Save Him

16. "Part Three"

"I got to go handle something real fast" Quincy walked back into the room and pecked Taee lips. Gabby smiled at them; she was happy her daughter found her a gentleman and she actually had a permanent smile on her face these days. "Where you going?" Taelynn pouted a little, She didn't want him to leave or not be around him, but he didn't know if Gerald would pop up or not. He wouldn't risk her getting hurt at all. "To get my little brother; that's all you need to know baby" He knew she would ask a million questions, but he couldn't say why he was going because they wouldn't let him and at the end of the day he wanted his baby brother to be safe.

"Well.. okay then" Taelynn mumbled and focused on her little brother. She wasn't going to pressure him into talking to her, and she wasn't going to be clingy and let him go do what he'd said he had to. Quincy noticed the change in body language and sighed. "Let me talk to you in the hallway for a minute" Dylan and Gabby both were stuck ok how they were a splitting image of them when they were younger, they were being creeps and just staring at them, admiring the young love. Taelynn sighed and handed her brother to her mom and stepped into the hallway, and he pulled her into the bathroom for privacy.

"What's with the attitude?" He asked her, not sure where all this energy was now coming from. But, he wouldn't leave her on bad terms or her being mad at him. So, he had to fix it and now.

"Attitude?" She scoffed. "I don't have one" She folded her arms and rolled her eyes, clearly with an attitude.

"But you do and we can stand right here all day until you tell me" He eyed her and she tried to walk away but he grabbed her and hugged her from behind. "You want me to handle this for you?" He slid his hand underneath her dress and felt how wet she was, and felt that she was throbbing. "All you got to do is tell me baby" He whispered in her ear and she bit her lip and moaned as he rubbed her through her panties.

She removed his hand; almost forgetting why she was mad at him. "That's now why I'm mad; since when you want to get your little brother?" She asked wiping herself with paper towel. "and since when we step out rooms to answer phones" She eyed him. "Also, we keeping secrets now?" She wasn't accusing him of anything but the situation rubbed her the wrong way; they were usually open with each other, and honest.

"What? You don't trust me or something?" Quincy had became offended and annoyed at the fact she was questioning him, as if he was on some other shit. "We don't have to be under each other all the time; and I don't have to tell you my every move.. I said I was getting my brother and that's all that matter, I'm telling the truth and if you think I'm a cheater or whatever then you don't know me at all." He shook his head and his phone went off; he glanced at it quickly and put it away. "I got to go, I'll talk to you later or some" He tried to kiss her but she moved back.

"I'll be staying the night here, go do what you got to do" She walked out and he was was about to follow her but decided against it, this was their first disagreement and he felt bad but he needed to get to his brother. "I love you" he yelled out behind her and she ignored him and went into the room.

She was offended he went off on her like that she knew he wasn't going to hurt her; she just wanted to be sure he was safe at all times because getting his brother meant seeing his dad, and she didn't know if he was ready to be around them alone. But, she wasn't going to argue with him she would just distance herself, if he felt like they were under each other too much he could have been said something. The last thing she wanted to be was clingy, so she would give him his space.

2 days later.

"Okay Quadir, What you wanna do today?" Quincy asked his little brother as he got him out the tub. It was easy going to pick him up, Gerald was no where to be found and Chrissy had told him he lashed out because he found out he had cancer; and it was spreading. Quincy cried for a while, he didn't want to lose him but if he did then he wouldn't have nothing to miss; and that was sad for him.

"Go to the park" he cheered. "Please brother" he begged and Quincy laughed, Quadir was happy to have a big brother, and he had the time of his life these two days with him. "Alright lil man, go get dressed" He ran off to Quincy's room where his things were and Q pulled his phone out, seeing Taelynn still hadn't responded to his messages or calls.

She had been ignoring him for two whole days and he was becoming annoyed now, she was being childish and he never said she was clingy or meant to say they be under each other too much. He couldn't even sleep these two days, and he couldn't stand not talking to her.

He laughed to himself seeing the Instagram post she'd just made. But she couldn't respond to him?

@Taelynn: Bestfriend got the job 😍 congrats @Josiah I love you shugaaaaa ❤️

Not only was he too close to her lips; the fact she could sit in the next nigga face but ignore him? Pissed Quincy off and decided to be childish, he didn't care. She knew what she was doing and he'd play her games.

@Quincy: Guess we applaud fish for swimming these days 😂 #BeStFrIeNd.

He decided to post the picture of him and Zhyre they had took months ago. He never saw her in that way and the picture was honestly friendly but he felt like giving the same energy out. He laughed as soon as an incoming call from Taelynn had came through, he ignored it like she had been doing him and got ready to take his brother to the park.

As soon as they were ready to head out, Dylan and gabby were walking in. They had been released today with their healthy baby boy, and seeing Taelynn and how pissed she looked Quincy regretted being childish and posting that picture.

"Hey y'all" Quincy spoke up with Quadir hiding behind his legs, he introduced them all and tried to avoid Tae as he walked out to his car and opened the door for his brother. Before he could walk to his door Taelynn had beat him to it and stood in front of it, she was pissed.

"So you was fucking with her huh?" She got to the point. Quincy shook his head and laughed at her being so dramatic, he never messed with Zhyre and he wouldn't.

"You ignore me for two whole days then boost you out smiling in the next nigga face and gone question me? Keep yo same little energy." He looked at her and felt bad seeing she was about to cry.

"But I missed you, didn't you miss me?" Her lip trembled.

"Nope; I got somewhere to be. Excuse me" She looked at him and the tears fell, she moved and started to walk away. "Baby wait, I'm just playing" Quincy felt his heart break seeing he made her cry, and grabbed her. "If I didn't miss you I wouldn't have blew your phone up like that; and no I never messed with her I was just being bitter" He wiped her eyes. "I love you and I'm sorry" He kissed her lips and hugged her. "You're such a crybaby" He sighed.

"You're mean" she laughed against his chest and hugged him tighter, these were the longest two days for the both of them. "I love you too baby"
