Invasion Of Privacy

Chapter 35

Cardi POV

I would have a lot more time on my hands this week since Migos went on tour. This means that I won't be in the public eye anymore for a while.

I didn't like people following me around when I want to spend time with Offset. Little did I know, once you gain a little notoriety in the press, they follow you around forever. And unknowingly, I was about to learn that.

Raleigh and I were becoming good friends. That's all I wanted with her. I didn't want to add her into my love life and end up breaking her heart.

I had tried explaining to her my thoughts but she wasn't having it. "When I want something, it's either handed to me the easy way or I take it from whoever else wants it."She told me the other day.

Here I was, at her house, trying to explain to her my feelings again.

"I swear, Belcalis, I will drop Jeremiah's grades so quick. I'll make him go from an A to an F! Don't fuck with me!"She warned. "You could get fired for that."I objected.

"I don't care. I'll make him repeat the second grade."She went on. "Okay."I gave in. Jeremiah was too smart to be held back over something so stupid.

"Good."She opened her robe, show casing her body.

~~~

"There's a field trip Friday and I want you to chaperone."

"Okay."I mumbled while rushing to put my clothes on. I was glad the night was over so I could get back to Nicki and Jeremiah.

Over the course of the next two weeks, Raleigh had started calling me all times of the night and day. When I'd try to spend time with Nicki or Kiari, she'd blow up my phone with threats. She'd threaten me by using Jeremiah's grades as a pawn to get me to do what she wanted.

It was becoming a problem for me but I could do nothing about it. I was off tonight and Nicki and I had just finished having sex. She was asleep with her head on my stomach; still breathing heavy. We literally just finished.

I pulled her up in the bed since we both sleep wild, cuddled her and went to sleep.

Around four in the morning, my phone rung out and I knew exactly who was trying to get in contact with me. However, I had no strength to actually reach up and answer it. The phone finally went to voicemail and seconds later it rung again.

"Your...phones ringing."Nicki mumbled half asleep.

"Shh, ignore it."I told her. "It's so loud."She cried, trying to snuggle into me.

I turned the ringer off so it would just vibrate. Next thing I knew, Jeremiah had trudged into the bedroom and was talking to someone on my phone.

"Hey, Ms.Johnson."He said sleepily.

"Hey sweetie, where's Belcalis?"

"She's asleep. And mommy's asleep too. Why you calling Ms.Bacardi? Better yet, why you calling her at five in the morning? School isn't for another three hours."He yawned.

"Give her the phone."She told him. "She's asleep."He repeated.

"Jeremiah, give her the phone."Raleigh demanded. He handed it over and went back to his room to go to sleep.

"Hello?"I answered, still asleep.

"Why you ain't answer when I first called?"She asked with an attitude.

"It's the wee hours of the mornin' man."I was beyond irritated. She's waking my family and I up in the middle of the night on some bullshit.

"I wouldn't have blown it up if you would've answered."

"What you want?"I sat up in the bed. "You know damn well what I want."She laughed. I hung up the phone, not wanting to talk anymore. I sat it back down on the nightstand, turned it off and went back to sleep. I couldn't deal with Raleigh some times.

She's so intent with having me in certain ways when I never even wanted to have sex with her. I was so tempted to go and talk to her boss- the principal. Because it's like, first it's the calls. What's next? She'll be on some stalker type shit and I'm not up for that.

When it was time to drop them off, I did. I went back home and got dressed to meet with the principal about my situation with one of his teachers. I dressed professional so he'd take me serious. A sleeveless, black and white bodycon dress that stopped right above my knee. I paired black flats with it and pulled my hair back into a low ponytail.

"I'm here to speak to the principal, Mr.Taylor."I announced to the lady in the office. She had the school phone to her ear and a pen in her hand.

She motioned for me to go sit down and wait for her to get off the phone so I did. And the devil herself walked in from the back with a stacks of papers.

I'm guessing she noticed me because she sent me a text asking why I was posted up at her job.

I didn't text her back, I was going to see her in a few minutes.

"Who did you want to speak with?"The lady asked me once she was off the phone.

"The principal."

"Okay. Why?"

"Raleigh Johnson, second grade math teacher, isn't doing her job."

"I'll phone him in. Just a second."

She pressed a button on the school phone and talked into it. The principal stood before me, greeted me and lead me back to his office.

"I wasn't expecting any visitors today, excuse the messy desk. I have a meeting in an hour and as you can see, I was preparing for it. How can I be of assistance today?"

"Your second grade math teacher, Raleigh Johnson."

"What about her?"

"One of her students, I babysit for. Jeremiah Gaulden. He's in her first class. She's been threatening me with his grades."

"What kind of threats?"

"If I don't take her out on dates she'll drop his grade or if I don't have sex with her she'll drop it by two grades. She's calling me all times of the night disrupting my family."I explained. He stared at me.

"I would think you're lying because she's a fairly nice person in the work place."

"Sir, she's a totally different person outside of her teaching job."

"Let me finish. I don't think your lying because another parent also called to complain about something similar to this situation with her. I let her slide with that one but this is the second time she's been accused. Do you have any proof of her threatening you with Jeremiah's grades?"

"Yeah, I have texts."I pulled my phone out of my purse, turned it on, entered my passcode and went to Raleigh's recent texts. "Feel free to scroll because it is a lot."I added.

I felt as if I was finally getting rid of this chick from messing with my son's grades. Well, he's like a son to me.

I watched him scroll up and down through our texts, proving to himself of my words.

"I have all of the evidence I need. I'll be sure to handle her and keep her out of your hair and Jeremiah's hair. As a matter of fact, let me call her in here right now."

He buzzed for her and we waited for her to come in. I grew more nervous as the clock ticked, waiting for her to arrive in his office. I felt as if I made the right move to rat her out because the look on her face when she saw me in here was inconceivable.

Little did I know it would only make my life worse than before.
