KENNEDY
"I feel like Jeremiah" shaking my arms I tried to shake off the feeling of bugs being on me
Kevin left me at his house for an hour to go to my crib and get my pain meds, I woke up in excruciating pain in the middle of the night.
"The only thing on you is my hands so chill" he mutters into my ear from behind. "you need to use the bathroom?"
"No"
"Hungry?"
"No"
"Alright so when I turn on the game don't start nagging me" reaching for his controller he turned it on
"I want—"
"Kennedy" he sighs
"—a kiss. And something to drink"
"Khaza, bring me one of the sodas and water from the kitchen!" grabbing my chin he turns it to the side and connected our lips. "I love you"
"I do too" nodding I laid my head on his chest
"So you don't have any feelings for me?" Kevin chuckles putting his headset on, leaving one ear out
"I do, the question is do I love you. To answer that, I don't know probably"
"When you figure it out let me know"
Khaza came in with the drinks, putting them in front of me on the coffee table he left going back to wherever he was before.
"You think Kiah miss me yet?" I asked reaching for the soda can, Kevin did the same and opened it. "I want that!"
"Chill I was just getting it for you" holding it to my mouth he watched me take a sip. "he does miss you, when I went to Game's house the day before last Hezekiah was over there asking about you"
"Hmph"
We sat in comfortable silence for the remainder of the time he played his dumbass game.
My head bobbed every once and a while as I drifted to sleep. Kevin sits his controller down taking off his headset. Standing he picked me up with him and carried me to his bed, laying me down he took off my pants.
"Give me a minute to get Khaza to bed and turn the game off, I'll be back" placing a kiss on my lips he left out the room.
Drifting back to sleep laying in an awkward position until Kevin came back, he adjusted my body against his then threw covers over our bodies.
"You good?" he asks running his fingertips over my hip
"Yeah, thank you"

Two weeks later I'm slowly recovering from my car accident, both Shoota and I believe it's Mariah's boyfriend who's behind it but we aren't sure.
Counting my money I looked up briefly to see Lucky coming into my office.
"If I remember correctly I said if you came here I bust a cap in yo ass" sitting the money aside I reached for my gun. "niggas never follow rules, even when it's simple as fuck"
"Man chill, I came to squash the beef between us. Kennedy, it's getting too out of hand and I realize it's taking a toll on Hezekiah" sitting in a chair in front of my desk, he runs a hand down his face. "I apologize for assuming you were trying to kill my sister, I knew it wasn't you but in the heat of the moment, everything leads back to you. I also want to apologize for going behind your back and putting cocaine back on the streets, it was foul"
He can keep his apologies, his words don't mean shit to me
Rolling my eyes I went to counting then putting it into three different piles.
"Shoota!" I shout ignoring Lucky completely, he came in shortly after. "Hmm, can you go check on Jeremiah for me? I got a few things to do before I go home"
"Yeah, y'all made up," Shoota asks pointing to Lucky while taking the money I held out. Counting it briefly he folds it putting it in his pocket.
"Nah, I don't know why he's still sitting here in my face"
"Kennedy stop that shit, what's it going to take you to put this behind us?" smacking his lips Lucky stood up towering over me
"Bro back up" Shoota turns his lip up at Lucky pushing him back. "don't do that shit"
"There's no beef, I'm just not fucking with you. If it doesn't have to do with my nephew don't contact me alright? I'll unblock you later, now get out"
Standing up I took both piles of money and placed them in my safe before locking it.
"I told mama this shit wasn't gon work" Lucky groans leaving, Shoota followed behind him shaking his head chuckling.
"You're stupid if you thought Ken was just gon roll over and welcome you back into her life, Jeremiah relapsed because of that lil shit you pulled and you had her about to lose her shit when you took Hezekiah from her. She'll come around eventually" I heard Shoota say
"I doubt it, Kennedy stubborn as hell"
"I'm glad he knows" I mumble getting my belongings and leaving
About three hours later I'm walking into my house to see shoes in the hallway and voices shouting coming from the living room.
Looking back into the yard the only car out there is mines so who the fuck is caking it up with Jeremiah?
"Jer who the hell you got up in my house?" I shout untying my shoes then kicking them off at the door. "Jeremiah!"
"It's me, Kenny!" arms wrapped around my legs as he hanged into me. "me and Dad are playing a football game, come see"
"Kiah" picking him up I gave him a tight hug before getting a good look at him. Frowning I looked him up and down. "you lost weight, kiddo did you eat today?"
"I'm not hungry" smiling he wiggles out of my arms gesturing for me to follow him into the living room. "come on Kenny"
"I'm coming"
Taking out my phone I called Kevin while sitting on the couch watching Hezekiah and Jeremiah play 2K.
"Yeah, baby?" Kevin questions when the line connects
"You can't say hi? Acting like I annoy you or something"
"It's not like that, I'm just tired. Wassup though"
"I wanted to see you but never mi—"
"Give me twenty minutes, alright? Ima come"
"Alright" smiling to myself I got up going into the kitchen. " did you cook or ate anything?"
"I ate at Dreka's house earlier"
"Why didn't you bring me nothing to eat? And why baby momma never cooks for me"
Laughing Kevin moves around before coming back to the phone.
"You gotta ask her that yourself, did you take your meds? How was your day?"
"Yeah, I took the" I mutter taking the pill bottles out of the cabinet and taking three of them. "My day was alright, Lucky stopped by the trap talking bout he wants to squash the beef he created and shit. I just got home and guess who I see?"
"Lil man?"
"Yeah, him and Jeremiah in the living room playing 2k. Kiah is so skinny, my baby lost so much weight"
"Get him to drink those ensure drinks if he doesn't want to eat, Khaza was like that a while back"
"Okay"
"I'm getting in the car, I'll be there soon"
"Hurry up" hanging up I opened the refrigerator looking for something to cook.
