Chapter 10
Tia
Life has really changed. I’m having a baby. Wow is all I can say. I’m not ready for that, but it’s okay. I will be fine. They offered me a promotion at Red Lobster’s, but the job at the University of Memphis sounds good too. I’ll make enough to stack up. And Jason is being him and pampering me. We taking it slow and only chilling and rocking with each other. He brings me a snack every day and we chill out more now that I got my own place. I like my new job and I finally fixed up my crib. Jason’s business just started popping off. My cousins bought Trinity a car and they bought about twelve more cars to start up a little car lot. After they beat Tojo’s ass, he got locked up for some blow and weed. So, Trinity said she’s going to do some things to change her life. I still haven’t let her or Mark know where I live because they can’t visit yet. I’m not the babysitter and I’m enjoying my space without my siblings. Don’t get me wrong I love my siblings and my nephews, but putting them before me is over. And guess what? Things got better because I made that step. Mark still calls with some bullshit, but I change the conversation and ask how MJ is doing. Speaking of the devil, Mark is calling me now. I answer waiting on him to have a problem that he wants me to solve.
“Wassup?”
“Aye, sis. Can we come over?” Mark asks.
“Em, no. You got some rent money?” I ask laughing.
“Yeah, what you want?” Mark says laughing.
“Nothing, I’m good.”
“Can we at least see it?” Moet says jumping on the phone.
“Yeah, I guess,” I say getting off the couch.
I give them a virtual tour via my phone.
“Damn, sis. That is so fresh. Where that niccah at?” Mark says.
I walk to my room and Jason is still asleep in the bed. I kiss him. He wakes up. That’s my cue.
“Aight ya’ll. I’ll talk to ya’ll later.”
“For real sis. It’s an emergency. Can you please come over? I need you.”
“Yeah later,” I say hanging up the phone.
“Hey, baby. You good?” Jason asks pulling me closer to him.
“Yeah, but your alarm is going off,” I say smiling.
I reach under the covers and touch his dick. It’s hard. It’s time to do some damage. I’m pregnant and my sex drive is crazy. I stand up, take off my nightgown, and pull Jason’s pajamas off. He looks at me and smiles.
“How much time you got to spare before you have to go to work?
“Two hours. I got a meeting and then I’m coming straight home to you. You want something back or you want me to cook?” he says as he smacks me on the ass.
“You’re going to work and I’m off. So, I’ll cook.” I say.
I sit down slowly on his dick. He pulls me down just a little bit more. That shit feels so good. I rock my hips to place him in his rightful place. He kisses my nipples and grips my hips. Baby loves this spot that was created only for him to receive. He pulls me down further on it and now he’s all the way in. My juices fall down his dick and he kisses me.
“That shit feels so good,” I say winding my hips on him.
He grabs my ass and we speed up. I’m bouncing up and down on Jason as he grabs my hair. He kisses my neck and grabs my ass. As we moving and enjoying making each other feel good, Jason’s phone is blowing up. He picks me up and flips me over. I arch my back and he slides in. He grabs my waist and pounds my pussy with pleasure. He doesn’t stop until he cums. Then, he kisses my back gently.
“Yeah, I’m going to love this.” He says.
“Me too,” I say.
He pulls out and walks to the bathroom. We clean up and he jumps in the shower. Again his phone rings, but I just look at it. Jason ain’t never gave me a reason to look at him sideways. So, I let it be. He gets out of the shower, dries off, and puts some oil on his body. I’m watching the show getting horny again. My baby’s skin is glowing and his body is so sexy to me. He notices me staring and smiles.
“What’s up with you?” he asks.
“You. You looking all sexy and shit. But anyway, why is your phone blowing up? Why are you avoiding her calls?”
“Really Tia?” he asks.
“Yeah, Jas.”
“I told her about you and she’s been calling ever since. It ain’t nothing to trip about. Aight? You got me and I got you. So, you don’t have to worry about shit. Now, give me some kisses baby.”
We kiss and he goes to work. I shower and dress quickly. I need to go and see Trinity and see what the fuck Mark wants also.
When I get to Trinity’s crib, she notices how my hips are spreading in my jeans. Of course, she asks me what’s up. I play her to the left and change the subject. I’m not ready for her to know yet. The first thing she will do is tell my momma and dad. They will be pissed because I’m not married. But what they don’t know is- marriage ain’t in the cards for me. When I saw the hurt in my momma’s eyes when my dad cheated on her, I knew that I could never love a man like that.
“Hey, what are you doing over here?”
“I came for some info,” I say fixing my plate.
“You just came in here eating a salad from Best Pizza in Town. Now, you’re fixing a plate too Tia?”
“Yeah, I got the munchies,” I say.
“Nah, because I noticed that you didn’t smoke or drink at the BBQ. You pregnant Ti? I promise I’m not going to say anything.” She says pleading with her eyes.
“Yeah, but please don’t tell nobody. That’s me and Jason’s business. So, what’s up with his baby momma?” I say sitting at the table with my plate.
“Did you get enough?” she says laughing.
“Emm, yeah. I got to go for seconds in a minute. So, spill the beans bitch.”
“Aight, okay. So, you remember Munchie right?” she asks.
“Yeah, the chick you do the coupon shopping and gambling with? Right?”
“Yeah, her. Well, that’s his baby momma’s best friend. And she’s been trying to get back with him since they broke up nine almost ten months ago. Well, he’s been curbing her since they broke up.” Trinity says spilling the tea.
“She’s cool and all. I’ve only met her once when Jason brought her over here. She was all insecure and shit. She swore up and down we had something going on. And he’s a hustla, but she ain’t trying to make any moves with him. Six months before he mentioned you, it was over for them. He paid for her to take some classes to better herself, but she took the money and went shopping with it. Then, she lied about taking the classes. Of course, he caught up with her when he tried to surprise her with lunch at school. But she wasn’t there. She was having lunch with some other nigga when he located her on his cellphone.”
“Damn, for real. So, why is she blowing up his phone now? We’ve been talking for a little minute now. She’s never really called his phone before.” I ask puzzled.
“Well, she told Munchie that Jason ain’t been home for months now and she thinks that he has moved on. So, she did a little investigation and his momma told her that he’s barely there. She asks him what’s up and he tells her that he’s got a girl that he’s feeling and that she is having his baby. I asked Munchie if she’s sure about that. She sent me the screenshot messages between Jason and his baby momma.” She says showing me the text messages.
“So, you knew?” I ask.”
“Yeah, I did. But you ain’t hiding it very well either.”
“Aight.”
“But look at this shit though.”
It is a message from Jason telling her that he’s been digging me for the longest and that he’s going to make a life with me. And that he’s sorry but he ain’t coming back. That he will be there for their kid and that’s it.
“At least now I know. I was just a little suspect because she has been blowing him up lately. Plus, he’s been just brushing it off.”
“Nah, boo boo. He is sprung,” she says laughing.
“Aight that’s cool. Because I am too though. But let me
get outta here. Mark’s funky ass called and begged me to come over. I’m taking Tris with me, but I’m bringing him back before I go home.”
“Okay, just use your key and let him in because I’m finna take me a nap. You bringing him back late tonight?”
“Nah, Trin. I got a sleepover with Jason planned. Tris, come on and ride out with me!”
When Tris and I get to Mark’s crib in the Asap, I should’ve known to expect some bullshit. They only called me because they don’t have any food and they are hungry. So, I snap off.
“So, this is my problem how?” I ask pissed.
“Sis, just help me out this one time. Buy us some food please.” Marks says.
“Aight, I got you this time. Next time, don’t call me. Come on and go with me, Tris.” I say.
“MJ going with you?” Moet asks.
“No.”
“Why not? Tris is with you. So, why can’t he go?”
“Because his mammy is right here with him and that’s where he needs to be,” I say walking out of the door slamming that muthafucka hard.
I went to Wendy’s and got three 4 for 4$. These two grown muthafuckas are gonna learn responsibility fucking with me. When I give them their food, Moet is upset talking about that ain’t enough. She storms out of the door talking about we don’t do shit for Mark and his family. Mark runs behind her and thirty minutes later, they still ain’t got back. I call him and tell him to get back here now. Thirty more minutes pass and still no Mark or Moet. Jason calls to see where I’m at and I tell him what’s up. So, I push the find my phone app that my dad put on our phones. I walk up to the door and I hear the smack of the dominoes on the table from the outside. His partner, Nate lets me in and these inconsiderate negroes are chilling on the couch drinking a Smirnoff. Mark knows that I’m finna spazz out. So, he grabs MJ and walks out of the door.
“She acts like she can’t watch him while I get a break for a minute, but she got her other nephew,” Moet says to some chick.
I want to slap the shit out of her, but I’m pregnant so I can’t. Then, Trinity starts to blow up my phone. I just left and I will be over there in a few minutes so I hit ignore. Then, she says it’s an emergency. She also tells Mark to jump in the car and come with me. I knew it was some shit at this moment. When I pull up, I see another car. It’s a white Toyota Camry with a car seat. I walk in the house to see what’s up.
“Tia, this is Munchie and her best friend, Sydney. She’s Jason’s baby momma. I think you need to sit down.”
Tris notices the cue and runs to the back room.
“Nawl, I’ll stand. And yes ma’am. What do you want?” I say not beating around the bush.
“To tell you that Jason is playing both of us. We broke up, but we still smash every day. He comes to the crib and sees Jasmine every day. And we fuck for hours when she goes to sleep. When I ask him about you that’s when he confessed about you being pregnant. He started singing a different tune when I said I was going to tell. He said you trapped him and said you was going to put him on child support.” She says smacking her lips.
“Awl, aight. Thanks for the information.” I say nonchalantly.
“So, you’re going to break up with him?” she asks.
“Why? So that you can have him? I think not. I’ll talk to Jason about this first.” I say.
“So, you’re happy playing the side chick. At least I told you what was up. As a matter of fact, when was the last time he took you around his family. That would be never because he lives with his mom that keeps my baby every day. She had no clue about you. Trust me when I say that he ain’t even mentioned you baby girl. But that’s your scene. Come on Munchie, let’s go.” She says walking out of the house with a smirk on her face.
When I walk out of the house, Jason pulls up. I slap the shit out of him.
“You cheating on me with your baby momma Jas?” I ask pissed.
“Nawl. Ti. I’ll never do that to you.” Jason says.
“Do your mom know that I’m pregnant?”
“Nah, I haven’t told her yet.”
“Now, I know why you never took me to your home! Or let me meet your family! Because you were too busy hiding the fact that you’re still with your baby momma!” I say moving him out of my way.
“Tia baby,” he says trying to grab me.
“Nah, I’m done, Jason. You made a big scene when it came to Free, but you doing the most. Leave me and my seed alone.” I say walking off and jump in my car.
I go home and play Mary J. Blige’s, ‘Not gonna cry until I fall asleep. I wake up to Jason eating my pussy. I cry as I cum and my juices flow down his tongue. Damn, I’m going to miss this. We make love until the sun rises.
“Baby, I love you,” Jason says.
“I loved you too. But go and be with your family and give me back my key.”
“Tia?”
“Nawl. It’s over Jason.”
Mark
I lied and told Moet that I had to work tonight. So, I got Free to drop me off and I jumped in the car with Jada. Shit, I missed her so much that I pushed her panties to the side. It took me five minutes to nut. I slide the condom off, clean up, and get ready for round two. I’m watching Jada ride me from the back as Moet blows up my phone.
“Just answer it, Mark,” she says stopping.
“Sup Mo? You know that I can’t answer my phone on this post. So, this better be an emergency.” I say pissed that she fucked up my nut.
Being with Jada is the only peace of mind that I get and now she wants to fuck that up too. Ever since the BBQ, she has been tripping. All she talks about is how my family treats me. They did use to do everything for me, but I fucked that up by lying and not doing the necessary things to keep myself straight. Plus, the men in my family have a rule that they follow. And that rule is to make sure that we can provide for our women and children. My grown ass ain’t neither one. Plus, I’m all out of helping me favors from the family. I’ve stayed with all of them for months until they kick me out. Then, I moved in with my mom’s for about six months until she kicked me out. I tried to stay with Trinity, but she don’t fuck with me like that. So, Tia became my go-to person. No matter how much everybody tripped and got on her for letting me stay; she still rode with me.
“Mo, wassup?”
“I got a job interview and Free ain’t here to watch MJ. And your momma won’t watch him either. Matter of fact, none of them will help me with him. You need to stand up to them!” she screams.
