Baby We Got This

Chapter IX

Juliette

"Run Axle! Go baby! Go!" I was at the bottom of the bleachers screaming over the rail at Axle.

My baby was about to score his first touchdown. He played defensive back for his little league team. Giovanni was there, so was KT and Akira. Julian and Carynn had just walked in and my sister wasted no tie joining me in yelling.

"Run papi! Go papi go!" Carynn was on her tip toes next to me.

My baby scored just as the buzzer went off. All the parents started leaving the stands and going down to the field. Countless women kept stopping Giovanni, Khristian, and Julian for pictures. Akira, Carynn, and I just rolled our eyes and kept walking.

"Oh look at papi over there putting the mac down." Carynn nudged me and pointed towards Axle.

This boy had on his under armour shirt with his shoulder pads in his hand talking to some dancer. At least she was a dancer and not a hoe ass cheerleader. She was smiling and everything. He even had her dance bag over his shoulder.

The men came and joined us and we all watched Axle walk the girl over to her parents car in the parking lot. KT rubbed his hands together, "He get it from his daddy."

"Yeah let's hope he turns out nothing like you." Akira looked at him and rolled her eyes.

I started laughing. Gio tried to hold my hand, but I casually tucked them in my pockets and walked to the car.

"Yall can we do lunch cause I'm hungry." Carynn started whining.

I laughed. "No fat girl, but we can do dinner at our house at 7pm. Ima cook you favorite and everything."

"You gon make some fried fish, fried shrimp, potato salad, and dirty rice!"

I nodded my head. "Girl we gon be there at 6:30!"

Axle and the twins decided to go with KT until he came over for dinner later. So it was just me an Giovanni.

We were driving down the road in silence. "I need to go to the store."

He pulled into the local grocery store. We shopped in silence. When we went to the cash register the damn girl was star struck.

"Oh my god. Your'e Giovanni Issa and Juliette! Can I have a picture with you guys please!"

We took the picture and went home in silence.

Notice I keep saying silence. I really don't have shit to say to Giovanni ass. Like ever since I came back home we move in silence. There is nothing to say. I really don't even know how I feel about him.

When we got home he unloaded the groceries and I went upstairs to change. I took a shower to wash off the sweat and dirt. It was hot as hell at that football field.

Once I got out. I put in my PINK Victoria secret short and a black wife beater. I lotion my legs and put on my black polo socks. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and went downstairs to start cooking.

"You about to start dinner." Giovanni asked as I walked into the kitchen.

I nodded my head yes and began pulling pots out.

"You want the table stuff black."

I started boiling my eggs and potatoes. "That's fine."

"Juliette are you going to talk to me."

I was standing at the sink cleaning the fish and shrimp. "Nothing to say Giovanni."

He walked out of the kitchen and into his office and slammed the door. I just continued doing what I was doing unphased. I don't know what he wanted me to say. He played me. I can do this for the longest. Of course ima talk to him eventually, just not right now.
