9. Hades #3
My baby sat in front of me, but how our chairs were positioned, she leaned back comfortably against me.
I loved Jin’jer so much that if I could live in her skin, I would.
Everything about this woman was perfect.
Yesterday, we went shopping, and she was on her phone half of the time with Dorian to ask if he liked things.
Yes, I said she overcompensated for something that was not her fault, but the reality was that I loved that she wanted to make something that she had no control over right. It spoke to her heart.
“Alright, everyone! We’re having a good time tonight,” the emcee said from the stage.
“We are almost ready to dance the rest of the night away, but we have one more person that wants to speak. I wasn’t sure if this person would make it back to town in time, but she did what she had to do to be here.
If you know her, then you know she’s gonna do what she gotta do. Julianna, get your fine ass up here.”
While the crowds erupted in cheers and applause, my body stiffened, and my breath hitched. Jin’jer lifted her back from my chest then turned in her seat to face me. Her brows furrowed. “Are you alright?”
I gathered myself quickly. “Yeah, baby, I’m straight,” I responded with a smile. I leaned forward and kissed her lips. “Now get back here.” I used her shoulders to turn her back around and pull her back to my chest. My arms wrapped firmly around her.
For the next few minutes, Julianna spoke about my grandfather in a beautiful light. The entire time, my chest remained tight. I was ready to go.
Like the emcee said, after Julianna’s speech, the DJ turned the party all the way up.
It was time to really celebrate. My brothers and I had an ongoing competition about who was the best dancer.
If you let them tell it, they were the best. The public, however, knew the truth.
It was I, and I was he. Jin’jer had her ass on my dick and her hands on her knees.
I pulled her back to my chest. “You’re about to get your ass in trouble. You better stop before I find the closest bathroom or closet to fuck?—”
“Hades, is that you?” The female voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I turned around taking Jin’jer with me since I still held her back to my chest. “Oh my God! I thought that it was you when I saw you from the stage. It’s been so long.”
She opened her arms then stepped forward to hug me. I put my arm out to stop her with my other arm still around Jin’jer. She was my shield right now. “Don’t touch me.”
I felt Jin’jer’s back straighten. Julianna’s brow rose as she stepped back. Her attention shifted to Jin’jer. “And who are you? I never thought I’d see the day that Hades showcased a woman in public. Well, unless she was a paid whore.”
“Yo, who she is, is none of your fuckin’ business. You don’t know shit about me. How about you move the fuck around?” My voice must have been louder than I realized because Poseidon turned his attention to our interaction after he tapped Zeus.
Julianna smiled with a tilted head. “Hades, why so crass? I’m just trying to get to know your lady friend.”
She reached her hand out and grabbed Jin’jer’s hand. I stepped from behind Jin’jer, smacked Julianna’s hand, then shoved her back with so much force that she fell backwards on the floor. “Don’t fuckin’ touch her.”
Jin’jer moved back in front of me and put her hand on my chest. Zeus rushed over and pushed me hard on my shoulder. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you fuckin’ crazy!”
Poseidon helped Julianna from the floor before he was also in my face. Jin’jer stood between me and my brothers. “Wait, wait!” She extended her arms out to stop my brothers from coming closer. “No, let’s everyone calm down.”
Julianna came to Zeus’s side. “Hades, I don’t know what your problem?—”
“Don’t fuckin’ talk to me, bitch!” My body pushed past Jin’jer toward her. I was stopped by Zeus’s fist before chaos pursued.
It took a lot of people to break up our fight.
Zeus and I fighting was indeed like watching two gods fight.
Once it was broken up, my father and grandfather stepped in the middle.
“Ti sto diáolo symvaínei edó (What the fuck is going on)?” He stepped into my face as much as he could with Jin’jer’s body between us.
“échases to gamiméno myaló sou, ádi (Have you lost your fucking mind, Hades)?”
“Gamíste aftí tin pórni (Fuck that whore)!” I grabbed Jin’jer’s hand. “Let’s go!” I pivoted on my heels and pulled her behind me out of the venue.
Our Sprinter was parked close to the front, and the driver was still there.
He stood up from where he leaned on it. When I told him to take me back to the house, he nodded.
He must have felt my angst because he rushed to the driver’s side.
Jin’jer climbed in after I opened the door for her.
The entire ride back to the house, no words were spoken, but her hand stayed on the back of my head in a rubbing motion. She was my peace.
