Falling for a Hood King 2

by Shvonne Latrice

  Lucy was still acting strange, and she didn't want to talk about my trip to Paris at all. Whenever I brought it up, or showed her a picture, she would always bring up how bad Julius treated me when we first met. She pretty much had it in her head that I was shady for not inviting her. I just gave up on apologizing, and hoped she got over it. I felt bad that I was happy she didn't come. I didn't think about her once, or anything else negative while in Paris, and it felt so good. Our next trip though, I would be sure to bring her.

  "So, tell me about this honeymoon," Paula's mom, Sandra smiled, as she sat down some fresh lemonade.

  "Oh it was cool," I replied not wanting to say too much.

  "Cool? Natalia, tell my mom how much fun we had!" Paula smiled with excitement.

  I looked over at Lucy, and she appeared to be occupied with her phone. I decided to go ahead and use this time to my advantage, and tell Sandra everything about my trip.

  "Well, when we first got there, we went to Disneyland and I got to see all the Disney princesses, and meet Mickey Mouse. It was so fun, I felt like a kid again," I smiled,as I adjusted Jackson in my lap. "We stayed in this really nice hotel named, Le Bristol, and it was like a mini French apartment. It was really pretty, and I have a gang of pictures if you’d like to see. Oh! And then we had dinner in the"

  "Nobody wants to hear you brag about your perfect little life Natalia! Don’t forget that Julius beat your ass about five days before the wedding, when he got out of jail!" Lucy cut in to say.

  "Oh my gosh!" Sandra said covering her mouth in shock. I was so embarrassed.

  "I'm getting real fucking tired of your attitude!" Paula spat.

  "I don’t give a fuck what you’re tired of! Natalia tryna act like her shit is all sunshine and flowers, when we know that ain't the case!" Lucy yelled. "You weren’t there when he was cheating and dissing her every other week, I was!" she continued and jammed her finger in her chest.

  "Nah, you just a hating ass bitch! That's what it is. And that's exactly why yo’ ass wasn't invited to Paris. Instead of being happy for your so called best friend, you pouting like a bitch!" Paula yelled back.

  "Ladies!" Sandra yelled, and moved Paula's daughter Gabby out of her lap.

  Jackson started to cry, so I hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. After rocking him a little bit more, he finally calmed down. I straightened his clothes, and then pulled his toy keys out of my purse.

  "Now, Natalia, please continue sweetie," Sandra half smiled.

  "No, maybe I shou"

  "Please, I'd like to hear," Sandra smiled again with pleading eyes.

  "Okay. Well we had a nice dinner in this huge beautiful dining room. The food was umm, let's just say it was interesting, but it was good. It seems like they put alcohol in everything," I smiled, and Paula and Sandra laughed.

  "We also went to the little mock beach Ma, it was so nice. Natalia and I took a gang of pictures in our little thong bikinis." Paula smiled showing her mom some pictures in her phone. "Nat and Julius were so cute together! I had to sneak and take some candids of them." Paula smiled and I squinted my eyes playfully like I was angry.

  "I'm so happy to hear that. Lucy honey, would you like a refill on your lemonade?" Sandra asked, and Lucy shook her head. "Paula also tells me you and your husband, have moved into a new house Nat."

  "Yeah, we got a big house. It has five bedrooms, a gym, and all kinds of stuff. My favorite part of the house is the backyard. It's so big, and the grass is beautiful. There is also a patio cover, so we can relax in the back while people swim and stuff." I smiled starting to feel all giddy inside. "We are thinking of having Jackson's first birthday there, so you guys should come then," I nodded and they smiled.

  "You know I will be there, I can't wait to see this house Nat," Sandra smiled, and sipped her lemonade.

  "Can you take me home Natalia?" Lucy barged in.

  "We haven't even eaten yet Lucy," I frowned.

  "Well, I lost my appetite listening to your damn fairytale!"

  "Oh my gosh! Say one more disrespectful thing to Nat, and I'm slapping you I swear!" Paula said with her eyes closed, like she was trying to calm herself down.

  "Ain't my fault she thinks her abusive, cheating ass husband is a pri"

  Before she could finish, Paula punched her in the face. Lucy hopped up and tried to get to her, but Sandra held her back. The glasses of lemonade, including the pitcher, all fell over and rolled onto the floor.

  "I'm gonna beat yo’ ass bitch!" Lucy yelled as she tried to get past Paula's mother.

  "Come on weak hoe!" Paula chuckled while waving her hands, signaling Lucy to come closer.

  "We are just gonna leave," I said, adjusting Jackson on my hip and grabbing my purse.

  I walked out and Lucy followed. She got in and slammed my passenger door, as I buckled Jackson in his car seat. I glared at her, because I was so angry. If Lucy had have been anybody else and not my best friend, I would've punched her stupid ass myself. But because she was my girl, or used to be, I let her dumb ass act out.

  "What is your fucking problem Lucy?!" I said as soon as I got into the driver’s seat.

  "Nothing," she replied.

  "Well until you can figure out what it is, I don't want to hang with you anymore," I said pulling off.

  "Wooooow. You got a new homegirl and a rock on your finger, so now you too good for Lucy." She nodded slowly.

  "No, that ain't the case and you know that!"

  "Then what is the case Nat?" she asked turning in her seat to face me.

  "You're mean as fuck. All you try to do is bring me down. Anytime I bring up Julius and me, you find some way to bring up all the bad stuff he's done," I replied.

  "I'm sorry Natalia," she exhaled heavily, and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm just really depressed right now. I have a new baby, and a baby daddy who is in love with my best friend. It makes me hate you, but I'm working on it."

  "Don't let Menzo come between us Lucy," I frowned, shaking my head.

  "You're right, I'm gone get it together," she said as I pulled up to her condo.

  "Okay," I said hitting the unlock button. I was ready for her to get out.

  I was tired of Lucy, and I think we needed a break. Maybe a break would give her some time to think and not be so angry. If anybody knows about Julius and my problems in the past, it's me. I really didn't need her bringing it up every chance she got. I sped home as fast as I could, trying to clear my head. I just wanted to get home to my man, so we could cuddle with our baby.

  Chapter 23: Julius

  I was having a little meeting with my team, but before I did, I wanted to talk to and fire Menzo's snake ass. Because I was firing him, I didn't want him hearing any details about the operation. Also, if he wanted to get stupid and try to rat me out, he would come up short with information, since I was changing everything around.

  "You wanted to see me?" Menzo smiled as he strolled in.

  "Yeah, sit," I replied and waited until he did so. "I know about the texts you send, and have sent to Natalia," I started.

  "Man, so the fuck what," he shrugged and chuckled.

  I had to sit up and take a good look at this muthafucka, because that couldn't have just come out of his mouth.

  "So the fuck what? You sending sexual shit to my wife is a muthafucking problem for me, in case you ain't realized that." I squinted my eyes as if the sight before me was hard to see. This couldn't be Menzo getting too big for his draws; he had to have been drunk.

  "I realized it, but I didn't care," he raised a brow as to say yeah nigga I just said that.

  "You think this is a damn game Menzo?" I frowned.

  "Hey, you know about that honey she got between her legs. I'm just as addicted as you."

  "Are you tryna tell me, you fucked my wife?" I asked feeling my skin get hot.

  "I sure am," he smirked.

  "Yeah right nigga. Natalia knows better," I scoffed, while making sure my gun was in reach.

  "We
ll, usually she knows better. However, you were in jail, and she was feeling vulnerable. I was a shoulder to lean on. I made sure to kiss every part of her body, especially the little Marilyn Monroe mole she has on her right hip," he said licking his lips.

  "Oh you a funny guy I see," I smirked.

  I cocked my gun and aimed it at him. His eyes got big, and a bunch of words stammered over themselves, as they left his mouth. I put my silencer on, and pulled the trigger. I shot him in his stomach three times. He started to cough up blood, and I watched him suffer for a little bit.

  "Please man, call for help," he begged as blood spilled out of his mouth, and he clutched his stomach.

  I smiled and sipped my Hennessey as I watched him suffer. I finally called Dash and Leese in for cleanup, once he succumbed to his injuries. Bitch ass nigga. Now it was time to deal with my hoe of a wife.

  I sped into my garage, damn near driving through the wall of our new home. I couldn't believe I married her ass, and she had fucked Menzo. How else would he know about something on her body like that? The mole was maybe a little bigger than a piece of pepper, so I knew he saw her naked.

  "So you fucked Menzo?" I said to Natalia, as she floated in the pool.

  "What? Julius no!" she replied. She climbed out of the pool and I slapped her back in it. Blood started to mix with the pool water, as she submerged under and then shot back up breathing heavily. I stormed into the house, and a few minutes later she was following me.

  "You cannot keep hitting me Julius!" she cried as she watched me pace the bedroom.

  "You ain't got to worry about me hitting you, ‘cause we’re getting a damn divorce,” I spat and plopped on the bed.

  "Why? I never had sex with anybody in the state of South Carolina but you! I've never had sex with anybody in the world but you!" she cried as she closed the bedroom door.

  "How the fuck would Menzo know about certain parts of your body, that can only be seen when naked Natalia? Are you telling me he's never seen you naked?"

  She stared at me, and then looked away. Blood dripped from her lip, and she put her wrist up to it to stop it. I couldn't believe it; she fucked this nigga.

  "Wow Natalia, you really fucked this nigga! Who else you been fucking?" I said standing up, and nearing her with my fists clenched.

  "Julius, remember I'm pregnant," she pleaded as she backed away.

  "That probably ain't my fucking baby!" I yelled.

  "I did not sleep with Menzo, Julius. Yes he saw me naked, but that was it!" she cried.

  "Well, I just want you to know, your real baby daddy is dead!" I shouted.

  "I told you I never had sex with him! You know this is your baby!" she cried as she pushed me with all her might.

  I grabbed her wrists and threw her to the ground. I grabbed as much of her hair as I could, and kneeled down to her face.

  "I'll have those divorce papers to you ASAP!" I said through gritted teeth.

  As I tried to walk out, she grabbed onto my polo shirt. I turned around and slapped the shit out of her. She flew back and fell to the floor, then sat up with her eyes bucked at me in fear. She brought her trembling hand up to cover her wounds, as I walked out. Fuck! Why were my feelings so strong for this girl?

  I turned around and walked back into the bedroom. I picked Natalia up bridal style, and took her to the bathroom to clean her up. She was sniffling, and blood was dripping from her face. I was the worst nigga, but then again she shouldn't have slept with Menzo.

  "I-I didn't do anyth" she attempted to say, as I dabbed the warm towel on her nose and lips.

  "Shhh ma, I don't know what to believe right now. But regardless, I need to leave and clear my head. I can't keep putting my hands on you like this," I replied honestly and she nodded. "I hope you are telling me the truth though, because I love you so fucking much," I added and kissed her soft lips.

  "I love you too," she replied in between kisses.

  I wrapped my arms around her small frame, and held her tightly. She put her arms around my neck, and we pressed our bodies against each other's as hard as we could. I carried her to the bed, and then laid her down. I placed the covers over her body, and then kissed her lips again. I needed sometime away to think clearly.

  "Where you going?" she asked as I headed out of the bedroom.

  "I just need some time to think baby. I love you," I replied and left.

  ***

  "Shit," I moaned as I rammed my dick into Bianca.

  "Fuck Ju, you still got good dick daddy," she moaned as she gushed on my dick.

  I sped up, and nutted hard as fuck. I slid out, and pulled the condom off to flush it. Afterwards, I went back out into her hotel room to put my clothes back on so I could jet.

  "Aight, I'll talk to you soon," I said to Bianca, as I put on my tennis shoes.

  "If you're not busy, maybe you can come back tonight?" she smirked.

  "We'll see," I replied and dipped.

  Chapter 24: Natalia

  2 Days Later

  I had finally come home from the hospital after Julius fucked me up. My nose and lips were still swollen and bruised. I missed him so much, even though what he did to me was horrible. I loved him more than anything, and yet shit just seemed to always tear us apart. There was no way in hell I was signing divorce papers, when I didn't even do anything.

  Winnie, Jackson, and I decided to go and stay back at the condo. That new house just had bad memories, and we hadn't even had it that long. I cried at the thought of it.

  I was looking at the printed pictures of our wedding and honeymoon, when I heard a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone because of how bad my face looked, so I was a bit surprised. Winnie was cooking, so I didn't want to disturb her. I walked over with my blanket draped over my back, and looked through the peephole.

  "What Marlon?" I yelled through the door.

  "I just wanted to check on you. I haven't talked to you in forever," he said.

  I paused and then unlocked the door. Marlon was standing there in a grey sweat suit, and matching Nike's. He looked nice, and he smelled good. I gestured for him to come in, and he smiled.

  "What happened to your face?" he asked as we sat down on the couch together.

  "It's nothing," I replied and looked away to turn on the TV.

  He grabbed my chin, and turned me to look at him. He stared into my eyes, as if he was trying to read me.

  "So this why you ain't at the house?" Julius asked.

  I pulled my face away from Marlon, and stood up. He laughed and shook his head.

  "Aye my nigga, get the fuck up out my crib!" Julius glared at Marlon.

  "I'm sorry, who are you?" Marlon asked playing dumb. He knew exactly who Julius was.

  "I'm gone be the muthafucka that sends yo’ ass to your maker if you don't get the fuck out my shit!" Julius replied pulling his gun from his waist.

  "Aight, aight, chill," Marlon said hopping up and leaving.

  "Julius I"

  He rushed me and pinned my hands down on the couch. He hovered over me, and stared into my eyes, as I lay on the couch.

  "Don't ever bring another nigga around my son," he said looking into my eyes.

  "I-I-" I stuttered and shook my head, as he tightened his grip on my wrists.

  "What you think you finna be dating? Did you fuck him too?" he frowned.

  "No Julius,I"

  He positioned himself between my legs, and kissed my lips hard. He sucked on my lips, as he pressed his body against mine.

  "I love you Julius," I whispered in between kisses.

  We wrestled our tongues, and made love with our mouths. It'd only been two days, yet I missed him like crazy. Suddenly, he stopped and got up off of me.

  "Fuck!" he yelled rubbing his hands over his fresh fade.

  "What Ju"

  He stormed out before I could finish. My phone buzzed immediately, and I saw it was a text from Julius.

  Husband: Sign the papers when you get them. What just happened m
eant nothing.

  I tried to blink away tears, as I read it over and over. I locked my phone up, declining to reply, and then lay back down on the couch. I cried myself to sleep, right there.

  Chapter 25: Julius

  I was procrastinating like a muthafucka on getting these divorce papers ordered. I couldn't be with Natalia, knowing she was hoeing around. Hell nah. I promised that no shit like this would ever happen to me, and look. I'm married to a fucking hoe, and the worst part is that I'm still in love with her.

  "So I already spoke to Bart about upping our shipment. He said it was straight, and just to give him a couple days," I said to my team, as we sat around the conference table.

  "So that means, instead of Monday morning, the pickup will be when?" Tim asked.

  "It's gonna be Thursday, but only this once, since we arranged all this kind of last minute. After this time, shipments will resume Natalia, what are you doing here?" I said when I saw her walk through the door.

  "I need to talk to you," she smiled closing the door behind her. Ninety percent of the niggas admired her beauty, as she locked her eyes on only me. I knew what they all were thinking, but it'd be pointless for me to try and fight everybody. Natalia couldn't help that she was the prettiest bitch from here to Indianapolis.

  "One second," I told my people, and led Natalia to my private office. "Aight speak," I said after closing the door.

  "I got the first sonogram," she smiled.

  "The what?" I frowned and sat down on my office couch.

  "The sonogram… the picture of the baby in my stomach." she replied.

  "Why you telling me?" I scoffed, as I reach for the Jack Daniels and a glass, on the table next to me.

  "Because it's our baby, and I thought you wanted to know like you did last time," she said, playing with the picture in her hands.

  I sipped my drink, and looked at her through my glass. She was wearing a yellow halter dress that hugged her small frame. Her small, perky breasts were sitting up perfectly as usual. Her long, brown hair was in a side braid, with curls hanging out the bottom of the ponytail holder. She was glowing, which made her honey golden skin look lickable. I did not want to love her anymore, but I did, with every fiber of my being.
