"New New, do you love me? Are you riding? Say you'll never ever leave from beside me, cause I want ya, and I need ya. And I'm down for you always." I sung, dancing towards New New as she smiled and shook her head. I'm happy to report that I was feeling one hundred percent better and I haven't heard from the annoying ass voice, in the back of my head, in the last few months. I'm not sure if it was because Dean was by my side every step of the way, or because I had finally found someone to love and who loves me just as much, but whatever it was...I was completely happy.
"You are a mess." She said, throwing her arms around my neck. She kissed my lips and pressed her forehead against mine. "But anyways...your brother is here and he has the cutest little surprise for you." Pushing her to the side and rushing towards the door, my eyes lit up when I seen Dean coming down the hall with my niece.
"I didn't know you were bringing Bella Bellz to see me today." I beamed, taking Bella from him and hugging her. Considering the fact that she wasn't used to me just yet, she still got a little squeamish when I held her in my arms. She reached for Dean, but I turned away and walked over towards the window, talking to her and making cute baby noises. "What you not gon do is act like that towards your favorite uncle."
"She'll come around when she starts seeing your ass more often." Dean said, taking a seat on the bed. I could tell that something was wrong with him, but I wasn't going to ask unless he refused to tell me.
"So what's been going on with you?" I asked him. That wasn't me necessarily asking him about his personal life, but I guess it was a question to give him a little push.
"What hasn't been going on? Me and Talia got into it and she went to go stay with Ilene for awhile, but thankfully she's still allowing me to see my baby girl."
"Damn man...what did you do?" He sighed and ran his hands down his face, looking up at me with regretful eyes.
"Six months ago...instead of killing Jocelyn like I was supposed to, I uh...I let her go."
"YOU WHAT?" I shouted, scaring the shit out of Bella. She started crying loudly as Dean jumped up and grabbed her from her.
"What the hell man!" He snapped, consoling her.
"Don't you try and what the hell me, you ass! I basically gave you that bitch on a silver platter, and you didn't knock her ass off? What the fuck is wrong with you!" I snapped. Just knowing that he didn't kill Jocelyn, even after she did all that crazy shit to him and his family, it was seriously blowing my mind.
"I couldn't bring myself to do it man! I really couldn't. The love I had for her, plus her crying and begging, it just...it just made me decide not to do it. Besides, you and everyone else knows that I'm not the killer type. That was always your job." He said. Sounds to me like he was making up any and every excuse in the book, which was only pissing me off more.
"Excuses, excuses, excuses! How can you possibly still love a girl that cheated on you multiple times, set you up by recording a video of you two almost having sex and screwing up your relationship with Talia, AND almost killed you and your family? I just don't get it!"
"Exactly! You don't get it, Jude! You've never been in love, or loved anyone except yourself!" He snapped.
"See, that's where you're wrong big brother. I'm in love with someone who actually loves me back, despite me being somewhat mentally crazy."
"You sure she not just with you for the checks?" I snapped my neck in his direction, noticing that he was trying to lighten the mood with that corny ass joke.
"Jokes won't change the way I feel about you right now." I grumbled. "What did Talia do when she found out?"
"What you think she did? She beat my damn ass! With ONE hand, I might add, all while holding Bella in her arms!" He huffed.
"That girl there is superwoman." I laughed, picturing the fight between them. "So what are you gon do about Jocelyn? Since obviously you still love that hoe for whatever reason-"
"Hold the fuck up! The only women I am in love with, are Talia and Bella! Yes, I did still have love for Jocelyn, but I don't anymore!" He snapped, cutting me off.
"Aight then, so what are you going to do about the whole situation?" I asked him once again.
"First things first, I'm going to get family back together, and then I'm going to team up with Tevin and we're going to get rid of Jocelyn's ass once and for all."
"That's not the order I would've done it in, but whatever." I murmured, rolling my eyes. "You sure you don't want me to handle this? I mean...I am getting released for the holidays pretty soon, and you know I've been dying to kill Jocelyn's ass for the longest."
"No Jude, no. You're finally better and in a really good place. I'm not about to mess that up for you, especially when this is my mess to clean up. I'll handle it and this time...I'll handle it the right way." He assured me.
"If you would've handled it the right way the first time then we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, now would we?"
"Fuck you, Jude!" He hissed, making me laugh. "I gotta head out though, but whenever I hear back from your doctor about signing the release forms, I'll be back to come get you."
"I'm looking forward to it. Bye Bella Bellz. Uncle's sorry for scaring you earlier." Bella waved bye to me, moving her cute little hand. I had to admit, I was looking forward to spending some quality time with her. I wanted her to be excited when she saw me, instead of scared like she normally is.
Plus, despite what Dean was talking about, I was going to help him get rid of Jocelyn's ass. I had been looking forward to that moment since I met that bitch, and I refused to let the opportunity slip through my fingers.
