly's house. I need him right now." Veneer nodded and drove Grace to Kelly's house.

"I'll be home soon." She said walking up to the door. Kelly answered and she walked in hugging him.

"Hey Grace." He said kissing her head.

"Hey baby." He led her upstairs and Grace sat on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Grace shook her head.

"I just wanted to see you." She said with a small smile. "I need a shoulder to cry on." She too him with her eyes tearing up.

Kelly reached over to her and pulled her into his arms. Grace tried to get the images out of her head as she cried on Kelly.

"Mhm. I don't know what imma do with you." Jerome said to Deira.

"You can buy me Pink." She said.

"Naw. You need a job for that." Jerome said. "I got some work for you."

"What you got for me?"

"You can pill and bag this molly for me." Jerome said. "Afterwards you can sell it. Whatever money you make is yours."

"Ok." She said sitting down. "You don't have to babysit me I know what to do."

"Alright. Imma take Saint to Tyler range and then I'm headed to Grayson's house." Jerome said. "Saint come on!"

"Coming." Saint said jogging downstairs. "Let's go."

Jerome drove him to the range and got out. "Wassup man."

"Jerome! Saint! Ready for today?" Saint nodded and gave him a high five. "Go in and get ready. I got some other kids in there today."

"He straight?" Tyler nodded.

"Anybody mama worth looking at in there?" He shook his head.

"Well let me go tell Saint something and then I gotta bounce. Frank will be here though." Jerome said going in. "Saint come here."

"Wassup?"

"Remember Frank gotta pick you up." He nodded and Jerome left.

"Aye what happened here?" Jerome asked looking at Desmond.

"You looking at Trayvon brother."

"What? How you find out?"

"Grace. She showed up here and Desmond came out. She recognized him and told me." Grayson explained. "But she knows I'm gay now and she's mad at me."

"How Grace know?"

"She dated the nigga."

"Desmond?"

"No Trayvon." Grayson growled. "I'm tired of her fucking with stupid niggas behind my back."

Jerome glared at Grayson. "If you for something to say say it."

"I said it. You ain't shit and you know it. You had no business with my sister. You bullied her and made her cry. You be on her heart. She loved your stupid ass." Grayson said.

"Ok and I loved her, too. I still love her. I'm not lying. I love Grace." Jerome said. "Forreal."

"Shutup." Grayson said. "If you loved her so much why you and Frank dog her out?"

"Because she was cheating on me and I was mad." Grayson shook his head. "I'm serious. She was having sex with dude and it made me mad."

"Who?"

"Kelly," Jerome said. "And he got her pregnant."
