Sweet Chocolate

Tanisha

*Knock knock*

"who is it" I heard a voice yell then the door opened

"what are you doing here"

I walked past him and put my Coach bag on the couch, while taking a look around "I see you've been renovating"

"well I haven't my wife has" he said with a lot of emphasis on the word "wife"

"oh really" I smiled sweetly "and how is Tanya doing and where is she"

"She's on a business trip but don't worry about her why are you here"

"Straight to the point I've always liked that about you, I said while taking a seat, but I'm here because a certain parole officer didn't tell me their parolee was released"

He looked at me confused "what are you talking about"

"Jacobs been released, he was released two years ago actually and why wasn't I informed Roger"

"ughh" he sighed while running his hands over his face and taking a seat across from me "you told me you didn't care what happened to him you said and I quote "fuck him just keep him in that prison for ten years and I'll be fine" and that's what I did, I didn't inform you on anything"

"well you could've at least given me a call like hey the guy that wants to kill you is out of jail"

"Well there's nothing more I can do for you Tanisha, he's about to be off parole"

"what, how is that even possible"

"the man has connections and tons of money he can make shit happen"

"Is he back to selling drugs becau--" Roger put his hand up to stop me from talking "the money is legal" he said

"how" I was mad as fuck he need to either disappear or go back to jail

"like I said the man has connections, why do you still have beef with him y'all should just let bygones be bygones."

"he's turning my daughter against me, every since he came back its been hell for me; i took care of my daughter by myself and ill be damned if he thinks he's just gonna walk in and mess my life up or mess up me and Alaina's relationship"

"he's just trying to be a father to his child, you kept him away from her for ten years he could have been out after 8 years but you made sure he didn't and that's fucked up; you're a manipulator Tanisha"

I rolled my eyes and waved him off "yeah yeah well can I get his address"

"oh i don't think I can do that" he said while standing up "you have to leave my wife is going to be home soon"

"I thought you said she was on a business trip Roger" I said while standing up and looking at him, he was a fine white boy, from his dirty blond hair, green eyes and athletic built mm mmm mmmmm

"well she is she just had went to um the uh" he stuttered looking around trying to avoid eye contact with me

"lies lies lies Roger no more okay how about we take this to the back room" I said while leading him.

Fifteen minutes later I walked out of his house satisfied because I got the information I needed and soo much more.

Next I have to stop by Jacobs house, I cant believe he owns strip clubs nigga must be rolling in money I thought to myself as I pulled up to my house.

~~~•Alaina's POV•~~~

I woke up to the sound of the front door slamming. "Alaina Ginger Rose Jones get down here" I rolled my eyes and checked the time on my phone 10:31 I was still stuck on the drama from earlier I did not feel like going at it with my mom to add fuel to the fire.

I threw the blanket from off my body and walked downstairs, my mom was standing in the kitchen I looked at the dishes in the sink, the crumbs on the counter and floor and sighed

"how old are" she yelled crossing her arms

"seventeen" I mumbled

"huh speak up I cant hear you, you can talk all loud with your dad and all your friends but when I ask you a question you wanna mumble and shit now imma ask you again and you better speak loud and clear, how. old. are. you."

"Seventeen" I said loudly

"no you're not"

I looked at her confused "yes I am"

"no you're not you're five years old since you don't know how to clean up after yourself, you ain't no damn seventeen because when I was seventeen I always made sure the house was clean"

was that before or after you slept with you're boyfriends cousin I thought to myself.

"Alaina are you listening to what I'm saying"

"I--" I started

"See that's you're problem you're not listening, don't start smelling yourself and think you can do what ever you want because you're still living under my roof so you follow my rules"

I honestly wanted to just go back to bed I did not feel like hearing this.

"Wash the dishes and clean these floors no you know what matter of fact clean this house living room, bathroom, closets everything better be spotless"

I stood there with my mouth open she cant be serious that'll take forever "but I have school tomorrow and cleaning all of this will take a long time"

"well you better get started then you wasn't worried about school when you was out till 12 in the morning so shut up and clean when I get back everything better be clean"

She said and walked out the door "ughhhhh" I screamed and went upstairs to grab my phone I wasn't worried about school its about to be out in a month anyway, I just ain't wanna clean.

End of text convo

I put my phone back in my pocket and my headphones in my ear, I wonder what he has planned I hope its nothing crazy or weird I thought as I started cleaning.

Two hours and eighty songs later (not including the ones I repeated), I was done as I was walking up the stairs my mom walked in the front door, I kept walking up the stairs I don't have time for her my arms and legs were sore from scrubbing and standing for too long. When I got in my i plopped on my bed wrapped up in my blanket and went to sleep.
