Jalen
"You gonna show up or not bitch?" I was getting pissed, and quick. Our aunt and uncle wanted to meet up today. They said be here by 7, of course I made it, but Jordan is already a hour and a half late. "I'm on my way damn!" He yelled back and ended the call. I groaned and tried my hardest not break my phone. I huffed and just decided to call my girl. "Hello?" Instantly I felt like her voice calmed me.
"Hey baby." She talked to someone before answering me. "Hey, wassup?" I leaned up against the back of my car and smiled a bit. "I just wanted to hear your voice. Why are you still awake? Thought you were taking a nap." She let out a long dragged out groan. "Olivia drunk ass showed up and I had to put her to bed, she just laid down."
"Take a nap babygirl, you need it." I could just hear the pout on her lips from the way she whined. "But I wanna wait for you~."
"I dont want you to wait, it's gonna be a while anyway." Jordon pulled up and honked his horn loudly. "I got to go baby, I'll be there soon ok?" She hummed and I heard movement. "Ok, make it back to me." Jordan got out and walked towards me and I held up my finger, telling him to wait. "I will ma, take yo ass to bed."
"Bye baby." She said and yawned. "Bye baby." I replied and Jordan laughed when I hung up. I resisted the urge to punch him and just shoved past him. "Get yo ugly ass in here and lets get this over wit nigga." It was a fancy little spot that they chose. Tracy (aunt) and Trevor (uncle by marriage) were quietly talking when we walked up. I leaned and kissed Tracy's temple before shaking Trevors hand.
Before yall judge me, Tracy gold diggin ass didnt come around till one of my cousins told her I had money. So basically she aint no real, faithful auntie, causing me to just call her by her name.
Jordan followed my actions and we sat down across from the couple. Tracy reached and placed her hand over mine before speaking. "How are you doing baby?" I slid my hand away and sneakily wiped it on my pants leg, Jordan snickered and I held a straight face. "Fine, how's George?" Gerorge is my baby cousin. About a month ago he had surgery on his eye so he could see out of it. He is about to turn 8 this year. Tracy and Trevor sighed at the same time causing me to raise my brow. "He's in a lot of pain." Trevor said quietly.
He's a soft spoken white guy who is lik 6'3 and only 47. Tracy is a dark woman who ACTS white and is 59. I hate the couple, personally.
Jordan scratches his head as a waiter comes up. We all order wine, which is disgusting but I took one for the team, and food. Tracy looked back at us, "So, how's the selling going?"
"Seriously women?" Jordan said, a little too loud, earning a kick under the table from me. "Shut up bro." He sighed and put up a thumbs up. Jordan hates her just as much as I do so this is just awkward. I guess she found this funny cause she let out an obnoxious laugh. Trevor eventually laughed along, making me kinda loosen up. "Lets cut to the chase. You only call us when you need something. Specifically money, so whats up?" I didnt like all this waiting around shit, either we were gonna talk about what is needed or we gonna leave it alone and go our separate ways. Tracy raised her eyebrows and pointed a wrinkly finger at me. "Now you listen here boy-"
"Listen to what? You wont do shit besides go and tell my ma how I 'mistreated a family member'. Woman please! Now what do you want before me and Jordan get out this place." Before Tracy could say anything, Trevor held up a hand in front of her and cleared his throat.
"We can't pay for George's treatment anymore. Your aunt-"
"Tracy." Jordan said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Tracy-" Trevor corrected. "Is off of work to take care of him and I won't start working again until next month. He is taking classes from home, which adds another $200 to the amount per class. George wont be able to go back to his school until he is fully recovered. His medicine is nearly $100 for a refill after using insurance and the extra treatment is another two thousand. Add that with the class fees and it's just way too much to handle. Jalen, Jordan, I know you don't get along with Tracy but this isn't about her or any of us. This is about George and only him. Please just help us pay these off and we will be out of of your hair."
I can't even lie, Trevor was smooth and saying no to him will be so damn cruel. I chug down the rest of my wine and get up feom my seat. I look at Trevor square in the eye and basically say fuck it. "I'm gonna send the money through mail. Its gonna be in YOUR name and it is only for George."
I turn to look at Tracy and point at her. "If I find out that one cent of that money is spent on some bullshit that you like, I will bring George down here to stay with me and you wont get him back, no matter what you try to do, is that understood?"
Tracy furrowed her brows and looked at Trevor before answering. "Understood." She mumbled and glared at Trevor like it was all his fault. I nodded and leaned to shake Trevors hand before turning and patting Jordan's shoulder. "Come on, we done here."
Tahny
Its been almost two hours and Jalen still aint made it over here. I done took a nap, cooked (noodles), and watched a movie. "This voicemail box has not been set up yet-" I toss my phone on the couch and pace my room. "Think Tahny, where did he say he was going?" I ask myself. I cant remember shit! God I hope it wasn't dangerous. I try to put Jay at the back of my mind and go check on Olivia. She hooked up with this dude last night and right before they fucked he said he had a STD. Dumbass decided to get drunk and get all mad about the situation. Personally, I think that shit is fucking funny! Told her ass her hoe ways would fall back on her!
Anyway, I pour the tea I had brewed into a mug and took it to the guest room, that's basically Olivia room by now, she got her clothes and shoes in there and shit. I open the door and turn on the lamp by the bed, making Olivia groan and pull the cover over her face. I smack my lip and sat the mug down, yanking the cover off and huffing. "Lucky I didn't turn on the big light, now get up and drink this tea so you can take a shower."
"Let me sleep- ow ow ow ow ow." Olivia leaned up too fast and that hangover took over her body. And just like that she had the tea in her hand. "Thats what I thought." I rubbed her back before walking out and going back to my room. I check my phone and there aint a single text or missed call and now I'm getting irrtated. There has not been a good past with me and dudes and at this moment, I wonder if Jay out there cheating just like the rest of them were.
"Hey", I jump at the deep voice and drop my phone, it landing right on my baby toe. "Fuck motherfucker son of a bitch that shit hurt." I whine and sit on the carpeted floor, holding my toe. Finally, I look up at the person and see Jay laughing his ass off. "Oh its funny?" I ask and mean mug him. "You ugly as fuck." I say and focus back on my toe. Jalen kneel down and hold my chin, kissing me all soft making me forget why I'm mad.
After that, he pulled away and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes but leaned to peck his lips one more time. "I missed you." I admit while wrapping my arms around his neck, using him to pull myself off the floor. I move to adjusting myself and push him back so I can sit on his lap. Jay ran his fingers through my hair and kissed my forehead. "I missed you too, sorry about your foot." He said with a cheeky smile. Rolling my eyes, I pull him in for a kiss. It was one of them slow kisses. You know those type where you moving in sync and everything freezes? Those slow tongue strokes and that sexy as biting and shit? Yeah those type of slow kisses. When I pull back he starts to stand up, taking me with him. "Ma I got some for you." When we were up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and my mouth dropped as I laid eyes on the bed. I patted his arm so he would put me down and when he did I was gawking at the gifts for what felt like hours. The gold chain had the word GHETTO printed on it. I picked it up and looked at it closely. "Are these real diamonds?" He back hugged me with his chin on my shoulder. "Well I aint gonna let my girl walk around with fake shit on her neck." I smiled and moved to look at it more.
"I actually got some else for you, and I know you'll love it." I roll my eyes and wait. "Baby, your getting too much stuff." I aint gonna lie, I like being overwhelmed with things like these but at the same time I dont want him spending money on me, yall get me? Jalen wrapped his arms around me and in his hand was a big Chick-Fil-A bag. I squeeked and turned around, jumping on him and kissing all over his face. He laughed and nearly fell but I kept going. "Thank you so much! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you." Jalen sat me down on my feet and went to get one of the necklaces. "Move your hair ma." I did as told and he put the cold metal on my neck, making me flinch a bit. I look down to see the necklace on my neck. He pulls me toward him and hugs my waist before kissing my forehead, nose then lips. "You my queen, you know that baby?" I smile and nod.
"And you my king.."
