Crazy In Love

Chapter Four

De'juan

After Laila and Brittney walked off, I looked at Chad like he was stupid. "Man, what the fuck" I said to him. He looked at me, and you could see guilt all over his face. "Bro, what the hell happen. It wasn't thirty minutes after she was so happy to see your dumb ass, you turn around and make her cry" I said annoyed. "Man, look it's not even my fault. Shaye ass popped up out the stall running her gums about us fucking and shit," he said. I chuckled, " I told your ass the other day that you fucking with that girl was going to back fire. I told you bro, I told your ass but nope you don't want to listen to me. I understand we young, but you young not stupid. Well, you are obviously stupid because Brit is a good girl & you fucking up with her makes L.A. think I'm on the same shit you on" I practically yelled at him. He smacked his lips, " I know man, I love Brittney ... like I really love her man. I don't know why I keep fucking up, it's just in me. I been dating this girl for about three years now and she still haven't left my ass despite the bullshit I do. I truly think she not going to fuck with my ass anymore Juan. I don't want to lose her, but if she do leave me, I'm just accept it because that was foul. Not only did I hurt her, but I got bitches laughing at her. That's not cool, I don't deserve her man" he said. He put his head down, to keep from crying. I have never seen Chad like this. I never even thought he loved Brittney, hell I never even thought he was the loving type because he always fucking off on some broad. "Look Chad, you need to do everything in your power to get Brittney back. If you love her, you need to get your shit together and do right by her. Show her that you are done fucking the clown ass bitches and that you want to start over," I said. He nodded, "thank you bro" he said as he dapped me. I nodded, and we headed out the mall. We hopped in my Camero and headed to the warehouse. My dad is the biggest King Pen in Georgia, and you know I'm next in line to take the throne. I was well respected out here. So, it was crazy why dude even wanted a problem with me back at the store. When we pulled to the warehouse, I saw my dad 2017 Range Rover parked out front. Both Chad & I hopped out my car and headed to my dad's office. "Wassup pops" Chad & I said in unison. "Wassup with you young bucks? Why you here," He asked? "Just checking upon you pops, seeing do you need any help around her old man?" I stated. He chuckled, "No son, I'm good around here but here is twenty- five g's to put in your account, and 25 for you too Chad. Never know when some might happen to me. I been giving y'all each 25g's every weeks, since y'all were 14. Y'all should have over a million in that account, you guys are set for life" he stated. I furrowed my eyebrows, "what you mean pops, don't get to talking like that man" I said. He looked at me, and stated "I'm just saying. You always have to hope for the best but prepare for the worst, remember that." I nodded, but that didn't sit right with me at all. "Anyways, how mom doing" I asked? "I haven't saw my mom in a couple weeks, I know I been slacking, but I be so caught up with getting my business degree , pops I don't even know why you made me go to school." He chuckled, "she cooking dinner tonight and wants you both to be there and I made you go to school to have clean money, so 12 won't be suspicious of you. You'll see it's going to work out son, you are going to see," he said. I nodded, "well what time is dinner and what she cooking" I asked? "It's at 7:00; greens, cornbread, fried chicken, corn on the cob and spaghetti with chocolate cheesecake," he said. I grinned, my mom knows me very well. She just knew what I loved. I was going to invite Laila over, so my folks to meet her. I prayed they liked her, because I honestly value their opinions. "Chad, invite Brittney to dinner, I'm inviting my girl and you know pops like Brit, but it'll be good for momma to meet her too" I said. He nodded, and pulled out his phone to call her. She answered and I could hear her cursing him out. I couldn't help my laughter. He needs that cursing out. Chad got up and walked out listening to everything Brit had to say to him. "What your boy do," pops asked? "Fucked some broad and she saw them at the mall and ran off at the mouth earlier today" I said with a shrug. Pops laughed and shook his head, "reminds me of myself, I don't know why Jayda stayed with me, but I thank God she did. The same thing Chad doing to Brit, I did to your mom" he stated. I took in his words, and just thought. "Why was pops always there for Chad, why did he always make sure Chad was straight, why did he always put money in his pocket," I said to myself. I shook the thoughts out my head and told Pops I was going to see him later. When I walked out the warehouse, Chad was sitting on my car still arguing with Brittney. "Look Brittney, is you going to come or not. I don't feel like fucking arguing with your ass! I said I was sorry a million damn times mane, I fucked up I know that but I'm not perfect and" before he could finish his statement; she said "I'll be there hoe ass nigga and hung up" I was dying right now. This shit was hilarious. He looked at me and smack his lips. "She stills love me," he said with a big ass grin. I nodded, "yea, but that don't mean she giving into your ass just yet." He shook his head like he understood and we hopped in my car and headed to my condo. When we made it to my condo, Chad hopped in his all red Challenger and headed home to get dress for this dinner. I walked in and look at the time, it was going on 6. I called L.A. to see would she come to the dinner, and of course she said yes; I was going to pick her up in thirty. I walked in my room to find some decent to wear. I grabbed my khaki shorts, Ralph Lauren short sleeve button down, and my loafers. I decided to take a quick shower, to knock that warehouse smell off me. Twenty minutes passed and I hoped out the shower putting on my outfit. I added, my gold watch, and my gold chain. When I was done, I locked up my place and headed to pick up my lady.
------------------------------------------
After about thirty minutes of driving I was pulling up to Laila's apartment. "1108" is her apartment I thought to myself. I got out and headed to knock on the door. I knocked on the door and she opened it looking so beautiful. She had on a pink blouse with a biege skirt with floral patterns, with pink sandals. She had curly all over , with some pearl earrings. She was beautiful. She smiled, "Juan," she stated knocking me out my thoughts. "I'm sorry, you look beautiful," I said. She chuckled, "thanks you don't look half bad yourself." I chuckled. "You ready, " I asked? She nodded, locked up her place and we headed to my parents house.
