Noel

Tuesday, March 27

I can't believe I was saying this... but I was so glad to be back in Louisiana. We arrived home about 5 in the morning and decided that we all would just sleep in for the day, we'll except for Elena. She ended up going to school because she wanted to be up under Kd but I don't blame her, I would be the same way if I hadn't seen Kentrell in a few days

The sound of Dana fussing in her room filled my ears making me wake up. I started to sit up which woke Kentrell up

"Where you going?" He asked in a raspy voice

"To see what's going on with Dana"

"She'll be alright, she grown. Lay back down"

I smacked my lips, hitting him and he laughed a little.

"I'll be back"

"Hurry up" he whined. I got out of the bed and pulled down on my shorts a little as I exited the bedroom. As I walked down the hall, I could start to hear Dana's conversation clearly. It sounded like she was arguing about the baby

"You act like I give a damn! My son will be FINE without you, the fuck?"

I walked into her room and saw she was sitting on her bed with her phone to her ear. The look on her face showed exactly what I already knew, she wasn't too happy about her conversation. I could hear Deion yelling through the phone and I couldn't make too much of what he said out, but I did hear him say fuck the baby and that she better not ask him for shit when he's born. I saw that she was about to start tearing up and she nodded

"Bet! Fuck you Deion. Fuckin' deadbeat!" She yelled before hanging up the phone. She threw it on the bed and exasperated loudly while wiping her eyes before looking over at me

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I came in here to ask you the same thing"

"Yeah, I'm straight"

"You sure?" I asked as I sat down on the bed beside her "I heard you fussing so I came to see what it was about"

"That wasn't nobody but Deion's stupid ass. I swear I hate him"

"What happened?"

She sighed and scratched her head before slapping her hand down on her lap "everything was good at first while we were talking about the baby and he asked what everybody was doing. The minute I told him you and Kentrell were in the room sleep his whole mood changed and he started flipping out saying he didn't want his child nowhere near Kentrell and a whole bunch of other shit. So we ended up getting into an argument and he pops up outta the blue saying I got pregnant on purpose and a bunch of other ignorant comments. As soon as I started to defend myself and tell him that I don't need his lil money he started shouting fuck our son and how he don't want nothing to do with him"

"All because he don't like Kentrell? He doing this to my nephew!"

Dana nodded then shrugged "it's whatever though. My baby will be straight regardless"

"We know he straight forever! Forget his stupid daddy"

I rubbed Dana's belly and the sound of my momma's room door opening caught our attention. I would hear her shoes shuffle across the floor and next thing I knew she walked into Dana's room. Her hair was tied up and she looked exhausted. She's been down since grandma died and although we try to help, she says that she's alright even though I know she's not.

"I'll be back y'all. I'm running to Derek's house for a while"

"Okay. Have fun" I told her and she laughed a little while walking out of the room. After a few moments the front door opened then closed and I looked at Dana

"I'm worried about her"

"Me too. But hopefully Derek can take her mind off of it for a little bit. She need some dick" Dana said while rubbing her belly and I frowned up my face

"No"

"What?"

"I don't wanna hear about my momma needing some dick"

"Girl how you think you got here"

I rolled my eyes and paused as I heard Kentrell talking. It sounded like he was on the phone

"What?" Dana asked and I held my hand up so she could be quiet and I could listen closely. He was saying something about fighting then I heard him say something about my house. I arched up my brow and I heard his feet touch the ground. He muttered something under his breath and after a while he walked out of the room so I got up and left Dana's room to see what was going on. He was walking through the living room, heading to the door. Before I could call his name he walked outside so I followed behind him and stood in the door. There was arguing going on next door and I saw Ben's car in our driveway. I looked next door and saw him arguing with Judah while his friends stood around looking like they were ready to jump in at any moment

"Nigga you mad cause I got yo' bitch pregnant? You act like I wanted that baby, especially by a quick nut" Judah said to Ben. I sighed and saw Kentrell pull up his pants a little as he headed next door

"What's the problem?" He asked, making Judah look over at him

"I'm straight. Ain no problem ova here"

"Yb you'on want no smoke. I promise you, you know I been lookin fa you" one of Judah's friends said and I mentally face palmed myself. By the way kentrell's head cocked to the side I could tell the expression on his face

"Kentrell! Ben!" I called out to them and everybody looked at me

"Noel Just go back in the house" judah told me and Kentrell quickly looked at him

"Don't talk to my girl unless you want yo ass beat"

"Me?" Judah asked then laughed a little "stop talkin to Noel. That won't ever happen"

"See y'all playin wimme" Kentrell said with a laugh and I shook my head while walking out of the house, forgetting I had on shorts

"Kentrell, bae just come back in the house"

"Damn Noel. You lookin thick in them shorts. When you gone let me play up in there?" The same boy that started with Kentrell a few moments ago said and that pissed Kentrell off. He punched the boy in the face, causing him to hit the ground and he stood over the boy

"Y'all gone have enough of disrespecting my girl! Playin wimme like I won't kill y'all"

I grabbed Kentrell's arm and pulled him back towards the house but he quickly snatched his arm away

"Fuck you out here with them small ass shorts on anyways"

"Really Kentrell? My bad I didn't stop to put on pants cause I wanted to make sure my boyfriend was straight"

He glared at me "don't play Noel! Take yo ass back in the house. You tryina play too like I won't hurt yo ass"

"You know what, fuck it. I'm tryina keep you outta jail but you wanna fuss over some shorts. Fine! Do Whatchu want" I fussed back at him and walked over to my house again. I didn't have the energy to argue with Kentrell. I was over this arguing shit period so if he wanna get his dumbass in trouble even more then FINE!
