“I’ll go over there in the morning.”
“She tripping ‘bout you being married and you not telling her. She damn near bit my head off ‘cause I didn’t tell her.”
“It’s none of her business what I do. I’m a grown ass fucking man.”
“You ain’t gotta tell me.”
Perc dropped me off to my empty ass house. I checked the mailbox because we were waiting on the results from her test to see what we were having. We didn’t want to know right then so we had them mail them. I threw the mail on the table and took a shower. Syn had sent me a text of her and Merci. They looked like they were enjoying themselves. She sent me a few more pictures of her in her bathing suit with her stomach out.
Me:Stop sending me all these pictures. Send me a picture of that pussy but I want it wet when you send it.
Thirty minutes later, she sent me the picture I wanted. My baby was a fucking freak and I loved it. She had my dick hard and she wasn’t here to do anything with it. I had three days to go without her. I was fucking her in the foyer as soon as she walked through the door. I hoped she was ready. I sent her a goodnight text and took my ass to sleep. Dealing with my mama wasn’t going to be easy.
“Perce must have told you what I said?” My mama said with an attitude.
“Mama I was coming I just have several things goin’ on.”
“Why haven’t I met your wife yet?”
“I thought it was best to get to know her without getting you involved. If I would have brought her over here, you would have made her so uncomfortable, and I just didn’t want that. You always try to tell us what we can and can’t do and I’m grown.”
“You married and got a baby on the way, and you don’t think I should know something like that.”
“Do you remember what happened to my last relationship? You ran that damn girl off before I could get to know who she was. All I knew was her name. It was my first girlfriend, andI thought I was doing the right thing by bringing her here and that turned out terrible. I was nineteen years old. I told myself I would never do that again. And then we not gon’ get on how you did Perc and Lexus.”
“Aight. Okay. I didn’t want y’all with just any woman. Money brings the wrong type of women.”
“Says the woman that loves Lexus.”
“She’s just misguided.”
“Yeah right.”
“I’m happy for you. I know your daddy would be too. Have you spoke to him?”
“Nah and I doubt I will. We are good and I wanna keep it like that.”
“I won’t push it.”
“You need anything from me while I’m here?” I asked her.
My visit was usually brief.
“A few lightbulbs need changing and check the oil in my car.”
I made sure my mama was straight before I went home to get ready for Perc to pick me up. We had to make a move tonight and get the information we needed. Again, we pulled up on the block but this time we waited a little later in the night. If they were anything like me, I didn’t go home until I was completely out of drugs when I started out.
“We move before the sun come up.”
We passed a blunt back and forth. The hand exchange slowed down around four. Their body language told me they were tired. I looked at my clock and nodded at my brother to let him know I was ready to make a move. Perc stood in the cut as I staggered over to them. My clothes were torn and dirty. My hat was low over my eyes and I made sure I had lint all in my beard. I went straight for the head nigga.
“Aye what I can get for ten dollas?” I slurred.
“Nigga ten? You betta take yo ass on the other side of town with that shid. We ain’t selling your ass shid.”
“Come on nigga. That’s all I got.” I pushed up on him.
He pushed me off, but I went at him again this time, I raised my head so he could look me in my eyes.
