Love Or Toleration (Book 1)

Jas

Three years have passed me and Kym doing good. Jojo is now 6, Zari 10, and Monte 13. Kym is 20, I'm 21 and Mik is 22, Tatiana is 16, Dai is 15 and they are still together.

Mik is no longer in the picture. Word is she's dating that girl Alicia and has custody of her now 4 year old brother Tonio. Me and Kym? We're great. Bought a bigger house with three bedrooms and two baths. Monte has his own room, Zari and JoJo share. Kym is studying cosmetology and I cut hair and DJ at a gay club called Skittles. Life is good.

I'm at the barbershop chilling waiting to see if anyone will come in needing a quick haircut since I had my last client an hour ago. My phone rung so I answered.

"Hi is this the parent or guardian of De'Monte White?" I sighed into the phone. "This is his sister. I'm on my way." I hung up and slid my boy James, an older guy that cleans up to get paid, a 20 and asked him to clean up my station. I got in my car and headed to Monte school. I walked in to see Monte and another boy sitting on the bench. "What's going on?" I asked him. "I'm suspended for fighting." He said looking up. I asked the Secretary at the front desk did I need to talk to anyone. She told me Monte is suspended for a week and I talk to the principal when he comes back. I nodded. "Lets go." I said walking out the school. He followed behind me and got in the car. "Why were you fighting?" I asked while pulling out making my way home. "He always fuckin with me Jas. He called me a punk so I kissed his girlfriend and she didn't stop me." He giggled. "Monte what I tell you?" I asked him pulling in the driveway. "Fighting will not be tolerated in school." He sighed. "You'll be going to the shop with me tomorrow & you will work for free. And I'm telling Kym. I understand you were defending yourself but kissing his girl Monte? Really?" We were sitting in the car. There was silence. "Go in the house and do whatever homework you got. It's the beginning of the year and you already suspended." I shook my head. He went to his room. I went in the kitchen and started cooking. I know Kym will be tired when she get home and Zari and JoJo will be hungry. Got to feed my babies. Got to keep the family happy.
