I went back in the kitchen and began seasoning the hamburger meat as I waited for her to come in. I watched her from the kitchen window leaning against her car as she talked on the phone. Clenching my jaw, I had to stop myself from storming outside and snatching her little ass up.
“Why wasn’t you answering the phone?” I asked when she walked in the kitchen.
“This nigga.” She sucked her teeth and grabbed a bottle of water.
“What the fuck did you say?” I asked turning the stove off.
“How dare you ask me my whereabouts when your ass didn’t come home!” she yelled.
“Watch your tone.”
“Fuck you, Geek,” she said walking away with me following behind her.
“Who were you on the phone with?”
“Whose bed were you in last night?” she asked with her hands on her hips.
“I was working,” I lied.
“Working?”
“Yes. I had inventory to do.”
“Hmp.” She rolled her eyes.
“Ever since you came home, I haven’t even looked at another girl. How much I have to apologize for my one fuck up!” I yelled laying it on thick.
“You think living in this big ass house, fancy cars, clothes, and shit is free? I have to put in overtime to make all this shit possible!” I continued.
I could see her face soften up a bit as she dropped the scowl she wore on her face.
“Why didn’t you just call?” she asked.
“I’m sorry baby. I was just caught up at work, that’s all.”
“I kept calling and your phone was going straight to voicemail, I just assumed you were with someone else,” she said looking at the ground.
“You don’t have to ever worry about your place in my life. It’s secured. All I need in my life of sin is you and my kids.” I smiled kissing her soft lips. “Who were you on the phone with?” I asked.
“Tika.”
“That bitch crazy.”
“She’s not crazy! She just don’t take no shit,” Karrueche replied.
“Yeah ok. What did the doctor say about my baby?” I said rubbing her bump that seemed to have grown overnight.
“I’m four months now, but they say I’m gaining too much weight.”
“Fuck them doctors. Ain’t shit wrong with my baby eating good that’s all,” I replied as I smacked her ass. She was getting juicy, but I wasn’t complaining. I loved that shit.
“I decided not to find out the sex until my next appointment. I didn’t want to do it without you,” she softly replied.
“I will be there. I promise. Go wash up. I’m about to cook.”
“Ohhh, what you cooking?” she asked with a huge smile on her face.
“Fat ass,” I laughed. “I’m making taco bowls.”
“Yumm.” She licked her lips before walking in the bathroom.
I went back downstairs and resumed cooking dinner. I hated that I had to lie to her, but she left me no other choice. I wasn’t accepting her walking out of my life. So telling her that I was in a hotel room with some bitch was out of the picture.
Eyanna started blowing up my phone, so I decided to step outside for a smoke break and answer it.
“What?” I spoke into the phone.
“Is that how you answer the phone for your baby mama?”
“That hasn’t been proven yet,” I replied.
“You’re the only one I had the slip up with.”
“What do you want?” I asked.
“I need your help,” she replied.
“Man stop playing on my phone, Eyanna.”
“No, Geek, my living arrangements are fucked up and I need help until I can get back on my feet.” I could hear the desperation in her voice.
I wanted to hang up on her ass and change my number again, but if the baby she was carrying was mine then I would have felt less of a man for turning my back on her when she needed me.
“Where you at?” I asked rolling my eyes.
“I’m in the greens in Sunland.”
“What are you doing there?” I asked
“This is the only place I could afford to stay. I’m renting a room from this lady.”
“Whatever. Give me a few hours,” I said hanging up the phone.
I went back in the house and finished up dinner. Chopping tomatoes and lettuce, I placed them in a bowl along with the other condiments. I made Karrueche four taco bowls and sat them on a plate. I grabbed two bottles of water and went upstairs to serve my queen.
“Here you go baby,” I said handing her the food.
“Ohhweeee food!” She smiled as she grabbed the plate for me.
“Bae I gotta go pick up the kids. I’ll be back.”
“Want me to come with you?” she asked.
“No, eat and get some rest. This is going to be one event filled weekend,” I smiled.
“Ok baby.”
“I was thinking about having them move in with us permanently,” I said grabbing my shoes.
“I would love that, but what would ma think?” she asked.
“She gon’ fuss, but it’s time for us to be a family.”
“Well I’m down for whatever,” she said taking a bite out of a bowl.
“That’s why I love you,” I said kissing her before getting up to leave.
I had a few rental properties that I invested in, so I decided that I would allow Eyanna to stay in one of them. I sent her a text and told her I was on my way, before stopping at the safe house to grab the keys. Karrueche knew nothing about my rental properties and I decided to keep it that way. In fact, there was a lot of shit that Karrueche didn’t know.
When I pulled up in front of the run down apartments, I spotted Eyanna being extra friendly with some guy. I didn’t really give a fuck, but I wasn’t going to be waiting on her while she talked to some nigga. If that was the case, she should have asked that nigga for help.
BEEP!!
I honked my horn causing her to look my way. She said her final goodbyes then grabbed her Gucci luggage and walked towards my car. The scene before me was comical. This bitch went from living in the suburbs to staying in the heart of the hood rocking Gucci and shit.
“Hey baby.” She smiled once she got in the car.
“Get the fuck out of here with that.” I waved her off. “Check me out, don’t be having me sitting up here waiting on you while you chopping it up with some nigga,” I snapped.
“Aww my baby daddy jealous?” she smirked.
“Say some dumb shit like that again and I’mma put your bird brain ass out my car.”
“Ok,” she said putting her hand up to surrender. “Oh, here before I forget,” she said handing me a sonogram. “This is our baby.” She smiled.
“This is not my baby until the DNA test say it is,” I said tossing the picture back at her.
I pulled up in front of the apartment complexes that I owned. I made sure to move her into the ones that were on the other side of town. She was thirty miles from where Karrueche and I stayed; I didn’t want them to bump into each other and some shit popped off.
“You can stay here in apartment 3A until you get on your feet,” I said handing her they keys. “Here is some money to help you out. This is the last time I’m doing this shit so spend it wisely,” I said handing her an envelope of money.
“I don’t want to hear from you unless you calling me for that DNA test, now get the fuck out,” I snarled at her.
“You don’t want to come in so I can show you my appreciation.” She smiled licking her lips.
Watching her tongue ran across her lips caused my dick to twitch.
“Nah, I’m good,” I said.
“You sure?” she asked grabbing my crotch.
She unzipped my pants and freed my dick. I wanted to stop her ass, but the way she deep throated my dick made all the little bit of sense I had go flying out the window. Without gagging or coming up for air, she deep swallowed my dick until my nut was hitting the back of my throat.
I was still in a daze so when she pulled her panties to the side and slid down my pole, my eyes rolled to the back of my head as I let out a soft moan. I was fucking up badly, but it felt so good.
Chapter 18
Karrueche
“CheChe, can we have pink and zebra designs for our sleepover?” Tamia asked as we walked the aisles of Party City.
“Sure, is that what you want Tamya?”
“Yes ma’am,” she politely replied.
Geek’s mother was doing a wonderful job raising them. The girls were well mannered and they gave me no trouble. It’d been two weeks since they moved in with us permanently and I loved having them around.
“I remember my dad used to throw me and my friends sleepovers when I was little,” I smiled picking up some gumballs.
“Really? Grandma never allowed us to have a sleepover,” Tamia replied.
“Well then I’m going to make sure this is the best sleepover in all the history of sleepovers.” I smiled.
“Yay!” The girls cheered as we continued our shopping.
When we finished shopping, we went to the grocery store where I stocked up on snacks for the girls. I went through my checklist and made sure I had everything I needed to make the girl’s sleepover the talk around town. To be honest, I think I was more excited than they were.
Just as the kiddie spa specialist people came and began setting up, Geek walked through the door carrying the girls’ cake.
“I don’t see the purpose of you ordering a cake this is just a sleepover not a birthday party,” Geek fussed.
“It’s a sleepover party technically. It’s still considered a party and every party needs a cake.” I smiled.
“You know I love you right.” He groped me from behind.
“You do? Well I love me too,” I joked.
“You think it’s funny, huh?” he said pulling me in for a kiss. Just as he was pushing my panties to the side, the doorbell was chiming.
“Save by the bell.” I laughed and walked away.
“Hey Debbie,” I smiled greeting one of the twins’ friends.
“Hey CheChe,” she replied.
“The girls are in the back, go and join them.”
“See you later mommy.” She kissed her mom before running to the back of the house.
“When time should I pick her up?” Debbie’s mom asked.
“Tomorrow night at seven.”
“Thanks for having her.”
“No thank you for coming. I’ll give you a call if there is an emergency.”
A few minutes later, all of the girls arrived. The girls sat in the mini vibrating chairs and got manis and pedis. When they were done with that, I allowed them to play on the playground Geek had built in the backyard while I made dinner.
I decorated and set the table, placing princess crowns and wands in every seat. The girls all voted on spaghetti and meatballs so that’s what I quickly prepared. The urge to pee came over me so I ran into the hallway bathroom. Just as I tried to go, a burning sensation took over me causing me to double over in pain. The more I tried to push out the urine, the more my vagina began to burn.
Washing my hands, I went back to the kitchen and fixed the kids their plates. While the girls sat and had dinner, I pulled out my phone and began looking up diagnoses to my symptoms. The only thing that was sticking out to me was the fact that I may have contracted a STD. I wanted to run in the room and curse Geek out, but I didn’t want to scare the girls.
After dinner, I served them cake and ice-cream and sent them to wash up. Once the girls were in their pajamas, I popped them some popcorn and played a movie for them in the family room. The girls looked so cute laying in their sleeping bags, so I had to snap a few pictures for memories.
When the girls finally went to sleep, I stormed up the stairs and jumped on Geek.
“What the fuck you doing man?”
“Did you give me a fucking STD?!” I yelled punching him with my fist.
“Calm your little ass down and get the fuck off me!” he yelled lightly shoving me.
“I swear I fucking hate your dumb ass,” I yelled as I slapped him in the face.
“You hate me. I saved you from the bullshit you was going through at home and you hate me,” he snickered.
“So you going to throw that shit in my face? Well fuck you nigga I was perfectly fine before you came in my life. I may have not been living like this, but I was managing,” I snapped.
“Yeah ok,” he said preparing to leave.
“So you gonna leave without giving me an explanation?” I asked.
“You jump on me acting stupid and you expect me to sit up here and carry on a conversation with you. Karrueche I’mma need your young ass to grow the fuck up!”
“So explain to me why my pussy fucking burning when I’m tryna take a piss!”
“You tell me. Hell I know about you going to the hospital with your ex, you still fucking that nigga?” he asked getting in my face.
“You can’t be fucking serious right now.” I laughed.
“Chris Brown said it best, ‘these hoes ain’t loyal’.”
“So I’mma hoe now?”
“If the shoe fits, wear it!”
“I swear to God it’s a wrap for us,” I cried.
“Where the fuck you going to go? Go sit your silly ass down somewhere and shut the fuck up before you wake up them kids!” he yelled before storming out the room.
*****
“Here is your prescription. Now that you are carrying a baby you have to extra careful,” my doctor said handing me a bottle of pills.
Just as I suspected, I contracted Gonorrhea. Geek didn’t even have the decency to show up for my doctor’s appointment. As I sat back and looked at the sonogram picture of my baby boy, I couldn’t help but wonder where we went wrong. Geek went from my prince charming to an insensitive jerk overnight.
“Are you fucking kidding me!!!” I yelled looking at my car.
Whoever Geek was fucking was showing her ass. I examined the damages of my car and began to cry. All four of my tires were flat, my windows were busted, the paint was scratched up and there on my windshield in red lipstick red that read ‘Tell our nigga to come home’. This bitch was real brave doing this shit in daylight, I thought pulling out my phone.
I called Geek, but got the voicemail. Shantika was at work, so I called the last person I could think of.
“What’s up, Karrueche?” Eyanna beamed into the phone.
“Nothing much, Eyanna, I need a favor.” I sighed chewing the insides of my jaw.
“I’m listening.”
“I need you to come pick me up from the doctor’s office. Somebody vandalized my car.”
“Somebody did what? Where are you? I’m on my way,” she said in one breath.
I told her the address and waited for her to come. While I waited, I attempted to call Geek again, but still no answer.
“I’m so done with this nigga,” I yelled tossing the phone in my bag.
Eyanna’s car drove up the block and I was shocked to see that she had upgraded from that raggedy Honda to a newer model one.
“You got a new car?” I said getting in the front seat.
“Yes my baby daddy got it for me,” she smirked.
“That’s good.”
“What are you going to do about your car?”
“I’mma call Triple AAA and have them tow it to my house.” I shrugged
“Do you have any idea who did it?”
“Probably a crackhead,” I lied not really wanting to get into details.
“Where am I dropping you off?”
“You can take me to the Mr. Michaels.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
The rest of the drive was done in silence. When we arrived to the cleaners, I thanked her for the ride and handed her a twenty dollar bill for gas. When I walked inside, Mr. Michael wasn’t there, but my replacement was.
“How can I help you?” she asked.
“Do you see him?” she rolled her eyes.
“Excuse me?”
“Where is Geek?” she smirked.
“At home where he belongs.”
“Correction he ain’t been home in a few days because he’s been in my bed,” she answered causing me to charge towards her.
I punched her in the nose so hard that I felt it break. I continued to fuck her up allowing all my frustrations to pour out of me. If this was the bitch he was with, then that meant this was the dirty pussy bitch that gave me the claps. Disregarding her cries for me to stop, I continued my assault on her.
“That’s enough, Karrueche,” Mr. Michael yelled pulling me off the bitch.
Hawking up a wad of slimy spit, I spat it in her face and kicked her in the stomach.
“What’s going on here?” Mr. Michael asked.
“I’m tired of everyone and everything! When will I get my fucking break?” I cried.
“Shhhh. its ok baby don’t cry,” he replied as he rocked me back and forth.
“Tati, do you need medical attention?” he asked the bitch’s ass who I severely beat.
“No, Mr. Michael I’m fine. I’m sure I can go down to the CVS Pharmacy and pick something up,” she giggled.
“Fuck you!” I spat struggling to get loose.
“Fuck who Geek? I did that well last night,” she smirked.
“Tati, gather your things and leave now!” Mr. Michael yelled.
He made the mistake of loosening his grip, giving me the opportunity to jump on her again.
*****
“Are you hungry?” Mrs. Michael asked as we were leaving the hospital.
“No, I’m fine.”
“Karrueche, now that you are with child, you have to start taking better care of yourself for the baby.”
“I know.”
“Are you coming home with me? You can sleep in that spare room.”
“No. Can you please bring me home?”
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Yes please.”
“Remember what I said,” she said making a right and heading towards my house.
When I walked inside, the house was quiet and dark. I wasn’t in the mood to be bothered, so I turned off my phone and got in bed. Geek was right, where was I going to go? I had no money, no place to stay, and my car was all fucked up. I was expecting a baby in five more months and it seemed like everything for me was getting worse.
