The Rise Of Harlem's Princess 1-3 Boxset

by Chrissy J

  “Ma’am where to now?” the cabbie asked.

  “To West 145th between Amsterdam and Central Park,” I told him leaning back in the seat. Kevin popped in my head and I smiled. I’d had fun with him the night before and I planned to have some more fun nights with him. I wasn’t about to be tied down to just Eddie and I knew he wasn’t with only me. Call me a hoe; I didn’t give two flying fucks. While the driver drove through the streets of Harlem, I sat back in my seat looking out at my father blocks. He had Harlem on lock. My phone began ringing indicating that I had an incoming text. I looked at the screen and saw it was from my father asking where I was. I texted him back telling him I was three blocks from the house and put my phone inside my bag. The cab pulled up in front of the eight-bedroom brownstone that I grew up in. We had eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, two master suites, and the den, which was my father’s office, living room, laundry room, and the basement, which was like a little club. It had custom pool tables, two stripper poles, a bar, and some lounge chairs. I got out of the cab with all my bags, took my keys out, and then opened the door. The smell of food hit me dead in the face.

  “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Princess, happy birthday to you,” Mary sang walking out of the kitchen holding a red velvet cupcake with a candle. I smiled. “Thank you Ma,” I said blowing out the candle. “You’re welcome Princess,” she said hugging me. My father came out of the kitchen. “Happy birthday Princess,” he said. Putting my bags down I hugged my king; Mary looked at all the bags, laughed as she told me Eddie was in my room, and had been there since six in the morning. I shook my head and told them he called me a few minutes ago but he didn’t tell me he was in the house, let alone my room. “Mel look at her, she’s all grown up. I remember when you were a tiny baby. My baby’s not a baby anymore,” Mary said with tears in her eyes. “Damn Mary you and this emotional shit,” my father joked pulling her to him. We all laughed with me telling her I was still their baby.

  I walked into the kitchen with them behind me. I looked at all the food that was cooking and I spun around with a questioning look. “Sandy called earlier and spoke to Mary about throwing y'all a little house party. She’s on her way with some more food and more drinks because those little niggas that you and Hershey call friends ain’t drinking up all my shit,” my father laughed. I told them I was coming back out to help them once I dealt with the Looney Toon that was inside my room. My mother wasn’t feeling the fact that Eddie was allowed to spend the night in my house and in my room. Mary told her that she was the queen of the house and if she and my father said it was ok, that she shouldn’t have shit to say. Walking out of the kitchen and grabbing my bags, I rubbed my stomach ready to get my grub on. They had baked mac & cheese, collard greens with neck bones, jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, rice & beans, ham, ox tails, plantains, baked Ziti, and I could only imagine what Sandy was bringing.

  I walked to my side of the house. I heard Fabulous and Tamia’s “Into You” blasting from my Bose surround sound. I put my key in the door and walked in. I wasn't halfway inside the room when Eddie came out of nowhere and popped me in my mouth. I tasted blood.

  “That's for hanging up the phone in my motherfucking ear, don't ever talk to me like that again,” he said sitting back on the bed in nothing but his boxers. I locked the door and walked into my closet. I grabbed my Gucci bag from the shelf and pulled out my .25 with the pink pearl handle that my uncle got me after I got shot. I walked back in the room and Eddie was smoking a blunt watching me like a hawk. I took the blunt from him and took a pull. See some niggas think it's ok to hit and beat up on a female, hell no, not in my book.

  My own daddy had never popped me in my mouth so I’d be damned if I let Eddie get away with it. I removed my shirt; my gun was tucked in the small of my back so he was clueless. Eddie looked at me with those sexy green eyes. “Come here Goddess, you know I was only playing with you. Come give Daddy a kiss and get you birthday gift,” he said. I smirked at him then stood in front of him looking down at him. He looked up at me smiling showing the deep dimple in his cheek. I bent down to kiss his lips and he pulled me on top of him. He closed his eyes rubbing on my breasts. That was my green light. I pulled the gun from behind me with ease and I made it kiss his forehead. His eyes flew open from shock when he felt the cold steel.

  “Don't you ever in your fucking life put your hands on me! My own daddy never did, and neither will you. I put that on my son. If you ever think about laying hands on me I will kill you and go about my fucking day,” I said looking him dead in the eyes. He didn't even blink. I know it sounded cold, but fuck that. No nigga had the right to put hands and feet on a bitch, that was some real coward shit. I tried to tell my lil cousin Harlem about that shit, but I’ll get back to that trick in a little bit. “Baby I told you I was playing. Put the gun down,” he said with pleading eyes.

  “Nah, not until you tell me you will never put your hands on me.”

  “I won't Goddess,” he said looking into my eyes then shaking his head. He was shocked that I pulled it out on him. He knew I had the gun but I had never taken it out my shoebox or played around with it. Me pulling it out on him had him speechless for a minute. Even after I hit the safety and sat it on the nightstand, Eddie didn’t say anything. Eddie just flipped me on my back, laid me on the bed, removed my Coogi dress, and began eating my pussy.

  CHAPTER 14

  PARTY AND NO PLAY

  Eddie licked between my thighs and licked up to my breasts removing my bra. He took one of my hard nipples in his mouth and played with the other one. His licks and kisses ended up right back down near my kitty, which was dripping and waiting to be filled. He went down to my feet, licked each one of my toes, and kissed both my legs front to back.

  “Eddie I love you,” I said pulling him up to me. “I love you too Diva, now give Daddy some loving,” he said as we shared a kissed that was filled with so much passion and lust. That was one thing I loved about Eddie; he knew what he was doing when it came down to lovemaking. When he slipped into my lusty spot, Trey Songz’s “Invented Sex” came on and I began moving my hips along with his every stroke. I felt my legs start shaking, letting me know my orgasm was near. “Damn baby, mmm... oh,” I moaned licking and biting his ear. He stroked hard and long. “Damn Diva, I fucking love you,” he said humping me a few more times until he bust his nut the same time I did. Falling on top of me, he pulled out and rolled on the side of me with his eyes closed. Looking at him, I couldn’t do anything but smirk. I wanted to pat myself on the back. I knew I had that wet-wet, that snap back pussy. I asked Eddie what was wrong. He had a confused look on his face. “Why your pussy feel like that?” he asked opening his eyes. I could’ve died. “Think bitch,” I said to myself. “Feel like what?” I asked standing up and grabbing the blunt that Eddie was smoking on before I walked in the room. I lit the spliff and took two deep pulls before passing it to Eddie. “It just feels different, why you so jumpy? Were you out fucking or something?” he joked but I knew he was dead ass serious. He kept looking at me like he was waiting for me to tell on myself. “Shut up Eddie, I just wanted to know how different nigga. I want to make sure my walls still there,” I laughed bending down to kiss him. He pulled me into his arms kissing my face and tickling me. Eddie told me he loved me while giving me one last kiss on the forehead before both of us dozed off to sleep.

  The little house party wasn't supposed to start until ten but my mother, Whitey and my lil brothers came around five along with my uncle and aunt. Sandy, Hershey, her brothers, Asia, and Star came with Teddy Eddie’s twin. Everybody was eating and enjoying themselves upstairs in the living room and game room. My little brothers were running around acting like fools. “Princess get the door for me,” Mary yelled from the kitchen. “I got it Ma,” I said walking to the door. I had on a sheer royal blue Gucci blouse that stopped above my navel and showed off my perfect hips and my ass. That was covered in some Gucci dark blue skinny jeans, with my blue an
d rhinestone Christian Louboutins. My hair was in a nice bun with a side bang. I had on a little blue eyeliner and my clear MAC lip-gloss with all of my bling Kevin had gotten me. Eddie outdid himself too with the gifts. He gave me a debit card with 20,000 dollars on it, a chain that had my name in purple diamonds, and two pairs of the newest Louboutins. I opened the door and Kevin was standing there with Harmony.

  “Hi Princess,” I said taking her out his arms. Kevin handed me two cards and two gift bags for Hershey and me. Looking at him had me wanting to do some things to him. He had on a brown Gucci shirt showing off his body, blue shorts along with a brown Gucci belt, and sneakers. His gray eyes sparkled every time I looked at him. Mary came walking up to the door with her arms out ready to hold Harmony, but I wasn’t trying to give her away. She was a part of Kevin and Jordan and I wanted to hold on to her for my own selfish reasons. “Hi Kevin. Look at this pretty baby.” Mary came towards us “How you doing Ms. Mary?” Kevin asked. “I'm fine, can I hold her?” she asked reaching for the baby. “Yeah,” he told her giving me the nod that it was okay.

  He walked into the living room where all the guys were. I gave Harmony to Mary and walked in the kitchen. I needed a break from everybody for a lil while. It was as if Eddie had radar in his damn head. He kept eyeing me making sure I wasn’t too close to Kevin or any other nigga for that matter. Barkeem was staring at me with lust-filled eyes and so was Kevin. My mother and the ladies were fussing over how cute Harmony was when I walked in the living room and sat next to my aunt Tina. I leaned my head on her shoulder. Hershey was busy entertaining Ty and his little crew. My aunt looked at me and whispered in my ear that we needed to talk and the sound of her voice let me know it was something serious. I stood up and started walking off to my room. “Princess can you change Harmony for me? I gotta run and do something real quick?” Mary asked giving me the baby and her bag. My Aunt Tina followed me out of the living room. Eddie was staring at me with a confused look on his face, then he peeped the baby, and anger set in. His jaw kept locking up. I noticed Asia’s ass posted up next to him and his twin like she belonged in their circle. “Diva, princess, I'm just going to come out and say it. Kevin was Jordan father right?” she asked as I sat on the bed changing Harmony. I put my head down and felt the tears roll down my face.

  I couldn't speak because of the lump in my throat. I just nodded my head up and down. Tina hugged me and wiped my face that was full of tears. “How did you know?” I asked fixing Harmony’s Gucci dress. She looked down at the baby with a smile on her face. “Just looking at her. I see Jordan but in a little girl, they look just alike. So I know if I could see it, everybody else could too,” she said. It was as if a light bulb went off in my head. If my aunt could put two and two together, I knew it was only a matter of time before my father or uncle peeped it too. Standing up I picked Harmony up off the bed. I told my aunt that I didn’t want anything happening to Kevin because of me. She tried calming me. “They’re not going to do nothing to him, but you need to stop whatever you got going on with him. That shit is too close to home. I understand what it feels like to love a man that is forbidden fruit,” she said smiling. “What did you do?” I looked at her with pleading eyes. “I married him and I’ve been with him for eight years. I left my family. I chose your uncle and my family disowned me. So if you’re going to be with him, sit down and tell your father everything,” she said opening the door.

  Kevin was standing there with his hands inside his pockets. He said he was looking for me and asked if Harmony was okay. I tilted my head to the side and smiled. Telling him she was straight and that she was with me he laughed along with my aunt. We all walked back into the living room. Kevin went back with my father and uncle and I sat down near Eddie and Asia still holding Harmony. “This get together is nice and the food is banging. I can't wait for the party to begin. Whose baby? She is so pretty,” Asia asked looking at me. Eddie was meaning mugging me.

  “This Kevin’s daughter Harmony,” I told her trying not to look at Eddie, which was impossible. He was too sexy and his swag was on 1,000. He had the same colors on as me. Dark blue Polo shorts with a royal blue Polo shirt and some blue and grey Prada sneakers. His cross chain and his E chain were flooded with blue and white diamonds and his hair was just cut with a diamond in his left ear. Damn my pussy was dripping just looking at him. “She is so pretty, she looks just like his sexy ass,” she said. Eddie looked like he wanted to smack her ass. I leaned into Eddie and whispered in his ear. “Pa you going to party with me?” He looked at me then leaned over to whisper in my ear. “I want to party but not with all these niggas around,” he said kissing my neck. “Damn why he do that?” I asked myself. My pussy was dripping like a leaky pipe. Asia looked like she turned three shades of red when Eddie kissed my neck. She tried to put me on blast. “I saw you last night getting out a cab near my block, what were you was doing on my side?” Asia asked trying to blow my spot up. I laughed and told her I was over on that side with Hershey. She said if she would’ve known that Hershey lived over there, she would’ve come and smoked a blunt with us. I told her she should’ve. Asia was eying Eddie something awful while he looked at me. I laughed at both of them getting up from the chair and leaving them there.

  I walked in the den where my father, uncle, and Kevin along with a few little niggas from their camp were. “Kevin is this your little girl?” my father asked. Kevin couldn’t keep the smile from spreading across his face as I walked towards them and Harmony who was reaching for her daddy. “Yeah, that's my very own princess,” Kevin said smiling when I gave him Harmony who was smiling at everybody. “Yo that's crazy. She looks like Jordan,” my uncle Mike said. I was trying to ease out of the room. My father looked at her closely like she was on display at a museum, nodding his head in agreement to my uncle’s statement. My father stood up from his chair behind his desk and told my uncle he wasn’t lying; that was my cue to get out of the room.

  I started walking backwards to the door. I felt my back against the wall. Both my uncle and father were looking at Kevin and me with the death glare. “Why you running Princess? Come sit with us, it's time we had a talk about y'all two sneaky motherfuckers,” my father said. “Oh God,” I thought closing my eyes. I felt the sweat form on my forehead. “Daddy what are you talking about?” I asked looking at everybody but my father. Kevin didn't say anything. He sobered up real quick. I looked over at him and I didn’t see an ounce of fear on his face. “You know what we’re talking about. How long y'all been trying to sneak behind our backs?” Mike asked grilling Kevin. I didn't say anything. My father stormed out of the den and we heard him yelling telling everybody they had to leave. I sat down on the sofa and put my head down wondering how they found out about us. Mary walked in the room walking straight to Kevin. She told him to let her take the baby so we all could talk. Kevin looked as if he didn't want to, but gave her to Mary when my uncle gave him the coldest stare. After Mary was gone, Hershey walked in the den followed by my father and mother. Hershey had the same thing on as me, but in red. “So who’s going to start talking because I want to know what the fuck you were thinking when you started fucking my daughter,” my father grilled Kevin.

  “I'm a man so I'm going to speak up. It wasn’t on no disrespectful shit or me being disloyal. Diva and I started messing around behind your back last year. And yeah, I was Jordan’s father. Did I want this to happen? Hell no, I’ve got respect for both you and Mike and I will lay my life down for both of y'all and Diva. But it happened and I can't take that back or fake the way I feel about her. I'm sorry it had to be your daughter that I fell in love with,” Kevin said and I looked at him with tear-filled eyes. My father and uncle stared at him along with my mother who had the look in her eyes that indicted she was ready to fuck something up. “Who else knew about this shit?” my uncle yelled reaching behind his back for his gun.

  “Nobody,” I whispered. Hershey looked at me and I shook my head for her not to say anything, but that was like paying a snitch n
ot to rat you out. She told my father and uncle she was the only one that knew about Kevin and me. She didn’t throw Bookie under the bus by telling my father he also knew what was going on between Kevin and I. “Hershey Ann why didn't you tell me?” my father asked looking at her. I jumped up and yelled, “She didn’t know, it’s all my fault we’re all in this mess. My love for Kevin didn’t allow me to see the dangers being with him would put him in.”

  “Yes I did Diva, you not going down by yourself,” she said tears falling from her eyes. My mother just shook her head disgusted. I don’t know why my father even called her ass in the room; it was only going to make her talk more shit to me about me being grown. “So when he dropped you off at my house y'all were fucking and you lied and said he worked for your damn uncle? Little nigga got the nerve to fuck my fifteen year old daughter and get her knocked up?” my mother yelled. I rolled my eyes at her and turned back to face my father looking him in the eye. “We were friends. We didn't do anything until the fifth month of us seeing each other. Please don't hurt him. Daddy I'm begging you, don't kill him. I love him and if it means that I can't see him or be with him for y'all to let him live then I'm not going to see him. I won't even look at him if we’re around each other,” I begged looking at my father then my uncle. My father had always been the calm one. His face was expressionless.
