Chapter 30Ashanti
We get finished with counting the money then put the money in the bag, he put the money in the vault then we get out of the restaurant, he lock it up the restaurant then we get in our cars to go home, I'm happy that the day is over. Tae is at my Mom's house until we get over there, I let Marquez go home while I go to Mommy's house to get him. I make it to Mommy's house as the lights are still on in the living room, and the master bedroom, I see twin's car here too, sat least Mommy have twin, and Rico to keep her company if she can't sleep. I get out of my car then I walk up the driveway to see someone open the front door, it's Rico, I haven't seen him or the others in a while. "What's up twins, what you been up to?" He hugs me then says "Working, and making Latrice feel good with her fine ass, what's up with you and Marquez? I heard some crazy stuff about him but we can talk about that another time sis" Damn, Rico knows too? What the fuck does he know about Marquez? If it's what I already know then he's late but if it's something I don't know then he might not want to tell me anything because it might piss me off, I went to sleep at Mommy's house because I really didn't want to get Tae out of the bed so I can get some rest. I dream about Marquez and I getting ready for our wedding with my hair all did up, makeup on, my wedding dress, and me feeling happy that this day came. Mommy, and Latrice were helping me get ready then there is a knock on the door, he isn't suppose to me this early but Mommy open the door, it's my brothers all in the doorway looking at me with smiles on their faces which I never seen them this happy of me since I graduated from High School. They hug me, and kiss me then leave out of the ladies dressing room, it felt so good to feel good like this because it's my wedding day, and nothing is going to mess up my wedding with the man I love, there is another knock on the door but what the hell is going on. with everyone knocking on the door, so I get up and open the door this time, I see a pregnant female looking at me with a sad face, I say "Who are you?" "I have to tell you something and. I don't want to ruin your day but I want to tell you this. I'm pregnant with Marquez's baby." When I thought nothing can fuck it up, my wedding day went from good to bad with a woman telling me that she is pregnant with his baby, I wake up from my bad dream, damn my dream is bad but why do I keep having these crazy ass dreams about something bad is going to happen? I need something to keep my mind off of things.
I wake up with the sun glaring through the blinds, I open up the blinds to see Mommy's car isn't here but I see all of my brother's cars in the driveway, now the hell is going on? They don't never over here unless I'm over here, I go downstairs to see what are my brothers doing, I see Rico, and Quan ass chilling in the living room talking about the girls they would smash in the video. "Is that all y'all think about is smashing females?" They turn around and smile at me, and shaking their head, Quan says "Nah, we were thinking about why the hell is you here if you have a house with Marquez?" Oh he gotta clapback question, okay I'm going to bust his ass, I respond "I was crashing here because I was tired, why are you here? Aren't suppose to be at work?" "Nah we're all off today and we wanted to see Mama today but she's not here, so we are watching the house. Marquez took Tae to school today so you won't have to worry about that." Damnit, he took him to school now I have to stay here with these buttheads until Mommy get home. I see Jimmy in the kitchen making pancakes for everyone, I hug him and saying "Hey bro, what you doing here this morning? You usually be gone." "It's my off day, I switch my schedule with someone so I'm off on Fridays. I'll make you some pancakes just go and sit down sis." I shake my head, and walk away from him to sit in the living room with Quan, and twin watching what they are watching in TV, Moments later, Jimmy comes to give my brothers, and I pancakes this morning, he don't make the regular pancakes with the original ingredients, he make them big, with sugar, cinnamon, caramel, and sliced apples. He cut the apples to get the seeds out then he put the apples in the blender to make sure they are cut all the way down then he put the apple right with the ingredients, then he make the pancakes on the stove, and they taste so damn good when he make his signature apple pancakes. He works in a warehouse but he can really cook his ass off, he goes back in the kitchen to get his plate, and sits with us in the living room. "I love how you make pancakes hermano, you should really sell these pancakes to people." My brother agree with me because his pancakes are really good, after I ate my breakfast this morning, I put my plate in the sink, and her my keys off the counter because I wanted to go home and freshen up for a little bit, I told them "I'll be back you guys, I have to go to the house to freshen up. I'll be back." I walk to my car and get in, I back in the driveway and drive off.
I'm at a redlight then my phone rings, I pick up my phone "Hello?" "Hey girl, what you doing?" "I'm going home Trice, what's up girlie?" Something in my head is saying that she might be in some trouble by the way she's talking all nervous and everything. "Girl, I'm not stripping anymore, I'm working at Wal Mart now, a friend of mine told me to do a application for Wal Mart and girl, I'm out the stripping scene and becoming a regular ass person girl." Latrice had me scared for a little bit but I'm happy that she has a new job. "We are celebrating tonight girl, at Mommy's house girl, so I'll tell the guys and we will have a party of your new job girl." We hang up, and I continue to drive home.
I text my brothers, Mommy, and Latrice that we are having a party at my house for a celebration tonight. I take a nap for a few hours until it's time to pick up Tae from his school, Marquez text me saying that he already picked Tae up from school. I text him saying that I am going to the store to get food, and everything we need for the celebration. I get up out of my bed to put my shoes on, and grab my keys off the counter, and walk to my car. I get in my car to put my key in the ignition when I suddenly sees Marquez driving up the driveway, I get out the car, Tae opens the door then run to me,and hug me. "Hey baby, how was school today?" "It was good mommy, where are you going?" "Well boo bear, I have to go to the store for some things. We are having a party for Aunt Latrice." Tae jumps up, and down all excited, he wanted to stay home while I get everything for the party. "Be careful babe." I kiss Marquez then wink at him, he slaps my butt with a little moan come out of my mouth, I get in my car, close the door, back out of the driveway then drive to the store.
I get to the store finding a parking space in the front of the store, I turn the car off, and exit out of my car. I grab a cart which is in front of my parking space, so I walk in with the cart to find the things that I would get for the party; I am happy for my girl to be out of stripping and find a better job than shaking her ass on the dance floor because she is too damn smart for being a stripper, don't get me wrong, there are some smart ass strippers making money in the club, and outside but Latrice wants to do something else than being on the pole. I get sodas, juice, vegetable tray, fruit tray, cheese tray, sandwich tray, chips, nacho cheese dip, cups, plates, hot dogs, and buns. I walk to the self check out line so I can get out faster, I check my items out then pay for them, I walk out of the store to my car; someone was looking at me while their girl was looking straight ahead, he better keep his eyes on his girl. I put everything in the m of my car, put the cart where it goes, and get in my car, I get a text message from Mommy saying "We are on our way to the house, your hermaños are getting stubborn with the food. They bought burgers." Damn, when were my brothers going to tell me that they bought food for the party, they get on my nerves sometimes but I still love them.
I get home the same time my brothers, and Mommy got there, perfect timing with us all here at the same time. I get out of my car to get the bags out of my trunk, twin, and Jimmy walk to my car while Quan have the bags of burgers, and buns in his hand. "What did you get sis?" "Sodas, plates, juice, cups, food trays, hot dogs, and buns. Y'all will be full for a few days." Jimmy, and twin laugh at me, Quan comes back to the car to help out get the bags. We all get the bags out of my trunk, Latrice pulls up at the sidewalk smiling at me; shoot I hope she helping us cook some of this stuff so we can eat because I'm starting to get hungry. Babe opens the door for us with the bags in our hands, oh yeah, we are going to have some fun today with all of this food, and none of it is going to go to waste because everyone is taking some of this with them when they go home. We cook the burgers, and the hot dogs in the oven, I'm so starving right now but I can wait for the food to be done, I know my brothers is drinking up all of the damn sodas, I go in the kitchen to see that the sodas wasn't gone, we still had five bottles left out of the six so I pour half soda, and half juice in my cup. Forty minutes later, the food is done, mmmmmmm I need something to eat right now to feed this baby, everyone making their plates as I wait to get my plate, babe made my plate for me, awww so sweet of him to make my plate first before he made his. I eat my food and drink my drink, two hours later we heard a knock on the door, who can it be?
