7. Ari
The shit that has come out has my ass in disbelief.
Kenya deserves to be in the dirt, and if there is anyone that disagrees with me, eat a dick.
She messed over this man’s life for years, and I don’t blame him for his get back on her ass.
I’m so fucking relieved to know that Char is not pregnant by Zelan.
That bitch was nothing but trouble, and I see why because she had teamed up with the devil.
“You good babe?” Zel asked.
“Yep. Just as long as I’m with you, I’ll always be good.” I smiled. “I’m so glad you are here to share this with me, this place is beautiful. I’m just sad about why we’re here, though.”
He’s been down, and I know it’s because of Kari. Zelan loves that little girl, and I do too.
“I’m glad to be here with you to baby, it’s just fucked up to even have that information in my mind about niece, no matter what that chick said, that’s my niece, period.
When the family thing is over, I need you to meet me in the bedroom my pussy count’s down,” Zelan looked me up and down, and I looked at this fool and burst out laughing.
Who the hell let some shit like that roll off their tongue?
How can your pussy count be down? Only my man, that’s who.
“What’s up with Toya and Meek over there? They look like they arguing on the low,” I said to Zelan, and he turned in their direction.
“Shit, I don’t know let’s go be the fuck nosey,” Zel responded, as we stood to go check out our friends.
“What y’all got going on, over here?” Z asked, as we walked up on our friends.
“Nothing we good, just checking Ms. Lady out that’s all,” Meek stated.
“Nah, he was doing more than checking me out. He trying to be my daddy, and I already got one of them bum muthafuckas. I don't need another one,” Toya gritted out.
Meek stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her. I knew some shit was about to pop off because it was all over his damn face. I didn’t know him that well, but the look on his face told it all, and he wasn’t happy at all. Me and Zelan’s nosey asses was tuned in for it all.
“Look, lil' mama,” he said, stepping to her. “I don't need or want to be your daddy.”
Toya folded her arms across her chest, with an attitude.
“But what I do know is, you need to grow the hell up and get your mind right.
Stop playing with me, shorty. I'm not a game you can fuck with. I’m not one of these niggas that will let you talk to them any kind of way.
Yeah, I'm feeling you, but I ain't feeling you enough to be out here looking crazy in these fuckin’ streets over you. And another thing, I don't do this, lil girl shit you doing. I keep my shit private; never will I put my business out there for other people to discuss. I'm a grown, private-ass man. Respect me as such, and you'll get that same respect back. If that shit’s too hard for you, I suggest you do your thing and keep that shit over there. Clearly, we’re not equally yoked.” Meek’s deep New York accent was strong as hell, and even though we knew he was pissed, every word came out calm as hell.
Without waiting for a response, Meek turned and walked away, leaving us all standing here with our mouths wide open. Well, except for Zel, because his ass was standing there grinning from ear to ear like he was a proud father.
For the first time since they'd met, Toya stood there speechless. My girl always had a good comeback for these dudes, but it seems that she’s met her match.
“Oh, he think he did something. I’m good on his ass,” she muttered under her breath.
I couldn't help but laugh.
“Nah, friend, he doesn’t think he told you something, that nigga read the room on yo ass.” I laughed.
“Damn sure did. That’s my muthafuckin’ dog right there!” Zel said laughing and walked off behind Meek.
“That nigga got me tight as hell,” Toya said, pissed off.
“What the hell was that about, Toy?” I asked her.
“Girl, he upset that me and Shad was on the phone talking. He knows I have a man, so I’m really confused as to why his ass so mad,” Toya said.
“Did you talk to him about your relationship at all?” I asked.
“Yeah, he knows about it, and I told him about our problems. I just asked him to be quiet while I talked to Shad on the phone,” Toya spoke, and I looked at her like she had three damn heads.
Damn, she can’t be that damn crazy! Why would she think that someone like Meek would be quiet while she was on the phone with her dude?
“Seriously Toy, what the hell were you thinking? Look at Meek, do you think he the kind of man that is going to be quiet while you rap to another nigga? That nigga is a whole BOSS out here, and you talking about be quiet while you talk to your nigga,” I spoke, shaking my head at the same damn time.
“I get it, but he could have walked off. We not together, and if some chick called him, and I was there, I would have walked off to give him some privacy,” Toya said with her face scrunched up.
“The difference is Toya, I don’t think he would have even answered the phone.
You said you was feeling Meek, you not going to get him like that, bestie,” I told her.
I needed a drink listening to Toya was giving me a damn headache.
Zelan walked up to me, and Toya walked off into the house.
I glanced over at Meek, and his eyes were trained on Toya.
My best bitch better play her cards right, because I don’t think Meek is playing any games with her.
“Come on babe, let’s go spend some time together,” Zelan said, as he grabbed my hand and led the way in the house.
I went upstairs to jump in the shower, while Zelan went to get us some drinks.
About thirty minutes later, I was out of the shower and I saw Zelan sitting out on the patio.
I guess he decided not to join me in the shower since he took a shower before dinner.
“Hey babe, what you thinking about?” I asked as I took a seat beside him.
“Just thinking about how I’m going to make you my wife, get unlimited amounts of pussy, and have plenty of babies. You know I love you right?” Zelan said, staring at me.
“I know, and I love you too, babe, but the plenty of babies part, that shit threw me off. I can only give you two kids. That’s all I got in me to give,” I responded, kissing him on his lips.
“Yeah ok, that will be two a year for three years and we good,” Zelan said, and I laughed because this nigga was smoking that good shit if he thought I was having all those kids.
Zelan pulled me into his lap, and it was just an amazing feeling being here with him and in love. I heard a knock at the door, and I got up to go answer it.
“Hey sis, what’s up?” I asked Ciera.
“Sorry to bother you, but I need you for a moment,” Ciera stated, and I went to tell Zelan that Ci needed me and that I would be right back.
“What’s up boo?” I asked her.
“Angela left me a message and I’m going to call her back. I wanted you here with me, so that we can see what she is talking about,” Ciera stated.
“Ok, let’s call her now, so I can get back to Zelan,” I responded. Ciera pulled the number and dialed Angela, putting the call on speaker.
“Hello,” Angela said answering the phone.
“Hi Angela, it’s Ciera and Ari,” Ci stated.
“Hey girls, I’m glad you both called me back.
I know things are all bad between us and I want to make everything right.
I need help. I can’t live like this anymore, and I miss you two so much.
Ari, baby I’m so sorry for what I did to you, I should have protected you.
Ciera, I’m sorry for what I did to you as well, it’s just the drugs got me so messed up.
I’m ready to really get help, if you both will help me,” our mother cried out, and so did we.
I felt a hand touch my shoulder, and I turned to see Zelan standing there.
“Ari, if you want to try and work through this with her. I will support you, but she gon’ have to show me some things before I trust anything she says.
You are my number one priority, and if she does anything remotely close to what she did to you before.
I will put a bullet in the middle of her forehead, I just need you and Ciera to understand that,” Zelan said and walked downstairs.
“Angela, I will call you back in an hour. Let me figure this all out, and we will make sure you get the help you need,” Ciera stated. Just as Ciera ended the call Julez walked up the stairs.
“Let’s talk, ladies,” Juelz stated, leading us into his and Ciera’s room.
“We need to know what y’all planning on doing to help your mother,” Zelan asked.
“Yeah, because with all the shit that she has done, I’m not feeling the come to Jesus meeting with her,” Juelz said. I can understand where the guys were coming from, but it was a decision Ciera, and I would have to make because she is our mother.
“I know we have to watch her, but she is our mother, and we want to help her get better. She has grandchildren coming, and I want her to be a part of their lives,” Ciera responded.
“Ciera, I will not stop you, just know if she fucks with you or my children. You will have to make some hard choices baby, because I will kill her. I promise you that, if it was my mother and she brought harm to my children, she would be dead no hesitation,” Juelz stated.
“Julez, I get it, we will be careful when it comes to her,” Ci said.
“I think we should just get her in a drug facility and see what happens from there,” I told them.
“Look ladies, I’m with you. We are just taking the proper precaution for the sake of you both, and my children.
I have someone that will help you organize this baby.
Let me get her on the phone so we can get a place for your mother,” Juelz said to Ciera.
I truly hope that my mother was ready to get help and get her life back on track.
