30. Ari

I’m trying to get my education, and it was just careless of me to be fighting in the streets over bullshit, but it wasn’t bullshit to me. The bitch was disrespectful.

“Ari, baby, I don’t want you to stress over this shit. Everything is going to be ok. I won’t let anything happen to you,” Zel said, pulling me in for a hug.

My phone began to ring, and I saw it was Grams calling. “Hey Grams,” I greeted when I answered the phone.

“Hey baby, how you doing?” she asked

"I could be better since I got arrested yesterday,” I responded.

“Arrested! What the hell you talking about you got arrested? For the hell what?” Grams yelled.

“That bitch Char from the bar pressed charges on me, and the cops came to Zelan’s house to arrest me,” I spoke, and all I could hear was Grams moving around and rambling something.

“I know the fuck she didn’t! When I told her bitch ass what it was gone be! Where Zel at?” Grams screamed.

“He is right here,” I responded.

“Put him on speaker,” she demanded, so I put the call on speaker.

"Yeah, Ma, what's up?” Zelan said into the phone.

"What are we doing about this situation? Because this bitch done messed with my granddaughter, and you know I don't play about her," Ma spoke.

“I’m on top of it, Ma, let me handle it, Laila Ali,” Zel responded.

"Ok, I'm gone back down but if you need me, call me. I can be your back up,” Grams said.

“Lai, don’t you got something to do, like watch General Hospital or something? Grandmas are supposed to be nice and calm,” Zelan said, laughing because he knew that would set Lai off.

“I got your nice and calm with your rabbit ass head! I’m from , my show comes on all day, damn long nigga!

Watch your mouth, youngster!” Grams yelled, Zelan and I was crying, we were laughing so hard.

Grams sure knew how to lighten your mood, that’s why I love her.

We ended the call with Grams, and Zel assured me that I would be fine.

I pray that everything worked out for me, I have more important things to worry about.

"Listen, babe, I have all the information I need on Char. I promise you, I will make this go away,” Zel stated.

“I trust that you will, I’m going to lay down and watch Love and Hip Hop. I’m hungry, will you cook me something to eat?” I asked him.

"I got you, Queen, I’m going to order you something from the steakhouse downtown that we love to go to. What the hell I look like? Zel don’t cook boo! I will have your detail pick it up. I have to go meet Juelz,” he said laughing.

Hell, I was fine with that too. I was mad as hell in the beginning and ready to say fuck all this shit, but I love Zel and I know he didn’t cause this shit.

I know this bitch was jealous and wanted to mess up our home, but Ari Voss had something for her ass!

Nobody will come between me and my man. I will fight until the end of time for my family, and Zelan was indeed my family.
