Wait No More

Chapter 10

Ja'Lai

It's been about two months since I moved to Detroit. Its not the best place on Earth, but at least we doing a little bit better up here. The people cool, I ain't had to beat nobody ass yet, but females always mugging. 

Chresanto constantly tries to sexually harass me, I'm still cool with Bre and Lyric, and my grades are decent. That goes to show how I can change for the better. Moving here is doing me justice. I haven't smoked or drank and God knows how long. No fights, sex, or sneaking out. I should have put money on me changing when I told my mom. 

"C'mon girl, stop day dreaming bout me." Chresanto said throwing a pillow at me. 

"I was not, so don't get your head all bucked up." I said throwing the pillow back at him. I turned my body to face him so that we can complete our assignment. We were partners in our health class. We were assigned the female reproductive organ. 

"I know a way that I can learn more about this." he said smirking.

"How?" I asked.

"You can just come give me a live demonstration." he said biting his bottom lip.

"You are soo nasty." I said laughing, copying down the information from my laptop.

"You make me this way baby." he said touching my thigh. I looked at him and we both laughed. 

We had finished about an hour later and we was just chilling and clowning. Chresanto and I are just friends, and that's all I really want to be right now. It took him a while to get the hint, but he still tries flirting with me on the slick. I sometimes catch myself doing the same thing, but I know staying friends is in our best interest. 

"Monae I'm home!" I heard my mama say, before she opened my bedroom door. "Hey Chresanto, you hungry? I got chicken."

"Yeah." he said getting off my bed. I followed behind him downstairs to the kitchen. A box of chicken from Popeyes was on the counter with a box of fries and biscuits next to it. We both fixed our plates and went back upstairs.

Chresanto

Lai is so fucking beautiful. If she would just let me hit once, damn; but she just be playing games. 

"Lai, um, I'm 'bout to head out. See ya tomorrow." I said rising up from her bed. I stretched and grabbed my stuff before making my way to her bedroom door with her following behind me. We had got to the living before she asked me a question that I thought will change my life forever.

"You going to homecoming?" she asked.

"Yea, why?" I questioned.

"Oh nothing, just wondering." she said sauntering towards me," I was thinking that we should go together, and do some things after."

She grabbed the back of my head and started sucking on my neck. She reached into my sweatpants and started stroking me with her soft ass hands.

"Shit." I grunted out. She stopped kissing my neck and lead me to the couch. Before I could sit down, she pulled down my sweatpants. My boy standing at attention, if she wasn't playing games she could have all of this. She dropped down in front of me and started sucking on the tip as i grabbed a handful of her pink hair. she was bobbing her head up and down stroking the rest that she could-

"Chres, I know you hear me calling you?" 

"Oh, my bad ma." I spoke licking my lips. I saw her eyes linger there for a second before looking back in my face.

"So, are you going to homecoming?" she asked for the second time. 

"Yea, only if you go with me." I threw out there. She tried to hide the small smile that was on her face  before she finally answered.

"Yes. I'll go to homecoming with you." she said putting her head down. I don't know why she acting shy, that's the least thing that she is. 

"Alright. Well, um, shit. We gotta dress up for this shit, huh?" I asked and she started cracking up laughing.

"Yeah dumb ass. What colors we wearing?" she asked. Does she not know i know nothing about these things, so I just hit her with that straight face. And she started laughing again. "How about black and white?"

"That's cool with me." I said nodding and opening the door. I'm gon look important with a black tux on. "Alright, bye."

"Bye, see ya tomorrow." she said standing in the doorway waving. I pulled off and got a call from MDOC.

"Hey Chres baby." she spoke softly into the phone.

"Hey ma." I sighed heavily already knowing what this conversation will turnout to be.

"Can you come, um, get me out." she asked.

"Yea, but that nigga staying." i said sternly

"Please sweety. " she begged. I just hung up. That nigga ain't my real daddy, so what the fuck i look like bailing him out of jail. 

I made a U-turn in the street and headed towards the correctional facility. When I got there, I slammed my car door and walked to the front door. I was searched by the guards and walked through a medal detector three times before i was allowed to the front desk.

The blonde and chunky white lady looked up from her typing and asked that same line I've heard at least twice these last two months, "What can I do for you sir?"

"I'm hear to bail out Paula Walker." I said, getting my wallet out my back pocket. 

"Alrighty," she said typing away at her computer again," she set bail for $500 with a $250 fine." she spoke politely.

"Okay." I handed her my card, she swiped it, and I waited until I had to type in my pin number. After everything process, a guard was walking from the back with my mother.  I grabbed my card from the receptionist and began walking out the door, to my car. I sat in my car until she got in, then drove off. I didn't say anything to her the whole ride to our house. When we arrived, I got out my car, unlocked the front door and went straight to my room.

Sometimes I don't understand how she could be so stupid. If she would still be with my dad, things would be so much better. I just might as well go move in with him, but I love that woman so much I don't want her to be here by herself when that bastard of a husband she has, starts beating her ass. So I stay to protect her. He made her start drinking and doing drugs, she doesn't come home at night, or sometimes at all. He is killing her slowly, and she isn't realizing it. Shit pisses me off.

I'm back .
