Claimed Mine (Mine, #3)

Chapter 12:

Kaine

"Get up dumbass." I wake up to cold water being thrown on me.

"What. The. FUCK?" I yell. I wipe my face looking to see my mom standing in front of me wearing the same pissed off look I had on my face.

"Watch your fuckin mouth!" She snapped. "Get your funky beer smelling ass in the shower and meet me downstairs."

I groaned as she walked away. "I need to remember to take her fuckin key away."

"What was that Kaine!?" She yelled back.

"Nothing." I grumbled before heading into the shower.

"Now what can I help you with ma'am?" I ask being sarcastic sitting at the island watching her take bacon from the pan. "Is that for me?"

"Hell no. You don't deserve my cooking you get no fuckin breakfast after that shit you pulled with my baby Shelly. I've been wondering why ya ass been ignoring me the past two weeks and nobody else would say anything when I asked them what was going on."

"Look mom, don't start-"

"No you don't fuckin start. You know damn well you was in the wrong and ya stubborn ass probably didn't even call her the past two weeks either."

"She didn't fuckin call me." I snap.

"Cuss again Kaine." She said placing her hands in front of me mean muggin me.

I sighed. "Look I tried calling her a couple times and it continued to go to voicemail so fuc-, I mean forget her."

"Fuck her? Really Kaine?" She said slapping me upside my head, "I hope she forgets your ass and finds another man, one that ain't such a fuckin asshole that always gotta make shit hard."

"Nichelle ain't fuckin crazy." I said watching her grab her bag.

"And neither are you, but you stay actin like you are."

I walked into the tattoo shop not saying anything to anybody. I wasn't in the mood for anybody or anything. I walked behind the front desk where Karma, Nel, and Kjayy sat checking the appointment book seeing I had had three big pieces to do today, which would take all day. I could use the distraction.

"Dumbass." I heard Karma mumble.

"Fuck are you here for? Don't you got a baby and a boyfriend at home. Get the fuck out my shop."

"This is my older brother's shop."

"I'm ya older brother too dumbass. And this is half my shop too."

"Aye chill out." Kjayy said before we could start our usual back and forth.

"If y'all would just stay the fuck out of my relationship we would not be having these fuckin problems between us as siblings. Maybe I shouldn't have introduced y'all nosy asses to Shelly." I snapped walking away.

I set up for my appointment. A knock came at the door before it was opened. "What?" I ask turning around to see Nel walking in.

"I'm not here to cuss you out or put my input into your relationship. I just wanted to say you should get in touch with her because she hasn't been to work in a week and whenever I call her, her phone goes to voicemail." She said.

I nodded. "I already tried before I came here and it's still going to voicemail. I'll let you know Nel."

She nodded walking out.

"Nigga quit sitting on your fuckin ass and go see her already." Kjayy said leaning against the door looking at me as I stared off into space locking and unlocking my phone.
