~ 2 Months Later ~
(Jacob’s POV)
As of last night I was officially homeless again, I had finally escaped Aysia's trap. With the last of the money I had stolen from her I only knew of one place I could probably crash until I got back on my feet, that’s if it worked. Anybody who knows me knows I hate asking for favors but shit, I was desperate, broke and I’d had enough of that bitch. After coming home night after night of her pushing me that I needed to attend AA meetings I knew it was time to go. The intercom blared through the busy airport and announced my flight was leaving in 15 minutes. I gathered all my bags together and boarded the plane. Already in my seat and comfortable, it hadn’t dawned on me that I didn’t even call. Well, I didn’t even have a fucking number anymore, just an address. I was running on all luck now. I just sat back, ordered a scotch and drifted off as the plane settled in the air.

Before Lea got up for her morning run and woke the baby I was already up at 6 am on my way to the skating park. I know, a grown man with a child still skate boarding. It sounded dumb, but I was only doing it for fun, and i already had a career and my own gallery. It’s just, the gallery wasn’t enough for me. I was more than grateful my paintings helped take care of my family but it just turned into work. It wasn’t enjoyable anymore. Somehow, skating relieved me. I didn’t tell Lea because I didn’t think she’d get it. I grabbed my skateboard from the trunk and rode along to the park with my headphones blasting my eardrums. I don’t know how much time had gone by, but I knew I was there for at least 3 hours just skating around tryna learn new tricks and shit. It wasn’t until I had pulled out my phone that I realized it was 9 am and I had 4 missed calls from Lea. She usually didn’t call me around the morning time so I knew she something had to be up.
"What’s going on?" I asked right after she answered the phone. She sounded hesitant on the other end. "Uh I think you need to come home, like now."
"What’s going on, is it Lay?" I began to panic.
"Nooo, no just come here now, please." her voice was low.
I ended the call and raced back home wondering what Lea called me for. I quickly shoved my skateboard in the trunk and walked into the house.
“Long time no see, bruh.”
It was Jacob. I nodded my head in response not really knowing what to do or say to him. The last time I had seen Jacob, he was piss drunk and looked like he hadn't bathed in days. From what I saw now he looked a lot better since then, but something was still "off" But nonetheless I guess I was glad to see my bro, we had been through a lot together in high school. He had my back.
"What's up man? How you been?" I greeted throwing my keys onto the table. Lea had glared at me as she poured some freshly brewed coffee into a mug. I couldn't really read what she was feeling, but baby mama did look good in her maxi dress.
"Jacob and I spoke before you got here. He needs to ask you something" Lea blurted, handing Jacob the steaming cup of coffee.
"Sooo, wassup?" I glared at him, kind of amused. I had already known what he was going to ask once I noticed his suitcases lined up by the door. This should be interesting. Jacob was the most prideful nigga I knew.
"So uh...I um. I'm in town for a few days and you know," he cleared his throat, "I'm just...you know what it's coo'
"He wants to know if he could stay with us until he gets back on his feet, babe" Lea answered for him.
I nodded, scratching the stub under my chin. My was my mans no doubt, but I hadn't been around him in a while. I had a daughter and a woman to look after. I honestly didn't know.
"Look, you can crash here for a couple of nights and we'll see how that goes."
Jacob nodded in agreement, sipping at his coffee. I guess we'll have to see.

"Yeah, that's right just like that baby." he hissed in my ear as I mounted myself up and down his dick. I didn't mind fucking him, he was packed but he always came too fast, I must've been that good. I started moving myself around him in circles as he began to slap my ass with frustration. "Ah, fuck. I'm about cum!" he growled into the air. I rolled my eyes and my mumbled, "Of course you are". After I was done with him I put on the red laced robe and snorted what was left of the white magical powder on the night stand.
"That shit is gonna kill you one day baby." he lectured making his way to the shower.
In my head I thought "If only I was so lucky." but he hated when I said shit like that. Seeing everyone at the reunion brought back a cluster fuck of memories, most of them I'd wanted to forget. I wanted to show up and let them know I made something of myself, that I wasn't the same aggy bitch, even if on the inside I felt empty and invisible. They didn't have to know that. It was just hard to watch. Daniel and Gen had even stayed together, soon they would have their own little family. What did I have that I could show for from years to come, that I could pass down for generations? Kimsha had went into early labor the night of the reunion too. We all stayed at the hospital that night to make sure she and the baby was okay, even Robyn. When Roc saw that little guy his eyes lit up like fireworks. Would I ever have that? It's what I feared the most, which is why I used drugs to escape my thoughts.
"You leaving soon? My wife gon show up any minute now."
"So?" I shrugged his words off. How could he not know by now that I didn't care about his wife? Or him for that matter. I was in her robe for Christ's sake. He just a supplier of drugs and dick to me.
"Don't worry I'm leaving now, I have to be in the studio at 11anyways." Every night, the same shit.
(Roc’s POV)
I didn't wanna tell anyone yet, but I had booked Kimsha and I, and all of our high school friends a 5 night stay at a resort in Panama, a little island all to ourselves to do what we wanted. The last night ending with Kimsha and I renewing our vows. Just seeing everybody made me real happy for some reaon, even though there was drama. I missed them all, plus Kimsha was going crazy with Mckenna and our new born son, Mason. We had a nanny but Kimsha didn't trust her with the kids, and I had mostly been away training so I couldn't help around all that much. It was like a little gift to her. I didn't book a room for Jacob seeing as he'd been MIA for years, so I just let that one go, but I knew Kimsha missed him a lot.
"What are you thinking about over there?" Kimsha asked, rubbing some lotion down her legs. Damn, she had me so frustrated. Even after the baby was born we still couldn't have sex until after 6 weeks. I was a dog in heat like shit.
"About how I'mma tear that ass up once these two weeks go by, be ready." I warned, sliding myself down on the bed behind her. She laughed and looked back at me.
"You need to be worried about what I'mma do to you. boy." she snapped back, pushing her ass up on me a little. She ain't had to do me like that.
"Ight, bet" I said, fixing my face in between her neck, softly kissing and nibbling her soft spot. I knew I had got her when a soft moan escaped her mouth.
"Ah yeah, like I thought." I gloated. Just when she was about to show me up the phone rang, it was Geneva. I picked it up and started talking in a ghetto girl tone.
"Wassup gurl, tell me all da latest shade, what da tea is?" I could hear her crackin up on the other end as Kimsha hit me on my shoulder grabbed the phone. Those two stayed on the phone nowadays. They got real tight. I took out my laptop to make sure the flights and everything was booked correctly. Panama was right around the corner.
