Chapter 23 #2
“Yeah, and I like it like this, too. You checked on Granny and the girls?” I asked and she shook her head no.
I stood up to head out to the floor. I had some cuts scheduled, one being Tech and he just hit me to let me know that he was here.
Before leaving my office, I dropped a kiss on Tiomi’s lips, “Check on my kids and relax. I’ll make Rex and Dirk soft ass come in here to move this shit around for you. ”
They weren’t doing shit but taking up space in my lobby anyway and Dirk will bend over backwards to make sure Tiomi’s spoiled ass is happy.
Tech was already in my chair when I surfaced the floor of my shop.
Him having an appointment today was actually clutch as fuck because maybe he could make sense of this shit for me.
“Aye, my money looking funny as fuck for the shop bro’. It’s been some wire transfers and shit that I know neither me nor Tio has authorized because it was done when we were in Mexico getting married, I need you to look into that for me,” I said to Tech as I draped the cape around his neck.
“You know I got you fam. I can’t believe somebody would even try you like that. Muhfuckas is getting outta they bodies.”
I definitely agreed. Muhfuckas think I done got soft, but the last thing they want is for Grim to show face.
Niggas wasn’t ready for that. Thing is though, nobody has ever stolen from me.
I made sure my entire team ate good just to avoid shit like this, so I’m kind of mind blown about this shit.
I temporarily put the situation behind me to finish my boy up because I knew Tech was going to see what was going on and I’d handle it accordingly.
While I was cutting, I noticed that Nia walked to the back of my shop. I couldn’t tell whether she went to my office or the bathroom because they were in the same direction, but I prayed for the latter because a nigga ain’t trying to break up no fights.
“RJ been under the radar bro’. I don’t know how this nigga keeps slipping through the cracks. I’ve hacked into every fuckin’ camera and database that I could, and I keep coming up empty.”
“Yeah, I know. The silver lining in it is he’s not that smart so I know he gone fuck up and I’ma be right there when he does.”
I knew for a fact that he wasn’t in the states because Ramirez’s brother told me that he’s seen him since the shooting, but they left him alone for me.
While I was in Mexico, I had a sit down with Antonio and the other leaders in the cartel to discuss my plans.
Not only did RJ kill his pops, but he violated me in the worst way so for that he was going to die.
I’m glad they were receptive to my plans because I was going to kill him regardless, I’d just to not go to war with those who are supposed to be my people behind it.
While Tech and I were mid conversation Nia came prancing from the back with a sneaky smirk on her face. It made me uneasy and had me shifting my gaze to the back of the shop where I knew my office was.
The fuck was she on?
I had finally finished Tech’s cut and I was brushing the excess hair from his neck and face before I pulled the cape from around his neck. He stood to his feet and adjusted his clothes before pulling a bill from his pocket.
“Aight, ‘preciate it bro’. I’ll get on that asap and let you know what I come up with.
” He extended a closed fist to me and I did the same before he made his way out of the shop.
I was still uneasy about the look that Nia’s rat ass had on her face so after I was done straightening my station I retreated to my office.
When I walked in, Tio was sitting behind the desk looking at the computer screen.
“You ready to eat baby?”
“I asked you if you had a female in your office when Chy called and told me that day right?” she finally put her eyes on me.
“Yeah, but —”
“No! There are no buts. I asked you and you lied to my face Grim! I can see where the girl knocked and came in here. The two of you didn’t leave out until ten minutes later.”
“Tio, wasn’t sh—”
“Shut the fuck up, Jawan. You had a chance to do all of this talking when I asked but you chose to lie so now, I don’t want to hear shit you have to say.
” She stood from her seat and started to gather all of her things.
“You need to come get whatever shit you’re going to need out of my house because you won’t be staying there. ”
“Baby,” I sighed out. “I didn’t do shit with that girl.”
“Yeah, well you had a chance to tell me all of that but instead you lied. You have until eight or you’ll have to go buy all new shit.”
Once she was done speaking her peace, she left my office. With every step she took my chest grew tighter and tighter. I had fucked up and potentially lost my wife and I didn’t even get no pussy from that hoe. I stood to grab my phone and keys to try and beat her home.
“Joe, I need to head out for a second; I’ll be back to lock up.”
I didn’t even let him respond, I just rushed out of the door, hopped in my car and floored it all the way to the house.
I couldn’t lose my family behind no stupid shit like this.
I was pulling in right behind Tiomi, who I could see letting the girls out of the car.
I made my way into their direction and grabbed Lae’s seat out of her hand.
“I got it, Grim.” She tried to snatch it away from me, but I gave her a look that let her know not to play around with my kids. I didn’t give a fuck about her attitude when it came to them. I helped the girls into the house and grabbed Lae out of her seat. I missed the fuck out of my babies today.
“You need to be getting your stuff and leaving Grim, you’re not staying here.”
“And where the fuck you expect me to go, Tio? We’re married, bruh.” I was frustrated that we were even here and dealing with this shit behind Si’s stupid ass. “Tio, baby you gotta believe me. I wasn’t on no shit in my office man.”
“That’s the fucking problem, I did believe you and you lied. Go over there with that bitch. I’m over it honestly, I don’t give a fuck where you go as long as it’s not my house.”
“Tio I was not closed up in there with her ma, I swear to God on our kids. That bitch came up there because she heard I was shot, and she couldn’t contact me to check on me.”
“Don’t put anything on my kids nigga,” she snapped. “And check on you for what? You’re not hers to be concerned about or am I missing something?” she accused with lifted brows.
Letting the frown that I wore deepen, my eyes connected to hers again. “You’re not missing shit because it ain’t nothing with me and that fuckin’ girl.”
“So, she wasn’t arguing back and forth with Nia when she told her to get out?”
Now that made me laugh. “Yo’ you for real right now ma? That’s who told you all this shit?” I asked and she shrugged. “You don’t even like that hoe man and she knows it so why the fuck you believing anything that she tells you?”
“Is she lying?”
“Hell yeah, she fuckin’ lyin’. That bitch wasn’t asking her to leave, she questioned me about her like she was my girl and I checked both of their asses. Tiomi I love you man and I wouldn’t jeopardize our family for no bullshit, aight?”
She stood before me with tears sliding down her pretty face and it made me feel like shit. I reached for her hand with the arm that Lae wasn’t in and this time she let me pull her into my body.
“What do I need to do to fix this? I can’t lose y’all.” I let my touch move to her already growing belly. “We’re about to have another baby and you don’t need to be doing any of this shit alone.”
“That’s for you to figure out, I’m not going to deal with you lying to me, Grim. I don’t lie to you, so I deserve the same respect in return.” She lifted Jalae out of my arms and moved out of my embrace. “You need to find somewhere to stay until you have this situation handled with these bitches.”
The frown returned to my face when she said that. “Yo’, you serious?”
“Yep, and take Rae with you for the night. I’m tired.”
I was currently chilling in VIP in Lust with Shad and Darren facing a blunt.
I felt bad for Shad because all he had been doing was complaining about not being able to fuck Chy because I was in the doghouse which in turn placed him in the doghouse.
I had done everything in my power to get back in Tio’s good graces, but she wasn’t budging.
“Fuck man,” I heard Shad say from beside me before he took a shot of the Don Julio we had been sipping on.
“What’s wrong?” Darren asked him.
“This bitch Meagan. She just told me she was pregnant; I can’t be having a baby with her hoe ass. Chy pregnant, too, she gone flip her shit man.”
“Oh, she gone fa show flip her shit. The fuck you doing going in Meagan naked?”
“I never fucked that bitch raw man, at least not that I can remember. I be so fucked up in here when I be fuckin’ her so it’s hard to recall.”
I didn’t really have shit to offer him in response. I told this nigga on several different occasions to chill the fuck out, but he never listened. Every chance I got I told this nigga to settle down with Chy, but he had it figured out.
“Don’t you have cameras in there though?” Darren asked. “I mean get the expected due date from her, do the math, then check the cameras. That will get you your answer and you’ll know what to do moving forward.”
Shad nodded his head at the advice he’d just received. “Word. I knew your goofy ass was good for something.”
Darren stood to his feet and shook his head at the compliment and insult as he polished off the last of his drink. “I’m going home to my wife and nieces. Good luck to the both of you.”
