Invasion Of Privacy

Chapter 65

Ken POV

"Did you say what I think you just said?"I asked, making the whole room quiet.

"No."Miah lied straight to my face. I know damn well this boy did not call his Mama a bitch just now.

We were all chilling in the living room and Nicki had asked him if he wanted to watch tv with us. And if I can recall correctly, Jeremiah said "I got better things to do bitch." and started to walk towards the kitchen.

The tension got more intense but I wasn't going to hit him in front of company. Bel and Ki were over for movie night and so were Ki's kids.

"Ken,"Nicki muttered, grabbing my hand as I got up. "No,"I snatched away from her. As a dad, when my kid gets out of line, it's my duty to get everything back in order. So that's what I was going to do. Nicki and I have been letting him slide with some of the things he says but this is just too far.

"It's okay, Ken, it's fine."Nicki spoke up as I started to take off my belt.

"Jeremiah get your ass upstairs right fuckin' now!"I screamed, highly annoyed.

He said nothing as his head hung low while he trudged up the stairs and I was right after him. I never thought about hitting my kids with belts but I guess that's what it's come to.

"Miah whoopin'?"I heard Colten say to Nicki. I shut the door behind us, closing us in Miah's room.

"Do you have absolutely no regard for your mothers feelings?"I questioned. He just sat there. "Then to embarrass her in front of company..."

I have no clue what else to do with this boy if this whooping doesn't impact him enough to make him stop treating Nicki in such a way. You know that phrase "I gotta put my foot down and I know if I do. It's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you."? Yeah, I was definitely feeling that right now.

"Don't come out this room until I say so."I ordered, slamming the door shut.

When I came back downstairs, everyone was back to normal, laughing at the movie. I took my seat by Nicki and she laid her head on my shoulder.

I pulled my phone out and went to my notes. I typed up a sentence and showed it to her.

"You're silly."She whispered.

"I'm serious. Come on,"

I got up and went to the back, into our room and shut the door to wait for her. I'm horny tonight and company will not stop me from bustin' in my fiancée.

Jeremiah POV

"Miah?"My little brother, Colten, asked as he peeked into my room.

"What do you want?"I asked. I was mad. Mad at father for whooping me. He's never done that before and it really hurt me. It hurt my behind and my heart. I didn't want to be bothered with anyone right now.

"Are you okay?"He asked. Colten is four years old but he's smart enough to interpret different things and mood changes.

"No."I gave him nothing but the truth. Dad really got to me today. Before he whooped me, he lectured me about hurting Moms feelings and about Colten looking up to me. He said I should change the way I act towards Mom before Colten picks up on it and starts doing the same thing.

"What's wrong?"

"You wouldn't understand. And besides, you can't be in here. You're gonna get in trouble if Dad catches you talking to me."

"I can't talk to you?"

"Not right now."

"But you're my brother."
