To say Marquise was excited was an understatement, my little bro was bouncing around in the back seat like he had drunk a whole gallon of pre-workout, while Ace sat there trying his hardest not to laugh. The entire ride Cori kept looking at me, shaking his head and smirking; I knew exactly what he was looking at Jade had attacked my neck last night and early this morning.... I was definitely going back once I was finished with Marquise. I looked back Marquise and tried to contain my laughter, it was going to break my heart to crush my baby brother's dreams but this little dude was too damn smart to be slinging dick for almost nothing.... I truly believed in my heart that Marquise could change the world if he really set his mind to it but he just needed a push in the right direction also some advice from his big bro. We got to the site where the shoot was being held and Marquise damn near jumped out the car before I even had a chance to park the car, Cori just shook his head knowing we were about to piss Marquise off.
"Damn Marquise slow down.... aight here's the deal Saint helped me set this shoot up so you're representing not only yourself but him as well. Saint also wanted you to pick the person you had your first shoot so there are three women in there for you to choose from.... go on ahead while I make a quick phone call." I said as Marquise, Ace, and Cori all walked into the studio. "How're my babies doing?" I asked as soon as Jade picked up the phone.
"Troix is sitting on the couch, eating cereal and making a damn messy. Nasir is crawling around, grabbing on to everything.... I really think he's going to be standing up in a few weeks.... while this little girl..... she keeps looking at me, like she judging me or something because I won't hold her bottle for her. I'm telling you Noah y'all got her spoiled as fu... heck." Jade said and I smiled, hell yeah my baby girl was going to be spoiled, Jade was just going to have to get used to it because as my only daughter whatever Khaliah wants she gets. "How's the shoot going?" Jade asked and I looked back and saw Marquise walking back to the car....
"I'll call you right back.... what's wrong Quise?" I asked biting my tongue trying to keep from laughing while Marquise slid into the passenger seat.
"Take me to see Saint, I'm about to beat his ass...... bro let me break it down to you like this; the first chick had was wider than me, Ace and Cori combined.... I don't have a problem with big girls, hell they got the best pussy but come on even I got my limits. The second chick looked like Titi and you know exactly who I'm talking about; blue hair, bright white lipstick, moustche and I'm almost certain I saw an Adam's Apple. And the last chick.... I'm just going to say it, she looks like Yzma; The Emperor's New Groove is one of my favorite movies but I REFUSE to fuck someone who looks like Yzma.... so take me to Saint so I can beat his ass or call him and tell him to send the real pornstars." Marquise said heatedly.
"Look Quise.... if you think you're just going to jump straight into fuckin some of the baddest pornstars you're sorely mistaken. You gotta work your way up and start with the less than attractive ones, now we could've easily set you up with some world famous pornstars but what fun would that be.... you said you were committed to doing this so either get your ass back in there or we can leave the choice is yours." I said looking at him.
"Man why y'all play me like that?" Marquise asked and I could see this was really fucking with him.
"Because you are smart as fuck Marquise, hell you were helping me with my homework when you were a little kid and there are times when you Dad 2 comes to you for legal advice.... not really but you get my point. Marquise, you can be whatever you want, the way I see it is simple, what's stopping you from making your own pornos and still being a doctor or something else.... talk to Jose that nigga got a vault of home movies but he still has a nine to five. I just don't want your brilliance going to waste because you are obsessed with seeing yourself fuck on video." I said.
"Why can't y'all just let me be great? I feel like I'm providing a service to the world by showing my dick on screen and y'all niggas are hatin." Marquise said looking out the window.
"Nigga I've always supported you, when they wanted you to skip like three or four grades and you wanted to stay in the same grade as Ace and them, me and Cori were the ones who convinced our dads that pressuring you wasn't the right move.... so I support you but not with this shyt, find you a chick and make movies with her....." I said and Marquise turned towards me.
"First the only reason Cori didn't want me to skip grades is because he didn't want his little brother in a higher grade than him..... but if y'all don't want me to be a pornstar, I have a list of demands that need to be met. I'll send it to you once I have everything written down and if you want dad to look over it fine but there are a few things that are non-negotiable." Marquise said getting out the car and knowing him it was going to be an insane list, but I'd deal with that when the time came......
Later that day I was sitting in the living room letting Nasir and Khaliah climbed over me while Troix kept telling them to move. Saint was sitting in the corner with Jade and Mario planning our birthday party..... at some point Saint was going to have to realize we were grown as fuck after turning twenty-one parties really stopped being important to me but this nigga wanted any reason to celebrate.... we were supposed to leave an hour ago but Jade mentioned Jakari was getting dropped off by his dad which made me change my mind.
"Jakari's home....." Jade said and I got off the floor and followed Jade outside with Saint right behind us. "Hey....." Jade said to Jakari's dad and he started to say something but his attention was immediately drawn to Jakari who ran towards me and jumped into my arms. "How was he?" Jade asked and that nigga looked at Jade and smiled.
"He was coo..... we rode around Seattle, I bought him whatever he wanted.... speaking of which, MY son wants a dog so you should ask your husband if it's okay if your baby dad buys HIS son a puppy." Dude said looking over at me and Saint. "I know how sensitive that nigga is and the last thing I want is him running back to Zyshaun getting me cussed out."
"Ayy Jakari you wanna go in the house to see your brothers and sister?" I asked loud enough for that nigga to hear me.
"Yeah, Dad......" He said grabbing my hand and started trying to pull me into the house. "Come on let's go....." He said in his quiet voice and I could see his sperm donor fuming.
"Jade why don't you take Jakari inside while I talk to this dude real quick....." I said giving her that panty-melting smile and Jade looked a little worried that something might happen, but nevertheless, she grabbed Jakari's hand and took him into the house. "Here's the deal bitch nigga..... you can kill all that 'MY' son bullshyt aight because let's face it you're feeling some type of way that Jakari calls me dad and I know it hurts your fragile ego but you'll just have to get used to it because I'm not going anywhere." I said looking into that nigga's eyes.
"Please Noah.... my ego is anything but fragile and if Jakari wants to call you dad that's fine by me..... that shyt doesn't faze me in the slightest we both know who his REAL dad is. But if I really wanted to be childish I could bring up all the times Jade called me Daddy, now I know that shyt would break your heart...... but again I'm not petty at all." He said smirking. "Wassup Big Bro...." He said nodding towards Saint who started looking around confused.
"Who the fuck is he talking to?" Saint asked and I shrugged. "Look we're not family.... you may have the same dad as me but I don't fuck with Bitch Ass Niggas." Saint said putting his phone in his pocket.
"It's pretty sad you feel that way Saint.... not the, us not being brothers part, I'm talking about how you're still clinging to the lie that Zyshaun is your dad. We all know you're adopted and it kills you that I'm his REAL son and you are just some orphan he found digging through a trashcan or something....." Jakari's dad said and Saint started laughing.
"You know what, it's a good thing my dad is away on business otherwise he'd be extremely pissed about what I'm about to do......" Saint said giving me the smile I labeled his 'Watch This' Smile and I took a step to the side as Saint punched Juelz dead in the face and the next thing I knew the two of them were in my front yard going blow for blow while Troix yelled 'FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!' from the window..............................
