 Prologue
Khatori ‘Tori’ Lewis

“Are you going to answer that?”

I was sitting in my living room having a smoke session with my
sister, Damesha. My boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend, JaVon, had been blowing
me up like crazy since I broke up with his dog ass. I walked into him,
getting head from his stepsister, Diamond. I was utterly disgusted because if
he was comfortable with her sucking his dick, then he was comfortable
enough to be fucking her. Yeah, I was good on all of that. When I saw that
shit, I called his mama, Justine, and told her and she was just as disgusted
as I was. Come to find out, they’ve been fucking since her dad, Clarence,
married JaVon’s mom. My stupid ass thought the girl didn’t like me because
she was being a protective sister. Not hardly. This bitch had been fucking
my nigga in my face this entire time.
“I wish I would I answer for that incestual dick ass nigga.” I
frowned.
“Bitch!” She spit her drink out, laughing at my comment.
“What?”
“That is not his real sister,” she protested.
“Stepsister is all the same. Their parents are married, and that’s
nasty as fuck. Fuck JaVon, and I’m beating Diamond’s ass every time I see
that loose pussy ass hoe.” I was pissed. JaVon and I had been together for
three years and he’s been fucking this bitch for the last year and a half.
“Don’t let them ruin your day or your birthday. Fuck them. I say we
go out this weekend to celebrate your birthday and forget all about the
bullshit they put you through. You hear 21, right?”
I ain’t textin’ back that bitch, hol’ up
I ain’t stressin’ bout that bitch, hol’ up
 I laughed as she rapped the lyrics to 21 Savage’s ‘X’. He was right.
The fuck I look like stressing over that nigga or that bitch. He is definitely
going to hate the lick back. I wish I knew his daddy so I could fuck him and
that nigga my stepson. We continued to sit around and smoke and have a
few drinks before she left. When she left, I grabbed the box of black trash
bags, gloves, and lye I brought just for this occasion. Going inside of my
bedroom, I went into the dresser and pulled out all of his funky ass
underwear, socks and tank tops. Once that one was empty, I went to the
other one to retrieve his basketball shorts and t-shirts and threw them inside
of the bag too. When that bag was full, I got another one and repeated the
steps until I removed every trace of JaVon’s trifling ass from my apartment.
Once I had everything bagged up, I sprinkled the lye into each bag, making
sure I covered everything. After that deed was done, I dragged each bag to
the front of my apartment before setting them shits outside. I was tired after
that, so I took my ass and got into the shower. My phone was going crazy
when I got out and I let it. I knew it was nobody but JaVon. I took my time
moisturizing my body and getting dressed before I picked up the phone.
This nigga really called me fifty times. You would think he would get the
picture by now. I didn’t bother blocking him because I wanted him to feel
the hurt of me ignoring his ass. I looked further and noticed he texted me to.
Incestual Dick Nigga: I know you see I’m calling you?
Incestual Dick Nigga: Bae, answer the phone. Let me explain.
Incestual Dick Nigga: Really Tori?
Incestual Dick Nigga: So, you really gon’ ignore me?
I was over him blowing my phone up, so I texted him back since I
didn’t want to talk to his ass.
Me: Come get your shit!
That was all I said, and it was enough for him to get his ass over
here to get his shit. Grabbing my phone, I went back up front to fix myself
something to eat. After smoking two blunts and having a few shots with
Mesha, I had the munchies real bad. Since I already had some shrimp out, I
was going to make some shrimp alfredo real quick. While I was making my
sauce, I heard a banging on my front door. Smirking, I ambled to open it
because I knew it was JaVon. When I opened the door, he stood before me
with the evilest glare on his face that he could muster up. I don’t know if it
was the fact that he looked as if he was scaring me or the fact that I’m high
but the laughter that emitted from gut and out of my voice box would’ve
been enough for him to beat my ass.
“This shit funny to you, Tori?” he raged.
Trying to catch my breath, I looked up at him as I wiped the tears
out of my eyes. With my head cocked to the side and folded my arms across
my chest, I responded. “Yeah, it is. Did you and that hoe think it was funny
to be fucking that bitch behind my back?” He looked at me, then back at his
clothes.
“C’mon, bae. Let me expl—”
I put my hand up to cut him off.
“Save the bullshit, Von. It ain’t shit to explain. I saw you. I saw her.
I saw her with your dick in her mouth. What the fuck else could there be to
explain?”
He stood there looking stupid because there was nothing else to
discuss. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but knew better.
Instead, he picked up his clothes and walked his pitiful ass to his car and
left.
When I closed the door and locked it, I smelled something burning.
“Shit!” I screeched, darting back to the kitchen. I made it to the
stove and noticed I burned my sauce fucking around with his dumb ass.
“Damn it! I wanted that, too.” I pouted.
It wasn’t anything I could do but throw the shit away and order
something off of DoorDash. Since I already had my mouth tuned up for
some alfredo, I ordered from Olive Garden.
Once my food came and I ate, I was ready to lay my ass down. I had
a full day tomorrow if I was going to go out with Mesha. As I got ready to
get into my bed, JaVon was calling again. This time I answered because I
knew exactly why he was calling.
“What, JaVon?” I answered.
“Tori, what the fuck did you put in my clothes? This shit burns,” he
bellowed.
 “Oh, that was just a little lye for a lying ass nigga. I was hoping you
put the boxers on so you it could burn your dirty ass dick off.”
“You better watch your back, bitch. I swear on my mama I’ma beat
your ass when I see you.”
“Boy, fuck you and your mama.”
I hung up the phone and blocked his ass. I hope his skin dry rots.

∞∞∞
Reluctantly, I agreed to go out with Mesha tonight. My thirty-inch
body wave wig with a middle part bust down was laid to the hair gods. I
had a fresh blinged-out set, and my toes were freshly painted in my
signature milky white polish. I chose a brown short strapless romper that
had sequins on the torso and leather shorts that complimented my Umber
colored skin. I donned a pair of gold metallic strappy heels and a faux gold
Cuban Link necklace and bracelet. I didn’t see the need to wear makeup, so
I didn’t. I had my lashes and brows done the other day, so all I did was
swipe a coat of nude gloss on my lips and was ready to go.
“You look good, bitch, but hurry up. I’m not trying to be in line all
night.” Mesha was always rushing me. She acted as if we would miss
something if we showed up late. It was the club. Granted, it’s only been
open a few months, but wasn’t any such thing as being late. Not wanting to
hear my sister’s mouth anymore, I grabbed my small wristlet and phone so
we could leave.
“Bring your ass. You’re paying for the Uber, too.”
We were celebrating my twenty-fourth birthday, so I planned on
getting white girl wasted and high as a bitch sitting on the moon. After
taking our last shot, we were two in just as our Uber pulled up. It didn’t take
long for us to get to the club and just like I knew it would be, the line was
lined up along the wall of the club.
“This is why I told you to hurry your ass up,” she fake fussed.
When we got to the front, we saw you could skip the line for a fee.
Mesha didn’t hesitate to hand the bouncer the hundred dollar fee, and we
were granted access inside without having to wait forever. The vibe was
already nice, and I went straight to the bar so I could order my shot. After
checking the vibe, I was ready to dance. The DJ must’ve felt my vibe
because the song switched from Rocko’s ‘U.O.E.N.O’ to Yo Gotti’s ‘Rake It
Up’ and I turned my ratchet meter on immediately.
I tell all my hoes, Rake it up
Break it down, bag it up
Fuck it up, fuck it up
Back it up, back it up
Rake it up, rake it up
My sister was my biggest hype person, and I followed her and
Gotti’s instructions and raked that shit up like I was trying to get my rent
paid for the next few months.
“Aye! Get it, bitch!” I heard Mesha yell over the music.
By the time the song was over, those shots I had between home and
here had me ready to pee on myself.
“Whew, bitch. I got to pee, now.” I laughed.
We made our way into the crowd toward the back, where the
bathrooms were located. It seemed the closer I got, the more I had to pee.
At this point, I was doing a light sprint and when I turned the corner; I ran
right into a hard ass body.
“Whoa, mama. Slow down,” I heard a deep, husky voice say as he
caught me before I busted my ass.
When I looked up to apologize, my words got stuck in my throat.
This man was fine as hell. I knew he stood a little over six feet since I came
to his chest with my heels on. The braids that adorned the top of his head
were crisp and neat. You could tell that he hadn’t been growing his hair
long, but it still looked nice on him with his faded sides. The beard that
decorated the lower half of his face had me envisioning my juices soaking
it. The way his tattoos littered and covered every visible part of his body
minus his face let me know he was worth every bit of trouble he looked
like.

 Ajoni ‘Khaotic’ Brooks

“Whoa, mama. Slow down.”

I was coming from the bathroom that was in the back of the club
instead of going to my office since this one was closer when shorty’s fine,
thick ass ran into me…literally. I had to catch her because she was well on
her way to busting her ass and probably twisting her ankle in the process.
“Uhm, my bad. I didn’t see you,” she apologized.
“It’s all good.”
I let my eyes roam over her thick frame, and I didn’t hide the fact
that I liked what I saw. When she tried to move around me, I grabbed her
arm. Her eyes immediately went to where I had her in my grasp and she
shot me a cute ass mug. I threw my hands up in mock surrender, signaling
that I didn’t want no smoke.
“My bad, mama. I just wanted to know your name.”
“It’s Tori, now excuse me before I pee on the both of us.”
I let my eyes trail behind her and her homegirl. They favored a lot,
so I assumed that was her sister or cousin. She was bad too, but I had my
eyes on shorty. As I made my way back to our section, I passed a few
people that I knew from around the way that wanted to bid me farewell. For
those that knew me, knew that I was about to turn myself in on Monday on
some bullshit ass Fed charges. I mean, it wasn’t bullshit, but it was. It
wasn’t even my charge but my little brother’s. I preached to his ass about
being flashy, but he was hard-headed as fuck. We were on the way to the
spot, but that dumb muthafucka was going live while he was driving and
the police pulled us over. I wanted to beat his ass on the spot, but I wanted
this fuck ass stop to be over with as quick as possible. When they pulled us
over, we were demanded to get out of the car. Tae’s stupid ass was arguing
with the cops like we didn’t already have two strikes against us. One being
we were black, and two, it looked like we had money since we were dressed
in designer. When they searched the car, they found Tae’s bookbag. I was
praying he didn’t have shit in there, but my prayers didn’t leave my
thoughts. This stupid muthafuckas had coke, weed, and an unregistered
firearm in his bag. I cut my eyes at him, letting him know not to say a
fucking word. I owned up to the shit and since my record wasn’t spotless;
they took my black ass in. Once I called up my lawyer, I was released with
an ankle monitor. When I went to my hearing, they sentenced me to eight
years with the option to get out in five if I took the plea deal. Five sure
sounded better than eight, so I took the deal. This was my last weekend out
because come Monday my black ass would become state property.
When I got to the section, Tae had some girl in his lap with a bottle
of Hennessy turned up. I hated to leave my little brother out here, but he
damn sure wouldn’t have made it on the inside. Don’t get me wrong, he
ain’t no pussy ass nigga, he’s just not the smartest one. He’s impulsive and
rarely thinks things through. I know that sounds crazy from a nigga they
call ‘Khaotic’, but there was always a method to my madness. This nigga
just didn’t give a fuck. As Gucci Mane’s ‘I Get The Bag’ roared through the
speakers, I took a seat by my brother, and he passed me the blunt he was
smoking.
“You good, bro?” he asked as he glanced my way.
I nodded.
“You know you don’t have to do this shit, right?”
I looked at him before I responded. “You know it’s already done,
right? All I need you to do is keep your face clean while I’m gone and don’t
be worrying, GiGi.” I was referring to our grandmother, Hazel. She raised
us, along with our aunt, Patricia, when she got of age, since our mother
Katrina, or Kat as we called her, was too busy in the streets. I didn’t
necessarily hate Kat, but I could do without her ass. She was so deep in the
streets that she didn’t know who me and Tae’s father was. In her own sick
way, she named both of us a variation of ‘John’. My name was Ajoni, while
that nigga’s name was Jontae. What kind of shit was that? We made the best
of it, though. Patricia is who we called Ma. Kat was just a family member
that we saw now and then.
“Ain’t nobody gon’ be wilding while you’re down. I got you, bro.”
We dapped hands and continued to vibe. I couldn’t get shorty from
earlier off of my mind, so I left in search of her. I found her at the bar,
standing up, dancing as she waited for her drink. I smoothly walked up
behind her and placed both of my hands on either side, locking her in. She
turned her head to the side and smirked when she realized it was me.
 “You real close for a nigga’s name I don’t know,” she sassed.
“Khaotic,” he responded.
“Khaotic?” she repeated. “I know that’s not what your mama calls
you?”
“You not my mama, though.” I smirked.
“Well, Khaotic,” she emphasized. “It’s my birthday. Have a shot
with me and my sister.” I looked up and her sister was smirking at us. I
heard her order three shots of Don Julio. I signaled to the bartender to put it
on my tab.
“I got you, but on one condition.”
I could see the curiosity in her eyes.
“What’s that?”
“Let me take you home.” I insisted.
The bartender came and placed the shots in front of us. We each
picked up a shot glass and downed the liquor. I was impressed to see shorty
take that shit down without flinching.
“So, you going to let me take you home or what?” I leaned in and
asked.
“On one condition.”
“Wassup?” I questioned.
“Dance with me.” Her pretty ass face held a smirk. Damn, this girl
was fine as a muthafucka.
“I’on dance, shorty.”
“You can’t tell me no on my birthday.”
The DJ started playing Rihanna’s ‘Work’ and shorty started grinding
on me. I switched places and now had my back against the bar while she
did her thing. I watched as she twerked and ground her ass on my dick. If
she wasn’t going home with me, I was going to damn sure enjoy the show.
When she leaned up and put one of her arms around my neck and caressed
the back of my head, I was ready to leave this muthafucka now.
“You playing, but if you not leaving with me, you can put a stop to
your little show now and let me go find somebody more willing,” I
whispered in her ear.
 She looked at her sister, and she still had that smirk on her face
before turning back to me.
“I’m ready when you are,” she clarified.
“Bet. Let me go tell my brother I’m leaving.”
I removed her from my body and went to tell my brother I was
leaving, but I would see him tomorrow. I had a club manager, so I knew he
would make sure everything got shut down at the end of the night. I knew
Tae wouldn’t leave until then, anyway. He may have been reckless, but he
didn’t play about money. When I went back down to the bar, baby girl and
her sister were taking down another shot.
“Did y’all drive?” I asked.
“No, we took an Uber,” she responded.
“Nah, I can’t let your people catch an Uber back this late. Come on,
I’ll drop her off, too.” I ushered them both outside to the car. I had a sister-
cousin, and I didn’t play about her. I don’t know if they had brothers or not,
but I wasn’t about to have that on my conscience.
She gave me the address to her sister’s apartments, and we dropped
her off first before we went back to her place. I usually got a hotel room,
but I was all the way here now. I didn’t move without my Glock, so I wasn’t
worried. My only concern was the last piece of free pussy that I would have
for the next five years.
***
“Shit, shorty. Ride this dick.” I groaned.
I went back home with Tori, and I was now enjoying round three.
This was going to be all the pussy I get for a while, and I was going to wear
this muthafucka out. I thought she would’ve tapped out by now, but shorty
was in here showing out on the dick. I mean tongue wagging and toes
curling.
“Khaotic, I’m about to cum again,” she whimpered.
I took that as my que and started fucking her from underneath.
“Oh, shit! Slow down,” she whined.
“I ain’t slowing shit down.” I growled. “Take this dick,” I ordered.
 When I felt her rain down on me, I flipped us over and hammered
into pussy while I kissed her passionately yet nasty. I didn’t make it a habit
of kissing women in the mouth, but like I said, I was going to enjoy this.
Besides, I’ve already had every part of her body in my mouth. Her lips
wouldn’t hurt shit. I felt my nuts start to tingle and the first jolt shot through
me. This was my fourth nut of the night, but it felt like the first. That
muthafucka shot through me before I could even brace for it.
“Arrrg…fuck!” I grunted into her neck as her pussy spasmed around
me.
“Shit, Khaotic,” she moaned, experiencing an orgasm of her own.
Rolling to the side of her, I lied on my back trying to catch my
breath. I heard light snoring from beside me and I smirked. I fucked that ass
to sleep. I wouldn’t mind waking her up, but I needed to get the fuck out of
here. It was going on six o’clock in the morning and I needed to go get a
nap before I got ready for the shit my family had planned for me. I leaned
over and squeezed her ass and kissed her shoulder before I slipped my
clothes on and left. Hopefully, she would be able to pick up where we left
off when I got out. If not, I got enough to keep me over until I found a C.O.
I could bust down.

 Chapter One
Khatori
5 years later…
Today was my twenty-seventh birthday, and I wasn’t up to
celebrating. Ever since I caught JaVon and his stepsister in the act on my
birthday, I’ve been against celebrating it. My sister Mesha wasn’t having
that though because she drug me to the club that weekend. That night
changed my life more than I cared to show. I ended up letting Khaotic slut
me out that night and he was gone when I woke up. I didn’t really care
about that part because that’s usually how one-night stands went. What
bothered me was that I later found out that I was pregnant and at the time I
didn’t know if the baby was JaVon’s or his. I don’t know what made me be
that reckless, but the result of that blessed me with my beautiful baby girl,
Leah Grace. She is the highlight of my life. Luckily, she looked exactly like
me. Since I never seen or heard from Khaotic again, I let JaVon claim her.
With me being pregnant, he thought that meant for us to get back together,
but I wasn’t hearing that shit. I rarely asked him for shit, but he did his part
when it was needed. Diamond was so threatened by me that she didn’t
allow him to come see Leah without her. I guess she thought I was playing
when I said I would beat her ass every time I saw her. After the first few
visits, she fucked around and found out. Now, JaVon barely sees Leah and I
couldn’t care less.
While I was getting dressed for work, my mother called.
“Hey ma,” I answered.
“Happy birthday, baby.”
“Thank you, ma.”
“You’re still working today?” she asked.
“Yes ma’am. These bills don’t stop just because I turned another
year older.”
 “You ain’t never lied. You still coming to dinner tonight, right?”
Every year, our mother made our favorite dinner on our birthdays.
She was big on celebrating, so we let her have that time with us.
“You know I am. I’m not even going to eat lunch. I want all the
room in my stomach to be reserved for those oxtails.”
She laughed at my comment, and we said our goodbyes before
hanging up. I already dropped Leah off at pre-school since she had to be
there by 7:45. I didn’t have to be at work until ten. I worked at a finance
company as their manager and chief loan officer. I was in school pursuing
my bachelor’s in accounting when I found out I was pregnant with Leah. I
already had my Associates, but I wanted all the credentials I could get.
Since I didn’t finish the program, I didn’t qualify for the jobs that I wanted.
When I saw that one of the local finance companies was looking for a lead
loan officer, I applied, and I got the job. The job was simple, and the pay
was decent. I made enough to make sure neither Leah nor I had to go
without. Outside of what JaVon contributed, my mother and sister were a
big help.
“I know you have to go to work, so I’ll see you tonight.”
We hung up, and I finished getting myself together before I grabbed
my purse, phone and keys and headed out. I had a few minutes to spare, so I
stopped by Starbucks to get coffee for me and Rasheeda. She’s been
working with me for the last year as my assistant manager, and we’ve
gotten pretty close. We were both single mothers, but her son was thirteen,
and from what she said, he was a handful. Her cousin used to help her with
him before he went to prison, and her other cousin seems to be worse than
the child.
Once I got our coffee, I headed to work. To say I was surprised to
see that they’d decorated my office with balloons and flowers was an
understatement. What really got me was Rasheeda coming from the back
with a cake and they all started singing the TikTok version of the birthday
song.
I wanna say happy birthday to you (to you oh)
I wanna say happy birthday to you (you)
Rasheeda was the ringleader, loud and off key, but I loved her crazy
ass.
 Now close your eyes and make that wish (make that wish)
Think about it (aye)
And blow out your candles
I blew the candles out and my other coworkers clapped and cheered.
“Happy birthday, bookie,” Rasheeda sang.
“Thank y’all so much.”
They all took turns handing me cards and gifts. It was only about six
of us here so we all pretty much got along. It was one girl, though, Alicia,
that always had her nose turned up at everybody, but she even handed me a
card with a tight-lipped smile. I’m pretty sure Rasheeda threatened her ass.
She’d had a stick up her ass ever since I came in and got a job she just knew
she was going to get, yet she was underqualified.
I finally got situated at my desk after taking my gifts out to my car.
Rasheeda came in and sat in the empty chair that was in front of my desk.
As soon as I sat down, she started her foolishness.
“What that hoe give you?” she asked.
“I didn’t even look. Knowing her, it might be some anthrax in it.”
We shared a laugh.
“Have you decided what you’re doing for your birthday? I told you
to come out with me this weekend to my cousin Joni’s coming home party.
Everything is free and what’s not, him or his brother will cover it.” She
insisted.
“How can he cover something fresh out of prison, Rah?” I quizzed.
“Don’t worry about all that. Just say that you’ll come with me. You
can even bring LeLe to my mom and she’ll watch her.”
She was really laying it on thick, but I didn’t need a sitter.
“If I go, my mama can watch her for me. Do you mind if I bring my
sister?”
“Girl, no. You know Mesha cool with me. Y’all like the sisters I
never had, even though you don’t be wanting to hang out much or come
over” I caught the shade she was throwing but I wasn’t mad because she
wasn’t lying. I chilled with Rasheeda sparingly and that’s only because I
didn’t trust many females, but she was slowly showing me that some
females could be trusted. “All I got are cousins, but they’re more like my
brothers. You and Mesha can meet me at the club because I’ll be there early.
You can just text me when you’re outside.”
After agreeing to go out with her this weekend, I got started with my
day. Hopefully, it wouldn’t drag because the faster I could get it over with,
the faster I could leave and stuff my face with my mama’s home cooking.
It was close to seven when I got off, so I called my mama to let her
know I would go home first and shower, then I would be over. She already
picked Leah up from school for me, so I didn’t have to worry about that.
When I got out the shower, I heard a knock on my door. Looking at the
camera app on my phone, I saw it was JaVon. I rolled my eyes to the top of
my head before trekking to the door. When I opened it, he stood there
looking fine as ever, but that didn’t excuse the fact that he was a fuck nigga.
“What do you want, Von?” I asked.
“I came to give you your gift.” He extended his hand, and it was a
rectangular gift box in it, wrapped in a gold bow.
“Thank you.” I took the box from his hand, and he still stood there.
“You need something else?”
“Damn, I can’t come in?” he asked.
“Leah isn’t here, so no,” I stated.
“Damn, Tori. When are you going to let that shit go?” he seethed.
“Let it go? Von, please get the fuck out of my face. How do you
expect for me to just let some shit like that go? Look, I can be cordial with
you, but that’s where it ends. I don’t need or want anything else from you.”
We stood in a brief stare off until he retreated. “I’ll be here Sunday
to pick Leah up. My mama wants to see her.” I nodded and closed the door
behind him.
Going back into my room, I finished getting dressed before I opened
the box that JaVon gave me. Inside it was the latest Pandora Cuban Link
bracelet. I smirked at the gesture. He was good at providing when he had to,
but I couldn’t get over the fact that he was a dog ass nigga. Once I clasped
the bracelet on, I grabbed my belongings and headed to my mother’s for
dinner. I purposely starved myself so I could have room for dinner.

When I arrived at my mother’s house, my sister and her boyfriend,
Troy, were already there, along with my mother’s boyfriend, Abe. She
started dating him right after I had Leah, so she called him PaPa. Abe
adored her and Leah definitely didn’t play about her PaPa.
“Happy Birthday!” Everyone yelled.
“Look what I made for you, Mommy!” Leah excitedly handed me a
hand drawn card that she made at preschool along with a bag of Starbursts.
I giggled at the gesture because I had a pack of edibles that tasted like
Starbursts, and she knew it was my adult candy. This was too sweet.
“Aww, thank you, LeLe. I love it.” I kissed my daughter and made
my way further inside.
“Happy Birthday, Sweetheart,” Abe said, giving me a hug and an
envelope. My father died when we were teenagers, so when our mother
started dating again, we didn’t take to any of the men. Abe came in and
changed all of that because, even though we were adults when he came into
the picture, he treated us like his own daughters.
“Thank you, Abe.”
“Here you go, sis’. Your sister picked it out if you don’t like it.” I
laughed at Troy because my sister would pick some shit out that she knew I
wouldn’t like so she could keep it, only for her to go and get me what I
really wanted. It was crazy, but that was our thing. I opened the gift bag,
and it was a new Marc Jacobs bag.
“Oh, you’re not getting this back, so I hope you got your own.”
“Stop acting like you know me, but for your information, I do have
my own.” She stuck out her tongue.
My mother was the last one to give me my gift. I opened her box,
and it was a pair of birthstone earrings along with a gift set from Bath &
Body Works. I thanked everyone, then we got up to eat. The conversation
was flowing, and that’s when I remembered about the party.
“Mesha, Rah invited me out this weekend. She said it was a party
for her cousin, but she could put us on the list. Everything is already
covered. We just need to show up,” I explained.
“Say less. Troy already knew that I would be with you this weekend.
Who knows, you might have a replay of the night of your twenty-fourth
birthday.” She smirked.
“I hope not,” I groaned.
My mother gave me a look that silently said that I better not. She
knew all about Khaotic and that whole situation. It wasn’t a day that I didn’t
think about Khaotic, and where he was. I know it was just a one-night
stand, but he didn’t have the kind of dick that you forget about that easily.
“Go enjoy yourself, Tori, but now too much. You know I’ll watch
LeLe,” my mother confirmed.
After that was settled, we continued to eat before I left to go home.
Leah had to get into bed, and it was already past her bedtime. Once I got
her together, I smoked half a blunt and got my ass in the bed, too, with
thoughts of Khaotic on my brain as usual.

∞∞∞
It seemed like déjà vu when we pulled up to Club Captions. The line
was wrapped around the building with people waiting to get inside. Me and
Mesha skipped the line like we always did only difference this time was
that we were on the VIP list and only had to give the bouncer our names. I
texted Rasheeda right after we pulled up, so when we walked in; she was at
the door waiting on us.
“Hey y’all,” she greeted me and Mesha. “Damn, bitch. You look like
you’re looking for a new baby daddy,” she joked.
“Chy, boo. I’on want the one I got, so please don’t curse me like
that.” She laughed before turning around and heading toward the stairs.
When we got to the top, it was bottles and sparkles everywhere. Everyone
was turnt and seemed to be having a good time.
“Let me introduce you to my cousin, Joni. I told him I invited some
friends, but of course he needed to see who you were. He doesn’t trust too
easily, but you know how that goes.” We nodded in unison as we followed
her toward a tall guy. From the back, I could tell this nigga was fine just by
the way he stood.
“Joni,” she called out. When he turned around at the sound of his
name, my eyes stretched, and my heart dropped to my ass. This couldn’t be
who I thought it was, but when he opened his mouth to speak, I knew it was
him.
“Tori, this is my cousin, Joni,” she introduced us.
“Joni, this is—”
“Tori,” He cut her off with a smirk on his face.
What the hell?

 Chapter Two
Khaotic
It felt good to be on the other side of these grimy ass walls. The past
five years couldn’t have gone by fast enough. I was finally free, and I was
going to enjoy every minute of it. For some reason, Tori crossed my mind.
That one night I shared with her had an impact on me that I didn’t think was
possible. I regret not getting her number, so I could tell her what was up.
The city wasn’t that big to where I couldn’t find little ass. I was even
willing to pop up at her crib in hopes that she still stayed there.
“Are we going to hook up now that you’re free?” This C.O. named
Melissa asked as she escorted me to the front. She had just started when I
got here, so I made sure I had first dibs on that pussy before any of these
other niggas. She held a nigga down while on the inside, so I might check
her out on the outside.
“We’ll see, shorty,” I replied as she unlocked the door.
“I hope so. I’m going to miss you, baby,” she cooed.
Smirking, I winked my eye at her before I walked out of the
building. As soon as I crossed over the gate to my freedom, I saw my little
brother Tae leaning against a yellow Porsche Cayman. This nigga was still
flashy as fuck.
“They let a real nigga out,” he shouted as I got closer to him. Once I
was within reach, he pulled me into a brotherly hug.
“I missed you, nigga,” he voiced.
“I missed you too, lil’ nigga. Let’s get the fuck from around here,
though. I gave these muthafuckas enough of my time already.”
There was no need to say anything else. He hopped in the driver’s
seat and took off onto the highway. He already had a blunt rolled and sitting
in the ashtray. Picking it up, he lit the end and passed to me.
 “How about you drive like you got some sense. I’on wanna make a
U-turn back to that muthafucka,” I warned. He gave me a look, but knew he
couldn’t beat my ass.
“Man, I got you.” he waved me off.
“So, what’s been going on? Everything straight?”
When I went in, I turned everything over to my brother. I left him in
charge of the club and my illegal operations. He was already my right hand
and the only nigga I trusted, so it was only right.
“Yeah, everything straight. All your money put up, along with what
you accumulated over the years. Rah looked over that shit. I copped you a
new whip, so say thank you, nigga. I almost told Rah to take that shit back
because you a picky ass nigga and I ain’t got time to be listening to your
mouth.”
He took the blunt from me and continued to head to my house.
“Nigga, it was probably my fucking money in the first place, so the
fuck I got to thank you for?”
“That’s besides the point. It’s one less thing that you have to do.”
When we pulled up to my spot, I saw a pearl white Jeep Grand
Wagoneer with the black top and matching black rims parked in the
driveway with a big ass black bow on it.
“Nigga, you really put a bow on my shit?” I laughed.
“Hell yeah. It’s a welcome home and thank you gift,” he stated. I
knew what he was thanking me for, and it wasn’t no need.
We got out his car and headed straight inside. GiGi and Ma Pat were
already in the living room waiting. Ma Pat hopped up first and threw her
arms around me.
“I missed you, boy.” She hugged me tightly.
“I missed you too, Ma.”
Letting her go, I went and sat by my GiGi, throwing my arm around
her and pressing my lips against her cheek.
“Wassup, ol’ girl?” I grinned because I knew she was about to get in
my ass.
 “I got your old and get your crusty ass lips from off of me. I don’t
know where your lips have been over the last five years and I don’t need
you bringing me no shit back,” she fussed as Ma Pat and Tae laughed.
“Chill, GiGi. My lips ain’t been nowhere but on my face.” I leaned
in and kissed her again. “Where’s Rah?”
“She’s still at work, but trust she’s been asking have you gotten here
yet for the past two hours,” Ma Pat informed.
“I bet she has. I need to take a shower so I can hit this barbershop,
though. I know people are going to be popping up all day and I don’t need
to be looking like I just got out of prison.”
“Nigga, you did just get out of prison,” Tae voiced with a frown.
“That don’t mean I want to look like it.”
He waved his hand at me like he was dismissing me or some shit. I
know between him and Rah I would have something to come home to, but I
plan on going shopping for some more shit later on.
Going up to my room, I went through the bags that I found on the
bed and pulled out a fresh pair of Ralph Lauren boxers, a white tank top and
some boxers. It was late March, so the weather was still cool. Thankfully,
these fools got me a few sweatsuits, and I opted to wear the light blue Nike
Tech sweatsuit with the navy trim. I paired it with a pair of Carolina blue
Jordan 3s that dropped last month. After laying out my outfit, I trekked to
the bathroom that was inside the room. I brought this house about two years
before I got locked up and moved GiGi in with me. She was getting up in
age and didn’t need to be living alone. Even though I went to prison, she
was here the majority of the time by herself. I was just more comfortable
knowing she was here. The house had two master bedrooms. I got the one
upstairs while GiGi stayed in the one downstairs. She didn’t need to be
climbing up and down no stairs at her age. Once I finished with my
hygiene, I got dressed and looked in the top drawer where Tae had my
wallet put up. There was a knot of money sitting beside it and I grabbed
that, too. When I got back downstairs, everyone was still where I left them.
“I’m ready,” I announced, looking at Tae.
“The fuck you telling me for?” he snarled.
 “Jontae! What your gah damn mouth in my house, boy,” GiGi
fussed.
“GiGi, you just cursed though,” he countered.
“This is my gah down house and I can curse in it if I want,” she
sassed.
“It’s Joni’s house though.” He smirked.
“Man, you might as well give that up. And what you mean why I’m
telling you? You’re taking me to do what I got to do, lil’ nigga.”
“Do I look like that nigga Morgan Freeman to you?”
“You do around the eyes a little bit. That nigga might be your daddy.
You know how Kat gets down.” That caused him to laugh right along with
me.
“You ain’t shit fo—Ow!” Before he knew it, GiGi launched the
remote at his ass.
“Watch your damn mouth, boy!” she fussed.
“Man, come on before I call them people on GiGi. We’re taking
your truck, too.” Laughing, I followed my little brother out the door and to
my new whip. He knew I had a thing for big shit, so I wasn’t surprised to
see this was the whip he picked out for me.
“Where to first, sir?” he asked sarcastically.
“Take me to the barbershop, simple ass nigga. After that, I need to
go shopping and get a new phone.” He nodded in confirmation.
We rode to the barbershop listening to whatever song was the latest
and him catching me up on shit we couldn’t talk about over the phone.
When we pulled up to the barbershop, I was glad to see that it wasn’t
packed. I walked right in and up to my barber, Mo. This nigga has been
cutting my hair since we were jits.
“Oh shit! They finally freed a real one.” He slapped hands with me
and pulled me into a brotherly hug before I took a seat in his chair.
“I was expecting you to come out with your shit hanging down your
back,” he mentioned.
“Hell nah. They had a decent barber on the inside, so I let that nigga
cut my shit about once a month. I learned to braid my shit myself because I
drew the line at another nigga braiding my hair. I let the sides grow out so
you can get me right, though,” I confessed, as he secured the cape around
my neck.
“So, what’s the plan now that you’re out? We partying?” he asked as
he cut my hair.
“You know it. My people having something at Captions on Saturday
night. Pull up and chill with your boy.”
Tae and Rah hooked me up with a welcome home party, and I was
all for it. I needed to have one night of partying before I got back into grind
mode. I got five years to make up for. We chopped it up with Mo and the
other barbers for a few before we left. I still needed to go to the mall and
catch AT&T before they closed.
Two hours later, I’d spent close to five bands, but it was worth it. I
had a few new pieces in my wardrobe and a new phone. The only new piece
of jewelry I brought was a watch. That was my guilty pleasure. I loved a
nice watch piece. My jewelry I had before I got locked up was damn near
new, so all I needed to do was have it cleaned. I was hungry as hell, but it
would be pointless to find some food because I knew GiGi was cooking,
and I couldn’t wait to smash that shit.
When we pulled up to the house, it was two new cars parked in the
driveway that weren’t there when we left. Even though I was gone, this was
still my house, and I didn’t like a lot of people at my shit.
“Aye, who that?” I asked my brother.
“Rah and Kat,” he replied. I should’ve known that Kat would be
here sooner than later.
We got out, and I grabbed my bags before I followed Tae inside. As
soon as I crossed the threshold, Rah jumped her big ass into my arms.
“Joni!” she squealed, hugging my neck tight. I had to drop my bags
in order to hug her back. My cousin was my baby, and she knew it, too. I’d
bust any nigga or bitch in the face about her, too.
“I missed your big-headed ass too, Rah.” I laughed.
“Ma, chill. You doing too much.” I snapped my head to the side to
see where that raspy voice came from.
 “Damn, AJ. When your nuts dropped, lil’ nigga?” I limited my calls
with them because I couldn’t handle the shit, so the change in his voice
surprised the fuck out of me. I pulled Rasheeda’s son Ajontae into my
embrace. This little nigga was like the son I never had. His pops was in
prison for murder, serving a twenty-year bid. He’s been there since he’s
been two. She named him after me and Tae, so we both took a hand in
helping her raise him, with me doing most of the work. Because of that, he
called me ‘Pops’.
“Stop hating, Pops. The girls love it.” His bad ass smirked.
I looked down at him and realized he wasn’t the same little kid that I
left behind five years ago.
“Remind me to holla at you later.”
“No need. Tae already did.” I looked between him and Tae before
shaking my head.
“Nah, forget whatever that nigga told you,” I joked.
“Nigga, don’t try to play me. Nephew straight. Ain’t that right,
nephew?” Before he could respond, Kat emerged from the other side of the
house.
“Hey, Joni. Look at you; done got all big and shit.” She smirked as
she came my way and wrapped her arms around me.
“Wassup, Kat?” I kissed the top of her head. Like I said before, I
didn’t hate Kat. I just had my boundaries with her. Tae, on the other had
couldn’t stand her ass.
“Nigga, go brush your teeth. No telling who done nut on that bitch,”
Tae snarled.
“Jontae!” GiGi yelled.
“My bad, GiGi. But I ain’t lying.” he shrugged.
“It’s okay, mama. I’m not thinking about Tae’s ass,” Kat spat.
“We know.”
“How about y’all cut all that out. This is Joni’s first day back home,
and the two of you are not about to ruin my brother’s day.” Rasheeda
fussed.
 The two of them were always going at it, but Rah was right. I didn’t
want to hear that shit today.
After the two of them settled down, we settled down and ate dinner
as a family. It felt good being with my people again. Once I got my time in
with them, I would be celebrating with the homies over the weekend.

∞∞∞
The crowd was packed like I was a celebrity or some shit. Word had
gotten around that I was home, so as we made our way through the crowd
and to our section, people were stopping to speak and let me know that they
were glad that I was finally home. I wasn’t in my reserved section before
my ex, Pria, sniffed me out and popped her ass up.
“Oh, baby. I mi—”
“Aye, watch out.” I cut her off and stuck my arm out to stop her
from hugging me.
“Oh, you acting funny now?”
I looked at this bitch like she was stupid. I wasn’t locked up yet
before she ghosted a nigga. She left a nigga high, but I wasn’t dry. She
could still suck my dick, though. Before I could respond, I heard Rah’s
voice call out to me.
“Joni,” she called out.
When I turned around, I knew my eyes had to be playing tricks on
me. I let my eyes scan over Tori’s thick ass frame and the years have
definitely done her body better than any milk ever could.
“Tori, this is my cousin, Joni,” she introduced us.
“Joni, this is—”
“Tori,” I cut her off with a smirk.
Shorty just made my night and didn’t even know it.

 Chapter Three
Khatori
I thought I was seeing shit when I saw Khaotic. Rasheeda always
talked about her cousin, but she always called him Ajoni or Joni. Who
would’ve thought that her cousin was my one-night stand and possible baby
daddy. I stood stuck in the same spot until I heard that sexy ass timbre of his
call out my name.
“Tori?” he called out.
“Uh, yeah. Hey,” I stammered.
“Wait. Y’all two know each other?” Rasheeda asked.
“Something like that.” He let his eyes roam over my body and all of
a sudden, I felt self-conscious. “Wassup, Mesha?” He spoke to my sister.
“Yeah, I need all this tea,” Rasheeda voice.
“Uh, hmm,” we heard from behind him. There was a pretty
chocolate girl standing behind him who seemed to be agitated by our
presence. He looked behind him before turning his attention back to us.
“Joni, what the fuck this bitch doing here?” Rasheeda asked.
“Nothing,” he responded to Rasheeda before turning back to me.
“Tori, you gon’ kick it with your boy tonight?” he asked, ignoring ol’ girl.
“Uhm, you do see me right here, right?” She shoved him when she
said that, and he turned around with the quickness. Rasheeda almost fell,
trying to get between the two of them.
“Uh uh. Nope. You just got home, and you will not go back for this
nothing ass bitch.” She turned to face the girl and said, “but I’ll beat this
hoe’s wig loose. Get the fuck on Pria. Now is not the time,” Rasheeda
warned.
“This ain’t got sh—”
 “Aye, Pria! Get your banana ass head on, bro, for real. You ain’t as
much as asked how my brother was doing the last five years, so don’t come
up here tryna pull rank when it ain’t none.”
A guy who looked a lot like Khaotic, but had dreads, came up and
spoke to this Pria girl. At this point, I was ready to go because I was
experiencing too many emotions at once.
Pria looked between everybody and tucked her tail and left. When
she was gone, Khaotic gave me his attention.
“So, what you been up to?” He asked.
“Uhm, nothing much. I’ve been working and just living,” I
responded.
I always said I would tell him about Leah if I ever saw him again,
but in the middle of a crowded club wasn’t the time or place.
“Shit, it looks like you looked good doing the shit, too,” he
admitted, licking his lips as he let his eyes travel over my body.
The years seem to have done his body good as well. He looked like
he picked up a few pounds his self, but of course it was all muscle.
“If I recall, this is your birthday weekend, right?”
I smiled at the fact that he remembered.
“It is. Number twenty-nine.”
“Well, how about we celebrate like we did the last time we saw each
other. You cool with that?” He was now so close to me that I could smell
the weed and alcohol on his breath mixed in with the sweet scent of mint.
“Uh, yeah. Sure. We can do that,” I agreed.
After introducing me and Mesha to his brother, Tae, we all sat down
and started enjoying ourselves. Tae kept the drinks coming, and they had a
blunt in rotation while me, Mesha, and Rasheeda had our own. The vibe
was definitely like the last time. The song switched from Nipsey Hussle’s
‘Dedication’ to GloRilla’s ‘Wanna Be Remix’ and it was time to shine. I
never hesitated to show my inner ratchet any time that I went out.
I stood up and started popping my ass to the beat while I was
rapping the lyrics. Mesha and Rasheeda joined me, all while hyping me up.
I was too in my zone to realize that I had an admirer watching me. When I
noticed Khaotic watching me, I turned it up a notch.
Get ‘em Glo (Ayy)
Get ‘em Glo (Huh)
Get ‘em Glo (Woo)
Get ‘em Glo (Hey)
Get ‘em Glo (Huh)
Get ‘em Glo (Woo, yeah)
I continued dancing to the song until it ended. Like always, I
worked up a thirst. Going back to our seats, Khaotic caught me off guard by
pulling me into his lap, holding me in place with his muscular arm, then
kissing my exposed shoulder.
“You ’bout ready to go?” he asked as he let his free hand caress my
arm as he whispered into my ear. The gravelly sound of his voice sent chills
down my spine and directly to my pussy.
“I thought this was your welcome home party? You’re ready to
leave already?” I questioned.
“Fuck this party. I’ve been dreaming about this pussy for the past
five years. I’m ready to make all that shit a reality,” he confirmed, gripping
my thigh.
It wasn’t like he was a stranger. When I looked over at my sister and
Rasheeda, they both had dumb smirks on their faces, like they knew what I
was about to say to them. Before I could even open my mouth, Mesha
opened hers.
“I already know, hoe. Be careful.” She raised her brow, and I knew
exactly what she was talking about. I heard Khaotic tell his brother and a
few other guys that he was leaving. I heard one comment that he didn’t
waste any time, and he laughed it off. After telling my sister and friend I
was leaving, Khaotic escorted me down the stairs and we ran right into the
last person I expected to see.
“Really, Tori?” JaVon spewed when he saw me and Khaotic leaving
together.
“JaVon, please get the fuck out my face,” I snapped.
 “Damn, cuz. This you?” I whipped my head in Khaotic’s direction
when I heard Khaotic refer to JaVon as ‘cuz’.
“Cuz? Y’all cousins?” I asked.
“Yeah, this my cousin. You hoeing like that now?” JaVon spewed.
“Aye, nigga. Kill all that.” Khaotic snapped before looking at me.
“This yo’ nigga?” he asked me.
“Hell no!” I damn near screamed. My face was balled up so tight I
probably had a million wrinkles in it.
“Bet.” He moved around JaVon without a second thought. I was
glad the conversation didn’t go any further because I didn’t want to have
that conversation at the club. I’d tell him when we got to the hotel.
“How is JaVon your cousin?” I asked once we got into his car.
“Our moms are first cousins. He spent most of his time with his
pops people. Nigga act like we close or some shit for me to go broadcasting
that we family,” he stated.
“Oh,” I responding, not really knowing what else to say because I
was trying to figure out how the fuck I ended up having cousins as possible
baby daddies.
The rest of the ride was silent, outside of the music blasting through
the radio. When we got into the room, I’d tell him then.

∞∞∞
“Shit, Khaotic!” I moaned loudly as Khaotic delivered deathly back
shots that I’d gladly die for. I didn’t even get a chance to talk to him about
Leah because no sooner than we crossed the threshold, he had his face in
between my thighs, sucking on my pussy like it was his last meal.
Slap!
“Keep throwing that shit back just like that, ma. Shit,” he groaned.
“Just. Like. That.”
He continued to pound into me as another orgasm ripped through
my body. He didn’t even give me a chance to come down from it before he
was lapping my juices up. He pulled another orgasm out of me just that fast
with his mouth before I collapsed on my stomach. He wasted no time
flipping me over onto my back and slipping back inside of me.
“Fuck, Tori. I missed this pussy, ma. Shit,” he groaned into my neck.
We shared the same sentiments because I only had the dick once and I
missed it too.
He peppered kisses along my jawline before slipping his tongue into
my mouth. While he ran one hand through my hair, lightly gripping it, his
other cradled my leg into his other one as he slowly ground his hips into
me, quickly drawing another orgasm from me.
“Khaotic,” I whimpered into his mouth.
“Damn, this pussy gripping, ma. Fuck!”
He kissed me roughly as he started to vehemently pound into me. I
thought back to the first time we had sex, and figured it was that good
because he was going to jail, but shit. He just got home and the shit still
hitting the same. I can definitely see myself being a repeat offender.
“Mmm, fuck!” he groaned into my neck as I felt his dick jump
inside of me.
I experienced my orgasm at the same time, but the way his dick was
piercing my insides, I couldn’t vocally express how I was feeling. I couldn’t
even move because that last orgasm left me immobile.
“I know you not tryna tap out on me already, ma?”
He smirked as he lifted his body off of me and slid himself out of
me.
“Shit, I want to say yeah, but the way you’re looking at me, I can
tell that you’re not done with me yet.”
“You’re absolutely correct. Come, take a shower with me.”
Once he lifted off of the bed, he pulled me up and carried me to the
bathroom, feeling me up along the way. When we got inside, he placed me
on my feet while he got the shower ready. After letting the water get to the
desired temperature, he brought me inside of the shower with him, where he
washed me up before he fucked me long and hard against the shower wall. I
lost count of how many times that man had me cumming. When he was
finally finished with me, we washed up for real before getting into the bed.
I woke up the next morning and he was already gone. I was pissed at myself
that I didn’t get a chance to tell him about Leah. I’d just ask Rasheeda for
his number so that we could talk about it later.
As I was getting dressed, my phone dinged, letting me know I had a
notification. When I picked it up, a smile crept on my face.
(555) 859-5769: Good morning, ma. I ain’t mean to dip out on you and
shit, but I had some shit to handle. Can I get up with you out later?
I blushed at the fact that he still wanted to spend time with me, even
though our initial encounter was a one-night stand. If we were alone and
there wasn’t a bed in sight, then I could tell him about Leah. That alone was
my deciding factor.
Me: Sure. I’d love that.
(555) 859-5769: Bet. I’ll hit you up later.
Me: Ok.
I put my phone away and finished getting dressed. I would call
Mesha on my way home so that she could come to the house so we could
talk about this. I just hope when I tell him, he won’t act like an ass. I just
need to tell him first to find out.

 Chapter Four
Khaotic
As bad as I wanted to wake Tori up to this dick, I needed to get my
ass home. I had some shit to take care of and I needed to get it out of the
way, especially since I planned on seeing Tori later. She just didn’t know it
yet, so I hope she didn’t have any plans. When I got home, I went straight
to my room to shower so I can get a few hours of sleep before the
commotion started. The house was quiet since it was only five in the
morning. I went straight to the room and hit the shower. While I was in
there, I had visions of Tori’s fine ass. Her umber colored skin tasted just as
good as it looked. Even though I only had the pussy once and it was five
years ago, I still remembered every detail of it and that muthafucka was still
fat and tight as hell. I definitely was going to push up on her ass again.
Once I was satisfied with my hygiene. I got out, brushed my teeth,
dressed and got in the bed. I only needed a few hours because I knew my
grandma or Rah’s ass wouldn’t let me sleep longer than that, anyway.
When I woke up, Rah and Ma Pat were here helping GiGi cleanup
for the day.
“Good morning, people.” I walked into the kitchen and kissed my
grandmother on her temple and did the same to Rasheeda and Ma Pat.
When I looked at her, she had a smirk on her face.
“Don’t start yo’ shit, Rah,” I warned as I went into the refrigerator
and pulled out a carton of juice.
“I ain’t starting, but what time did you get in last night?” she
quizzed.
“At my grown ass business,” I countered.
“Your grown ass is my business, especially when you’ve been with
my friend.”
 “I know neither one of y’all grown asses better not curse in my gah
damn house again, or you’ll be collecting your grown ass teeth off the
floor,” GiGi fussed.
“My bad, Gee.” I smirked.
“Joni, you already found somebody?” Ma Pat asked.
“Not really. I met this girl before I went in. She just so happens to be
friends with Rah, which works out perfectly for me.” I smirked.
“Joni, I’m serious. Don’t go messing with Tori if you’re not serious.
She already has a stupid ass baby daddy. Don’t go messing with my friend,”
Rah warned again. Before she could finish her sentence good, GiGi had
popped her upside the head.
“Ow, GiGi.” Rah frowned.
“I told you to watch your mouth.” She rolled her eyes and continued
mixing her batter.
“Wassup, Pops?” AJ came into the kitchen, looking like GiGi
already had his little ass strung out.
“Wassup, lil’ nigga? Why you coming in here looking like a
runaway slave?” I joked.
“GiGi had me cut the grass. I’m squaring up with Tae as soon as I
see him because he was supposed to help me.” AJ frowned at the fact that
he had to do the shit by his self. My yard was huge as fuck, so I knew he
was tired.
“Aye, check it. I’ll come help you in a minute. Take fifteen and meet
me outside.”
I dapped him up and turned my attention back to Rasheeda. “Sis, let
me get Tori’s number?” I smirked.
She looked at me sideways, but I saw the smile that she was fighting
hard to suppress.
“Look, I’m going to give you her number, but if you fuck it up, I’m
going to tell her you stole it out my phone,” she declared.
“I’m offended that you have lil’ faith in me.” I frowned. “But let me
get that so I can hit my lil’ baby up.”
 I smirked when she rolled her eyes, but handed her phone over. I
quickly saved her number as ‘My Lil’ Baby’ and gave Rasheeda her phone
back. Once I had her number stored, I sent her quick text.
Me: Good morning, ma. I ain’t mean to dip out on you and shit,
but I had some shit to handle. Can I take you out later?
I don’t know if she was up or not, but I wanted her to see my
message. I may have left her alone, but I wanted her to know that she was
still on my mind.
My Lil’ Baby: Sure. I’d love that.
Smirking, I responded…
Me: Bet. I’ll hit you up later.
My Lil’ Baby: Ok.
Satisfied with her response, I placed my phone on the counter and
went outside to help AJ with the yard. For the most part, he was done with
the front. I just had to trim up the hedges and make sure that the grass that
was visible in the backyard was trimmed. I had an in-ground pool and
basketball court out back, so there wasn’t much grass left, especially since
GiGi had her flowers and a small garden out here.
It didn’t take any time to finish the yard because I wasn’t trying to
be out here all day in this fucking sun. It was still kind of cool since it was
late March, but that didn’t stop the sun from beating down on a muthafucka.
When we were done, AJ wanted to shoot some hoops, so I got his ass on the
court and decided to talk to him while I had him out here.
“So, wassup? What you been up to while I’ve been gone?” I asked
as I took a shot into the basket.
He shrugged. “Nothing much. Ma acting like I’m some lil’ ass boy,”
he complained, causing me to chuckle.
“She’s just doing what mamas do. Your grandma and Gee were the
same way with me and Tae. If she didn’t give a fuck, then you would have a
reason to be complaining.”
I watched as he took a shot in the hoop and make it. He didn’t
realize how good he had it. Me and Tae didn’t have any uncles to come and
tell us shit about how to be men. We found out that shit from the streets and
experience. Shit, we didn’t even have a mama that gave a fuck enough to
fuss at us about dumb shit. She was too busy chasing the next dick.
“She keeps trying to ask me if I’m having sex. I’m not talking to her
about that shit.” He frowned his face at the thought.
“I feel you, but why you ain’t ask me when I talked to you? If you
ain’t want to talk about it verbally, you could’ve written it in a letter,” I
expressed.
“Tae had already talked to me after Ma told him after I called myself
having a little girlfriend,” he mocked Rah’s voice, causing me to laugh out
loud.
“That sounds just like her ass, too. You know I love my brother, but
what the fuck did that ignorant ass nigga tell you?” Tae wasn’t exactly role
model material, but he loved AJ just as much as I did, so he was just as
involved as I was.
“He brought me a box of condoms and told me to always use them.”
He shrugged.
See, this was exactly what I was talking about.
“At least he did that. Do you need ’em, though?” I asked.
He looked down like he was embarrassed or some shit.
“Look at me when I talk to you,” I stated sternly.
“Man, Pops. I’on need them shits. I ain’t even fucking for real,” he
explained.
“What you mean by for real?”
“It means I ain’t had sex, but I got head a few times.” He smirked.
I passed the ball hard as hell at his lil’ ass.
“Nigga, that’s still sex. Who the fuck sucking yo’ lil’ ass dick,
anyway?” I laughed. “I can’t say too much because I was once thirteen, but
you need to make sure you use them rubbers Tae got you. Even if you’re
just getting your dick sucked. If she’s sucking your dick and she’s not your
girl, then no telling how many other niggas been shoving their dicks down
her throat. Always strap the fuck up because I’m too young to be
somebody’s granddaddy.” I smirked.
“I got you, Pops.”
 I stayed outside with AJ until GiGi came to the door yelling for me
to bring my black inside and get this hussy. I started laughing because I
know her and Rah were in there fussing like they always were. When I
walked in the house, I didn’t expect to see Rasheeda in the living room with
her forearm up against Pria’s neck.
“Rasheeda, let that girl go,” Ma Pat demanded, but that shit fell on
deaf ears.
“Joni, why the fuck is this bitch popping up here like she got rights.
Say the word, and I’ll snap this hoe’s neck right here and you can get the
carpet cleaned later,” she ranted as soon as she saw me.
Chuckling, I shook my head before walking up to them.
“The fuck you doing here, Pria?”
I didn’t even bother with telling Rasheeda to let up because
depending on what she said, depended on whether I would be her saving
grace or not.
“I-I came to t-talk to y-you,” she struggled to say.
I looked at Rasheeda before looking back at Pria.
“Let her go, Rah. I got it.”
She looked at me like she wanted to protest, but she eventually let
her go, but not before mushing her head into the wall.
“Ma, you petty.” AJ laughed.
I looked at Pria and nodded my head toward the door.
“We can’t go upstairs and talk?” she pouted.
“Nah, we can’t. We can either go outside or you can get the fuck
on.” I stared at her to let her know that I wasn’t up for the bullshit today and
she eventually walked her ass outside to her car. I went to the passenger
side to get in while she looked at me like I was crazy.
“What?” I asked already annoyed.
“You not going to open the door for me?”
“Fuck no! We can stand out this bitch if you want, but whatever it is,
it needs to be now and quick. I ain’t got all day.” I grimaced.
Taking heed to what I said, she leaned against the car door and
started fidgeting with her damn hands and shit. I wasn’t about to stand here
and play the quiet game with her ass. I would leave her stupid ass right out
here and gone on about my business.
“Bro, you got half a fucking second to start talking,” I warned.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“No, you’re not. You just thought I would let the shit slide. If you
couldn’t hold me down for the five years, that’s all you had to say. Instead,
you dip on a nigga before I even turned myself in. You couldn’t even see a
nigga off.” I was getting mad all over again, thinking about the way Pria
had ghosted my ass. No warning or nothing, just up and fucking left. That’s
how I ended up fucking Tori that night. I was freshly single, and I needed
some pussy before I went in. Pria didn’t even as much wrote me or
answered my letters or calls. I tried for six months to reach out to her ass
and all my attempts we null and void. She said fuck me then, so it’s fuck
her now.
“I was scared, Joni.” By now she was sobbing, but her tears didn’t
phase me one bit.
“Scared of what, Pria? It wasn’t like I did some shit for a
muthafucka to retaliate or some shit. So what the fuck could you have been
scared of?” I stood in front of her with my hands stuffed down my shorts. I
was uninterested in this conversation, and it just started.
“I was pregnant,” she mumbled.
Squinting, I cocked my head to the side. I tried to decipher whether I
heard this bitch correctly or not.
“Come again?” I looked at her like she was crazy because I know
she wasn’t trying to tell me what I thought she was trying to say. Ain’t no
fucking way. She looked at me with tears streaming down her face, but I
didn’t care about that shit. I needed her to fucking speak her peace before I
broke my foot off in her ass.
“I said I was pregnant,” she cried.
“Was?”
Did this bitch just say was? Like in the past? Like no fucking longer
present?
When she didn’t answer, that pissed me off.
 “What the fuck do you mean by was, Pria? The fuck did you to my
seed!” I barked.
Crying harder, she said, “I got an abortion,” she sobbed.
I couldn’t believe I was hearing this shit. Granted, I got locked up,
but she knew my kid would’ve been taken care of. Hell, I still took care of
AJ from prison, and he was my fucking nephew. Before I could stop
myself, I had my hand wrapped around Pria’s throat and her hemmed up
against the car.
“Bitch, are you fucking stupid!” I roared. I didn’t even care that spit
was flying out my mouth. Fuck this bitch.
“I-I’m sorry,” she choked out.
I didn’t care about that shit. I was about to kill this bitch just like she
killed my kid. Had my grandma and Ma Pat not come outside, I would
have.
“Ajoni, let this damn girl go. I pretty sure she deserves it, but you
know better,” Ma Pat fussed, pulling on my arm. I gave Pria one last
menacing look before I banged her head against the car and let her go. Her
dramatic ass slid down like she was in one of those damn drama shows. I
left her stupid ass out there and went inside. As soon as I made it inside, my
grandma slapped the shit out of me.
“That was for putting your hands on that damn girl. Now tell me
why you did it.” She stood her short ass in front of me with her hands on
her hips waiting for an explanation.
“She told me she was pregnant before I went to prison but got an
abortion,” I confessed.
“Oh, hell no!” Rasheeda shrieked as she came back into the room.
“I know she didn’t,” Ma Pat clamored.
“Apparently she did,” I huffed, going straight to the wet bar that I
had on the other side of the kitchen. I needed a drink after hearing that shit.
I couldn’t believe that bitch could be that fucking selfish to kill my seed and
not say shit. Hell, if she didn’t want it, I would’ve had Rah get the baby
until I got home. That bitch was dead to me, and it was no telling what I’d
do to her the next time I saw her ass.

 Chapter Five
Khatori
By the time I made it home from the hotel, I had enough time to go
and shower before Mesha got here. I quickly cleansed my body as visions
of Khaotic invaded my thoughts. It should be a crime in the way that man
ravished my body. I was still a lil’ sore, but I’d gladly take it. Once I was
satisfied with my hygiene, I wrapped my body in a towel and went inside of
my room. When I walked out of the bathroom, Mesha was sitting on my
bed waiting for me.
“Shit!” I shrieked. “Damn it, Mesha. You scared the fuck out of me.
Why you sitting in here like a creep for, anyway?” I asked as I went to the
dresser and pulled out some shorts and a tank top. We were sisters, so I
didn’t need to hide from her. Hell, we came from the same coochie. She just
happened to come out first.
“Bitch, didn’t you tell me to meet you here? The dick was that good
it got you forgetting shit?” she joked.
“Very funny, bitch. But to answer your question, yes, it is that
good.” I shot her a playful smirk.
“Spill it, bitch. Did you tell him about Leah? What did he say? Was
he mad?” she rambled off question after question, not even giving me time
to answer one before she rambled off another one.
“Damn, slow down.” I frowned. “He didn’t say anything about Leah
because I haven’t told him yet. Before you start, it’s not that I didn’t want
to. No sooner than we crossed the threshold he stuffed me with dick and
was gone when I woke up,” I clarified because I knew she was getting
ready to start her shit.
“So, when are you going to tell him, Tori. You don’t want him to
think you were playing him all this time. You know how niggas are when
you hide babies and shit. They can hide a whole bitch and a baby, but God
forbid if you did it. I’on know him like that, but I will tase his ass before I
beat it if he got stupid with you.” I couldn’t do shit but laugh at my sister
because she was dead ass serious.
“I’m going to tell him when we go on our date. He texted me after
he left, so I’m sure he got my number from Rah. He asked me out, and I
agreed. I’ll tell him then. I’m just waiting for the details. But bitch. That
ain’t the kicker,” I mentioned.
“What bitch? He forgot how to fuck?” she asked.
Fanning myself, I said, “Bitch no. That’s definitely not the case.” I
smirked. “But why are him and JaVon second cousins,” I revealed, and my
sister’s jaw almost hit the floor.
“I know you fuckin’ lying!”
“Nope. JaVon saw us when we were leaving and Khaotic addressed
him as ‘cuz’. I asked him about it, and he let me know their moms are first
cousins. Their grandmothers are sisters.”
It was silence between the two of us for a few seconds. I knew my
sister, so I knew she was trying to process all of this.
“Tori, this is crazy and could get messy. I would hate to beat both of
them niggas the fuck up for playing with my niece. Leah Grace is innocent,
and she will remain innocent,” she stated.
“Oh, that’s not even an issue. JaVon already knows not to play with
me when it comes to my baby and Khaotic will find out.” I was dead
serious. I would kill both them niggas if I had to when it came to my baby.
“Okay. Just be careful,” she warned. “So, when is this date?” she
asked. As soon as the question rolled off of her tongue, Khaotic was calling.
“I guess we’re about to find out,” I said before answering.
“Hello?” I answered with a smile.
“Wassup, baby? You busy?” he asked. I could tell he was smoking
by the way his voice was strained.
“No, not really. Just sitting here talking to my sister,” I responded.
“Well, damn bitch,” she shot back.
Khaotic started laughing before he began talking again.
“You over there telling her ’bout the new dick in your life?” I could
hear the smile in his voice without even seeing his face.
 “The new dick? You getting ahead of yourself, ain’t it?”
“Don’t you get beside yourself. You don’t want to find out why they
call me Khaotic, sweetheart, so keep it cute.” His statement was firm and
final. I couldn’t say anything after that if I wanted to.
“Whatever, Khaotic.” I simpered.
“Joni,” he stated, catching me off guard.
“Huh?”
“My name…it’s Joni. I know you heard my cousin call me that.”
“Yeah, I did, but you introduced yourself as Khaotic, so that’s all I
know,” I fired back.
“Well, I just re-introduced myself so kill that Khaotic shit. Aight?”
I don’t know why but the way his voice was deep and demanding
made my pussy purr and I was ready to call him whatever he wanted me to.
“Okay, Ajoni,” I stressed.
“Good girl. Now, be ready at eight. I’ll come by and get you for our
date. Wear some sexy shit, too. I know you got a closet full of that shit. If
not, send I’ll send you something through Apple Pay.”
“You don’t have to do that. I can find something.”
“Bet. I’ll see you tonight, sweetheart.”
We hung up and when I looked up, Mesha was looking at me with a
stupid grin on her face.
“What bitch?” I smiled.
“Okay, Ajoni,” she mocked me.
“Bitch, shut up.” I laughed just as my phone dinged.
Khaotic: Sent $1000
Khaotic: I know you said you had something, but go get something
special for Daddy (smirking emoji).
I opened it and saw that Khaotic sent me a thousand dollars through
Apple Pay.
Me: Oh, it’s Daddy now? I thought you said it was Ajoni?
Khaotic: They’re all the same baby. Your actions depend on who
you get.
 Blushing, I typed my response.
Me: Whatever Ajoni (rolling eye emoji).
Khaotic: See you later (tongue emoji).
“Bitch, did you just shutter?” Mesha asked with her face frowned
up.
“Shut up and come on. Ajoni sent me money to go shopping for
something to wear tonight.”
I quickly got off of the bed and went into my closet to find
something that I could throw on so I could run to the mall right quick and
still have time to come home and take a nap. If all goes well, I could end
my night telling him about Leah and getting the dick…afterwards.

∞∞∞
After I went shopping for a new outfit for my date with Khaotic, I
came back home to get dressed. Of course, Mesha’s nosy ass stuck around.
It was cool though, because she kept my nerves at ease. While I snapped the
halter of my jumpsuit around my neck, I admired the way the jumper
looked on me. It was a halter style with a cowl neck, revealing my chest and
part of my stomach. While the top was somewhat revealing, the bottom half
was loose fitting. Well, in the legs anyway. Wasn’t nothing loose on this ass.
“What time did Khaotic say he was coming? It’s seven-thirty now,
and he hasn’t called yet for the address. You think he stood you up?” In true
Mesha fashion, she rambled on and on, causing my nerves to go haywire. I
thought to myself if this nigga did stand me up, I was going to beat them
braids out his head. Right before I answered, there was someone ringing my
doorbell.
“Who is that?” she asked.
Shrugging, I said, “Alexa, show me the front door.”
When the image popped up, it was Khaotic standing at my door with
a bouquet of white and yellow daffodils.
“He already had the address?” she asked.
“He probably got it from Rasheeda.”
 Quickly grabbing my things, I went up front so that I could open the
door. When I did, Khaotic stood before me, looking like the street
representative of GQ Magazine. His hair looked freshly braided and lined
up. He had on a green Nike Tech set with a white t-shirt that had ‘Nike’
written across the chest in green writing. He paired the outfit with a pair of
green and white Jordan 1s along with an iced out Cuban link chain with a
pendant that read ‘Khaotic’ in a graffiti print. When he smiled and showed
his grill, I just knew my thong was ruined and we wouldn’t make it through
the night.
“You gon’ stare at me all night, sweetheart, or you gon’ take these
and put ’em in some water so we can go?” His deep timbre brought me out
of my daze, and I quickly came to and gave him my attention.
“Uhm…my bad. Come in while I put these in some water.”
He handed me the flowers but not before pulling me into his firm
body and dropping a kiss on my neck. While I tried my best to keep my
composure, I was a ball of nerves. I needed to take one of my gummies
before we left.
After putting the flowers into one of my empty vases, I went back
into the living room and found him and Mesha sitting down and laughing.
“What’s so funny?” I asked as I made my way back to them.
“Nothing, sweetheart. You ready?” he asked, standing to his feet.
“Yes.” I grabbed my purse and phone. “Mesha, lock my house up
when you leave.”
“I know to lock up your house up, hoe. I would tell y’all to have
fun, but that looks like a given.” She smirked.
Khaotic laughed at her antics as he ushered me out the door and
waited for me to lock it. Once he made sure my sister was in her car, he
opened the door of his truck for me and helped me inside. After he fastened
my seatbelt, he got in and pulled off.
“How did you know where I lived?” I asked.
“I asked Rah. When she gave me the address, I realized you moved
because I had every intention of popping up on yo’ ass.” He shrugged.
“You can’t be popping up like that, Khaotic. What if I had
company?”
 He slowly turned his head to face me. He let his eyes roam my body
before they landed on my face. With a devilish smirk, he said, “You really
tryna meet that side of me, shorty?” he asked. I looked him in his face
before I conceded. I don’t know what it is about this man that makes me
naturally submit, but I did with little to no hesitation.
“I was just saying. I thought you were going to stand me up since
you didn’t call.
“The only thing you I’ll ever stand on shorty is business and in that
pussy,” was all he said.
The rest of the ride, we made idle chitchat about our day. I learned
that Rasheeda’s son called him Pops. I guess Leah would have a big brother
them.
We got to the restaurant and were seated immediately. Once the
waiter took our drink order, Khaotic started the conversation back up.
“Rah told me you had a daughter. That’s wassup. How old is she?”
he asked.
“Almost five going on twenty-five,” I laughed and so did he.
“Damn. I know she gives her pops hell,” he stated. At that moment a
lightbulb must’ve gone off in his head because his expression turned serious
real quick.
“Wait, is Von your baby daddy?” he asked.
A lump formed in my throat, and I started to fidget with the napkin
that was on the table in front of me. I saw his eyes travel from my hands
back to my face.
“Tori,” he called my name.
Taking a deep breath, I finally found my voice.
“Von is only a possibility when it comes to my daughter,” I voiced.
He looked at me with a blank expression before it finally clicked.
“Wait. So what you saying?” he quizzed.
I didn’t think this would be this hard. It’s not like I was hiding it. I
just never saw him again.
“I’m saying that my daughter could be yours, Khaotic.”
 The look on his face had me ready to leave and catch an Uber home.
I knew now that this shit was about to get real, but hopefully, it wouldn’t
get messy.

 Chapter Six
Khaotic
Did she just say that her daughter could be mine? I had to be
tripping because I know that’s not what I just heard. She had to be playing
with me right now.
“What you just say?” I asked her again to make sure I heard her
correctly.
“Listen, Khaotic. I didn’t find out I was pregnant until I was almost
three months. I thought I had the flu, so I went to Urgent Care. When I got
there, I found out I was eight weeks pregnant. I knew then that it could’ve
been between you and JaVon. We had just broken up a few days before I
met you at the club. I felt like shit because I didn’t know you from a can of
paint and I slept with you on some revenge shit. I didn’t even think about
the consequences until after the fact. I actually thought about having an
abortion, but I couldn’t do that to my baby, regardless of who her father
was. But to be clear, I never told JaVon I was pregnant, nor did I allow him
to sign her birth certificate. If we’re being completely honest, I never said
that Leah was his…he just naturally assumed.” It felt like the weight of the
world was lifted off of my shoulders once I laid it all out for Khaotic. He
probably hated me now and I couldn’t be mad if he did.
“Her name’s Leah?” he questioned.
“Yes. It’s Leah Grace.” I simpered at the thought of my daughter.
“You got a picture I can see?”
Nodding, I took my phone out of my purse before opening it and
handed it to him. I had an album dedicated just for her ever since she was
born. I watched intently as he swiped the pictures of her. The more he
looked at her, the more I could see that he would be an outstanding father if
she were his.
“She looks just like you,” he mentioned.
 “That’s my mini.” I smirked.
“Aww hell. That means I need to double up on guns because I can
see me laying everybody down behind her.” He said, all while still staring at
her picture.
“She is a handful,” I admitted.
“How active is Von in her life? I mean, if she’s mine, I don’t want or
need that nigga to do shit for my kid,” I stated. I get that he may have been
there since the birth, but he could step the fuck off when it came to mine.
“He’s around, but it’s not like he sees or gets her every day. My
mama and sister help me with her, mostly. JaVon does the bare minimum
because his sister-girlfriend is insecure about him being around me. I don’t
push the issue because I knew there was a chance he wasn’t her father.”
I nodded.
“Wait. His sister-girlfriend? What kind of shit is that?” I frowned
because if that nigga was fucking his sister, I wouldn’t let his ass around
Leah, whether she was mine or not. She’d still be family, regardless.
“We broke up because I caught his stepsister sucking his dick. I beat
her ass and told her I would every time I laid my eyes on her.” I could tell
she was pissed about the situation because her pretty ass face started to
frown up.
“Okay, that’s enough about that nigga. I ain’t tryna ruin the mood. I
would like to know more about my baby girl.” I smirked.
“We don’t know if she’s yours yet, Khaotic.”
“I thought I told you not to call me that. You wanna meet that
nigga?” I lifted my brow, waiting for her to respond.
“I already did.”
“Nah, you didn’t. You got acquainted with his dick. Them two
different things, baby. Trust me, stick with Joni and leave that nigga
Khaotic where he’s at.” I gave her a smoldering look that I could visibly see
taking effect over her.
We talked a little more during dinner with her filling me in on my
baby girl. I now knew that her favorite color was yellow like her mama’s.
She was allergic to peanuts, strawberries, and seafood. That was crazy
because I was allergic to seafood, too. She was only in Pre-K but could read
at a second-grade level. I was proud that it seemed like Tori was on her shit.
If Leah was mine, I could be at ease knowing Tori was an excellent mother.
She also warned me that she was very spoiled, but I didn’t give a fuck about
that. I was ready to spoil her if we were being honest.
“So, listen. I don’t want to wait too long to find out whether she’s
mine or not. I’ve already missed out on four and a half years. I hope you
don’t get offended by me wanting to hurry up and find out.”
“Absolutely not. The faster the better. I always said that if I ever saw
you again, I wouldn’t keep Leah from you. We can set something up and go
from there,” she stated.
“Bet. I’ll set an appointment and let you know the details.”
She nodded.
We spent the rest of the dinner talking about Leah and getting to
know one another. Shorty was a vibe in and out the bedroom and that was a
plus. With Pria and any other bitch, I couldn’t sit and hold a normal
conversation with them without getting annoyed. Tori was the total
opposite, so I was willing to check for her a little more than I was already
doing.
After paying the check and leaving a hefty tip, we got ready to
leave. As bad as I wanted to take her ass back home and fuck her
mercilessly, I needed to go talk to my people about this shit. A kid was a big
deal, and I wanted to be prepared for the shit. I had experience with AJ, but
realistically, he was my little cousin. Leah would be a part of me, and I
needed to be sure my people would back me up on the shit.
I pulled up to her house and got out to open her door. When we got
to her door, she stopped before turning around and facing me. I let my eyes
roam over her body and almost forgot I didn’t have plans to fuck her
tonight, but she was looking very fuckable.
“Thank you for tonight, Kha…Ajoni. It was nice. You seem like
you’d be a cool baby daddy, unlike the one I already got,” she laughed.
“Fuck that nigga. Even if he’s Leah’s daddy, I still don’t mind being
her stepdaddy.”
I closed the space between us before gripping the front of her neck
and kissing her right here in front of her door. If her neighbors were nosy as
hell, they would’ve gotten a show. Once she moaned into my mouth, all
plans of not fucking her went out the door.
“Hurry up and open this door before I fuck you right here up against
it,” I said.
No sooner than she closed the door and locked it, I hoisted her in the
air and carried her to the bedroom with her direction. The only light that
shined was from a lamp that she had on the nightstand by her bed. Shit, I
didn’t need no damn light. I only experienced this body twice, but I knew it
like the back of my hand.
I saw that her outfit fastened around her neck, so I unfastened it
without breaking our kiss. Sitting with her in my lap, I let my hands roam
over her body while my tongue explored her mouth. Once I had her top
undone, I let it fall and marveled at her perky ass titties. My mouth watered
at the sight, so to put myself out of my misery, I pulled one of her dime
sized nipples into my mouth as I tweaked the other one between my fingers.
“Ooh…mmm,” she moaned while grinding into my lap and
caressing my head.
When I felt like I had enough of that breast, I switched to the other
one, giving it the same amount of attention. I felt her hands go under my
shirt and her nails scrape at my abs and chest.
Tapping her on the thigh, I demanded, “Get up and take that shit
off.”
I watched her salaciously as she wiggled out of the one piece she
had on. I stripped out of my own clothes in the process. When she walked
to the door and locked it, I already had my dick in my hand, stroking it to
relieve some of the pressure. When her sexy ass approached me and
descended on her knees, a smirk graced my face.
“Baby, don’t get down there if you’on know what you’re doing. I’ll
clown you for playing with me like that, but not before fucking the shit out
of you first.” My voice was low and husky. I knew she could hear the hint
of desire that was held within my words. If she didn’t, I didn’t have a
problem with showing her.
She just gave me a smirk, and without warning, she took my dick
into her warm mouth and went to fucking work. She bobbed her head up
and down at a slow and steady pace while working her tongue at the same
time. When she brought her mouth to the tip and massaged it with her
tongue, I almost moaned out loud as fuck. That shit felt so good. Too
fucking good. After giving my head the right amount of attention, she went
back to sucking my dick. She went all the way down until my dick was
tickling her tonsils and she was gagging for air.
Gawk…Gawk…Gawk
“Fuck, Tori. Get that shit, ma. Fuck!” I moaned.
At this point, I didn’t care how the shit sounded. What she was
doing felt good as hell, and I wasn’t about to hide that shit. She gagged on
my shit a few more times until she detached her mouth from my dick, but
transferred to my balls while she stroked my shit. I leaned back on my
elbows with my eyes closed and my mouth wide the fuck open. As good as
the shit was feeling, I needed her to get her ass up. I was pretty good at
controlling my nut, but she was about to make me lose what little restraint I
had left. In one swift movement, pulled her up off of her knees and onto the
bed. Without warning, I attacked her lips as I lined my dick up with her
opening before I slid inside.
“Fuck,” I groaned, dropping my forehead down onto hers.
I placed kisses on her forehead, nose, lips, and chin before I kissed
and sucked on her neck as I meticulously stroked her sopping wet center.
This shit felt like heaven. Shit was wet and tight as fuck, and I could get
used to this shit.
“Khaotic,” she moaned out.
Hearing her call me Khaotic after I specifically told her not to pissed
me the fuck off. She was hard-headed, but I had something for that and her
ass.
“What did you call me?” I growled. Her eyes popped open at the
sound of my voice. The look in her eyes was filled with pure lust and the
shit made me weak in the fucking knees, but I had to teach her ass not to
fucking play with me right now.
“You’on heat me, Tori?” I asked as I started pounding into her.
“Oh, shit! Yes!” she yelped.
“Then answer me, damn it! The fuck you supposed to call me?”
 I now had her legs locked in the crook of my arms with my hand
wrapped around her neck. Her legs were starting to shake, so I knew she
was about to cum.
“I’on hear you,” I panted.
“Shit, Ajoni! Oh. My. Gawd!” she whimpered as she rained all on
my dick.
“Fuck!” I groaned. “Good fucking girl.” I smirked.
I slowed my strokes, only to flip her little ass on her stomach. She
tried to arch her back, but I wanted her flat. Pushing her right leg out, I
spread her ass cheeks and slid inside of her again, causing her to whimper
in pleasure.
“I know, baby. Shit, I know.”
I gripped her plump ass as I pumped in and out of her at a strong yet
steady pace. The moment I felt her pussy start to grip my shit tighter, I
leaned down and gripped her neck as I fucked both of us through our
orgasm.
“Joni.”
“Mmm…shit,” we moaned in unison.
I stayed inside of her until I got my damn breathing under control,
then rolled over onto my back. I looked over, and she was staring at me
with a smile on her face.
“Wassup, mama?” I asked, pushing her hair out of her face.
“You’re dangerous,” she tittered.
“Touché, shorty. Touché.”

∞∞∞
I didn’t have any plans on spending the night with Tori, but after we
took a shower together and going another round, we continued that shit
until the wee hours of the morning. This time, I didn’t sneak out on her and
promised to hit her up later. She told me she would be at home all day
because JaVon was supposed to come and get Leah so that his mama could
see her. As much as I wanted to protest, I couldn’t. Not until we got the test
done, anyway.
When I got home, it was already after eleven, so I knew Ma Pat had
taken GiGi to church. Service started at eight, so I knew they would be
home soon. What I didn’t expect was Rasheeda to have her ass here waiting
for me. When I walked in, she gave me a look that I couldn’t quite read.
Knowing her, she was probably mad because she thought I was playing her
friend. That was far from the case, though.
“Why you sitting in here looking like you’re about to tell me to go
and get a switch?” I laughed as I took a seat next to her. “Where AJ at?”
“He went to church with mama and GiGi. Where you been, Joni?”
she asked.
“Man, stop tryna clock my moves. You know I went out with Tori
last night,” I huffed.
“That was last night. It’s a whole damn new day,” she fussed.
“Chill. I got this.”
“You better. I told you she had a fucked up baby daddy. I don’t need
her hating me because of you.” Rah was so invested in her and Tori’s
friendship because she didn’t have female friends. From the looks of it,
Tori’s sister was her only friend until Rah came around, so I get it.
“I’m not on that, but let me ask you something. Did you know?”
She gave me a strange look, letting me know that she didn’t.
“Know what, Joni?” she asked.
“Did you know that her daughter could be mine?”
The way her eyes popped out of her head and her mouth hung to the
floor, I knew she didn’t know.
“What the fuck?” she shouted, just as GiGi and Ma Pat came inside.
“Rasheeda, why the hell you in my damn house cursing? You
should’ve had your ass at church to get that damn spirit out you,” GiGi
fussed, causing me to laugh.
“GiGi, you just came from church though,” AJ countered, ducking
immediately after because GiGi swung her hat at his bad ass.
 “I’m grown little boy. Stay out my business. Now why you in here
cursing?”
I ran down the story and by the end she was popping me upside the
head, telling me I need to keep my little dick to myself.
“Not only did you sleep with this girl and not know who or what she
was, but she’s your cousin’s ex, and he could be the daddy, too? This some
Jerry Springer shit. Joni, bring me that damn baby and her mama.” GiGi
fussed all the way to her room, leaving us cracking up at her ass.
“So, I got another grandbaby out there?” Ma Pat asked.
“Possibly. How you feel about that AJ? I know I’m only your uncle,
but I’m always gonna be Pops.”
He shrugged before saying, “It’s cool, I guess. I wish it was mama
though so she can find her some business, but either way y’all won’t be
bothering me much, so I’m good.”
“Boy, I got your damn business!” Rasheeda fussed.
We all kicked the shit until GiGi came back to finish up her dinner
that she started last night. I was ready for this meal, but first I needed to
take a shower and nap. My ass was tired as fuck, and I needed to recharge.
It’s crazy that I could really have a kid, though.

 Chapter Seven
Khatori
When Khaotic left this morning, I was all giddy and shit. Having
him as a baby daddy didn’t seem like it would be too bad. I know the
situation is crazy, but he’s being mature and understanding about it. We
both were being irresponsible that night so it’s no reason to be pointing
blame. I texted Mesha and told her we needed to talk. She hurried and
texted back. Since she had to come from that way, I asked her could she
bring Leah home for me so I wouldn’t have to leave. I planned on having
plenty mimosas and didn’t want to drive. Since I planned on having drinks,
I texted Rasheeda.
Me: Hey boo! You want to come over for mimosas with me and Mesha?
I sat the phone on the dresser while I moisturized my skin. I heard it
ding, letting me know that she replied damn near instantly.
Rah: Oh, you wanna hang out now after letting my cousin slut you out all
night, huh? (smirking face emoji).
Me: And do!! (crying laughing emoji)
Rah: Y’all ridiculous. I’ll be there shortly…we need to talk, anyway.
Me: Okay.
I knew she wanted to ask me about Leah, and I’ll answer whatever
questions that I can. I know Khaotic is her cousin, and we’re supposed to be
friends, but that doesn’t mean I won’t beat her ass if she gets disrespectful.
Once I was finished getting dressed in a two-piece lounge set, I
slipped my feet into my UGG slides and headed to the kitchen so that I
could prepare a light brunch. I cut up some fruit and made a few mini
waffles, sprinkling powdered sugar on top afterwards. After taking the
bacon out of the oven, I poured my first drink just as Mesha was walking in
with Leah in tow.
“Mommy!” she yelled, announcing herself.
 “Little girl, it’s too early to be this loud and energetic,” I laughed as
I hugged her small frame.
“The sun up, so it’s not early. Can I taste that?” she asked, pointing
to my glass. She always tried to be slick and sneak shit.
“You absolutely cannot. Go sit your lil’ ass down somewhere,” I
laughed.
“She is definitely your kid.” Mesha laughed as she came into the
kitchen.
“Chy, don’t remind me. Here. Catch up.” I handed her a glass filled
with champagne and passion fruit juice.
“So, tell me about last night. It better be good, too.” She sipped her
drink as she peered at me as if I was about to give her the secret crabby
patty formula.
“Well, we went out to dinner, and that’s where I told him about
Leah. He took it way better than I expected. I thought he was going to talk
shit and accuse me of lying or some shit. I was fully prepared to beat his big
ass if he tried me, though. He was very understanding but suggested a DNA
test,” I revealed.
“You can’t really get mad at him wanting a test done,” Mesha
mentioned.
“Oh, I’m not. Now, I got to tell JaVon,” I huffed. “I know he’s going
to try some dumb shit, and I’ll for sure have to beat his muthafuckin’ ass.”
“Shit, when don’t you want to beat his ass.” We both laughed as he
sipped on our drinks.
After fixing Leah a plate, we started on our own just as my doorbell
rang.
“You expecting company?” Mesha asked.
“Yeah, that’s probably Rasheeda. I invited her over.”
I got up and headed to the front door and was surprised that Khaotic
was standing there with her. It was a shame how bad my kitty started
thumping as I admired this fine ass man.
“Damn, you gonna eat her ass or something?” Rasheeda jested as
she walked in.
 “Shit, I might.” he smirked, walking inside.
“What you doing back here?” I asked, looking behind me. Leah’s
little nosy ass would be up here in a minute once she heard voices.
“Damn, you’on want me here, shorty? You got a nigga in here or
some shit?” he asked, already frowning and walking past me. When I
grabbed his arm, He looked as if he wanted to beat my ass.
“Leah’s home. I don’t entertain men around her,” I clarified.
“Damn, you saying it like you have niggas all up and through here?”
he snarled.
“If I did, that’s my grown ass business.” I crossed my arms over my
chest and stared his fine ass down. I didn’t care how fine he was, though, he
wasn’t about to hoe me in my own shit.
Smirking, he walked closer to me, pulling my folded arms apart.
When his body was up against mine, he dipped his face down to kiss my
lips.
“You’re right, mama. My bad.” He kissed my lips again, this time
slipping my tongue into my mouth.
“Uhm, do I need to take Leah to the park?” Mesha asked,
interrupting us.
“No.”
“Yeah,” we responded in unison.
I looked Khaotic in the eyes and I could see the passion in them. As
bad as I wanted to feel his thick dick massaging the inside of my walls, I
couldn’t right now.
“I’ll be back when my baby goes to bed.”
He pecked my lips again.
“Your baby?” I asked.
“Yeah. Didn’t I say even if I wasn’t her real daddy, I was going to be
her stepdaddy? You thought I was playing?” He gripped my chin.
“Joni, get the hell out. Shit. I told you I didn’t need you to bring me,
anyway. You just tryna be nasty!” Rasheeda came around the corner and
fussed at her cousin before going back into the kitchen.
 “Mommy, I’m done!” Leah announced as she darted down the hall
with her plate in her hand. She stopped when she saw me standing by
Khaotic. She’s seen Rasheeda a few times, so she was familiar with her.
“Hey, Leah,” Rasheeda spoke.
“Hey, Ms. Rah,” she spoke back before giving me her attention.
“Who are you?” she asked Khaotic.
“Ajoni,” he said, bending down to her level. “What’s your name,
beautiful?” She blushed at him calling her beautiful.
“Leah Grace and I’m four years old,” she stated proudly.
“Well, Leah Grace. You’re the prettiest four-year-old I’ve ever
seen,” he complimented.
“You got braids like me.” She smiled.
“I do, ain’t it?” he smirked.
I watched their interaction a little longer before I escorted her back
to her room. JaVon should be here soon, and I would prefer if Khaotic was
already gone. That was short-lived because while I was getting Leah ready,
I heard JaVon and Mesha calling my name.
“Shit,” I mumbled. “LeLe, stay in here until I come back to get you,
okay?” She nodded.
It was sad, but she was used to me and JaVon arguing, so me telling
her to stay put wasn’t unusual. When I made my way back up front, JaVon
was still standing by the door, mugging Khaotic while Mesha stood in front
of him with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Mesha, get the fuck out the way, bro,” he snarled.
“Von, don’t get your ass beat. Get the fuck out my sister’s face and
why didn’t you tell me you were on the way?”
I walked further into the living room and up to JaVon. He could act
stupid all he wanted, but I would mop the floor with his ass.
“Since when I needed a reason to call to get my daughter?” he
spewed, but his eyes were still on Khaotic.
“Since you don’t pay no muthafuckin’ bills in this bitch. That’s
when. Don’t come in here puffing your chest out Von because I’d be the
muthafucka that’ll let all the air out that bitch.” He was pissing me off,
acting like he ran shit because he saw Khaotic in my house. I looked over
my shoulder and that nigga was sitting on the sofa looking all comfortable
and shit.
“Man, go get my daughter so I can go,” he snapped.
Rolling my eyes, I turned to get Leah. When I returned with Leah,
she made her way to JaVon, and he picked her up.
“I’ll see you later, baby. Be good for Von,” I stated.
“I will. Bye everybody!” she waved, and I saw the look on
Khaotic’s face when JaVon walked out with Leah. When he was gone, I
turned and went back inside.
“When you gon’ tell that nigga?” he asked.
“How you know I want them in my business?” I countered.
“Rah is my sister and Mesha is yours. I’m pretty sure that she
knows. Now answer the question.”
I looked at him a few minutes like he was crazy because I wanted to
know who he thought he was talking to.
“Hurry up and answer me, Tori, before you piss me off.”
“Piss you off? Boy, fu—” my words were cut short by him
snatching me into his lap and gripping my chin.
“Joni!” I heard Rasheeda yell his name.
“I’m good, Rah.” He looked up and then addressed my sister. “She’s
good, Mesha.” When he looked at me, his face still held the same grimace
that it did while he was looking at JaVon.
“Aye, check this. I don’t raise my voice at you and you’re going to
give me the same fucking respect. I won’t raise my voice unless you piss
me off and even then, it’ll be rare. I’m a different type of nigga, Tori. The
way you handled Von’s punk ass will never be how you carry me. I don’t
tolerate that shit. Don’t put your hands on me either, because I hit back. I’ll
just have to deal with my GiGi later. Now that we got that out the way, give
me a kiss so can go.” I looked at this nigga like he was stupid as hell but
still complied and kissed him because my body was a trading ass bitch.
When he removed his lips from mine, he tapped my leg for me to get up,
then told Rasheeda to call him when she was ready. Once he was gone,
those two were looking at me with stupid ass smirks on their faces.
 “Don’t y’all start y’all’s shit,” I warned as I headed back into the
kitchen to get my drink. I downed the little bit I had left before making
another one.
“So, bitch. Why didn’t you tell me you knew my cousin and were
fucking him?” Rasheeda asked.
“I didn’t know he was your cousin.” I shrugged. “It’s not like you
ever told me his name. When you mentioned him, you always called his
real name. I never knew what his name was,” I revealed.
“That’s because you were too busy getting slutted out,” Mesha input
with a smirk.
“Fuck you.” I laughed. “But Rah, I didn’t know for real,” I
explained.
“I believe you. I told him the same thing because you know he
asked. He asked me did I know about you and Von, and I had to admit that I
did. It was only a handful of times that I saw him, so it wasn’t enough to
matter.” She shrugged.
“It’s definitely not enough to matter,” I co-signed.
“GiGi wants to meet you, though. I don’t know if Joni told you or
not.”
“He didn’t.”
“Well, prepare yourself.”
We finished our drinks before finishing the festivities into the living
room. By the time JaVon brought his ass back with my baby. We were good
and lit. Well, them more than me because I had to deal with Leah. When he
came to the door, I told him to stay there until I got Leah in the house and
situated.
“Wassup, Tori? What you need to talk about? I already know you
fucking my cousin.” He had a nasty mug on his face that didn’t do shit but
make me shake my head and laugh at his dumb ass.
“What I do and who I do it with has nothing to do with you. You
don’t even go around your mama’s side of the family so cut it. I just wanted
to tell you that we need to get a DNA test done for Leah.” When I said that,
you could literally see the hurt and anger flash over his face.
 “The fuck you mean we need to get her tested? That’s my fucking
daughter!” He roared, hitting his chest in the process.
“Von, calm that shit down before you piss me off. She very well
maybe yours, but it’s a possibility that she’s not. The other possibility has
come around and I always said that I would let him know if I ever saw him
again.” I revealed.
“Wait. I know you ain’t trying to say that Khaotic is the other
nigga?”
“He is,” I confirmed.
“Wow. All this time you played me for fucking with Diamond, yet
you’ve been fucking my cousin behind my back,” he scoffed.
“First of all, nigga. Nobody cheated on your dirty dick ass. I didn’t
sleep with Khaotic until after we broke up. I literally bumped into that man
in the club. So, miss me with that bullshit. I’d be the first to admit that I
wanted to have a hoe moment to get over the shit with you and that moment
could’ve resulted in Leah. I don’t regret my baby one bit neither do I regret
my actions. Think about it Von. I didn’t tell you that I was pregnant. Your
mama saw me and told you. I didn’t let you sign her birth certificate, nor
did I put you on child support. I never referred to you as her father. That
was all you. Could I have told you? I could’ve, but if I never ran into
Khaotic again, I wanted to make sure that my baby didn’t miss out on
having a father around in some form. I don’t even ask you for shit, but I
never denied you access to her, so you’re not about to stand out here and
make me seem like the lowest bitch on Earth, because I’ll drag you to hell
with me.” I know this wasn’t the ideal situation, but this nigga wasn’t about
to sit here and make me seem like the worst bitch alive. I could’ve been
really grimy, but I wasn’t that type of woman.
“Can we just leave it like it is? She doesn’t have to know?” he
pleaded.
“That’s not right or fair, Von. If she’s Khaotic’s daughter, he has a
right to be in her life, just like you’ve been the past four and a half years.”
He was really tripping.
“Whatever man. Let me know what you gonna do.” He walked off,
and I went back inside. I needed to smoke bad.
Today has been one fucking day.

 Chapter Eight
JaVon ‘Von’ Sanders
When I dropped Leah off, I wasn’t expecting for Tori to tell me that
she could not be mine. I’ve been in that little girl’s life for the past four and
a half years. I was pissed, but I was more upset at the fact that I wouldn’t
have any more reason to be around Tori. It was convenient with her being
my baby mama. That meant I always had a reason to be around her or
contact her. If I wasn’t Leah’s father, then I knew my access to Tori would
be cut off, especially with Khaotic around.
When I got home, I went straight to the kitchen to fix myself a drink
and roll a blunt. Once I had both, I retreated to the living room and called
my mama. The phone rang three times before he answered it.
“Hey, son?” she answered.
“You busy?” I asked, taking a pull of the blunt that I rolled.
“No. What’s wrong?”
Sighing, I told my mama what Tori told me.
“What do you mean, she might not be yours? Why did she wait this
long to say something?” she asked, clearly upset about the news.
“She told me that it happened after she caught me and Diamond.
She was hurt and slept with another nigga,” I explained.
“That’s still no excuse, JaVon. We’ve loved that baby all of her life,”
she expressed.
“I know, Ma. I mean, she’ll still be in the family.”
“What are you talking about?” she asked.
“The guy she slept with is Ajoni.”
“Ajoni? Kat’s boy?” she quizzed.
“Yep. Tori slept with my cousin, and he could be the father of my
daughter,” I revealed. Just thinking that he experienced Tori the way that I
had pissed me the fuck off. I always hated that nigga. He thought he was
hot shit. Him and his brother, Tae. Them niggas didn’t even know who their
damn daddy was but out making babies with my bitch. I should tell his ass
what I knew about Pria.
“Wow. I can’t believe this shit,” my mama fussed. “So what are y’all
going to do about a test?”
“She said she would let me know the date, but I’m not going to that
shit. Let her test that nigga. If he’s not a match, then I know she’s mine.” I
shrugged like she could see me.
“Not necessarily. You thought she was yours all these years. I would
get tested to be on the safe side. You’re already in one situation. No need to
create others.” I nodded in agreement. She was right. Even though I was a
dog ass nigga, Tori portrayed to be innocent but looks like that shit was a
lie.
“Aight, Ma. I’ll let you know what happens.”
“Okay, baby. I love you.”
“I love you too.” I hung up with my mama and sat back on the sofa
and closed my eyes. I couldn’t believe this shit.
“You done crying over that bitch?”
I opened my eyes, and Diamond was standing in front of me with
her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face. I know some people thought
that we were nasty because our parents were married but we weren’t blood
related and I was already smashing before we knew our parents were
dating. Tori couldn’t stand her ass and the feeling was mutual. Diamond
didn’t like Tori, though, because she knew I still loved her. I’m only here by
default. She was cool with me and Tori breaking up until she found out
about Leah. She was jealous and insecure as fuck. At first she wouldn’t let
me go around Tori without her. That didn’t last long because Tori promised
to beat her ass every time she saw her, and she held true to her word. Tori
may have been smart as fuck and had a good job, but she was ratchet and
ghetto as hell. She didn’t care shit about fighting. I low-key loved that shit
because to me, if she was still fighting Diamond, that meant she still loved
me.
“You need to shut the fuck and mind your business,” I snapped.
 “It is my business when you’re in my shit crying over the next bitch
and a baby that ain’t even yours!” she yelled. When she said that,
something triggered inside of me, and I jumped up and wrapped my hand
around her neck.
“Watch what the fuck you say. Leah is my daughter. Do you hear
me? She’s mine!” I roared, shaking the shit out of her ass.
Seeing the tears stream down her face, I let her go and grabbed my
keys. I had to leave her before I killed this damn girl.
Getting in my car, I drove aimlessly until I ended up at Tori’s. I
scanned the neighborhood to make sure I didn’t see Khaotic’s truck lurking
around before I pulled into her driveway. I debated on getting out or not
until I eventually said fuck it. Turning the car off, I got out and trekked up
to the short driveway before making it to the front door. When I got to her
door, I rang the doorbell and waited for her to answer. I knew she looked
through the peephole and saw it was me. When she opened the door in
nothing but a pair of boyshorts and a tank top, my dick swelled.
“What do you want, Von?” she asked with her voice laced with
attitude.
“Can I come in?” I asked, trying my hand.
“No. Now what do you want? Leah is asleep and you know that,”
she spat.
“Were you for real when you said it was a chance Leah wasn’t
mine?” I asked. She looked at me through squinted eyes before her features
soften.
“Look, Von. It’s not like I lied to you or tried to trap or set you up.
Yes, there is a possibility that she’s not yours, but if she’s Khaotic’s, I
would have to respect whatever wishes he has for her. If you wanted to still
come around, it’ll be up to him,” she said, pissing me the fuck off.
“The fuck you mean it’ll be up to him? That nigga don’t call no
fucking shots,” I growled.
“I do when it comes to my fucking daughter. Now, I’d advise you to
get the fuck on before I have Auntie organizing a fish fry for her grandson.
The fuck on Von before you have to see me, and we both know if I show
up, it’ll be Khaotic and not Joni. Pick your battles, my boy.” I looked
confusingly as to where this nigga was until I saw Tori’s phone in her hand.
She had this nigga on the phone the whole time she was out here talking to
me.
“Tori, don’t make me fuck you up about my baby.” I threatened. “I’d
take her away from you if you keep playing with me.”
“And nigga, you and yo’ pops will be at hell’s gates having a family
reunion. Tori, I’m almost there. Close the door on that nigga,” Khaotic
demanded.
Doing as she was told, she shut the door in my face and went back
inside. If this was another nigga, I would stay my ass right here, but I knew
I wasn’t dealing with an average nigga. They didn’t call that nigga Khaotic
for nothing, and I wasn’t dealing with that shit tonight. He and Tori’s hoe
ass would be seeing me though. I meant that shit.

 Chapter Nine
Khaotic
Today was the day of the DNA test and I was anxious as fuck. I
couldn’t even sleep last night because I was ready to get this shit over with.
I offered to pick Tori and Leah up, but she assured me that I didn’t have to
do that. I knew it was because she didn’t want to confuse Leah if I wasn’t
her father, and I understood. To make it easier for her, I agreed. Once I
looked myself over in the mirror, I went downstairs to find GiGi in the
kitchen.
“Morning, lady.” I kissed her temple before grabbing a juice from
out of the refrigerator.
“What I told you about putting your damn lips on me.” she frowned.
“I keep telling you, my lips clean, GiGi.” I laughed.
“Uhm hmm. When you bringing that fake baby mama and that baby
over here?” she asked, cutting her eyes at me.
“After we’re done today. She doesn’t want to confuse Leah just in
case the results come back and she’s not mine and I respect it. I figured
since she’s my girl, we could make an exception,” I explained.
“Your girl? Boy, your nappy headed ass been home for two seconds
and you claiming this girl not knowing if that baby is yours?”
“GiGi, this has nothing to do with Leah. I’ve been stuck on that girl
ever since I met her five years ago. Her possibly being my baby mama is
just a plus because I knew I was coming home to look for her.” That was
real shit. I thought about Tori’s fine ass every day and prayed every night
that I would find her when I got out. Big G did his big one, having her and
Rasheeda cross paths and now we may have a child together.
“If you say so. Make sure you bring them here today, Joni or I’ll
have Rasheeda take me to her,” she stated with finality.
 “I hear you. I’m out though. I’on want to be late.” I kissed GiGi on
the temple before I left and headed to the doctor’s office. The doctor that I
was using was one that we had on our payroll, and I trusted him more than
anything to get this shit done and done right. While I was riding, Tae’s ass
called.
“Yerr,” I answered.
“You on the way to Doc’s?” he asked as soon as the call connected.
“Yeah. What you got going on? You ain’t usually up this early.”
“I was checking on you and shit. I know this means a lot to you and
shit, especially with us not having a pops. I mean, you took the role for AJ,
but I know this shit feels different,” he expressed.
He was right. This shit had my chest tight because I knew it was a
chance that this little girl could be mine. A life that I created. One that I
would be responsible for, for the rest of my fucking life.
“I’m not even gon’ hold you and say I ain’t scared. Like you said, I
took on the role for AJ…we both did, but this shit feels different. I’ll have a
daughter man. The fuck I’m gon’ do with a fucking daughter? AJ ass is easy
because he’s a boy. I’on know shit about periods or cramps. No more than
what we experienced with Rah. I don’t want my baby to come home crying
about some nigga, then I’ll be going back to prison. God forbid she wants to
talk about sex. I’ll lock her up, bro, on some real shit,” I vented.
“Nigga, you can’t lock the damn girl up.” he laughed. “But you do
know she has a mama, right? Whatever you can’t answer or do, I’m pretty
sure her mama can, or Rah. If all else fails, she can come holla at Uncle
Tae. I’ll set her straight,” he offered.
“Nah, nigga. You’ll probably throw a box of condoms at her like
you did AJ and I’ll have to beat your ass.”
He laughed. “That was dead ass the plan. She won’t have to worry
about no nigga talking about he ain’t got none. She’ll have her own and be
prepared.
“Bye nigga. I’m not talking about this shit with you.”
“Aight. Hit me up when you’re done, though.”
“Aight.”
 I hung up the phone with Tae just as I was pulling up to the doctor’s
office. He was usually closed today but was doing me a solid by letting us
come in. I wanted this process to be as private and effective as possible.
When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw Tori and she was beating the shit
out some bitch. I quickly put my truck in park and made my way over there.
When JaVon’s pussy ass saw me, he tried to break the fight up, but instead
of getting who I figured was his bitch, he put his hands on Tori. That was
the wrong move, but shorty swung on his ass, too.
“Aye, muthafucka!” I called out, causing everyone to look my way.
“Touch her and they’ll be calling the fucking coroner.” I grit. “You out here
fighting over this nigga?” I questioned Tori.
“Fuck that nigga, and that sour pussy bitch!” she yelled.
“Bitch, you’re the one getting two cousins tested!” the bitch yelled.
“And I’m the bitch that can still fuck yo’ nigga if I wanted to!” Tori
snapped back.
“Aye, chill out,” I growled, pulling her close to me. “That’s how you
feeling?” I asked her.
Looking up at me, she said, “Fuck Von. This bitch started her shit as
soon as she was in my space, running her mouth about shit she knows
nothing about and talking about my baby. I don’t care who or what it is,
about Leah Grace, it’s up every muthafuckin’ time.” I looked down into her
pretty face and nodded right before kissing her lips. When I looked back,
Von and that bitch were really standing there like shit was all good.
“Nigga, you were really standing there letting this bitch talk about a
kid that could be yours? What kinda nigga is you?” I quizzed.
“Nigga, I tried to break the shit up!” he barked.
“I know you better lower yo’ muthafuckin’ register when you
talking to me. I ain’t the muthafucka you got the issue with, and since Tori
is my woman now, you ain’t got shit with her, either.” I gave him a look that
let him know I was ready for him to act stupid so I can have a reason to beat
his ass out here.
Without saying another word, I escorted Tori inside the office,
letting the door close in that other bitch’s face. The fuck I look like holding
the door for her when her nigga was right there.
 “You straight?” I asked Tori as soon as we were seated.
“I’m fine. That hoe ain’t touch me,” she said loud enough for those
two dummies to hear her, causing me to chuckle. She was ratchet as fuck,
but I loved that shit. “I’m just glad that I had my mama come and get Leah
because I don’t like her to see me act like that,” she stated. I nodded
because I agreed.
The doctor came and called us back. After swabbing me, then
JaVon, he put the samples up and labeled them.
“How long will it take to get back?” JaVon asked.
“Well, Mr. Brooks paid for expedited services so I can have them
back within forty-eight hours,” the doctor informed.
“How we know these will be accurate? If he paid you to expedite it,
he could’ve paid for them to be altered,” his bitch voiced.
“Then be happy, bitch,” Tori snapped.
“I can assure you that my medical license isn’t worth a few extra
dollars to falsify any results. The three of you will get the results via the
email you provided on the forms you filled out. If you don’t have any more
questions, you all can be on your way.”
“’Preciate you doing this, Doc, on your day off and shit.”
“I was more than happy to help. I hope things work out in your
favor because if I’m being honest, we need something to calm you down,”
he smirked.
“Watch out, man,” I laughed, escorting Tori out.
When we walked outside, JaVon and his bitch were still standing
outside arguing like some damn fools.
“Why you standing out here waiting on that bitch? She ain’t even
fucking thinking about you,” she argued.
Before Tori could even respond, I pulled her back.
“Fuck that hating ass bitch. She’s bitter, and it shows. She knows
that nigga still checking for you, but for the safety of the both of them, I’m
gon’ need them to fall back. I’on play fair when it comes to mine, shorty,” I
explained.
A smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth.
 “I’m yours?” she simpered.
“Hell yeah. I marked that shit five years ago…literally,” I affirmed.
I looked up and saw that JaVon and his girl were still standing
around, looking stupid.
“Aye, y’all need some shit?” I asked.
“Tori, I’m coming to get Leah today,” he said.
“It’s a school night, Von. You know that doesn’t happen. If you want
to see her, she’s with my mama.”
You can tell that he didn’t like that response, but he didn’t say shit. I
walked Tori to her car and helped her inside.
“You took the whole day off?” I asked her.
“Yes, because I didn’t know how the day was going to go.”
“Follow me to my house.”
“Kha—” she started but the look I gave her made her switch that
shit up fast. “Joni, I don’t know about that. Don’t you live with your
grandmother?” she said.
“Nah, sweetheart. My GiGi lives with me. That’s beside the point,
though. I just want to kick it with you and let you meet my people before
we get the results. I would prefer if they met Leah too, but I know how you
feel about that.” I would’ve preferred to have her and Leah with me when I
introduced them to my family, but Tori wanted to wait until we got the
results back before she took Leah around my family.
She gave me an unsure look before reluctantly agreeing.
“Okay.”
I leaned down and kissed her lips while I fastened her seat belt.
After I knew she was secure, I shut the door and went back to my truck. I
almost called her and told her to take her car home and let her ride with me,
but I knew she wasn’t going to go for that, so I took what I could get. She
was already hesitant about coming. If I had suggested that she do that, her
ass probably would’ve stayed.
When we pulled up to my house, I saw Kat’s car in the driveway. I
wasn’t expecting her to be here, but it was what it was. I got out my truck
then trekked to Tori’s car behind me. By the time I got there, she was
already out.
“Next time wait for me,” I scolded before taking her hand into mine
and heading inside. When we walked in, I found GiGi and Kat in the
kitchen. When they saw that I wasn’t alone, GiGi spoke up first.
“Joni, who is this?” GiGi asked. She was old school as fuck. She
didn’t automatically like you. She had to feel you out first before she passed
her judgement.
“GiGi, this my girl, Tori. Tori, this my GiGi.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Tori spoke.
“Uhm hmm. Joni told me about your little situation. Care to
explain?” GiGi spoke. As bad as I wanted to ask her to chill out, I didn’t
want her going upside my damn head.
“Uh, well. It’s not much to it. I found out my boyfriend cheated on
me. My sister took me to the club for my birthday where I ran into Kha…I
mean Ajoni. He offered to celebrate with me, and we ended the night
together. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks later and I knew he could
be a possibility. I didn’t know his name or how to get in touch with him to
tell him about my daughter. When I saw him at the club when he got home,
I told him the first chance that I got,” she explained. I knew she wasn’t
going to tell her that she couldn’t tell me that night because I had her
stuffed with dick, but I already told her.
“So, you make it a habit of sleeping with men and not knowing their
names?” Kat asked. That shit pissed me off so bad but before she could
respond, Tae walked in and said something before I had the chance to.
“At least she has it narrowed down to two. You wouldn’t know who
me and Joni’s daddy is if the nigga or niggas walked in here and admitted
the shit himself,” he snarled.
“Jontae!” GiGi scolded.
“My bad, GiGi, but she’s the last person to be saying some shit like
that.”
GiGi cut her eyes at him before she turned her attention back to Kat.
“Kat, he’s right. You had no right talking to this young lady like that.
She was young and reckless, but from what I can tell, she loves her baby,
and I’m assume she’s raising her on her own. Am I right?” She looked at
Tori for her response.
“Yes, ma’am. I get help from my parents and sister, mostly. Von
does the bare minimum and so does his mother,” she explained.
“Yeah. Justine barely had time for that boy, so I can only imagine
her not having time for her grandbaby. Well, I’ll tell you this. It looks like
you’ll be around, whether that baby belongs to Joni or not, so you’re more
than welcome here. I want you to bring that baby to see me soon, though.”
“I will,” Tori responded.
“Tori, I want to apol—” Kat started to apologize but Tori cut her off.
“Save it. I don’t want to be disrespectful because you’re Joni’s
mother, but make that the last time you disrespect me or my child. That’s
one thing I’ll never play about with anybody,” Tori warned.
“I know that’s right, sis. But Kat is not our mother. That’s GiGi’s
daughter and our Auntie-Mama Patricia’s sister. That’s where that ends,”
Tae’s stupid ass said.
Kat eventually got tired of everybody talking around her and left.
Once she was gone, we continued to talk and GiGi got to know Tori. It
wasn’t a surprise that GiGi was going to like her, so that wasn’t even a
worry of mine. I tried to get her to stay, but she explained she had to go and
get Leah so she could get her ready for school. As bad as I wanted her to get
her and bring her back, I let her do her thing. It’s clear that she’s a good
mother, so I won’t intervene or interrupt that shit. These two days couldn’t
go by fast enough, though.

 Chapter Ten
Khatori
Ajoni: Have a great day, Beautiful. Kiss baby girl for me.
I was on my way to work when Khaotic texted me. He’s been
texting me every morning since we’ve exchanged numbers. I found it sweet
that a man as rough around the edges as him could be so sweet. I pulled into
the parking lot and grabbed the coffee that I picked up for me and Rasheeda
before going inside. I made it to my desk and saw her coming out of the
back.
“Good morning, boo,” she greeted.
“Hey, girl.” I handed her, her coffee before setting mine down on
my desk. She shut my office door and took a seat on the opposite end of my
desk while I took a seat in my chair.
“Girl, Joni told me about Kat. I meant to call you yesterday, but I
got caught up. Plus, I didn’t want to overwhelm you, so I just waited until
today. I’m glad you told her trifling ass off. All she did was birth Joni and
Tae, but those are my damn brothers and I’on play about them. She better
be glad I wasn’t there because I would’ve knocked her wig loose and just
deal with GiGi,” she rambled before taking a sip of her coffee.
“Chy, ain’t nobody thinking about her ass. The only reason I didn’t
curse her ass out like I wanted to is because GiGi looks like she doesn’t
play, and I didn’t want those problems.” We shared a laugh.
“GiGi definitely doesn’t play, but it looks like you passed the vibe
check. GiGi is hard to win over. Joni’s last girlfriend didn’t stand a chance.
It got so bad that he stopped bringing her around,” she tattled.
“The girl from the club?” I asked.
“Yep. That’s her.” She sipped her coffee again. “Look, Tori. I’m
only telling you this because I like you, but I love my brother more. Pria
popped up to the house and told Joni that she had an abortion when he got
locked up. GiGi literally had to stop him from choking the damn girl to
death, even though she deserved it. I’m not saying that you’re playing with
my cousin because his story is the same as yours. I just know that if Leah
isn’t his, he’s going to be crushed because Pria robbed him of his other kid.
He told me that y’all were in a relationship now so for his sake, don’t let
him get attached to Leah and then take her from him, whether she’s his or
not,” she pleaded. I heard what she was saying, and I understood. I would
never string him along because my daughter’s feelings were more important
to me than anybody else’s.
“I’ll never intentionally hurt him. We both know that there is a
chance that Leah might not be his, but we’re both fully prepared to handle it
accordingly. Trust me, the last thing I want is for this to be a complete mess
because my daughter is in the center of all of this.
“Good, now tell me about this Diamond bitch. Do I need to pull my
hands out of retirement? I ain’t had a good fight in a minute. Joni wouldn’t
let me beat Pria’s ass so this hoe can get it.”
I fell out laughing at her ass because I knew she was serious as hell.
“Girl, fuck Diamond’s buck tooth ass. She worried about me when I
gave her the nigga. Ain’t my fault that nigga still loves me.” I smirked.
“You bet not let Joni hear you say that shit.”
We shared a laugh before she went back out to her desk. I had a few
loan applications to look over before lunch and I wanted to have them all
done before then.
I was so caught up in my work; I didn’t see when my office door
came open until I looked up and saw Khaotic standing over my desk.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, smiling at the lilies he had in
his hand.
Rounding my desk, he pulled me up and wrapped his arms around
me before kissing my neck, then lips.
“I came to take you and Rah to lunch,” he explained.
“How did you know when I took my lunch? Never mind. I’m pretty
sure Rah gave you my whole damn schedule,” I voiced.
“And did,” she blurted as she came inside of the office. “Now y’all
come on because I’m hungry.”
 She walked back out just as quickly as she came in, causing the both
of us to laugh at her ass.
“Come on and let’s go before she brings her ass back in here,” I
suggested.
“You got to come right back afterwards?” he asked in a salacious
tone. My kitty immediately reacted, and I quickly ran the rest of the day
down in my head to see if I could take the rest of the day off or at least take
an extended lunch.
“I think I can do that,” I simpered.
“Good.”
He squeezed my butt before slapping it and opening the office door.
When we made it out of my office, Rasheeda was waiting for us at her desk
and Alicia was mugging us.
“Uh, Tori. I thought we couldn’t have company at work?” she
quizzed.
“You can’t, and before you start, I’m the manager, so the same rules
don’t apply to me, and it isn’t company if it’s my ride to lunch. Mind your
business while you still have a job,” I sniped.
“That bitch gets on my nerves,” Rasheeda said as soon as we walked
outside. “You know she only acts like that because she wanted to be the
manager, but they hired you. That shit made her mad as hell, especially with
her already being employed here, and you came in and snatched that shit
from her ass.”
“She got to be quicker than that,” I said with a laugh as Khaotic
helped me inside of his truck. After fastening me in, he helped Rah inside,
then got in himself.
“What y’all trying to eat?” he asked as he pulled out of the parking
lot.
“Mexican would be great,” I mentioned.
“Yes, and a margarita,” Rasheeda chimed in.
“Rah, don’t you have to go back to work?” Khaotic asked as he
looked at her in the rearview mirror.
 “Sure do. That’s why I’m only having one. Besides, I saw the way
you’ve been looking at my friend, so I know I’ll have to watch the office
while she’s out.” She smirked.
“Good looking out, sis.”
“Who said I wasn’t coming back to work?” I asked, looking at the
both of them.
“We’ll see.” Khaotic smirked as he squeezed my thigh through my
dress pants.
Pulling up to the restaurant, I was glad that it wasn’t that crowded.
This particular spot was always crowded around lunchtime. It was in the
heart of town and close to a lot of the office buildings in the area. Once
Khaotic helped me and Rasheeda out of the truck, he escorted us inside.
The hostess sat us quickly and surprising our waitress came in a timely
manner.
“Let me get a house margarita with a sugar rim,” Rasheeda ordered
as soon as the lady got to the table.
“Damn, Rah. Let the lady introduce herself first,” Khaotic fussed.
She took the rest of our drink orders and food order. Me and
Rasheeda came here often for lunch, so we knew exactly what we wanted.
The place is fairly new, so it wasn’t here before Khaotic went to prison, but
it didn’t take him long to decide on his food. While we waited, we carried
on a casual conversation about a little bit of everything. That was until
Rasheeda blurted out her inner thoughts once she started on her drink.
“So y’all together for real or y’all just telling people that?” she
asked. I sipped my drink as I felt Khaotic’s eyes on me.
Cupping my chin, he made me face him. “What you tryna do?” he
asked, staring into my eyes.
“I-uh. You never asked me to be your girl,” I stammered.
“I didn’t think I had to. I thought my actions spoke what my feelings
were displaying,” he countered.
“It was just sex, Kha-Joni. That doesn’t equate a relationship. You
have to show and tell me,” I affirmed.
Without any words, he dipped down and kissed me like we were the
only two people in the room before letting me up for air.
 “That’s enough for you? I’on even put my mouth on these bitches,
let alone my damn tongue. That alone should say that you’re mine and if it
didn’t, then I’m saying it. You’re mine, Tori and I’on play fair or share
when it comes to mine, shorty.” The look that his face bore let me know
that he was serious and if I had any sense, I would fall my ass in line.
“I guess he told you.” Rasheeda smirked.
The waitress brought our food back, and we enjoyed it before we
took Rasheeda back to work and went back to my house. He tried to get me
to go back to his house, but I wasn’t comfortable doing that, knowing I was
about to let this man slut me out.
“Ughn,” I moaned out as he pushed inside of me from behind. I
have never had sex with a man, and he’d make me cum this fast and as
much as Khaotic did when he was inside of me. This was the type of dick
that made you delirious. There would’ve been no way I would be able to go
back to work after this, especially since it was obvious that this man didn’t
know what a quickie was.
“Fuck, ma. Grip that dick just like that.”
Slap!
My body had already turned into a traitor and was under his
command without my consent. My walls immediately clinched around his
length, causing a low, sexy growl to emit from his throat as I came all over
and him doing the same.
“Shit!” he grunted as he gripped my hips to keep me still.
Once he was finished, he slid out of me while I collapsed on the side
of him.
“Don’t go to sleep. We need to clean up,” he mentioned.
“Mhm,” was all I was able to say. I wouldn’t be able to do shit until
I got my bearings together.
“Come on, shorty. Don’t you need to go get baby girl from your
people?” he inquired.
“Ugh, yes.”
Stretching, I got up and looked at him, still lying on the bed with his
dick resting against his thigh.
 “You keep looking at me like that and you won’t be making it no
damn where,” he voiced.
After much thought, I decided to get my ass up and go take a shower
so I could go pick my daughter up. What I didn’t expect was for Khaotic to
bring his ass in there and fuck me into the shower tiles. I had to remember
that this man just got of prison and was making up for lost time.
Once I was finally clean and redressed, Khaotic walked me outside
and to my car.
“You gon’ hit me up later?” he asked as he buried his face into my
neck.
“Mmm, ye-yeah,” I simpered.
He looked at me like he didn’t know what he was doing to me.
“Yeah, let me go before you be bent over this hood in broad fucking
daylight.” He grabbed the front of my throat and kissed me before helping
inside the car and fastening the seatbelt for me. When I was secured in my
seat, he gave me one last kiss before shutting my door and swaggering to
his truck, not leaving until I pulled out.
I pulled up to my parent’s house and got out and let myself in. I
found my mama and Leah in the kitchen.
“Mommy!” Leah shouted when she saw me.
“Hey, baby. How was school?” I asked.
“It was good. I got something for you to sign. My teacher said it’s
our progress port.” I giggled because she messed that word all up.
“You mean your progress report?”
“Yeah, that.” She smiled.
“Okay, I’ll look at it in a minute. Let me talk to Gramma.”
I watched as she took off out of the kitchen and down the hallway.
She knew if I said I needed to talk to Gramma, that meant we were having
adult talk and she needed to leave the room. When I was sure she was gone,
I took a seat at the counter where my mama was washing off her meat.
“What’s on your mind, Tori? I can see the wheels turning in your
head.” That was one thing you couldn’t say about my mama. She was very
observant. I don’t know if it was because she was nosy or what, but she was
always up on game.
“You know I’ve run across Khaotic again and we’ve been spending
time together?”
“Mhm, and from what I can see, it’s been recently by that big ass
hickey on your neck.” She smirked, and I blushed.
“Ugh. You see everything. He came to take me and Rasheeda to
lunch. That’s not what I’m talking about, though.”
“What is it then?” she asked.
“He said that we were in a relationship,” I clarified.
“Okay. What’s the problem?” she asked seemingly confused.
“You don’t think he’s doing this because Leah could be his?”
“Did you ask him?” she countered.
“I did.”
“And what did he say?”
“That he would always be there even if it were as her stepdaddy,” I
revealed.
“Then what the is the damn problem, Tori?” I could tell she was
getting frustrated because she rarely cursed.
“It’s…I mean. Shit, I can’t explain it.”
“Yes, you can. You’re scared that it’s going to be a repeat of you and
JaVon. You can’t let that hold you back. Not only do you like this man, but
he could be Leah’s father,” she whispered. “She deserves to see more than
you and JaVon just existing or arguing all the time. If you don’t do this for
anyone else, think about her.”
Nodding, I agreed.
“How do I tell her about him if he is her father?” I didn’t want to
confuse my baby, but I didn’t want to lie to her either.
“Simply tell her that JaVon was helping his cousin until he came
home. It’s that simple. She’s young. She doesn’t need an elaborate
explanation of how everything went down. That’s simple enough and
technically the truth, since they are related.” She gave me a side eye after
that statement.
 “Ma, I didn’t know that they were cousins.”
“Mhmm.” She smirked.
“Let me get my child and go home. I feel too much judgment in
here.”
Laughing, I got up and searched for Leah so we could go home.
Since Khaotic drained me of all my energy, I ordered us a pizza to pick up
on the way home. That way, all she had to do was eat, bathe and go to bed.
Tomorrow was judgement day, and I can’t lie and say I wasn’t nervous.
Hopefully, the results won’t be too detrimental to my daughter’s life.

 Chapter Eleven
Khaotic
I had to go to the club today to do inventory to make sure that we
had enough liquor and supplies for tomorrow. I was trying to keep busy
because I knew today would be the day that we would get the results back.
Tori and I decided that we would go over the results together, so I blocked
the damn email so I wouldn’t even be tempted to look at it without her. I
was just waiting for her to tell me that she received hers. So while I waited,
I made sure to keep busy.
“You know I could’ve done this shit for you, right?” Tae said from
behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw him standing there with a
water bottle in his hand. I knew he was capable of doing the shit, because
he did a hell of a job while I was gone. I was home now, and I needed to get
back into the swing of things. After the results, I planned on telling Tori
about me owning the club. She never questioned me about my house or
income, and I know Rasheeda didn’t tell her. We don’t just volunteer
information like that.
“I know you could’ve, but I needed something to keep myself busy.
You know we were supposed to get the results back today. I’m trying
everything that I can to keep from looking at my phone every five seconds,”
I revealed.
“I feel it. You scared?” he asked.
I looked at my brother and debated on telling him my true feelings.
If I could trust anybody, I knew it could be him.
“Bro, I’m terrified. The shit with AJ is different because I didn’t
create him. This little girl could’ve come from me, and I don’t know how to
grasp that. I mean, look at us. Nigga, we don’t even know who we came
from. That shit is fucked up. Kat would rather fuck and suck her way by
and not worry about the mental toll it took on us. I’ll be damned if I let my
daughter walk around feeling lost or unloved. I can tell that Tori did a good
job with her and apparently she doesn’t hate that nigga Von, but what if she
hates me? What if she’s mad that I wasn’t around until now? How am I
supposed to handle my kid hating me Tae?”
I leaned my back against the bar and put my hands on top of my
head because I could feel myself unraveling. I haven’t felt these types of
emotions since I was a kid, wondering who the fuck my own daddy was and
where the fuck I came from. To think that my daughter could have those
same thoughts was fucking with me.
“Aye, bro. If nobody gets it, I do. That’s the main reason I don’t
want to have kids. I don’t want to even deal with the possibility of a kid I
created feeling the same way about me that I feel about Kat. Hell, I can’t
even hate the nigga that helped create me, because I’m pretty sure he
doesn’t even know. That bitch did, though. She knew the consequences of
welcoming so many dicks into her life that two of them niggas left her with
lifelong reminders of her actions, but she still didn’t give a fuck. That’s not
the case with you, though. Were you and Tori reckless? Fuck yeah, but y’all
also were responsible enough to own up to your mistakes. Don’t even look
at baby girl as a mistake, though, because she’s your chance to give a kid
besides AJ everything that we didn’t have. Look at it as your chance to
prove to these muthafuckas that you’re not just Khaotic. Show them that
you’re Ajoni-Muthafuckin-Brooks. A fucking father with a beautiful ass
baby girl and a fine ass baby mama that he stole from his bitch ass cousin.”
We both burst into laughter after his last statement. I knew it wouldn’t be
long before he said some ignorant shit. He couldn’t help himself.
“You a stupid ass nigga, but you’re right. I need to get out of my
head. I got this shit.” I coached.
“Bet. Now get the fuck outta here and go be with your girl. Y’all
gon’ have a lot to celebrate.” He smirked.
“You’re right. Shit, Leah’s still at school. I might get a private
celebration going on while she’s there. You got the rest of this?” I asked.
“Yeah, nigga. Get the fuck on.”
After dapping my brother up, I grabbed my shit and headed to Tori’s
house so that we could see what these results said. When I pulled up, I was
a ball of fucking nerves. I still didn’t know whether they came or not but
I’m pretty sure they have by now. I got out and knocked on the door and
waited for her to come open it. When she came to the door, she only had on
one of those two-piece lounge sets that I loved to see her in. I let my eyes
roam over her thick frame before I pulled her into my body into mine,
kissing her neck, then lips.
“Why you keep opening the door before asking who it is and always
damn near naked?” I squeezed her juicy ass.
“I always look at my phone or have Alexa show me who it is, and
this is comfortable, that’s why.”
She took my hand and led me to the couch where I could tell where
she was before opening the door. I took a seat before and pulled her into my
lap, making her straddle me. Her lips looked juicy as hell, so I gripped the
front of her neck and kissed her lips again. I let my free hand explore her
body while my tongue explored the inside of her mouth. I knew she
smoked, so I tasted the weed, and that sweet ass blunt she used to smoke it
out of. Once I broke the kiss, she just stared at me with lust filled eyes. As
bad as I wanted to fuck her walls loose, I needed to see those results so that
I could know my next moves. Either way, I would still be around. I just
needed to know how I needed to move going forward.
“You checked your email?” I asked, still holding her in my lap.
“No. Did you?”
“Nah. I wanted to see them with you. I don’t even know if they
came yet or not.
She nodded before leaning over and picking her phone up off of the
couch. I watched as she navigated through her phone before handing it to
me.
“They came, but I want you to be the first one to see them.” She
handed me her phone and I know she could hear my heart beating out of my
chest.
Taking the phone from her, I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer
before I clicked the email to open it. I skipped all the legal jargon and
dragged my eyes all the way to the bottom, where the results were written
out. I breathed a sigh of relief when it read that I was 99.9999 percent the
biological father of Leah. I didn’t even realize tears were streaming down
my face until I felt Tori’s soft ass hands wiping them away. When I looked
at her, she had tears of her own.
 “Why you crying, shorty?” I asked her.
“Because you are,” she simpered.
“Well, I hope those are happy tears because mine are. I have a
beautiful baby girl, and I got you to thank for that. Thank you for this. For
her.” I kissed her lips again.
“So, it’s official, huh? You’re my baby daddy?” she smirked.
“Nah. I’m your fucking man, and Leah’s father. Make sure you get
that shit correct, mama.”
“Are you happy for real?” she asked.
“I’m fucking elated. I can’t wait to see her now. I hated that our
interactions were limited, but ain’t shit standing in the way of that now,” I
mentioned.
“When do you want to tell her?” she asked.
“I don’t want to wait. We need to tell her today as soon as she gets
home. I already started setting shit in place, just in case, and I need her to
know who her father is. And if I’m being honest, it’s for my own
reasoning.”
She nodded.
“I get it.”
“We need to make everything official now. After we tell baby girl,
we need to tell your people and let Leah meet my family. If I’m being
honest, regardless of what these results were, if I don’t get her over to see
GiGi soon, she might put me out my own house.” We laughed.
“Yeah, I can see she doesn’t play,” she laughed.
“At fucking all. That’s my girl, though. She didn’t hesitate to take
her daughter’s kids in so for that alone, she can get whatever she wants
from me.”
“Is that why she lives with you?” she asked.
“Yeah. I was always closer to her, so I still lived with her in the
house we grew up in. Once I brought my house, I moved her out of the
hood and in with me. It works for us. I get free meals all damn day and the
house stays clean.” I shrugged.
“What about if me and Leah want to stay over?”
 “What you mean, if? Now that we know she’s mine, she’ll be there
with me more. I hope that means you’ll stay too.”
“What about your gramma, Ajoni?”
“What about her?” I frowned. “Listen. I’m a thirty-two-year-old
grown ass man. If I want my girl and daughter to come to the house, then
that’s what it is. If I want to fuck my lady in my house, then I will. That’s
why her ass is downstairs. Don’t think because my GiGi lives with me that I
can’t do shit. The only restriction we’d have is me fucking you in the
kitchen on top the counter.” I smirked, and she hit me in my chest. I looked
down at her hand before dragging my eyes back to her face. She quickly
removed her hand and caressed my hair.
“How long you got before you have to go pick my baby up?” She
was still sitting in my lap and my dick was hard as a missile, and I knew she
felt that shit.
“Mesha is picking her up for me,” she informed.
“She don’t work?” I asked, because her ass was always accessible.
“Hell no. Her boyfriend takes care of her. He’s a producer, so he
does everything for her,” she revealed.
“A producer, huh? That’s wassup. But check it. Let’s get our own
celebration going on before she brings her home.”
I was already slipping my hands in her shorts while I was talking.
She was already soaking wet, and I needed to feel that shit like yesterday. I
wasted no time pulling her shorts and panties off before releasing my dick
from my sweats. In no time, I had her sliding down my shit.
“Shit,” I hissed as I felt her walls squeeze the life out my shit.
Slap!
“Act like you know how to handle this muthafucka,” I demanded.
With her hands planted on my chest, she started bouncing up and
down on my dick just the way I liked it. My hands automatically went to
her ass, and I gripped that shit as she rode the fuck out of my dick.
“Fuck, baby. Just like that, shit.” I groaned with my eyes closed.
“Joni,” she moaned, causing my eyes to open and stare at her.
“Wassup, ma? You ’bout to cum already?” I asked.
 Her words were stuck, so she nodded her head up and down.
“What you waiting on, then? Give me that shit.”
Gripping her waist tightly, I started fucking her from the bottom just
as somebody started beating on the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Tori, open this muthafuckin’ door ’fore I kick this bitch in!” We
heard Von’s bitch ass on the other side of the door yelling.
Pissed, I lifted Tori off of me and tucked my dick back in my jeans.
“Fix yourself up,” I ordered as I trekked to the door.
When I reached it, I snatched it open just as this muthafucka was
about to beat on it again.
“Give me a reason not to blow your shit back.” I grilled his stupid
ass with my gun at my side.

 Chapter Twelve
JaVon
“Fuck, Diamond. Shit,” I grunted as Diamond rode my dick. I would
have very much preferred it be Tori, but I took what I could. I knew it was
fucked up of me to have cheated on her, but I didn’t know any nigga that
was faithful. Hell, my own pops was a dog ass nigga to my mama. That
didn’t mean he didn’t love her ass. Cheating on her is what got him killed,
though. He was cheating on my mama with a woman that was married and
the nigga killed him and his wife. That was some fucked up shit, but that
was also life.
When Tori found out about us, I tried to play the shit off as much as
I could, but Diamond’s stupid ass had sent her pictures and videos of us
fucking. I wanted to beat her ass, but it wasn’t shit I could do. When I found
out she was pregnant, I just knew she would come back to me. That was
another let down because she still wasn’t thinking about my ass. Now I was
stuck waiting on some fuck ass test results all because she wanted to be a
hoe.
My nuts tightening caused me to come back to reality. I closed my
eyes and imagined it was Tori who was riding my dick and busted the
biggest nut I ever had in my life.
“Gah damn, Tori,” I moaned out load as my toes curled.
Slap!
“The fuck, nigga?” Diamond slapped the shit out of me before
hopping off my dick, causing me to nut on myself. “Did you just call me
that bitch’s name…again?”
She was swinging at me all wildly as I tried to block her the best I
could. Once I got my strength back from the nut I just busted, I pinned her
ass down on the bed.
“Man, chill the fuck out!” I growled.
 I had her hands pinned over her head with my dick resting on her
stomach since I was straddling her to keep her from hitting me.
“Get the fuck off of me, Von! I fucking hate you,” she cried.
Feeling like shit, I got up. As soon as I let her go and got up, she
kneed me in my nuts.
“Ahhh, fuck,” I groaned in agony. I wanted to beat this bitch’s ass so
badly, but I couldn’t fucking move if I wanted to. I felt all the damn air
leave my body.
I heard her moving around the room when my phone dinged. I was
in too much pain to move, but she took her nosy ass to the dresser and
picked it up. If it was one of my bitches, I knew she would try to fight me
again and right now, she would win.
“Ha! Good for your dog ass. That’s why Leah ain’t yours, nigga!”
She laughed and threw my phone at me, hitting me in the chest.
When I picked it up, I saw the email from the doctor’s office and the
probability of me being Leah’s biological father read there were 0 percent
of genetic markers between me and Leah, and I could be excluded from
being her biological father. I felt my fucking blood boil.
“Fuck!” I threw my phone against the wall before getting up and
throwing some clothes on. This hoe ass bitch was going to have to see me.
Grabbing my keys, I dashed out of the house with Diamond hot on
my trail.
“Where are you going?” she yelled.
“Man, get back in the house and leave me the fuck alone, bro!” I
wasn’t about to sit here and go back and forth with her ass.
Hopping in my car, I did the dash all the way to Tori’s house. When
I pulled into the driveway, I saw Khaotic’s truck. That only infuriated me
even more. Getting out of my car, I stalked to Tori’s front door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Tori, open this muthafuckin’ door ’fore I kick this bitch in!”
I knocked on her door like I had a fucking warrant. I knew this bitch
and that bitch ass nigga heard me. I was about to start beating on it again
when Khaotic snatched it open, shirtless and a grimace on his face.
 “Give me a reason not to blow your shit back.”
I looked at this nigga and got pissed all over again because this
nigga looked like he was just fucking my bitch.
“Nigga, get the fuck out my way. The fuck Tori at?” I snapped,
trying to push past him, but he blocked my path with his gun in his hand.
He hadn’t pointed it at me yet, but the shit was still by his side. When I tried
to push past him again, he came across the side of my face with the butt of
his gun. At least, that’s what I thought it was until I realized the nigga was
hitting me with his fists.
“Pussy ass nigga! I told you to stay the fuck away from my bitch!”
he roared as he delivered blow after blow. I was trying my best to keep up,
but this nigga had gotten bigger and stronger while he was in prison. I
wasn’t no lil’ nigga, but this nigga was built like a beast.
“Ajoni! Fuck him and get back in here before they call the police!” I
heard Tori say before that nigga halted his assault. I had never been so
thankful in my life. I was kicking myself for not having my gun on me.
Once I started to get up off the ground, this nigga kicked me in the
stomach, making me bow over in pain.
“Don’t bring your bitch ass back over here again, nigga. That was
the last fucking time I repeated myself. That was one too many times for
me, anyway. You a lucky nigga I’on wanna show her that side of me or
they’d be identifying your fucking brain fragments right now. Get the fuck
on before I change my fucking mind.” He grit.
This time when I got up, I managed to get into my car without any
issue from that nigga or Tori. As I drove away, I noticed how the both of
them mugged me before retreating back into the house. My blood boiled,
knowing that she was about to cater to that nigga and probably fuck him. I
was going to make the both of them pay for that shit. I put that shit on my
pops.

 Chapter Thirteen
Khatori
I stood behind Khaotic as I watched Von leave. I knew he would be
up to some shit, so I would make sure that I stayed on my square.
“Go back in the house,” Khaotic ordered when he turned around and
saw that I was standing behind him.
Rolling my eyes, I went back inside and plopped down on the
couch. I should’ve known that this situation could’ve gotten messy, but
damn, he needed to get over the shit. It’s not like I cheated on his stupid ass.
I had my head in my hands, so I didn’t see Khaotic when he sat down by
me, but I felt him.
“Hold your head up, mama. Don’t let that nigga make you feel like
shit,” he said as he pried my hands open. When I looked at him, he saw the
tears in my eyes and pulled me back into his lap.
“Wassup? Talk to me.”
Turning my face so that I was looking him in his face, I took a deep
breath before I started talking.
“I feel bad that my daughter might be affected by this. I’m not upset
about JaVon at all. I just know that he might try to get into Leah’s head and
make her turn against me,” I cried.
He let me get it out before he dried my face.
“You done now?” he asked.
I nodded.
“Good, because make that the last time you cry over this shit.
What’s done is done and it ain’t shit that none of us can do about it. Would I
change any of it? Hell nah. The only thing I would change if I could is me
being away from y’all for the last five years. Other than that, I wouldn’t
trade you or our daughter for shit. She’s not a mistake at all. She’s just what
the both of us needed. Especially a nigga like me. Shit, she is exactly what I
needed. I didn’t even know I was a father, but Pria’s selfish ass took the shit
from me before I knew anything about it. At the same time, I was creating
that beautiful little girl with you. So, I’d say that a nigga won.” he smiled.
“I guess you’re right. I was just in my feelings because that
muthafucka messed up my nut.” We shared a laugh.
“I mean, I can still help you with that.” I looked at the time and my
phone and tried to decipher if I had time to get in a quick one.
“Call Mesha and tell her to take baby girl for some ice cream or
some shit. I’ll give her the money back when she gets here,” he offered.
I contemplated on whether I should or not whether I should or not,
but when he slipped his hands into the back of my shorts and squeezed my
butt, my mind was made up. Picking up my phone, I dialed Mesha’s
number.
“I’m almost to the school, Tori. Damn,” she fussed as soon as the
call connected, causing me to laugh because I had a bad habit of calling her
when it was time for her to go and pick up Leah.
“That’s not why I’m calling. Can you take Leah to get ice cream or
something before bringing her home?” I asked.
I heard her laugh before she responded.
“Bitch, you nasty. You and Khaotic must be celebrating,” she
giggled.
“That’s exactly what it is, sis. Do me this solid, and I got you when
you get here,” Khaotic inputted.
“Well, okay then. I’ll keep her occupied for a about two hours. Is
that long enough?” she inquired.
“That’s straight,” Khaotic answered before I could.
“Nasty asses,” she laughed. “I’ll see y’all later.”
I hung up without even saying anything because Khaotic had carried
me to my bedroom and had his face buried between my legs, slurping up
my pussy like he hated it. If this is what having him as a baby daddy
entailed, I’d gladly take it.

∞∞∞
 By the time Mesha brought Leah home, Khaotic had made me cum
countless times and all I wanted to do was go to sleep, but I needed to stay
up so we could talk to her. We were in the living room when I heard the
doorbell ring. When I walked to see who it was, it was Mesha.
“Hey mommy!” Leah spoke as she sprinted past me.
“I saw you still had company and didn’t to walk in on Leah getting
another sibling,” she whispered.
“Bitch,” I laughed as I walked into the living room to see Leah
sitting by Khaotic, showing him what she did in school today.
“LeLe, what’s this?” I asked as I took a seat on the other side of her.
“It’s a picture of what I want to be when I grow up,” she boasted.
“Ooh, let me see.”
She passed me the paper, and I was confused. My baby may have
been smart, but her artistic gene hadn’t kicked in yet.
“What is it, baby?” I asked.
“It’s a baby doctor,” she replied. “See, that’s me and that’s the
baby.” She pointed out.
“Oh, I see it now,” I confirmed.
“Do you like it, Joni?” She turned to Khaotic and asked. He looked
up at me and I nodded.
“I love it, baby girl,” he said, and she blushed.
“Uhm. Let me go,” Mesha said, already standing.
“I’ll walk you out.”
I got up to walk my sister outside to her car.
“Y’all about to tell her now?” she asked as soon as we were in front
of her car.
“Yeah, but bitch. Von came over here and showed his natural black
ass and Khaotic beat the fuck out of him,” I told.
“I know you lying. Wait. Khaotic doesn’t look like he’s been in a
fight.”
“Exactly. He beat the fuck out of Von’s simple ass. Hell, I wanted to
beat his ass too because I was in the middle of getting some dick.” I was
getting mad all over again just thinking about it.
“Well, I kept Leah long enough to make up for that. Now go in there
and talk to her and let me know how it went.” I said goodbye to my sister,
then headed back inside of the house where I saw Leah showing Khaotic
some of her toys. She looked excited to share her things with him.
“LeLe, baby. I need to talk to you,” I started.
“What mommy?” she asked.
“Uhm, how would you feel if I told you Joni was your daddy?” I
asked. Her little face frowned up at my question.
“You mean like Jasmine’s other daddy?” she asked.
Khaotic gave me a confused look.
“No, not like Jasmine’s daddy. Jasmine has a stepdaddy because her
mama married somebody who wasn’t her daddy. I’m talking about like a
real daddy,” I explained.
She looked at me, then Khaotic, before turning her attention back to
me.
“What about Von?” she asked.
“Von is Joni’s cousin. He was just helping me with you until your
daddy came back.”
“Where were you?”
I looked at Khaotic to see if he was comfortable answering the
question.
“I-uh. I was away at work, but I’m back now. You cool with that?”
“Is that why you have hair like me? Because you’re my daddy?” she
asked innocently.
“I guess so, huh?” he smiled.
When she turned around and hugged him, that melted my heart.
“Okay daddy, come on, let me show you my room so you can know
where it is.” She jumped up and grabbed him by his hand and pulled at his
arm until he got up and followed her down the hallway. While they were in
her room, I took the opportunity to go into the kitchen to fix myself a drink.
I heard my phone ding on the counter, so I put my glass down to see who it
was. It was probably Mesha letting me know she made it home or being
nosy. When I picked it up, I got pissed reading the message.
Von: That nigga ain’t gon’ always be around.
Von: Wait till I see you, bitch.
Von: I’m gon make you hate me.
Von: You not taking my daughter from me Tori.
Von: I’ll kill you before you do that shit.
“Block that nigga and go pack y’all some shit so you can come
home with me.”
I jumped because I didn’t hear Khaotic come behind me.
“Shit, you scared me,” I breathed out.
“My bad, but I’m serious. Go pack up some stuff. Y’all not staying
here like that while that nigga on the loose like that. I got some shit to
handle and can’t be here. My house is safer, because that nigga doesn’t
know where I live. Even if he did, he ain’t stupid.”
“He’s just talking shit. We’ll be fine,” I countered.
“I wasn’t asking you, shorty. Go get you and Leah some stuff so I
can take y’all home with me.” The stern tone let me know that he wasn’t
playing. Rolling my eyes, I tried walking around him, but he caught my
arm.
“Gimme kiss.”
Complying, I leaned up and kissed his lips before I went to the back
to get me and Leah bags packed. I wasn’t used to this kind of structure, but
as long as my daughter was good, I guess I could deal with his bossy ass.
He better glad his dick good.

 Chapter Fourteen
Khaotic
While I waited for Tori to go pack some things for her and my baby
girl, I made a call to my brother.
“Yerr,” he answered.
“You moving ’round?” I asked as soon as he answered.
“Something like that. Wassup? You straight?”
“I’m good. Waiting for Tori and my baby girl to get some shit so I
can take them to the house. I need you to meet me back at the club,” I
stated.
“Oh shit! Nigga, I got a niece?” I could hear the smile in his voice.
“Hell, yeah.” I shared the same sentiment. “That nigga Von came
over here and showed his ass, and I had to hand it to him. You already know
how that goes, so I’m bringing them with me,” I informed my brother of my
moves.
“I feel that. I’ll just meet y’all over there. I want to meet niece.”
“Aight. I’ll be there shortly.”
“Bet.”
We hung up right when Tori and Leah came back up front with their
bags.
“Daddy, we’re ready!” Leah announced, animated as hell. Hearing
her call me daddy did some shit to me that I couldn’t even explain.
“I see. Let daddy get those bags and you and mommy stay here until
I go put these bags in my truck, okay?”
“Okay, Daddy!”
I looked at Tori, and she smirked. I noticed that she changed into
leggings and a shirt since she knew we would be going around GiGi. Once I
put their things in the back of my truck and went back inside to retrieve
them.
“Y’all ready?” I asked.
“Yes,” Tori answered.
“Aight, y’all come on.”
I turned around and picked Leah up and she happily obliged and got
comfortable in my arms.
“Ajoni, she can walk,” Tori mentioned.
“And so can you and I. What’s your point?” I frowned.
“Nothing. Absolutely nothing,” she countered.
“Thought so.” I slapped her butt as she walked ahead of me. The
action caused Leah to laugh.
“Mommy, you got a spanking,” she giggled.
Tori cut her eyes at me, but it wasn’t shit she could do. I went to the
back passenger seat first so that I could put Leah in the new seat that I
brought.
“When did you get that?” Tori asked.
“Had it a few days,” I admitted. “I told you it didn’t matter what he
found out today. I was gon’ be here all the way. That’s aight with you?” I
turned around and asked after making sure Leah was secured.
“It’s fine, Ajoni,” she confessed.
I kissed her lips before helping her inside of the truck and securing
her. It took about twenty minutes to get to my house and Leah talked the
whole way, asking questions about her new family. When we got there, I
helped them out before heading inside with Leah once again in my arms.
I’d come back and get their bags later.
When we walked in, everyone was sitting around the living room
with stupid ass grins on their faces. I guess the sudden burst of attention
caused my baby girl to shy away because she buried her face in my chest.
“Damn, y’all look creepy as fuck sitting there like that,” I joked.
“Joni, don’t make me beat your ass in front of that baby,” GiGi
fussed. “Now, bring me that baby so I can see her.” Shaking my head, I
walked towards GiGi and handed Leah over. She went with no hesitation. I
took a seat in the opposite chair, pulling Tori with me.
“Well, ain’t you the prettiest little thing,” GiGi cooed, looking over
Leah. “Joni, you should’ve brought this chile here first. I could’ve saved
you some money.”
“Why you say that?” I asked.
“Because she looks just like Kat,” Ma Pat announced. Her
revelation caused me to frown because I never noticed it. Now that they’ve
said something, she does.
“Aww, hell. Bro, you better keep a close eye on her then and pray
she doesn’t act like her,” Tae’s stupid ass said.
“Now why would you say that?” Rah fussed. “Pay him no mind.
Tori, this is my mama, Pat and my son AJ.” Rasheeda introduced her
people.
“Dang, Unc. How you get a lady that fine?” AJ joked.
“Lil’ nigga. You wish you could bag a girl as fine as mine.”
“He don’t need to be looking for no kinda girl,” Rah fussed.
“Man, Ma,” he groaned.
“What’s your name?” Leah asked AJ.
“AJ,” he responded.
“Leah, that’s your big brother,” I announced.
“Really?” Her little face lit up.
“Yeah,” I laughed as she got off of GiGi’s lap and went to sit by AJ
on the floor.
“Can you fight?” she asked, making all of us laugh.
“Yeah, why? You gon’ be beating on me?” he quizzed.
“No.” She shook her head, making her beads click together. “I want
you to come to my class and be up Marcus. He’s always pulling my hair,”
she tattled. When she said that, all three of our faces frowned.
“Oh word? I got you, okay?” She smiled and nodded at his
statement.
 “Aye, you tell that lil’ nigga that your uncle gon’ meet him at the
monkey bars at recess since he can’t keep his hands to himself,” Tae input.
“You’re my uncle?” she asked, going to him next.
“I am, and I’ll fuck some shit up behind you, too. Make sure you tell
Marcus lil’ ass that, aight,” he said.
“Jontae! Make me bust yo’ ass nii!” GiGi fussed.
“Give me this baby before she gets caught in the crossfire.” Ma Pat
took Leah from Tae’s stupid ass. “I’m your Gramma Pat. Please don’t
follow your uncle up or you’ll get in trouble with him.” Leah only laughed.
“Ms. Rah, are you my auntie now?” she asked.
“I sure am, and when your mama and daddy tell you no, you just
come to me, okay?” Rah smirked, and Leah laughed.
“Leah, it’s almost time for bed,” Tori announced.
“Let her rock out. It’s Friday, and she has a new family to get to
know. She can jump back into her routine tomorrow night. I promise.” I
knew I was pushing it, but she was having fun with everybody, and
knowing GiGi, she was about to whip up something sweet.
“Ajoni,” she called my name sternly.
“One night, baby.”
After doing her signature eye roll, she conceded and gave in.
“Come with me real quick.”
She gave me a look.
“I’m not on that. I just want to talk to you in private,” I assured,
standing up.
Reluctantly, she stood with me.
“AJ, go get their bags for me.”
I escorted Tori through the living room and up the stairs to my
bedroom, where we could have some privacy. Once I closed the door
behind us, I pulled her body close to mine and kissed her neck, then lips.
“You good?” I asked, bringing her to the bed with me.
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m glad that Leah adjusted so good, but please don’t
go to that school bothering that little boy,” she warned.
 “Shiiiit, I’m gon’ be there bright and early Monday morning. Fuck
you mean?”
“Joni,” she called sternly.
“I’m fucking with you. But check it. I wanted to let you know some
shit. The club that we met in, and the one where I had my welcome home
party at. I own it. I didn’t tell you upfront because I didn’t know what was
gon’ happen with us. I’m telling you now because You’re here and I gotta
run by there with Tae. You gon’ be good while I’m gone? Rah will stay with
you until I get back, if that’ll make you more comfortable.”
“I’ll be fine. Are you going to be gone long?” she asked.
“Not sure. It’s Friday night but I’ll try not to be. I’ll being your bags
up but everything else you need will be in the bathroom over there.” I
nodded toward the bathroom. “Leah’s room is down the hall. It has a
connected bathroom as well. It has everything she needs in it. If you need
anything before I get back, just call me, aight.”
“Okay,” she complied.
“Bet, now gimme a kiss.”
Once I got my kiss, we went back downstairs so I could take their
bags back upstairs before I left. The quicker I left, the quicker I could get
back.
When we pulled up to the club, the shit was packed as hell already
and I loved to see it. The bigger the crowd, the more money that was in the
building. After dapping up the Bono, the bouncer, Tae, followed me upstairs
to my office. Once we were inside, he lit up the blunt that he was holding
before passing it to me.
“So, wassup with that nigga Von?” he asked, pouring himself a shot
of Hennessy.
I ran down the whole scenario that happened earlier at Tori’s. By the
time I was done, my brother was ready to go kick in his mama’s door.
“Nah, leave her out of it. That nigga ain’t fucking stupid, but I still
don’t trust them to stay there by themselves right now,” I voiced. Shit, if it
were up to me, they would move in with me right now, but I knew Tori
wasn’t going to go for that shit.
 “Shit, just let me know what you need me to do, and I got you,” Tae
offered.
“Just keep your eyes and ears open right now. He might be low for a
minute because he thinks I’m looking for his ass.” He nodded in
confirmation before getting up to answer his phone. While he handled his
call, I stepped out to go check in with Marcel to make sure everything was
running smoothly before I left and went back home with my girl and kid.
When I made it down the stairs, I ran into the last muthafucka I wanted to
see.
“Aye, watch out.” I moved Pria out my way because she was trying
to put her hands on me.
“Joni, can we talk? Please?” she begged.
“The fuck we got to talk about Pria? Ain’t shit that you can say that
will make me forgive you for the bullshit you did.” I looked down at her
with a frown so she could see how disgusted I was with her ass.
“Not even this?”
She gripped my dick and started to descend to her knees, but I
caught her wrist and tried to break that muthafucka off.
“I don’t know if you’re slow or just dumb as fuck, but I told you I’m
good off you. Don’t bring yo’ ass ’round me again. Matter fact, don’t bring
yo’ ass in here again. If I see you, your picture gon’ end up on that bulletin
board that they have in the front of Wal-Mart. The fuck out my face, Pria,” I
snarled, pushing her away from me. Tae was rounding the corner just as
Pria hit the wall.
“I would’ve put your head through that muthafucka,” he snapped as
he got closer. “You ready, bro?” He turned to look at me.
“Yeah. I’m ready to get back to my girl and my kid,” I said, looking
at Pria. When I mentioned a kid, I saw the shock flashed through her eyes.
Shit, it could’ve been her, but she wanted to be a selfish bitch and return it
to sender. Now she had to deal with seeing me move on with my family.
After making sure everything was straight, I headed back home.
When I got there, GiGi was in the bed while Rah and Tori were out back
smoking and drinking.
 “Damn, y’all been in both my damn stashes?” I joked as I leaned
down and kissed Tori.
“And did,” Rasheeda declared.
“Man, Rah. Stay out my shit. I know that’s not all you got either.”
All she did was shrug her shoulders.
“Where’s my baby?” I asked Tori. Her eyes were low as hell, so I
knew she was good and high.
“Upstairs with AJ. He couldn’t move a step without her tonight, so
after her bath she asked him to stay in the room with her,” she revealed.
I nodded.
“Rah, you staying.”
“Yeah, I’ve had too many damn drinks.”
“I know. I wasn’t asking.”
She rolled her eyes and Tori laughed as I pulled her up and escorted
her upstairs to my room. I let her go inside before I went down the hallway
to check on Leah.
When I went into the room, they had the LED lights that Rah hung
up on and she was sleeping, laying on AJ while he had his phone in his
hand.
“Nigga, who you on the phone with this time of night?” I asked.
“Chill, Pops. This my girl, Qaina. Qaina say hey to my pops.” He
turned the camera around and I saw a girl that looked older than any
thirteen.
“Aye, how old are you?” I asked her.
“I’m thirteen,” she replied.
“Oh, aight,” I responded before turning my attention to AJ. “How
long she been asleep?”
“About an hour.” I saw him press a button on his phone. “Aye,
having a lil’ sister gon’ be sweet. She done convinced Qai to come see us.”
he smirked.
“Don’t be using her for that shit, nigga, and be fucking careful,” I
warned. “You staying in here with her?”
 “Probably. She might get scared.”
“Aight. Come get me if you need me but knock first.” I smirked.
“Man, Pops.” He frowned.
Laughing, I went back into my room, where I heard the shower
running. Quickly, I locked the door and stripped down before heading
inside to join Tori. We locked eyes as soon as I walked into the bathroom.
She slid the shower door back to let me inside and I didn’t hesitate to pick
up her and shove my tongue down her throat.
“Mmm,” she moaned into my mouth.
I backed up until I was in front of the shower bench that lined the
wall. Sitting down, I brought Tori down on my dick at the same time.
“Fuck,” I groaned as she hit the base.
Slap!
“You know what to do. Get that shit,” I demanded.
I gripped her hips as she rode my dick with purpose and precision.
The feeling of her tight walls made my fucking toes curl so tight I was
trying to grip the tile.
“Shit, mama. Fuck!” I grit.
I looked down and watched the magic that we created, and that was
enough to start slamming her onto my dick.
“Oh, Gawd, Khaotic!” she yelled.
Since she summoned that nigga, I was going to give her just what
she wanted. Standing up, I turned her around and propped one of her legs
up on the bench before bending her over and sliding back inside. I didn’t
take my time or anything. I was going to straight fuck her soul out.
Gripping her hair with one hand and the other on her hip, I started
drilling into her with so much force I know the tiles were shaking.
“Ahhh! Shit, Joni, slow down,” she whined.
“Oh, It’s Joni now? It was Khaotic a few minutes ago. I thought you
wanted that nigga,” I taunted.
“Ughn,” she whimpered.
Slap!
 “Throw that shit back,” I growled.
I felt my nut building, so my pace picked up, causing Tori to try to
run.
“Uh uh. Bring that ass back here and take this dick. You asked for it,
so take it,” I demanded.
“Ba-shit!” she yelped as she squirted all over my thighs.
“Damn right. Let that shit go. Fuck,” I groaned.
Gripping the front of her neck, I pulled her up so that her back was
rested against my chest and my free hand strumming her clit as I pummeled
her pussy into submission as I came hard and strong as fuck.
“Ahh…sh…fuuck!” I moaned loud as fuck.
I stood still a few seconds before I slid out of her. When I took my
arm from around her, she almost fell had I not caught her.
“See what summoning that nigga gets you. Make this a lesson
learned.” I leaned down and kissed her passionately, igniting another round
before getting out and finally going to bed. This was the type of shit a nigga
could get used to.

 Chapter Fifteen
Khatori
A few weeks later…
Things between Khaotic were going well. Surprisingly, he’s stepped
into his daddy bag with Leah with no hesitation at all. I guess it’s because
he had so much practice with AJ that deemed him a natural. Whatever it
was, I was appreciative. He always got up and took Leah to school and
picked her up, unless he had something to do that he couldn’t get out of.
Even then, he always compensated whoever it was that picked her up. They
had regular daddy-daughter dates that they refused to let me be a part of,
but I wasn’t tripping since we had regular date nights and family nights.
This is my first genuine relationship that I felt appreciated. I’ve been with
other men after I broke up with JaVon but never a relationship. I didn’t want
to go that route again because I knew I would probably end up killing the
next man that tried me. Contrary to what I first thought about Khaotic, he
was the total opposite, and I loved that for me.
It was like he was thinking about me the same way that I was
thinking about him because my phone went off and it was a text message
from him.
Joni: Hey beautiful. You might be busy, and I didn’t want to interrupt
that, but I just wanted to let you know that I can’t make lunch today, but
I’ll be done with my business in time to still pick my baby up from school.
I simpered at his message because he was very vocal and attentive. I
never had to second guess or question shit when it came to him. Niggas
these days were like unsolved mysteries and I ain’t got time for that shit.
Me: It’s okay. You know me and Rah will be fine without you. I’ll
see you and Leah when I get off.
Joni: I can’t wait (smirking emoji).
Joni: Sent $300
 Joni: Lunch still on Daddy (winking emoji).
Smirking at his gesture, I replied…
Me: Thank you Daddy (tongue out emoji).
Joni: I want that shit out just like that when I see you.
Me: I got you.
“You and my cousin finished sexting yet?” Rasheeda came into my
office and sat down in front of my desk like she always did.
“Ain’t nobody sexting. He was just telling that he couldn’t make
lunch today, but he did send the money to pay for it,” I revealed.
“Good. I ain’t never seen this much of his ass before. We can
survive without him for a day. Call Mesha and tell her to meet us and let’s
make it a girl’s lunch date,” she suggested. That wasn’t a bad idea because
I’m pretty sure Mesha was home bored out of her damn mind.
“Okay, I’ll have her meet us at the restaurant instead of coming here.
That way, she can already have the table.”
Nodding, she got up to finish up her work while I called Mesha. She
must’ve been sitting by the phone because she answered on the first ring.
“Damn, you must me watching the phone,” I joked.
“I was just about to text your ass to see what y’all was doing for
lunch. I’m bored and I’m hungry,” she confessed.
“That’s exactly why I’m calling. You want to meet me and Rah for
lunch? It’s on Khaotic,” I informed.
“You had me when I didn’t have to pay.” She laughed. “I love my
new brother-in-law,” she confirmed.
“Bitch, please.” I laughed. “We’ll leave here in about thirty minutes.
You should be there and have a table by then.”
“Okay, I’ll leave here in about ten minutes. See y’all hoes later.”
After confirming that Mesha would be joining us for lunch, I hung
up and finished the report and application that I had opened before it was
time for us to leave. I may have liked to show my ass, but I also took my
job seriously. I was considering taking classes online to receive my
Master’s now that I have the extra help with Leah.
 It took twenty of the thirty minutes for me to finish my work before
I shut my computer down and grabbed my purse and keys. When I walked
out of my office, Rasheeda was logging out of her computer as well. After
she grabbed her things, we were headed outside.
“Girl, I’m so damn hungry. Messing around with AJ this morning, I
forgot to grab my breakfast bar,” she fussed.
“Didn’t Khaotic pick him up?” I asked.
“Yeah, he did, but I had to make sure his ass was up and ready. He
stays up all night on the phone with that fast ass girl, so he oversleeps. I told
him I was going to take that damn phone from him, but of course, Joni
keeps saying ‘let nephew live’. He makes me sick.” She rolled her eyes.
“But poor Leah can’t be out of his eyesight for too long.” We both
shared a laugh as we approached my car, the same time a woman
approached us. I looked at her and noticed it was the same woman that I
saw at his welcome home party.
“Tori, is it?” she said as she approached me. Rasheeda snapped her
head in her direction when she heard her voice.
“Pria, get the fuck on before I repave this parking lot with your
trifling ass,” she threatened.
“I’m not talking to you, Rasheeda. You act like Ajoni is your man or
something,” she threw out.
“Bi—”
“Let her say whatever it is she has to say, Rah. That’ll depend on if I
knock her teeth in her ass or not.” Her eyes bucked when I said that. I’m
pretty sure she thought I was a scary type because I didn’t say much that
first night, but that was far from the truth. I had no right to say shit because
I didn’t know her ass, and I hadn’t seen that man in five years.
“I just wanted to come to you as a woman and let you know that I
was pregnant by Ajoni and he made me get rid of my baby,” she lied.
Shaking my head, I laughed at this hoe.
“You mean the baby you hid from him and then got rid of behind his
back? Bitch, please get out my face before I reunite you and that damn
baby,” I warned.
 “I just thought I would warn you before he makes you get rid of
yours,” she voiced.
“Okay, humor me. The fuck are you talking about? Our baby is
almost five years old, so if he makes me get rid of her, that’ll be murder.”
I saw the shock on her face when I said that our child was almost
five.
“Oh, I thought he meant you were pregnant when he said he had to
go home to his girl and kid. See, he let me suck his dick at the club a few
weeks ago and was about to fuck me, but I wouldn’t let him. That’s when
he mentioned you and a baby.” She smirked.
I kept on my game face, but I was ready to snatch her shit off, but I
didn’t want her to know that she got to me.
“Oh, well, that’s your dumb ass. You should’ve gotten the dick first.
That would’ve made more of a conversation piece.”
I left her stupid ass standing right there and got in my car. I was
quiet as hell because I was ready to go to that nigga and beat his big ass the
fuck up for playing with me. I was so zoned out that I didn’t even hear
Rasheeda calling my name until she touched me. I looked down at her hand
on my arm before dragging my eyes back up to her face.
“Don’t believe that bitch. All she does is lie. She’s just mad that Joni
ain’t thinking about her ass,” she defended.
“Look Rah. I don’t mean no harm when I say this, but I don’t give a
fuck about that right now. Your cousin is a nigga just like everybody else
and niggas always somewhere doing some nigga shit. I don’t want to talk
about it right now,” I said.
She looked like she wanted to protest, but she left it alone. We rode
the distance to the restaurant in silence because my mind was all over the
place. My phone was going off, so I knew she told his stupid ass, but I
didn’t want to talk to him right now. I wanted to let my feelings do
whatever the fuck they wanted to do. When I pulled up to the restaurant, I
found my sister at a table close to the front. As soon as the waiter came, I
ordered a shot of tequila.
“Damn, bitch. What the hell happened between leaving your job and
here?” Mesha asked, confused.
 “Rasheeda’s hoe ass cousin is what happened,” I snapped.
“Come on, Tori. I told you that bitch was lying. You need to talk to
Joni,” she pleaded.
“Fuck Khaotic.”
The waiter came back with my shot, and I threw that muthafucka
back like it was a prize at the bottom.
“What happened?” Mesha asked.
I gave her a rundown of what happened with Rasheeda filling in
certain blanks. When I was done, Mesha was giving me a crazy ass look.
“What?” I asked.
“So, you really about to believe this bitch over your nigga?” she
asked, seemingly surprised.
“Right now it’s fuck the both of them. Whether it’s true or not, the
nigga had to be around her and she knew about me and Leah.”
“But she thought you were pregnant,” Rasheeda argued.
“And? Do you want to walk back to work? I don’t care what she
thought or how she said it. All I know is that bitch was around my nigga,
and he failed to tell me the shit.” I snapped. I was sick of this conversation
already and was ready to go. I’d go pick my baby up from that nigga and go
back home. Fuck him and Pria’s hoe ass.
The rest of lunch was awkward, with Rasheeda and Mesha holding
their own conversation and me ignoring Khaotic. I knew he had a meeting
so he wouldn’t pop up. I just needed to get through the rest of the day so I
could go get my child and take my ass back to the house where I pay rent.
Fuck him.
Six o’clock was finally here and I couldn’t leave work fast enough. I
didn’t even tell anybody bye before I hauled ass to my car and headed
straight to Khaotic’s. I don’t know if Rasheeda was on her way there or not,
but I didn’t care about none of that. I already told her to stay out of it.
When I pulled up, I let myself in with the key that he gave me and
saw GiGi in the kitchen.
“Hey GiGi,” I spoke. I would never disrespect her, no matter how
much her grandson pissed me off.
 “Hey, baby. He’s in the back with Miss Bossy Pants.” I laughed
because she was absolutely right. Leah already had all of them wrapped
around my finger.
I trekked to the backyard and saw him outside putting together a
swing set that Leah had him order. The sight was definitely one to see but
fuck that right. Leah saw me before he did and took off running toward me.
She was careful to stay away from by the pool even though Khaotic took
measures to make sure that it was safe by putting up guard rails.
“Mommy! Look at my swing set Daddy got me. It’s big, huh?” she
rambled excitedly.
“It sure is. Go in the house with GiGi and wait for Mommy, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy! I’ll be back, Daddy!” she announced before taking
off into the house. Khaotic was already halfway to me. When he got close,
he tried to pull me into his sweaty embrace, but I shoved his ass away.
“Damn, baby. You don’t want me touching you now?” he asked
incredulously.
“Go touch that bitch, Pria. Better yet, let her suck your dick again,” I
snapped, shoving his ass.
Swiping his thumb across his nose, he looked at me with dark eyes.
The average bitch would be scared but not me. I was tired of these niggas
trying to play me. He quickly closed the gap between us and gripped my
jaws tight as hell.
Looking down into my face with evil in his eyes, he said, “I thought
I asked you not to put your hands on me, Tori?” he grit, eyes now in narrow
slits.
“And I thought I said fuck you, nigga. Dirty dick ass just like your
bitch ass cousin.” I mushed his head with the palm of my hand, and he
immediately let me go.
“Bi—”
“Ajoni!” I heard GiGi yell. She didn’t have to stop him because I
would’ve worn his big ass in this backyard.
“Get yo’ simple ass on before I break yo’ fucking jaw, bro.” He
growled.
“Glady, bitch ass nigga.”
 Rolling my eyes, I stomped into the house to get my baby so we
could go.
“Leah, come on. Let’s go!” I snapped.
“Don’t fucking yell and her. Better yet, leave her here until you calm
the fuck down.” I looked and Khaotic was now walking in the house and
headed straight toward Leah to pick her up.
Rolling my eyes again, I walked back to the front door and left.
Fuck Khaotic.
Instead of going straight home, I went to get something to eat. I
barely ate at lunch, and I was starving. I decided to get something from
LongHorn. I had a taste for their corn, so I placed my order online so I
wouldn’t have to wait long. Once I got my food, I headed straight home. I’ll
deal with whatever Khaotic had going on later.
On the way home, Mesha called. I know she wanted to see how I
handled things with Khaotic. Against my better judgement, I answered.
“Hello?” I answered dryly.
“Why are you headed home, Tori?” she asked.
“Because I didn’t want to be around that stupid ass nigga, that’s
why.” I frowned and rolled my eyes like she could see me.
“You know you’re wrong, right? You could’ve heard that man out,”
she stated.
“Who’s side are you on?” I snapped.
“The side with some damn sense. Rah and Khaotic already told you
about that bitch, yet you still let her get in your head. You did exactly what
she wanted you to do. Get mad at that nigga so she could slime her way
back in,” she stated matter-of-factly.
“She said she sucked his dick. I know Khaotic likes to get his dick
sucked,” I countered.
“Shit, what nigga doesn’t? That doesn’t mean he let her do it. Don’t
be slow Tori. Khaotic isn’t Von, not by a long shot. You know I’m always
riding with you, but I’m gon’ always tell you when you’re wrong as hell,
too.”
I rolled my eyes because I hated that she was right.
 “Ugh, I’ll go back over there after I eat and shower,” I stated as I
pulled up in my yard.
I grabbed my food and purse and got out.
“You better because I know you did some crazy shit, so you’ll
probably be sucking dick for days.” She laughed.
“Shut up, bi—ahh!” I screamed as I was pushed inside my house.
“Tori!” I heard Mesha yell through the receiver.
“Shut the fuck up and get inside.”
I turned around and Von was standing in front of me, looking
deranged as fuck with a gun pointed at me.
What the fuck?

 Chapter Sixteen
JaVon
I’ve been watching Tori’s house for the past couple of days because
she eventually blocked me on her phone. When I popped up to her job, she
had me removed by security. Her parents even told me not to come back to
their house anymore. This was my last resort because I didn’t know where
that nigga Khaotic lived. I wasn’t taking my chances going over there,
anyway. I knew I wouldn’t be leaving. I’ve been coming here every day and
parking down the block at the empty house that was down the street. I had a
good view of her house, so I would be able to see when she came home.
I had been sitting here damn near all day and was getting hungry.
All I did was smoke and drink while I was in here waiting, but I needed
some actual food. Right when I was about to leave, I saw her pull up. I got
excited to see her finally pull up. My dick got hard at just the thought of
being able to lay eyes on her again. I might even get to fuck on her once
again, maybe this time getting her pregnant with my kid for real. My
thoughts were interrupted by Diamond’s ass calling me. I sent her ass to
voicemail and got out of the car. Quietly, I trekked across the street and up
the driveway. When I got close, I heard her on the phone talking to Mesha.
“You better because I know you did some crazy shit, so you’ll
probably be sucking dick for days.” I heard Mesha say.
That shit infuriated me to think that she was really sucking that
nigga’s dick and anything else. Letting my anger take over, I pushed her ass
into the house as soon as she had the door open.
“Shut up, bi—ahh!” she screamed as I pushed her inside of the
house.
“Tori!” I heard Mesha yell through the receiver.
“Shut the fuck up and get inside.”
 “Tori!” I heard Mesha yell again. This time, I snatched the phone
out of her hand and threw it against the wall.
“Von, what the fuck is wrong with you!” she yelled.
“You! You are what’s fucking wrong with me! I loved you, Tori! I
loved you!” I screamed, spit flying everywhere.
“Von, how could you have loved me and cheat on me, huh? That’s
all you did was cheat on me. I got tired of overlooking the shit, so you’re
mad at me for not sticking around?” I could tell she was getting mad
because her pretty ass face was balled up.
“You cheated on me with my cousin Tori! You’re not perfect either!”
“I never cheated on your stupid ass!” she yelled back. “I didn’t even
know the two of you were cousins. Hell, I didn’t even know him!” she tried
to reason, but I didn’t believe her ass.
“Then…then you let me raise his daughter like she was my own.
You played me.” When I said that her features softened.
“Look, I apologize for that. I never meant to hurt you in that way,
regardless of how many times you fucked over me. But, Von. Leah never
called you daddy. I never referred to you as such when I talked to her. Why
didn’t you question it, then” she asked.
She was right. Leah always called me Von. I let her do it because a
lot of kids called their parents by their names. I never thought it was
because she couldn’t be mine.
“Are you fucking him?” I had to ask, even though I’m pretty sure I
knew the answer.
“Excuse you? What I do and who I do it with is none of your
business,” she sassed.
“Answer me! Are you fucking him!”
“Yes! Yes, I’m fucking him! I’m fucking the shit out of him and
sucking his dick! That nigga fucks me so much I can spit out his nut! There,
are you happy now? You got the answers you wanted. Now get the fuck
out!” she snapped.
“Bitch, fuck you! I should kill yo’ hoe ass right here and let that
nigga find you. I think I’ll sample that pussy one last time first, though.
Make sure that nigga knows that I could still fuck his bitch just like I did
the last one.” The smirk that spread across my face at the revelation of what
I just said was enough to make my dick hard. I saw the fear flash across her
face.
“Von, just leave,” she pleaded.
“Nah, I’m not leaving until I get what I came for. Now stop fucking
playing with me, Tori.” I was already walking in her direction.
She had cornered herself to where she was now in the hallway. That
worked out perfectly for me because she had nowhere to go but the rooms
or bathroom. She took off running toward the first door she saw, which was
the bathroom, and tried to close herself inside, but I caught her leg and
made her fall.
“Oww,” she whimpered.
She was at a disadvantage, so I set my gun on the counter and
gripped her leg and yanked her back down before she could get away. I
should’ve knocked her ass out because I forgot how strong this bitch was.
“Stop fucking fighting it Tori,” I grit as I struggled with her.
“Get the fuck off of me!” She strained right as she kicked me in the
dick.
“Arghh…fuck! You stupid bitch!”
I quickly recovered and scrambled to my feet, only to be yanked
back and slammed into a nearby wall. When I realized it was Khaotic, I
knew I wasn’t leaving this muthafucka alive. He was definitely making his
promise of sending me to reunite with my pops, and that only made me hate
this nigga even more.

 Chapter Seventeen
Khaotic
“Boy, you’re dumb as hell! I don’t care what she did. You knew
better than to put your hands on that gah damn girl!” GiGi fussed as she
knocked the shit out of me. Rasheeda and AJ pulled up right after Tori left,
so she waited until AJ took Leah back outside before she went upside my
damn head.
“Gee, I didn’t even hit that girl, though. You ain’t gon’ say shit about
her mushing me in the face?” I was getting pissed off all over again because
Tori was the one on bullshit and I was stuck here getting fussed at about the
shit.
“She should’ve slapped the black off your ass,” she continued to
fuss.
“Man, whatever.” I started to walk off.
“Ajoni Brooks. Sit your black ass down!”
Huffing, I took a seat at the table and waited for GiGi to fuss at me
like I was a little ass kid.
“Now tell me what y’all problem is.”
“Rah texted me and said Pria popped up and told Tori that I made
her get rid of her baby so I would probably make her get rid of hers too.
Tori told her that our kid was almost five, then Pria said I let her suck my
dick at the club a few weeks ago,” I explained.
“Well, did you?” she asked.
“Man, I’m not about to talk about this with you,” I started to get up.
“Boy, sit your ass down and answer me. Ain’t nobody thinking
about your little dick. You forgot I live in the same house as you. That damn
gal be stroking your ego too much because I know it can’t be all that,” she
stated, causing me to frown.
 “Man, Gee,” I groaned. “But no, I didn’t let her do it. She grabbed
my shit, and I threw her ass into the wall.” I cut my eyes at her, fully
prepared for her to knock me in my shit.
“Did you tell Tori that?”
“You saw she wouldn’t let me. She came in here on her hood rat shit
and started putting her hands on me. She wouldn’t even let me explain.” I
was frustrated as fuck and this little talk wasn’t making it no better.
“Listen to me, Joni. She’s a woman and we’re emotional. She
probably believes you but was pissed that another woman confronted her
about her man. I know if somebody had approached me about your
granddaddy back in the day, I’d knock the hussy on her ass. Now, go talk to
that girl and do whatever it is that you do to make her blush the way she
does. Just don’t turn it into another baby.” GiGi smiled and walked out of
the kitchen, leaving me and Rah alone.
“Man, Rah, I fucked up,” I admitted.
“You did, but I agree with GiGi and go do whatever it is that needs
to be done.”
Dragging my hand down my face, I started to respond but my phone
rang in my pocket. Taking it out, I saw it was Mesha.
“Wassup people?” Tae came in the same time that I was answering
for Mesha.
“Wassup, Mesha?”
“Khaotic, I think something is happening to Tori. We were on the
phone when she got home, then I heard her scream right before saying
Von’s name.” I was already out of my seat and heading to my truck when
she said something was wrong.
“Aye, I’m on my way over there.”
“I’ll meet you.”
I didn’t even give her time to respond before I headed to my truck
with Tae and Rasheeda in tow.
“What’s going on?” Rasheeda asked as I headed toward my truck.
“Mesha said she was on the phone with Tori when she heard her
scream, then say that nigga Von’s name. I promise you; I’m killing that
nigga if he did anything to her.”
“Damn. Aye, I’ll drive. Rah stay here with GiGi and the kids,” Tae
ordered.
Not even arguing with this nigga, I got in the passenger seat as he
followed the navigation to Tori’s house.
“Sis, gon’ be straight, bro. That nigga ain’t stupid,” Tae voiced.
“Man, I shouldn’t have let her leave like that.” I swiped my hand
down my face. “Fuck!”
“This not on you. Y’all were both unstable when she left. She’s not
gon’ blame you for this shit.”
“I’ll blame myself if that nigga does some shit to her,” I declared.
When we got there, shit didn’t look abnormal. Her car was in the
driveway and her door was closed. I wasted no time hopping out when he
pulled into the driveway. I didn’t even wait for him to come to a complete
stop. When I walked in, I saw her phone shattered on the floor by a nearby
wall. I heard what sounded like a scuffle coming from down the hallway.
“Get the fuck off of me!” I heard her say.
“Arghh…fuck! You stupid bitch!”
Taking off in that direction, I caught Von’s bitch ass and slammed
him into the wall before he could put his hands on her again.
“Tori!” I heard Mesha yell from down the hallway.
“Baby, I’m sorry. Fuck! I’m sorry,” I apologized. “You okay?” I
asked, looking her over.
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“The fuck did you do to my sister?” I heard Mesha yell.
“Chill, shorty. She’s straight. Khaotic in there with her right now,” I
heard Tae inform her.
“Did he?” I started to ask.
“No, he tried, but I was going to beat his ass with everything in me.
Shit, I still am,” she fussed as I stood her up, then inspecting her body.
“Nah, you ain’t doing that because that nigga ain’t gon’ make it past
tonight,” I stated. I was pissed the fuck off at the fact that this nigga was
trying to take some shit that no longer belonged to him. I was even more
mad at myself for letting her leave, knowing he was a mad nigga on the
loose.
When I opened the bathroom door, the hallway was clear. When we
got up front, Mesha was sitting on the couch looking nervous as fuck. When
she saw us, she sprang up and grabbed her sister into a tight hug.
“Bitch, don’t you ever scare me like that again. Are you okay? Did
he do anything to you?” she asked as her eyes ran rampant over her sister’s.
“I’m fine. His bitch ass didn’t get a chance to do anything,” she
voiced.
I saw Mesha breathe a sigh of relief.
“Mesha, can you take her back to my house for me?”
“Where you going?” Tori asked.
I gave her a look to silently say what I couldn’t say out loud.
“I’m going too,” she mentioned.
“Nah. Let Mesha take you to the house.”
“Khaotic, I said I’m going with you,” she snapped.
Taking a deep breath, I pinched the bridge of my nose before
addressing her lil’ stubborn ass.
“Khatori. Can you please listen to me and let your sister take you
back to the house? I don’t need you more involved than you already are, so
for once, baby, can up you please listen to me?”
She stared at me for a few seconds before her features softened and
she complied.
I escorted her and Mesha to her car and fastened her in the seatbelt
before gripping the back of her neck and pressing my forehead against hers.
“I’ll be home as soon as I can. Aight?”
She looked like she wanted to protest, but she didn’t.
“Okay.”
“Where the keys to your car?”
I watched as she reached inside of her purse and handed me her
keys. Once I had them in my possession, I pressed my lips against hers and
looked at her one last time before shutting the door and trekking back to my
truck. I watched them pull out before I got in her car and pulled out with
Tae behind me. I was heading straight to the basement of my club, where I
handled all my dirty dealings. I didn’t have time to have any separate
buildings to keep up with. This shit worked well for me and there wasn’t a
way that anything to come back to me. The basement had a separate
entrance from the rest of the club, and the room that I used wasn’t visible
for anyone to see.
When we got close to the club, I traveled down the road that led to
the basement entrance. I parked Tori’s car off to the side while Tae parked
my truck closer to the door.
I unlocked the door while Tae got that stupid nigga out of the back
of the truck and dragged him inside.
“Nigga, hurry up and open that shit. This nigga heavy,” Tae fussed.
I ignored his ass and continued to press the code for the door to the
room to open.
Once we were inside, Tae dropped that nigga on the cold ass
concrete floor. The impact caused him to start groaning.
“Shut all that fucking whining up, nigga. Were you whining when
you violating my girl?” I snarled.
“Fu-fuck you!” I stammered. “She was mine first!”
“Yet, you ain’t know what the fuck to do with her. That’s okay
though. I appreciate the fumble. Her pussy was made for a nigga like me,
anyway.” I smirked.
“You thought the same shit about Pria, and that bitch was on my
dick every chance she got.” He laughed.
Me and Tae looked at each other before we busted out laughing.
“Nigga, you think I give a fuck about that bitch? She deserved a
pussy ass nigga like you. Don’t worry, if she approaches my woman again,
I’ll be sure to send her to hell with you.”
I wasn’t about to go back and forth with this nigga. Picking up my
machete, I sliced this nigga’s hands off, since he liked to touch shit that
doesn’t belong to him.
“Arghh!” he bellowed out in agony.
 “Nigga, it ain’t even hurt like that,” Tae’s stupid ass said. “All that
crying like a bitch.” I couldn’t do shit but laugh at this nigga because he
never knew how to be serious about shit.
Picking up my blow torch, I turned that muthafucka as high as it
would go. Without warning, I torched his ass until his cries died down and
he stopped fucking breathing.
“Drop that nigga off somewhere. I’ll give Auntie that much respect
to see her pussy ass grandson one last time. I need to get home to check on
my girl.”
After putting my materials up, Tae called up the cleanup crew. I
waited until they arrived and picked his ass up. I made sure to go show my
face at the club so it wouldn’t be an issue if they came sniffing around. Now
that I’ve eliminated the pain in my ass, I was going home to kiss my girl’s
ass…literally.

 Chapter Eighteen
Khatori
I rode silently in the passenger seat of Mesha’s car as I thought
about what Von could’ve done to me. No matter how much I disliked his
ass, I would’ve never thought he would try some shit like he attempted to
do tonight. As many bitches as he fucked behind my back, why was he so
stuck on me? I knew what Khaotic was going to do, and I didn’t feel bad for
him, not one bit. He should’ve thought about that shit before he came into
my home on some scorned black man shit.
“You okay over there?” Mesha asked as she drove the distance to
Khaotic’s house.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I still can’t believe that nigga, but I’m fine,” I
revealed honestly. “I’m just glad that I left Leah with Khaotic. It was no
telling what that fool would’ve done with my baby there and how it
would’ve affected her.”
“It was definitely a good thing she wasn’t there. Shit, could’ve been
a lot worse.”
Her phone started ringing, and I looked on the dashboard and saw
that it was our mama.
“Shit, I forgot I called her back. Hello?” she answered.
“You heard from Tori? Where is she? Where’s Leah? Are they
okay?” our mama rambled off question after question without even taking a
breath in between.
“Yes, mama. She’s fine. She’s right here and can hear you.”
“Tori?” she called out.
“Hey, Ma. I’m fine and Leah’s fine. She wasn’t with me. She’s still
at Ajoni’s house and I’m on my way back there now,” I informed her.
“I think y’all need to come here tonight. Where’s JaVon?”
 “I don’t know where he is, mama. We’ll be fine at Ajoni’s house,
Ma,” I assured her. I knew she was worried, but this isn’t Khaotic’s fault
and with him is the safest place that we could be.
“Khatori.”
“Ma, I promise we’re good.”
“Okay, but I expect to be meeting this man soon. He should’ve
bonded with Leah enough to meet her family by now,” she fussed.
“You will.”
“Okay, call me later.”
“I need to get a new phone, but I’ll call you as soon as I get it. Leah
has her iPad, though.”
“Okay, be safe, Tori. I love you.”
“I love you, too, Mama.”
The call disconnected as soon as we pulled up to Ajoni’s house.
Rasheeda was outside smoking when we pulled. When she saw it was me,
she jumped off of the porch and bolted in my direction.
“Thank God, you’re okay,” she hugged me tightly.
“I’m fine. Where’s Leah?” I asked.
“She’s upstairs with AJ. She doesn’t know anything. That’s why I
came outside. I didn’t want to upset her,” she informed me.
“Hey Mesha. I’m so glad she was on the phone with you when that
muthafucka was there.”
“Me too,” Mesha countered.
“Well, knowing Joni, he’s a dead muthafucka by now,” she stated.
“I want to go shower and find something to eat. That nigga made me
drop my damn food,” I fussed.
“GiGi cooked, so you’re good.”
Sighing, I went inside to shower so I could eat before laying down. I
wanted to get this day over with as quickly as possible.

∞∞∞
 After I showered and ate, I was tired as hell, so Mesha and Rasheeda
left. Once I made sure Leah was good, I went to Khaotic’s room. I don’t
know how long I was asleep, but when I woke up, he was walking into the
room in a pair of sweats, tank top, socks and slides. I smelled his body
wash, so I knew he had been in here to take a shower. He stalked toward the
bed as I sat up.
“How long you been here?” I asked.
“About an hour. I didn’t want to wake you, plus I needed to lay eyes
on my baby, but not before getting in the shower.”
He took his shirt off, followed by his sweats, and got in on his side
of the bed. Once he was settled, he pulled me into his chest and kissed the
top of my head.
“I’m sorry, Tori. I shouldn’t have made you leave like that, knowing
it was a good chance that nigga was still out there on his bullshit. This shit
is all on me. I don’t know what I would’ve done has he done some shit to
you.” I listened to him apologize and vent, but I couldn’t let him blame his
self for any of this.
Sitting up, I straddled his lap, so that I was able to look him directly
in his face. It was crazy how I was starting to see his features in Leah, that I
never saw before. They both had a row of light freckles spread under the
corner of their eyes. The same full lips and hair texture. She never wanted
scalp braids anymore. Once she saw that Khaotic wore his hair in individual
braids most of the time, that’s all she wanted. It was cute, especially since
he knew how to do it. She loved when her daddy did her hair.
“Joni, I don’t blame you. I should’ve listened to you. I let my
feelings and past experiences get the best of me, and I apologize. I
shouldn’t have put my hands on you, either. That was disrespectful and out
of line. You already told me about the situation with Pria, so I should’ve
expected her to try some bullshit, but I let my insecurities get the best of
me.” I apologized.
“You’re lucky I love yo’ ass or I would’ve drowned you in that
damn pool for mushing my face like that.” He frowned, causing me to laugh
until I realized that he said he loved me.
“Wait. You love me?” I questioned.
 “I loved you for five years now, shorty. It was destiny that brought
us back together. What were the odds of us linking up once and you get
pregnant with my baby? Then you and my cousin became good friends. I
say that the Universe was doing its big one because I knew back then you
were it for me. I just didn’t feel right about locking you down then because
I knew I was leaving. I prayed every morning and night that you were saved
for me. I guess it worked because look at us now.” he smirked.
I sat there and took his words in. He was right. I knew back then that
I wanted this man in my life and prayed that we crossed paths again. It
didn’t matter if Leah was his or not, I just knew I wanted this man in my
life. And now look. He’s the father of my child and the man that I’m in love
with.
“I love you, too, Joni,” I simpered.
I saw the moment his love for me intensify as he gripped the front of
my neck and brought me down to his level and kissed me with so much
passion; I felt it in my veins.
“Move in with me,” he mumbled against my lips.
“Huh?”
Without breaking the kiss, he flipped me over onto my back and
repeated, “Move in with me. You and Leah. I want us under one roof as a
family.”
The look in his eyes let me know that he was serious and there was
no way I could deny him of his request.
“O-ughn. Okay,” I moaned, since he was pushing inside of me as I
tried to answer.
This was what I always thought my relationship would be. A man
that loved me and our child and showed it through his actions and not just
his words. JaVon didn’t know how his fuck up changed my life for the
better. I guess I should’ve thanked the bastard.

 Chapter Nineteen
Khaotic
Some time later…
Having Tori and Leah home with me was like a breath of fresh air. I
woke up to my girl and kid every morning and went to bed buried deep
inside of my woman every night. There was no better way of living if you
asked me. Like now, I was getting Leah ready for school while her mama
got a few more minutes of sleep before she left for work. It was small
things like this that had me ready to lock this shit down with Tori and have
more kids.
I finished braiding the last ponytail in Leah’s hair, and we were now
ready to head downstairs to get breakfast. I knew GiGi already had her plate
ready.
“You forgot to do my edges, Daddy,” she fussed.
I looked at her hair and frowned because I didn’t know shit about no
edges.
“Baby girl. Daddy don’t know nothing about doing edges or baby
hair. I thought you said you wanted to rock it like mine?”
“I do!” she shrieked.
“Okay, then. Daddy doesn’t have his edges done. I go get mine
shaped up. So, if you do yours, then your hair won’t be like mine,” I
coerced.
“Can I get mine shaped up, too?” she asked.
“Nah. That ain’t for pretty girls like you. You and your hair are
perfect just the way you are.” I kissed her temple and assured her that she
was fine the way that she was. I wasn’t about to have my daughter out here
thinking she wasn’t pretty. Fuck that. My baby was the prettiest girl in the
world to me, and I made sure I told her that shit every day. She wouldn’t
grow up looking for attention from these niggas because she didn’t get it at
home.
Once I was done with her hair, I carried her downstairs and into the
kitchen where I knew GiGi would be. When I rounded the corner, I found
her making herself a cup of coffee.
“Morning, Gee,” I greeted with a kiss on the cheek.
“I done told you ’bout them lips,” she fussed.
“Good morning, GiGi! Is this for me?” Leah asked as I placed her in
the chair with a plate of mini pancakes, sausages and fruit were in front of
her.
“Morning, GiGi baby. It sure is yours. Don’t give that nappy headed
daddy of yours none either,” she joked.
“Damn, Gee. It’s like that? You ain’t fixed me nothing?” I frowned.
“I didn’t and curse again.”
“That’s messed up. Leah, you gon’ let Daddy get a pancake? Gee
wants me to starve and if I starve, I can’t take you to Build-A-Bear after
school.” I was laying it on think because I knew GiGi was playing with me.
I wanted to see how far my baby would go to look out for her ol’ man.
“Sorry, Daddy. GiGi said no, and she has a switch.” Her statement
made me and GiGi fall out laughing. I couldn’t even be mad. Hell, I knew
all about the switch and I still wanted no parts of that muthafucka.
I waited until Leah was finished before I cleaned her up again and
we left to take her to school. Once I dropped her off, I picked AJ up and
repeated the process. I wouldn’t trade shit like this for nothing in the world.
Being able to be present in my kids’ lives meant more to me than anything
else in the world. AJ lost his pops to the system, but I vowed to never let
him grow up not knowing how it felt to have one. The same goes for Leah.
She had that bitch nigga Von for a few years, but I could tell that their bond
was nothing like ours and it would forever be one that I cherished.
When I dropped AJ off, I stopped by Walmart since it was the only
thing open that carried flowers. I tried to get Tori a bouquet at least once a
week. After finding what I was looking for, I went to self-checkout since I
had no other choice but to do so; I paid for the flowers and headed back
home. When I got back, GiGi was now in the living room looking at TV.
 “Let me gon’ and turn this TV up now because you came back
bearing gifts. I know what that means.”
“Gee, you tripping. I’m just trying to do something nice for my
lady,” I countered.
“Mhmm, I bet,” was all she said.
I left GiGi sitting on the couch watching her show while I went
upstairs to catch Tori before she left for work. I knew I had a good hour that
I was working with, so I was going to make the best of it. When I walked
inside of the room, she was coming out of the walk-in closet with only her
bra and panties on and two different dresses in her hand. I had no intentions
of fucking on this girl, but I couldn’t help the way I was attracted to her.
She smiled when she saw me with the flowers in my hand.
“Those are pretty,” she simpered.
“Not as pretty as you.” I handed her the flowers and pulled her soft
body into mine at the same time. I couldn’t help to let my hands roam over
her thick frame as I stuck my face into her neck.
“Damn, you smell good,” I complimented.
“Thank you, baby.” She blushed.
“Come on and let me see if you taste as good.”
I was already walking her toward the bed as I spoke.
“Baby, I need to get dressed,” she whined.
“I know. I just wanna taste it before you go. That’s all.”
When the back of her legs hit the bed, I hovered over her and kissed
her lips before I trailed my kisses to her jawline, chin, and neck. I peppered
kisses on both of her breasts, slightly tweaking her nipples in the process
before venturing further. Pulling her soaked panties off, I rested on my
stomach as I threw one of her legs over my shoulder and spread the other
one out. The sight of her juices flowing already, and I haven’t touched her
yet made my mouth water. I eyed the slow stream that was flowing from her
center and before it could reach her asshole; I stuck out my tongue and
licked it up before slurping her pussy into my mouth.
“Mmmm,” she moaned, while gripping my head.
 I took my time French kissing her lower lips as she squirmed in my
hold. Her soft whimpers were driving me crazy.
Slurp…Slurp…Smack
I was feasting on my girl so good; I didn’t want to stop. I wish I
could bottle her fucking juices and douse that shit on my food like hot
sauce. Shit was just that good.
“Baby,” she whined.
“Hmm?” I moaned into her pussy.
The vibration caused her legs to start shaking, and her bottom half
started gyrating into my mouth. She gripped my head tighter, pushing me
further into her wetness. Sticking two fingers inside of her while I sucked
on her clit made her erupt like a volcano inside of my mouth. She soaked
my mouth and beard, and I wasn’t complaining, not one bit.
“Ahhh…. gawd!” She yelped as she rode the orgasmic wave I just
provided her. The shit tasted so good. I didn’t let up until she was cumming
again, this time successfully pushing my head away.
Standing up, I licked my lips as I admired my handy work. My dick
was hard as fuck right now, but this was about her. I’d handle my shit in the
shower once she left.
“How am I supposed to go to work after that?” she pouted.
“Easy. Come on. Get up.”
I pulled her up and took her to the bathroom to clean her up so she
could get dressed. Once she was done and ready, I walked her outside to her
car, strapped her in, and kissed her lips.
“I love you, shorty, and have a good day.” I kissed her lips again.
“I love you too,” she simpered.
I stayed in the driveway until she pulled out of the driveway before I
went back inside to shower and get ready for my day.
After Tori left, I went back upstairs to take a shower so I could head
out for the day. I had some shit to take care of today and I needed to get it
out the way. My first stop would be at the club. I was having Pria meet me
there. I wasn’t about to have her thinking she could keep approaching Tori
and not suffer any repercussions. I was only there about twenty minutes
before she pranced her ass through my office door. By the look on her face,
I knew she thought this was about to be a great visit, but that wasn’t the
case. I was about to ruin her entire day.
“Hey, baby,” she cooed as she strutted into my office.
“Sit down, Pria. I’on wanna be in here all day. I got other shit to
do.” The look on her face let me know that she wasn’t expecting that shit at
all, and I really didn’t give a fuck.
“What’s going on Joni? Why did you call me here? You’re ready to
forgive me?” she smirked.
I grilled this bitch hard as hell because she had to be stupid as fuck
to think that I was ever going to forgive her for the shit that she pulled. I’ll
never trust a bitch like that.
“You must be sucking dog dick if you think some shit like that. I
called you here to warn you not to approach Tori again with your bullshit.
Your lil’ antics almost cost me my girl and your life,” I warned.
“What do you mean cost me my life?” she pondered.
“It meant just what the fuck I said. Your bullshit caused an
argument, and she left. That nigga Von caught the both of us slipping and
almost violated my girl. The only reason you’re living is because I got there
in time. Had I not, you’d be sharing a plot with that nigga. I had love for
you once upon a time, but don’t push it. I’m in love with Tori, and I love
my daughter even more. Don’t make me have your people down at your
church organizing a fish fry. I’m trying to go about this the nice way,” I
warned.
“You’re threatening me over that bitch?”
“Nah. Absolutely not. I’m telling you what the fuck I’m going to do
if you try me again. The choice is left completely up to you, sweetheart.” I
smirked.
“And for the sake of all humanity, I hope your mad ass tries him so
we can rid the world of yet another useless individual,” Tae interjected as he
walked through the door. This nigga’s daddy had to really be a slow
muthafucka. You couldn’t convince me that he wasn’t.
I looked at Pria and she had tears streaming down her face, but that
shit didn’t phase me one bit. She caused all this shit on herself.
 “What’s so special about her?” she asked, wiping the tears from her
eyes.
“She has my heart, both figuratively and physically.”
Without another word, she stood up and left with her head hung low.
Hopefully she took heed of my warning because I would hate to kill her, but
I would do it without fucking blinking.
“Now that the soap opera is over. You ready, nigga?” Tae stood from
the spot that he was sitting and asked.
“Hell yeah.”
Grabbing my phone from the desk, I sent Tori a text.
Me: I love you (white heart emoji).
It was a simple text, but I felt like she needed to know what I was
feeling at this moment.
My Lil’ Baby: I love you more (white heart emoji).
Pocketing my phone, I looked at Tae and he had that stupid ass
smirk on his face.
“I’m happy for you, bro. Real shit,” he voiced.
“’Preciate that, bro.”

 Chapter Twenty
Khatori
After Khaotic finally met my mama and stepdaddy, they accepted
him immediately. Once he assured them that me and Leah were his key
priority, they were fine. Tonight, both families were coming together to our
home for dinner. GiGi and Ma Pat were home preparing dinner while me,
Mesha and Rasheeda came to get pedicures and manicures. I tried to stay at
home to help, but they weren’t having it, and neither was Khaotic. He said I
was doing too much as it is and deserved a day out without stressing over
work or Leah. As bad as I wanted to protest, I didn’t. It would’ve been
pointless to do so anyway.
“So, how does it feel to be happy and in love?” Mesha asked.
Simpering, I responded, “It feels great. It feels unbelievable not to
worry about what my man is doing and who he’s doing it with. I never have
to question him about his whereabouts or his motives. He’s big on showing
me what his words can’t express and bitch, I love that for me.” I smirked.
“I know that’s right. I’m so happy for you and my cousin. He was
with Pria for a minute, but I could tell that she was just familiar. That’s why
she stayed around so long. With you, he’s different,” Rasheeda confessed.
“Shit, she’s different too. When she was with Von, I couldn’t tell
who was the man in the relationship the way she used to carry that man like
a bitch.” We shared a laugh.
“That’s because he was.” I laughed.
“I love how he is with Leah, too. She had an okay relationship with
Von, but her face didn’t light up like it does when she sees Khaotic walk
through the door. They both have expressions that can make anybody’s
heart melt.”
“And don’t get her started about her big brother,” Rasheeda input.
“Baby, the two of them are a mess. He loves her to death already. I’m glad
you came around with her because that’s the closest thing he’s going to get
to a sibling out of me,” she laughed.
“That’s until her and Khaotic give them both another sibling.”
Mesha smirked.
“Please don’t speak that into existence because I swear I think he’s
trying to get me pregnant on purpose. He keeps saying that he missed
everything with Leah and wants to experience it all the next go around.”
“Go ahead and give my brousin another baby. Let GiGi tell it, y’all
get enough practice in.”
The first time GiGi said she could hear us, I almost died. I didn’t
want to have sex with him in the house anymore. He told me he wasn’t
going to be sneaking around and having sex in his own house like he was
some little ass boy, so he had our room soundproofed. That was the only
way that I would do anything or in the shower.
“Girl, I’m so glad he soundproofed the room, because I couldn’t
show my face for about a week.”
“Trust me. I know.”
We finished up our mani-pedi’s and went to the mall. I wanted to
grab some new lingerie for my man, even though he appreciated my
goodies however I presented them.
“It must be nice to still be able to dress up for your man. How do
you sleep at night knowing your man killed mine?”
I turned around and saw Diamond standing behind me with a stank
face. She had her arms crossed over her chest and looked a hot damn mess.
“Diamond, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if I were
you, I would get the fuck out of my face before you end up with your nigga,
since you miss him so much,” I snarled. This bitch had me fucked up if she
thought I was about to let her spew out those types of allegations, and in
public at that.
We stood in a stare off for a few seconds before she retreated and
took her mad ass on somewhere.
“That bitch got some nerve. She’s acting like JaVon was her man to
begin with.” Rasheeda sneered.
“Girl, fuck her and JaVon’s dead ass. I hope he’s rotting in hell.”
 We continued shopping before heading home. Mesha went back
home to get ready while me and Rasheeda went back to the home that I
shared with Khaotic. When we got there, Kat was there. She wasn’t my
favorite person, but I tolerated her out of respect.
“Hey, Rah. Tori,” she spoke when we got inside of the house.
“Hey Kat.”
“Hey,” Rasheeda and I spoke in unison.
When we got into the kitchen, GiGi, Ma Pat, and Leah were making
biscuits.
“Mommy, look. Gramma Pat showing me how to make biscuits,”
she beamed.
“Look at my little chef. I see you, boo.” She blushed.
After talking to them for a little while, I headed upstairs so that I
could shower before Khaotic and my family got here. On the way upstairs,
Kat stopped me.
“Tori, can I talk to you for a minute?” she asked.
I stopped in my tracks and waited for her to start talking.
“I want to apologize for the things I said to you when we first met. I
was out of line and flat out disrespectful. Believe it or not, I love my boys,
and I just didn’t want him to be hurt again in his life. I caused him enough
pain,” she confessed.
As a mother, I knew exactly where she was coming from, so I got it.
“I get it, and apology accepted. Just don’t let it happen again.” I
warned, as a warm smile spread across her face.
When I made it upstairs, I put my bags on the chaise that was in
front of the bed and headed straight to the shower. I wanted to be dressed
and back downstairs before everyone came back. Once my body was clean,
I dried off and went to find something to put on. When I walked out of the
bathroom, Khaotic was headed in the same direction, taking his shirt off in
the process.
“Damn. I was tryna catch you while you were still in there. Come
back and take another shower with me.” He smirked.
 “Now you know we won’t be showering if I go back in there with
you,” I stated.
“Hence the reason for the second shower.” He kissed my neck and
wrapped me inside of his brawny arms. Just that quickly, I folded like fresh
laundry and was back in the shower bent over the bench, letting my man
have his way with me and I had not one objection.
An hour later we were showered, dressed and back downstairs.
When we made it, everyone was already here.
“About time. I knew when Joni ran his ass up them stairs, we
wouldn’t see y’all fast tails no time soon. I’m just glad he did something to
that room because y’all have too much going on up there,” GiGi said when
she saw us walk into the family room.
“Man, Gee. Cut it out. You’on be hearing nothing,” I countered.
“Damn, bro. You’on be putting it down?” Tae’s stupid ass said.
“Nigga, you kno—”
“Can y’all not?” I interjected.
“My bad, baby.”
“It sounds like I’ll be getting a new grandbaby in the near future,”
my mama mentioned with a smirk.
“Give me a minute,” Khaotic voiced.
Shaking my head, I went to speak to my mama, Abe, and Troy. He
was finally back in town, and I know my sister was happy. Hell, maybe they
could be the ones to give her another grandbaby.
“Gramma! I made the biscuits,” Leah excited said.
“Okay then. You might have to give me that recipe.”
“GiGi, said I have to take it to the graves.”
“That’s right, GiGi baby.”
Everybody laughed at Leah’s animated self as she ran her mouth a
mile a minute.
“Okay, y’all. I’m hungry now,” Tae’s stupid ass yelled.
We all piled into the dining room and sat around the table.
 “Joni, you’re the man of the house, so you need to bless the food,”
GiGi spoke.
“I got you. Can I get everybody to touch hands and bow their
heads?”
He waited a few seconds before he started praying.
“Heavenly Father, we come to you today not to ask for anything but
to simply say thank you. Thank you this meal, Father, and the hands that
prepared it. Thank you for the family that came together to fellowship
together, Father. Father, I want to thank you for that beautiful baby girl that
you blessed me with as well as her beautiful mother. Those are the most
precious gifts you have ever given me, and I want to simply say thank you.
But Father, those gifts would be complete if the woman that you made just
for me agrees to be my wife. If you see fit, I want to make this woman my
better half of me, but only if you lay it on her heart, Father. In your son
Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”
When I opened my eyes, everyone’s eyes were on me and Khaotic
had placed the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life on the table in
front of me. It could’ve been ugly for all I know, because the tears were
clouding my vision.
“Baby?” he called out to me.
I looked around, and everybody had their eyes on me. The ladies
had tears that mirrored mine while Tae was recording.
“Mommy, say yes!” Leah demanded.
“Yes,” I cried.
“Word?”
“Word,” I laughed as he slipped the ring on my finger and kissed
me.
“Alright, that’s enough. Wait to take all that upstairs,” GiGi joked.
“Thank you,” he stated, smiling down at me.
“For what? Agreeing to marry you?”
“Yeah, and for having that weak ass bladder that night at the club.”
He laughed.
 “You would bring that up, but I’m glad I did. I love you, Khaotic
Brooks,” I simpered.
“I love you more, Khatori Brooks.”
The End…
