20. Ari
I’m so glad we could hang out for a little bit. I was so tired of being in the house, Zelan had to go out and handle some business with Juelz. So, Ciera, Toya, and I were out at this bar called Harlem Nights. The food was good, and the vibe was great.
“Ciera, you look good to be almost five months. You’re carrying the babies well,” Toya said, as she stuffed a fry in her mouth.
“Thanks, Toy, I feel good too,” Ci replied.
“I just bet you do, with that damn new ride you’re sliding in. I don’t know how you bitches lucked up and got these fine ass men, but baby I’m not mad at y’all at all. Shit, y’all my best bitches, and I’m happy for you both,” Toya spoke.
“I don’t have a man, he is just the father of my children,” Ciera said with her face scrunched up as if she was irritated.
“Shiiiiiiiiitttt, with the way that man looks and treats you, and it damn sure don’t hurt that his money is longer than the state of New York. I don’t give a damn what he did! Baby, I forgive you is all I’m gone say to his ass,” Toya said as we burst out laughing.
“I guess we better not tell Toya he put millions in the bank for you, and bought you a damn eight-bedroom house,” I said, smiling at Ciera.
“He did what? Hell yeah, I’m straight popping it for a real nigga!
What’s that song by fifty, oh I got it? Have a baby by me and be a millionaire!
In your case, it should be a billionaire!
Damn you did that shit in real muthafuckin life, Ci,” Toya’s ass said as she was twerking in her seat. Ciera and I were cracking up.
“I couldn't care less about his money. He hurt me, and it took me some time to get over that shit. I love him, I will never lie about that; however, it's going to take some time for me to just allow him back in, and besides, I don’t do married men,” Ciera stated.
She had a distant look on her face. I know she loves Juelz, and I think they will get back on track soon.
Something was up with this Kenya chick, and I think they had found out some shit based on the phone conversation I overheard Zelan having with Juelz.
“I think something is going on with Juelz and Kenya. I overheard Zelan talking on the phone with Juelz today, and they were talking about Kenya. I couldn’t make it all out, but my antennas were up to get more information,” I said to the girls.
“It’s funny you say that, because he told me that she would be a distant memory soon,” Ci responded.
“Whhhhhhatttt the fuck? This tea y’all spilling is better than watching Wendy Williams!
” Toya yelled, and we couldn’t do anything but shake our heads at her.
We had been here for a couple of hours, and it was time we head out and get home.
As I was getting ready to tell the girls I was ready to rock out, some chick walked up to the table.
“Excuse me, are you Zelan’s girl?” she asked.
“Who wants to fucking know?” Toya screamed at the chick, and then a light bulb went off in my head. This was the same chick from Zel’s hospital room that was fucking him. His ex-girlfriend Char, I think he said her name was.
“She knows who I am, tell your man that we’re having a baby in about six months,” the chick stated with a smirk on her face. I jumped up and punched her dead in her shit.
“I don’t know who the fuck you thought I was but bitch I’m with it.
I will give it how you muthafuckin bring it, I can promise you that!
I don’t give a fuck what you say you having with my man.
When you see me, just know it’s on sight, every muthafuckin’ time!
” I yelled as I continued to throw blows to her face, as security pulled me off of her.
“You going to jail bitch for putting your hands on me!” the chick yelled as she tried to swing on me. We heard a familiar sound and when we saw who it was, we knew all hell was about to break loose.
“Try it! Please go on and try it if you want to! I got something that’ll make you think twice, baby.
Now if you don't want this heat in yo ass, you will do what's best for you and get yo simple-minded ass out my granddaughter's face! And if you think twice about calling the police, well you know who Zelan and his crew is, I don’t have to remind you of it!” Grams yelled with her gun pointed on the chick. The girl hauled ass out of the bar.
“Grams, what are you doing here? And why are you pulling your gun out in public?” Ciera asked all damn nervous.
“Ciera, shut your scary ass up, this my hood. Cynt and I were in here having a drink and I was on my way to the bathroom when I saw y’all.
Now Ari, what the hell was all that shit about?
” Grams asked, and we all stepped outside.
I told Grams that was the chick that caused all the shit between me and Zelan.
Grams was walking around, cussing, throwing her hands all up in the air.
She said I should have told her who that was so she could beat her ass and put a hot one in her.
Grams didn’t play no games when it came to Zelan and Juelz.
After we calmed her down and said we were leaving, she got herself together and went back inside the bar to enjoy the rest of her night.
We got in the car and headed to drop Toya off.
“Yo, Lai is like every grandchild’s dream grandma. She’s nice, loves hard, and will ride for you whenever and wherever. I love that shit. I want y’all grandma to be my grandma, that lady was ready to go to war in these streets,” Toya said, laughing her ass off.
“Ari, don’t overthink this shit, just sit down and talk to Zel about it,” Ciera spoke as we drove home. I had so much on my mind, I hope what this Char chick said wasn’t true. I’m not sure if I can deal with him having a baby by her.
