Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Carter 57

When Valentino left, the person I became closest to was Fat Daddy; y'all may not see it but me and Fat Daddy talked about everything and I do mean everything like... we just clicked he helped me realize how important being a father was and walked me through the hard parts. So for that nigga to be smiling up in my face KNOWING that he was fuckin my little brother... that's some fake shyt to me; that nigga could've pulled me to the side and told me the truth... yeah I would've been a little pissed because I don't want my boys messing around with my brother but in the end, I would've approved. It's the fact that he felt the need to keep it a secret that was bothering me the most; I get that he's DL and probably doesn't want everyone in his business but like I said we tell each other everything and I could've helped him navigate these feeling that I know he's probably experiencing. I'm sorry but I have severe trust issues stemming from that shyt with Uncle Caeser that left me fucked up, I can count on one hand how many people I can honestly say I fully trust; Ronnie, Xion, Valentino, Romeraux, Fat Daddy, and Bianca... okay that's two hands but y'all know what I mean, now two of those people betrayed me and I.... I was having a hard time processing it.

"HEY FAT MAMAS!!!" Brian said taking Corrina's car seat from me, he had her out and was kissing her cheek before I could even close the door. "Look at G-Paws baby.... Oh... oh damn, I see your dad didn't change you." Brian said passing her off to Bianca, who looked like she was about to kill me.

"Ayy she must've just done that, she was good when we left the dining hall." I said taking my jacket off. "But I'll change her in a second, just let me warm...." Bianca was already taking Corrina upstairs, I sat down on the couch and Brian looked at me. "What now?" I asked exasperated because I wasn't trying to hear one of his lectures at the moment.

"Who was it this time? I swear you wear your emotions all over your face and the fact that you've been clenching your fist to the point that your hands are bleeding is also a dead give away." Brian said and I didn't even notice the little drops of blood on my hand.

"Hold up this Tino..." I said picking up because I know someone (Jace) probably told him everything that happened.

"Carter..." He said quietly and I rolled my eyes because I knew he was about to defend this nigga. "You're my bro, so I know what you must be feeling some type of way right now." Valentino said.

"That nigga is a snake bro... like forreal you're fuckin my little brother? Then he got the audacity to smile up in my face knowing that shyt... I swear to god I'm going to beat his ass." I said getting even more pissed the more I thought about it.

"Carter, don't do that.... put your feelings to the side and look at the bigger picture... Fat Daddy is coo as fuck, he's always had your back and he's been loyal as fuck. Plus I'm sure Romeraux is the first nigga he's been with so he might be trying to figure out what he's feeling... I say talk to him and get his side of the story and not go based off of what O'Shea... the same O'Shea that's been hating on you since you got to Brittany Hills... Talk to that nigga, I'll try to come through in a couple of weeks so we can chill." Valentino said calmly and I swear I hated when he did that shyt because now I was starting to relax a little.

"I can't stand your punk ass.... but I love you bro." I said quietly.

"I love you too bro, try not to do anything stupid.... at least until I get there aight?" Valentino asked and I promised but he knew me better than that, I was already on edge and if one person said some slick shyt to me I was beating their ass.

"So your boy Eric is messing with your bro.... what's the issue?" Brian asked and I looked at him like he was crazy. "Ayy you're in my house, no conversation is off-limits, if I wanna ear hustle that's what I'm going to do, you are like my son after all.. It's my job to make sure you're good and check you when you're wrong."
