Buried Treasure (a boondocks fanfiction)

Huey

Nyla POV

"Don't go in yet."
Cameron pulls up to our school. Before we got out she sprayed us with some kind of perfumes and air fresheners.
"It's so nobody can smell the weed smoke. Bibi if you need a ride back home meet me out front. Now hurry up and get out."

Bonnie led me to the back door we used to sneak out. Nobody even noticed us walk right in.

We showed up just before the dismissal bell and the hallway was flooded with kids.

"See I told you we'd be back on time. We didn't even get caught did we?" She says at a high altitude of confidence.

Still ditched tho.

"I'll forward you the work after Chelsea sends it to me."
"Ok that's good. Appreciated."
"I'll see you again tomorrow. I'm glad you had a great time."
Correction. Terrible. As in not great.
"Yeah Thanks. I gotta go meet Jazmine outside. Bye."

I walked off and waved goodbye and she waved back walking the other direction. I made it the front of the school to meet Jazmine and her bmw.
"Hi baby how was your day? Did you make any more friends?"
"Yeah it was ok."

  When she pulled off she began sniffing the air.
"Do you smell something?"
"Uh...no."
"It smells like.......febreze and..."
"I don't smell anything....might just be the city."
"Yeah. Prolly so."
I can tell she was confused but she let it go and moved on to the next subject.

"Anyway baby when we get home I have a big surprise for you."  She squeals
"What is it?"
"Now if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."
"No it wouldn't but you're keeping me waiting. You know I don't like waiting."
"I know but I promise it's worth waiting for."
"Is it gun control?"
"No"
"Equal pay?"
"I wish."
"Funding for planned parenthood?"
"Nyla, stop guessing. You'll find out when we get there."

    Alrighty then. I may have lost this one but I got my revenge by annoying her the rest of the way home.

   When we finally made it to her door and she pulled out the key she stopped to speak.
"Now I want you to know this was a surprise for me too. He ambushed me and if something goes wrong and he offends you just tell me ok?"

I shook my head yes even though I have no clue what she's talking about.

She takes a deep breath and says

"Everything is under control."then proceeds to turn the knob and open the door. When we made it inside it looked like no one was there.

"Hey can you come out? We're back."

Who the hell is she talking ab....

    My thoughts was interrupted when he showed up. The man with the large afro, medium brown complexion, poor disposition and maroon eyes.

Jazmine was the first to break the silence.
"Now that I have you both here we can start over and I introduce you properly."
Neither of us said anything.
"Huey this is your daughter,Nyla."
"Hey." He spoke
"Nyla this is Huey. He's your father."
The word father kept playing over and over again in my mind. This is my father. And it was him. I have a father that wasn't Thomas Dubois . Instead he was Huey Freeman.

   "I'm going to leave you two alone for a bit." Jazmine stated "I'm going to the back for a hot bath." And then she walked away leaving me alone with my fathva
"Hey."
"Hi." I responded
"Can we sit down?"
"Sure." I said as we sat down. It was still kinda quite for a minute.
"It's Nyla right?"
"Uh yeah."
"I'm really sorry about everything and how I acted when we first met."
"No biggie. It was only natural."
"So all is forgiven?"
"Kinda."
"Right."
We was awkward again but I needed to speed this along because there was things I needed to know.
"Where did you go?"
"Excuse me?"
"When you left woodcrest. Why did you have to go? For as long as I could remember everyone was always crying about you."
"I leave that affect on people."
"But why?"
"It's complicated."
"So..."
"Look all you need to know is some white men I knew before I was your age gave me a neat gig. They paid me and gave me more than I needed so me and some others put in some work for them. I had to disappear and nobody had to know where I was going."
"But didn't you miss your family and your friends?"
"I didn't think about it at that time. I didn't have much family besides Riley and Granddad and I didn't think they'd care. To Riley I was just a 'gay ass hater faggy boy.'."
I started laughing because that's sounds like something a young Uncle Reezy would say. I was laughing so hard I gripped my stomach.
"That's not funny. You know what it's like having so much to say but no one listens?"

   To an extent. In the 6th grade there had been this big wave of anti feminist/ meninism(that's a joke for anyone that's confused.). This one weird republican kid really managed to convince our classmates that feminism was male hating and gives women an excuse to be self entitled victims. I tried to explain that's not what it was at all but he had everyone calling me the sjw feminazi. That's wasn't even clever.

The kid eventually stopped when my friends and my right hook had to intervene and no one called me those names again. The only people I cared about listening to me was my family and my best friends because they cared about me. I couldn't imagine the people I loved didn't value my opinions and wasn't valid.

"Jazmine listened to you."
"I know."
He buried his face in his hands ignoring my presence. I feel like he just realized how much he took Jazmine for granted.

"I don't know what I ever did to deserve that girl. I did her wrong. All I did was make her cry,ignore her,insulted her and I was controlling. I cursed at her cause she tried flat ironing her curls and those lil ass skirts."
"Why?"
"Because Nubian princesses should wear their hair the way it is. She had been brainwashed into thinking straight is better than her best african attribute."
That's that hotep shit.
"So if I straighten my hair will you get mad?"
"No. I won't like it but you can do whatever you want. Jazmine can too."

I guess that means he realized his mistake and grew out of that.
"So what is it that you do?" I asked.
"What?"
"What is this work you do that keeps you paid and traveling?"
"Little girl that's classified information."
"Are you a drug dealer?"
"No"
"A cop?"
"Fuck 12."
"Harvest organs for the black market?"
"I didn't even know that was a thing."
"......a terrorist?"
He slowly blinked
"You are Jazmine's child."
"But I really just wanna know."
"I'm sorry but I can't tell anyone. If I do then you'll probably never see me again."
"Wait are you going to leave and I won't see you again till college? Even Jazmine came to see me on special occasions."
"No but I gotta work. Tell you what because I really wanna be in your life I'll make a deal with you. If I call you sometime and see you at least every other week would you try to at least make this work?"
"Deal. But can you at least get along with Jazmine? I didn't like you arguing with her last time I saw you."
"Ok but I can tell you first hand Jazmine and I still have some issues to work out. I think she'll be my friend again."

"Your issues couldn't be bigger than mine. At least you know your grandparents are actually your grandparents. And your play Uncle didn't turn out to be your real PETTY uncle. Or your friends aren't connected through crazy things your adults relatives did in the past. And at least your mom and sister aren't the same person. And imagine someone you've heard of but never seen is your biological father and no one bothered to tell you."

He chuckled for a second at my explanation.
"That quite a lot for someone your age. But you wanna know something? When I was 8 and Riley was 6 we lost our parents, Melissa and Russell, to a really bad accident. My mom was my world. We was really close. When she was gone I had nothing to be happy about or look forward to anymore. They wasn't coming back and I never got the chance to say goodbye. You kinda remind me of her."

"I'm really sorry about that and I don't wanna sound rude but what does that have to do with us?"

"In life you only get one mother. You have been blessed to have two."

End chapter. So Huey and Nyla finally had a conversation. Huey gave us the ultimate life lesson we all have been told before but needed to know. We'll see how it all goes from here and Tom has an announcement coming soon. We will find out Huey's lil occupation but later. I'm going to take some time and work on my other stories such as we're stuck together. (https://my.w.tt/rS5p7M9OXT)
Also does anyone know if I should've used affect or effect when Huey says "I have that affect on people."? Thanks for the support. Vote & comment please. Please be on the lookout for spelling, grammatical errors and missing words I might have missed even though I already checked.
