If I Ain't Got You

Chapter 33

When CJ left Keyon's house, he went to see Amiyah.

"Hey, Kaden is here remember?", Amiyah asked.

"Oh shit", CJ said as he touched his head. "My bad"

"What happened to your face?", Amiyah asked.

"Oh yea. I got into something. I'm good though", CJ said.

Amiyah made a face. She could smell alcohol.

"I'll come by another time", he said

"Have you been drinking?", Amiyah asked.

"Yea, but I can still drink though", CJ said. "Hell I made it here"

"Just come in", she said. "I don't want you driving if you're a little tipsy or even worst, drunk"

"What about ole boy not wanting me around jaden", CJ said.

"Kaden", Amiyah corrected him.

"Shit, my bad. I'm a little drunk", CJ said.

"Exactly so come in here until you're sober. Kaden is taking a nap anyway", Amiyah said.

CJ walked in the house and sat on the couch.

Amiyah shut the door.

"You know, that's a bad habit that you need to break", Amiyah said.

"Why? So you can fix me into this guy that you want and get bored and bounce?", he asked.

Amiyah made a face.

"I don't always drink a lot but I'm also not going to stop drinking", CJ said. "That's dead...you drink right?"

"Sometimes" , Amiyah said.

"Alright then", CJ said.

"Yea but it's like you drink alcohol like it's juice or something", Amiyah said.

"Amiyah please don't start this alright?", CJ asked.

Amiyah sighed.

"I don't drink like that all the time", CJ said.

"Okay", Amiyah said.

CJ put he head back and closed his eyes.

"I found a few jobs for you", Amiyah said.

"That was quick", CJ said as he opened his eyes.

"Well, you asked me to help you out", Amiyah said as she sat down. "So I did"

"Where at?", CJ said.

"A couple of restaurants". Amiyah said.

"Restaurants?", CJ asked. "I don't know about that bae"

"It's a start", Amiyah said.

"Yea and they still have to hire me and who says they even will", CJ said.

"Maybe you shouldn't think like that", Amiyah said.

"My record is fucked up, Miyah", CJ said.

"Okay, but these people hire ex convicts", Amiyah said.

"Alright, ma. I ain't gone argue with you. I'll just do an application and get a interview and see where it goes from there", CJ said. "Can I take a nap?"

"...okay", Amiyah said.

CJ took his shoes off and his shirt and laid on the couch with his head on her lap and closed his eyes.

Amiyah felt on his chest.

To have a body like this, it doesnt even seem like he drinks, Amiyah thought to herself.
