The Other Side of Love

Fashionably Late.

Samson POV: I guess I should tell you more about me since you know so much about my kids.
My name is Samson Niene Rodriguez. I'm 43 years old. Don't let the age fools you. Real Ps don't get old. I used to be in the streets heavily. And it's not like I didn't know better. I finished school. I went to college. I even got my bachelor's degree in psychology and a masters in business. Some in college and some in prison. But I never could get a good job because of my prior experience in being a criminal. I just turned my knowledge to the one thing I knew best. The streets. That's how I met Katey. I miss her. She the realist woman I've ever seen. I love her. We talk from time to time. It's never easy to just keep up with her. I'm looking forward to going to go see Momma Lisha before I leave Destin.
I still remember when I met Katey I was 17 years old. She was too. But she was older than me by three months. Everything happened so fast. We had the Dub lit. And we ran shit on the west side too. Everything was good. I started pimping when I found out she was pregnant. That wasn't enough so I started running packs. One time I caught her in my shit and I couldn't believe she was putting my child in danger. I locked her out the house and she moved in with my Momma. I started missing her so we got back together.
When Kaia was born we both tried hard to stay out the streets, but when that's all you know. It's hard to do that shit. Katey ended up getting pregnant again. I named him after my brother Cairo he got took from me one night when the police raided my trap. That's when I knew I had to leave. I left to try to make something shake in a city two hours from Destin. I was sending money and everything was fine until Momma called and said Katey had ran off with some new nigah and left her with the kids. I was too shame to come back at first then I said fuck that. I gotta be there. Sometimes the nigah gotta be the Mom too. I got on my shit and had us a little spot out in Atkins. I fucked up when I got greedy and tried to flip work back to some out of town nigahs. They went shaky and started shooting. The police came and I got hit with all type of shit. I was looking at life, but thanks to God I got out in eight years. By the time I got out and back to the Dub. My baby girl was pregnant and gone. Plus my son was already locked up. I knew then shit was foul and it was on me. I loss so much time to this street shit. I need help. And I can only get that from God. Only He knows what's truly happening. And all things come together for those Who love God. And sometimes that's all the love I have. Period.

Ashley POV: We took a seat at the table and everything was just frozen. No one was saying anything. Samson got up and came around the table and stood beside me. He reached his arms out and I stood up to hug him. We hugged and he kissed me forehead. "My daughter in law it's so good to see you." "It's great to see you Dad. You haven't aged at all!" "Girl you know!" Cedric stood and walked over to Sam.
As they hugged each other I heard sniffles. I didn't know what to do so I rubbed Ced on the shoulders. My baby hasn't been home in 5 years. So much has happened since he went in. I'm ready for him to get out so we can leave this place for good.

Will POV: I was sitting in the living room waiting for my father and my brother. I'm ready for this to be over. I can't believe he's making me step down and move out. I'm ready for him to take his old ass somewhere. I'm tired of him. He act like he's my parent fuck. As I was waiting I replayed that image of Kaia and Kendall in the kitchen. That public affection they show each other in front of me? I don't know how to take that. I don't know how to feel. My two wives are dating. Like what the fuck? I sighed as I laid back on the couch. I need to figure out how to get my wife back. I want Kaia. She is mine. Forever.

Kendall POV: We were getting ready to eat and I was in the kitchen helping Zo make last minute preps. "So you with Ky and Will huh?" I rolled my eyes. It always been something about him that makes me go ugh. I don't know what it is. "Why do you need to know? Who are you with?" "In with Brianna. Ask your brother." "Fuck you Alonzo." I grabbed the second pan Mac and cheese out the over and walked towards the door.

Floyd POV: Everyone is here. We are about to eat. I've talked to Sam about the new minister. It's going to be Drew. That's a lick really because that's no money out out pocket. We have a big business transaction coming up in a few weeks. It'll be the day after Fun Day. We all have booked a cruise the last stop is in Jamaica we gone meet up with our boys and see what's up there.
I hope Willis has everything in check by then.
