Chapter 11 #3
“Yeah, I know it’s definitely flooding somewhere,” Jahrein assumed.
Stuck in the house due to the rain, me and Jahrein were snuggled up on the sectional in our family room. The kids were running around doing whatever, and I didn’t care, as long as they weren’t bothering us.
Lowkey, rainy days were my favorite. Especially whenever Jahrein was there with me. Sometimes our lives could become hectic, but the rain would force us to slow down and take a breather.
Naturally, Jah’s cells were ringing off the hook, but he never liked to make moves when the weather was bad, claiming that bad weather conditions was the jack-boys window of opportunity to catch hustlers slipping. So, I had him fully to myself that evening, which was a rarity.
“Bae, what do you want me to cook tonight?” I absently questioned, while he was randomly rubbing my stomach.
“Whatever you cook,” he responded lazily, obviously high after smoking a few blunts.
I cut my eyes at him. “Okay, but tell me why you keep rubbing my stomach?”
“Cause. I think this one is another girl.” He smiled, forcing me to roll my eyes.
“I aint pregnant.”
He licked his lips. “Let you tell it. But come on, let’s go upstairs, right quick.”
“Nigga, hell no. You done fucked my pussy off my body. I aint got none left.”
“Shiiit,” he drawled, as he palmed my cat. “That fat muthafucka is right here, calling my name.”
“Umm…” I pondered on it. “How ‘bout I just suck your dick?”
“Nah. I want some pussy.”
I sucked my teeth. “You are too freaked out for me.”
“That’s your fault.” He was right back to rubbing my stomach. “Ya booty shouldn’t be so soft and that pussy shouldn’t be that tight. My dick just be finding his way home. Then you be rolling that cat when I’m fucking you…the fuck you want me to do? Huh?”
As he talked, I could feel his hard dick poking my thigh. Admittedly, I was fully aroused, but I honestly just didn’t feel like traveling upstairs. Still, teasingly I gripped his hard-on through his shorts.
“Umm,” he growled against my mouth, as we kissed.
Slickly, he eased a hand up my nightie and into my panties. Taking our kiss deeper, he flicked a finger over my clit.
“Jah,” I gasped, as my pussy loudly smacked. “Stooop,” I whimpered.
He finally broke the kiss. “Pull the cover up,” he instructed.
Reaching down, I pulled the cover over both of our bodies. He immediately lifted my nightie before pulling his dick out of his shorts. Lifting my leg, he pushed inside of me
Knowing that we were in an open space, there was the looming threat of the kids walking in on us. So, I gripped my blanket, tucking it under my chin, as Jahrein slammed into me, while his balls loudly clapped my ass.
Kissing my neck, he was pumping in and out of me, while I faced the entryway.
“Damn, this pussy so juicy,” he mumbled while fondling my titty.
“Ummm,” I maoned. “I wanna taste that nut. Let me swallow it, daddy,” I practically begged.
“Nah, you aint slick. I’m nutting in this pussy. Besides…its too late,” he groaned, as his body shuddered.
As if on cue, there was a loud thunder of lightning right after.
“Uh,” I jumped a tad. “We probably should’ve turned off all the lights around here.”
Jah chuckled. “Now you sounding like my granny with that shit. She be the main one making everybody sit in the dark with all the TVs off, every time its raining.”
“I know,” I laughed, while his dick was still inside of me. “Mr. John be pissed off too,” I mentioned her live-in boyfriend.”
“Hell, yeah.” Jah co-signed. “That nigga always be fussing, talking about the TVs gotta go off, but she still be on the phone, running her mouth. Whispering and gossiping.”
“Yesss. She loves to gossip.” I agreed. “With her exaggerating ass. Talking about how she used to be the baddest on the south side, knocking on the hoes on their asses.”
“Shit, she wasn’t exaggerating. My granny a OG.” He chuckled.
I smacked my lips. “Yeah, right. Granny ain’t ‘bout it.”
“Shiit,” he stressed. “Keep thinking that.”
“Yeah, right.” I grabbed my phone. “I’m finna call her and see.”
“Call her,” he urged, as he finally pulled his dick out of me, before tucking it back into his shorts.
“Okay.” I nodded, before sending out a call, after dialing *67 first.
After the phone was ringing, I placed the call on speaker.
“Uh, hello?”
Thinking on my feet, I pinched my nose, before speaking. “Hey, is this Earline?”
“Yeah, this is she,” Jah’s granny responded.
“You got a grandson named Jahrein, right?”
“Of course.”
“Okay, well, I’m just calling to tell you that you better tell your bitch ass grandson something. Cause he got me fucked up, and I don’t mind coming over there to slap him and you.”
I muted the phone, as Jahrein roared with laughter. I was also giggling uncontrollably.
“What a minute, now, lil’ bitch! You’on know me like that. I aint ya mammy. You don’t call my phone with that bullshit, cause I aint the one. Now, don’t make me call down to the phone company and get ya phone turned off.”
I unmuted the phone. “Pssh. Lady, you must got Alzheimer’s. You can’t turn this phone off. Now, watch your mouth, before I come over there and straighten that crooked wig out for you.”
Jahrein’s shoulers trembled as he laughed quietly.
“You aint straitening out a damn thang for me, with ya nappy headed, wide back, slew footed ass. Ion play with kids and fucking with me, ya mama gone lose them welfare benefits y’all collecting over there. You lil’ wanch.”
“Alright, keep talking and I’ma have Mr. John paying the rent over here—”
“Baby, now I know you talking out the side of your neck. I collects John’s whole check and gives him pocket change to keep. So, unless ya rent is 50 or 60 dollars, then John aint got it. Aint no pussy buying on my watch.”
I pursed my lips. “Then I’ll just have him pack his bags, and then I’ll start collecting those checks.”
“And they’d have to peel me off your ass,” granny scoffed. “Just like the last bitch I had to cut. You slanging out Jahrein’s name, but he should’ve told you that aint them other grannies. I’ll call around and get you evicted from that rat infested house you live in.”
I could hardly contain my laughter. “And I'ma call Medicaid and tell that you be selling your pain pills.”
“Now, hold up, bitch! You gon make me fuck around and come find you—”
Not being able to hold the laughter, I ended the call.
Right after, Jah’s cell was ringing. Smiling, he answered on speaker.
“What’s up, granny?”
“Jahrein, why the hell did some gal just call me, talking crazy?”
“Who?” he played it off.
“I don’t know. They blocked the number, but whoever it is, they got me fucked up. Talking about calling Medicaid. The crusty panties having bitch got the right one.”
I silently snickered.
“I bet not find out who it is, cause I’ma get Raven to knock that wanch on her ass.”
Jah sucked his teeth. “What is Raven gonna do?”
“Pop that hoe in the nose, just how she be doing you.”
That’s when I slid off the couch with laughter
“Man, let me call you back, granny,” Jah mumbled, before ending the call.
Right after, he joined me in laughter. “She aint shit for that.”
“Nah, that’s my girl.”
“Fuck all that.” He lifted his phone. “Now, let’s call Red. Let’s play with her ass too.”
Sitting up on the floor, I nodded, ready to disturb the next person’s peace.
All that night we made prank calls, laughing the whole way. And it was days like this, where we could revert back to being two big ass kids, playing. Feeding off one another, without outside interference.

Things were taking on a new form, as I was beginning to have a life outside of Jahrein and my children. As my circle changed, Jahrein seemed okay with me just kicking it without him hounding me about my every move. Now, there were a few of my classmates that I found myself hanging with.
I sometimes fucked with Tae, because she went to school with me.
But she was still in the streets more so, and I was trying to steer away from that scene.
I just wanted to live decently for the sake of my kids.
I didn’t want them to come close to living the way that I had.
So, I surrounded myself with chicks that shared the same views.
I met Michelle, who was a tall slim light skinned chick, and Joy, who was light brown, thick, with long curly hair, at school and started a fast friendship.
They were some of the few chicks that weren’t concerned with who my husband was or some shit like that.
Joy was a bit stuck-up, but Michelle was from the hood like me and had a man in the game.
So, I didn’t have to worry about them hanging around, trying to leach.
We often went to poetry readings and book signings. I was exposing myself to another world. I felt that I was the ultimate woman, because I was well rounded and could hang with just about anyone, from any background.
Jahrein Junior had just started Pre-K and was driving me up the wall.
Jahrae had just made one and was forever getting into things.
He was moving fast and people kept saying that he was getting out of the way for the next baby.
Maybe that old folk tale had some truth in it, because I was indeed pregnant again.
I couldn’t win for losing when it came to me and pregnancy.
I think that those birth control shots just made you more fertile.
They’d work as long as you kept up with the shots, but try missing one week. Trust me; you’d be knocked up too.
I tried presenting the news to Jah in a way that would sway him to consider an abortion. All that got my ass was cussed out.
“A baby is a gift from God.” he told me.
“But baby three is plenty. I just need a little time before I have another child.” I tried to reason.
“Raven, you got about six months of time before the baby comes.”
“That’s not what I mean, Jah. Just think about it.”
“Aint shit to think about. Why can’t you have another baby? I make sure that all y’all straight. It’s not like you work or something.”
