At some point during all the yelling I tuned Shawnee out, like there was literally no reason for her to be yelling but she just couldn't help herself; she asked for more child support (done), she wanted some money to get Enrico some clothes (no problem), she needed even more money for bills (whatever she needed), but she was never happy. Sometimes I wonder if she just enjoyed yelling and belittling me, under normal circumstances, I would've gone off on her, but given the way, things were going not even my crazy baby mom steal my joy. I was making legal money, I had my health, my son was thriving and my dude..... what can I say about Marcelino that I haven't already said, I fuckin loved that dude and just thinking about him made me smile. I guess Shawnee took my smile as me laughing at her because she walked over to me and started yelling in my face, poking me in the forehead, and calling me all sorts of punk ass (fill in the blank).... I wonder what Marcelino was doing because last night we didn't get to finish our conversation and...... SMAAACCCKKK...... Shawnee slapped me so hard that it echoed throughout Supreme's house before I could react Supreme swooped in and pulled me away because he saw what my immediate reaction was about to be.
"Ayy Shawnee you gotta go... I told your ass about that shyt." Supreme said and I threw my hands up and walked off leaving him to deal with his cousin because if I stayed in the same room as her the likelihood of me choking her was 100%. I walked into the kitchen and sat down on one of the barstools trying to control my anger but that woman was seriously testing my patience. "My bad about her... she was always a handful even when we were kids." Supreme said sitting across from me.
"Man to man.... your cousin was about to get knocked the fuck out." I said looking into his eyes. "Like forreal bruh, I've done everything she's asked of me and more, yet she still goes outta her way to make my life miserable. It's like she sees that I'm happy and she wants to make it her life's mission to ruin everything that I got going on."
"I feel you Piru, but that's still my cousin and if you would've hit her then we would've had to fight and that would be a whole mess in and of itself. You know what you need.... a weekend away, call up Trell and them and we can take a little road trip; we can drive down to Portland and just party all weekend, have a nice little getaway." Supreme said and I'm not going to lie the offer sounded tempting.
"You know they'll want to invite Ja'Koda.... are you sure it'll be a peaceful weekend since y'all are both in love with the same nigga?" I asked because I knew Ja'Koda had a smart ass mouth, and Supreme had a short ass temper when it came to niggas who owed him money so that to me sound like a recipe for disaster.
"I'll be coo as long as he is... and as long as he pays me my money we won't have any issues. Look Piru, you've been working your ass off, taking care of your son, and keeping Marcelino happy you deserve at least one weekend to yourself." Supreme said pushing a little harder.
"What if I don't wanna party? What if I wanna lay up with my dude all weekend reading books and watching movies? What's wrong with not wanting to drive three hours because I know that I'm just going to be miserable without my dude?" I asked.
"Y'all niggas are with each other all the time and when y'all aren't together y'all are texting.... just like you're doing right now." Supreme said as I pulled out my phone to check the message Marcelino had just sent me. "Aight time for full disclosure.... the reason I wanna get away so bad is because of Mauricio." Supreme said quietly.
"Damn I thought y'all were good?" I asked confused because when I was with Marcelino and Mauricio last night Mauricio seemed like he was in a good place.
"Nah not like that it's just.... that dude does something to me, he takes me out of my element and I need a few days away to sort through all these feelings. I'm telling you Piru, the kid is smart as fuck, he has so much good in him that's covered by so much pain.... I need to approach him differently than dudes in my past and a weekend away would help clear my head as to how to deal with him in the correct way because the last thing I wanna do is push him away." Supreme said and I nodded.
