"... maybe we can start again, and make it what it used to be... or maybe I'm just being foolish... to love you for always.... "
SONG: GENTLY BY READY FOR THE WORLD
I am worth it. I am not stupid, but strong, I tell myself as I grip my Birkin bag with one hand, and Tae grips my other hand, and we walk into the house.
As soon as me and Delontae get to the staircase, Tarvin walks up to him.
"Green light," he tells Delontae and slaps his hand. Delontae nods..
"Green light on what?" I ask him when Tarvin keeps on walking and goes around the corner, into the kitchen.
"Vaughn is out," Tae lets me know. I nod...
Vaughn. I think about him, and everything that's happening right now, as me and Tae walk up the stairs..
"I need to talk to Tay Tay," Delontae tells me when he notices how quiet I am. I nod again, preoccupied with my thoughts.
"Yeah you do, but that can wait. We gotta go," I look up and say.
"Go where?" Delontae asks me.
"You said Vaughn is out right?"
"Yeah," he nods.
"Okay well let's go then," I tell him.
"Go where Isha?" he looks at me and asks again.
"To his house, to welcome him home," I say, and check my face in the mirror right quick when we get in our bedroom.
"Why we gotta do all dat? Me and him can talk later. I gotta lotta other shit to handle," Tae tells me and squirms around when he sees me checking this bruise on my face. I start going in my purse for my cosmetic bag. I need a lil bit more concealer. Tae watches me with a fucked up expression on his face.
"Nigga. Whatchu are fenna do? Is take me to Vaughn's house, right now, to check on Vonsha. And you gone keep that nigga from killin' my friend. That's whatchu fenna do," I calmly tell this nigga, patting my face with concealer.
"You know I tried to help that bitch out! With Kinte dead I gives a FUCK what happens to that hoe-"
"You gives a fuck what happens to yo marriage tho!" I turn on his ass with a snarl. And he backs up some and breathes out.
"I do. Aisha, let me make all this shit up to you," he begs.
"Okay. You gone find out where that nigga's head is at, and you gone tell him that he can't kill Vonsha or fuck her up, none of that shit! That's whatchu gone do for a start," I let him know.
"And you gone get cho fuckin' head back in the game Delontae! If he's out -- why didn't he call you first?" I ask this nigga.. he just watches me, and drops his eyes from my face.
