PHAT 3

Chapter Fourteen.

Bishop
One day later..

"That was dumb of you to text my phone" I said I'm frustration. "We supposed to not know each other" I continued. I skipped the part where Riya pulled her gun on me. I didn't want Mira to think I couldn't handle my own and besides this was my idea. I can't make her seem like I can't go on with my own plan. "It's not like they smart enough to know what we doing" she said smiling. Little do this bitch know they smarter than what she thinks. Riya put two and to together so quick I couldn't even get my lie together. "We have to play our cards better than what we did today or you gone get us both killed" I said. She smacked her lips. "We good relax" she said counting some bills. "Get ready I'm about to drive you home" I said. I can't think around Mira. She makes me stupid because of the stupid shit she do and say at times. "Great I can start shopping" she said smiling. "I bet" I said. I took my half and placed it in my closet where I kept everything I hid from Nikki.

When I dropped off Mira I stopped and grabbed me something to eat. I was waiting in line for my food and seen Riya. I wasn't going to say anything at first, but I haven't spoken to her nor Monte since that day. I started to walk over there and then I seen her go sit down at the table with a little boy and that dude I met at the barber shop. I wondered did he know that I hung around his daughter. That's probably why he approached me that day. I turned around and grabbed my food. I was about to pay when some said "I got it". I looked up and it was Rari. "No I got it" I said to the cashier. Rari handed her some bills a little over the amount for my food. "Thanks man" I said showing manners. "Aye B I would like you to meet my kids" he said. I nodded my head. Well that answered my question. He had no clue I knew Riya. "Alright" I said with a smile. I followed him to the table. Riya was to busy texting on her phone to notice me until Rari said something. "Riya and Daris this is B" Rari said introducing me. "Bishop" Riya said. "Y'all know each other" Rari said in a surprised voice. "Some like that" Riya said smacking her lips. "How y'all know each other" Rari asked. I was about to speak till Riya cut me off. "Mutual friends" she said keeping it short. I shook my head in agreement. "Well Bishop I ain't gone hold you up I'm sure you a busy dude" Rari said. "Some like that" I said. "Nice seeing you again" he said taking a seat. I nodded and said my good byes.

When I got back home to the house my moms was actually sober. "You bring some for me or just yourself" she said. I rolled my eyes because there has been hell of times where she eat in front of my face and not give me crumb knowing I haven't ate shit all day. "No didn't think you was going to be home and besides I ain't buy this" I said taking my jacket off. I hung it up on the coat rack. "Thought you didn't go with that girl anymore" she said with a smirk. "Some like that" I said. "What's something like that" she questioned. I really wasn't trying to hold an conversation I got to much to think about. "Nothing Nikki" I said. "My name is Nikki but not to you last time I checked I'm moma" she said getting mad. I rolled my eyes and laughed. "You must of found you a nigga, because that's the only time you think about your son or ready to act like a mother" I said with a smile. "So if you can excuse me moma I got more important shit to worry about" I said with an attitude. I tried to walk off but she grabbed my arm. She jacked my shirt up. "Look let me tell your smart ass something as long as you live in my damn you will never in your life disrespect me" she said. "I put you on this earth and I wouldn't hesitate to take your black ass off of it" she added rolling her neck. She let me go and told me to get out her face. I smacked my lips and stormed off to my room. I slammed my door and fell out on my bed. "You act just like your sorry excuse of a father" she yelled at me. I had enough. I opened the door and spoke my mind. "You got your nerve to call someone an sorry excuse of anything last time I checked I pay the bills around this bitch all you do is suck, fuck and get high" I yelled at Nikki. "I'm so mad at a man I never even fucking met because I want everything to be normal I'm tired of being the adult I been an adult all my life I never had a child hood. Why ? Because I was here cleaning up after you trying to fix a broken woman who can't fix herself" I continued to snap. "Bishop" she said trying to hold my hand. I snatched away. "Don't touch me Nikki" I said backing up from her. I grabbed my keys off the table. "I need some air" I said leaving her standing. I never spoke to Nikki like that.

As much as I knew it hurt her she needed to hear it. It was best for me and her.
