Chapter 26 #5
“Well we’ll have to be around each other because we’re family.” I didn’t bother to address the other shit she said because it was stupid. She was my cousin, so I definitely loved her, but I didn’t care for the bitch and she didn’t care for me either. She proved that time and time again.
“I don’t have to be anywhere I don’t wanna be, Lyss. Family or not. Now if it’s you and your baby at a family gathering, cool. I have no ill feelings toward baby Kash. But if his daddy is present and welcomed then I won’t be fucking with it.”
“So if my mama has a birthday party what are you gonna do? Not come because Kenny might be there?”
“I had a long talk with Auntie Luna about everything a few days ago and she made it clear that she doesn’t even like Kenny enough to make me uncomfortable by inviting him to anything she throws.”
“Oh yea, you’re mad as fuck,” I replied heatedly.
My mom made it no secret that she didn’t like Kenny, but it was always because of what he wasn't paying for. She never attempted to get to know him as a person to have a genuine dislike for him. I really didn’t need Lourdes poisoning my mom’s mind against him even more.
“Am I mad? Or are you just delusional? I don’t fuck with Kenny at all.
He pulled some bitch shit by lying on my name and it really complicated my life last summer.
I would never be around a person that evil, and if I were you I’d be careful.
Then again, maybe you and him are equally yoked.
I don’t know…because I would have never guessed that the girl that I grew up with like a sister would fuck my boyfriend behind my back.
No one could pay me to slime you out like that.
Even now, there’s not a piece of me that wants to bring you harm or see you hurt.
So if anything I’m disappointed in you. But pleaseeee, believe and receive that I’m not mad about a damn thing.
In fact, I’ve never been happier. I hope you get the help you need so you can heal and be happy, too. ”
I wanted to go off on her because she had me fucked up! But when I opened my mouth, no words came out. She had silenced me and I was so frustrated that I wanted to slap the smug smile off her face.
“Alright, cousin, I’m finna get back to partying” she laughed. She fucked my head up even more by giving me a hug before stepping back up into the section.
“AYEEEEE! This my shit!” She jumped back on the couch with her hands up. “So many niggas! It’s so hard to pick one! But if I got to…I want the rich one!” She turned around and made her ass jump like a stripper.
I was in disbelief with how that interaction had gone and I felt stupid, so I got the fuck on. I was almost back to my section, when someone tapped my shoulder extremely hard. I spun around with an attitude and my heart dropped when I saw Kayla’s big sister, Kamesha, and their cousins.
“BITCH, what was all that shit you was saying to my sister?!”
Damn. Kayla and I had exchanged words right after she gave birth.
She was calling me so I could make Kenny go be with her at the hospital.
I basically told her that I couldn’t make him do shit if his heart wasn’t in it.
We got into a big argument where we cursed each other out from A to Z, and that’s when she started throwing shots at me on IG.
Of course I threw my fair share of shade back at her, but I was simply responding.
“Look, she came at me crazy over my nigga. I don’t have no issue with Kay-”
I was silenced with a hard fist to my face and before I knew it all those bitches had jumped on me.
I was only 5’2 and I was still slim after having my son, so it was easy for a bigger bitch to overpower me.
I damn sure couldn’t take on three big bitches at once.
Knowing that I wasn’t too far from the section, I expected the twins to run up and help me out at any second.
I was on the ground being stomped and punched on, and I couldn’t even shield my face with my arms because one of those bitches had purposely grabbed them.
It felt like I was getting my ass beat for an eternity before security decided to show up and save me.
One of the big security guards lifted me off the ground and held me over his shoulder.
I made direct eye contact with my so-called “work bestie.” She offered me a measly sympathetic look before turning away.
“Let me go! I’ma fuck that bitch up!” Kamesha screamed while trying to break loose from the security guard who was holding onto her.
Getting jumped by Kayla’s people was never a thought in my mind.
Her family was like my family and vice versa.
If anybody jumped me tonight I thought it’d be Lourdes and her lil friends.
I glanced back towards the section she was in, wondering if she saw me get jumped.
If she did and didn’t do anything then that was crazy.
She was just claiming that she still loved me and didn’t want to see me hurt.
So where the fuck was she when I needed her?
“Bitch…I know you lying,” I muttered. She was on a head stand on the couch, making her heels click to Mellow Buckzz “Move.” I guess she wasn’t lying when she said she wasn’t worrying about me.
