As I was getting the bags I saw tyke and his daughter getting out of his truck, and now he was standing in front of Ms. Neicy's house talking to Lil Sam.
He seemed to be spending a lot more time with his daughter all of a sudden.
He ain't no better when it comes to spending time with his kids than Sam.
This nigga must be trying real hard to get him some from Lauren, if he hasn't already, to show his face around here today of all days knowing I was going to be here.
My childhood friend tryna fuck with my daughter momma, This nigga been knowing how I felt about Lauren ever since we was teenagers. I got her, I got a baby out of her, I got loyalty from her and this nigga tryna take that from me. He can have India I don't give a fuck.
"Man how tall is you now?" I heard him ask Lil Sam as I walked up on them standing in front Ms. Neicy house.
"Bout six feet." He answered.
"You still got a little ways to go before you catch me but you getting there. You play basketball?" Tyke told him.
"Yea,"
"You seen my auntie boog?" Lil Sam asked.
"I'd like to know that too cause she seems to have gon missing:" I said interrupting their conversation. "Lil Sam take these to Ms. Neicy." I handed him the bags.
"Aight" he said taking the bags from me.
"What's up man?" Tyke reached out his hand to me.
I ignored his salute and waited until my nephew was out of ear shot before I spoke.
"I see we traveling in some of the same circles these days." I shot at him.
"It be like that sometimes when you know some of the same people I guess." He said arrogantly. "You know south central ain't but so big."
"Is that what it is?" I smirked.
"I think so—
"Uncle nip?" Lil Sam called.
"Hold on Sam—
"No Lauren, and India ready to fight." He said pointing to the back yard looking confused.
"They bout to do what?" I asked thinking I had misunderstood what he said, but after hearing the high pitched ruckus coming from the back yard Lil Sam didn't have to repeat it.
I walked my way to the side of the house in route to the backyard when I heard Lauren say "bitch I don't give a fuck how you meant it, that's my mothafucking daughter if you don't like something that she does or say tell her fucking daddy and he can solve it but don't ever think about putting your hands on my child or ima make sure your fucking head get knocked off!" Then I saw Ms. Neicy standing between Lauren and India with her finger pointed at Lauren trying to keep them separated.
"Girl shut the fuck up. Shut the hell up." India talked over Lauren, waving her off.
"Bitch I'll beat yo ass." Lauren said walking towards her.
"Oh yea! Oh yea!" Lil Sam clapped.
"What the hell is you doing?" I raced over and stood in between her and Ms. Neicy to help diffuse the situation.
"Nip get the hell out of my face!" Lauren protested as she tried to walk around me.
"Why don't you calm yo ass down?" I stepped in front of Lauren and blocked her path.
"For real Cuh, chill out."
"Come on Um girl whatever yo name is, it's the baby day y'all don't be doing this." Lauren cousin spoke up trying to grab India but she act like she wanted her ass beat the way she was just standing there.
Now that I think about it, India don't come off as the type that know how to fight, maybe she do, I just can't see it.
Tyke came and grabbed Lauren by the hand trying to pull her away like he was her man or something and I started to feel some type of way.
"Nigga don't touch her, you ain't got nun to do with this so go back over there." He looked around.
"Man handle yo girl, I'll handle mines." Everybody looked in his direction.
"Your girl?"
"Lord, Jesus! Y'all kids go back over there and play." Ms. Neicy said as she shooed them away.
"Let's go nip." India said pulling on my arm but I snatched it away.
"Yes bitch, please leave." Lauren said rolling her neck and folding her arms across her chest.
India stood right there waiting for me.
"I'm not leaving, it's my daughter birthday and y'all fighting over petty shit."
"Nah India, you started it. You shouldn't have said what you said now you gone get yo—" lil Sam started before jade yanked him by his shirt.
"Nip you let that bitch talk to me like that?" India said as I opened the juice box and put the ice in the cooler for the kids.
"Don't entertain it India, just stay away—
I didn't even get to finish my sentence before I heard a loud ass pop.
"Lauren stop!" Ms. Neicy yelled trying to pull her off but it wasn't happening.
"Nah don't stop! Yea Lauren!" Lil Sam laughed as she dragged the damn girl all over the place.
"Whoop that trick. Whoop that trick." He continued to instigate.
I went to grab Lauren but she was not letting India hair go so I had to pick her up but India head came with her.
"Let it go Lauren, you got it." Neicy pulled Lauren hands off her hair while I walked to the other side of the yard.
"Get off me!" She said pushing me.
"Fuck both of y'all." She stuck her middle fingers up.
"Y'all can kiss my ass." She said walking into the house.
I ain't even have no words. That shit was embarrassing to me, to watch her get beat up like that.
"This shit is a fucking disaster." Ms. Neicy mumbled walking in the house letting the door slam.
"Nip you didn't protect me, you let her get to me. How could you?" I scrunched my face up.
"Huh? I was filling the—
"No! I don't want to hear that! You watched her do that to me and you proceeded to stand there!" I was so fucking confused it pissed me off.
"You called her a bitch and told her shut the fuck up, I'm lucky she didn't beat my ass." She rolled her eyes and walked off.
"Come on baby." Lauren aunt grabbed India and walked her to the front of the house.
Chilleeeeee.... India talked all that mess and got beat up 🥱
