“You ready to go?” Milan asked, shaking him from his thoughts. Nas thought it was a game, but she was done playing with him.
“I’m riding my bike like I just told you,” Nas replied in disgust.
“Okay, well I’ll meet you there,” Milan said as she walked away.
“Man fuck!” Nas hissed when he heard the front door open and close.
He wasn’t in the mood for the drama, so he was about to cancel the plans that he and Remo had made. As soon as he pulled his phone from his pocket, a text from Remo was coming through. Nas couldn’t do nothing but laugh because it seemed as if he and Remo were on the same page once again. He was telling Nas to cancel their plans because Kalani was going to the lake as well. It was all good to him. Milan could try to be on his back as much as she wanted to. She wasn’t going to stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do. Truth be told, she never could.
S tori woke up with the worst cramps ever. She was happy that she didn’t work on Sundays and Mondays because she didn’t know how she would have survived. She didn’t want to get out of bed but she had to bring Toi to school. She never let Toi stay out on school nights, but Misty begged her to let her little sister babysit after Milan backed out on her without notice. Toi assured her that she would be okay and Stori conceded. She made sure that Toi had her uniform and everything else that she needed for school.
“You can relax baby. I know you don’t feel good. I’ll go get Toi and bring her to school,” Gavin offered as he sat up in the bed.
“Thanks Gavin. Make sure you stop her somewhere to get breakfast too. She hates the breakfast at the school,” Stori said as she laid back down.
Gavin frowned slightly but he would do whatever his wife wanted him to do. Stori usually got up early enough to fix breakfast, but Gavin knew that she wasn’t in the mood. As much as Lady and her husband paid for Toi to attend school, she should have had three meals and a snack. Stori catered to her too much and it was annoying as fuck. Gavin was already in a foul mood because she was still on her period. Having sex with Misty was okay but nothing and nobody compared to his wife.
After completing his morning hygiene, Gavin grabbed his keys and headed to Misty’s house. Nas’ Range Rover was parked out front but Milan’s car wasn’t. Gavin remembered seeing him on his bike at the lake the day before, so maybe he was still on it. Instead of ringing the doorbell, he called Misty and told her to open the door. As soon as she did, Gavin walked in and followed her to her bedroom.
“Where’s Summer?” he asked when he didn’t see his daughter in her bed.
“In the room with Toi. Give me the money so I can pay her for babysitting,” Misty answered angrily as she held out her hand.
“You can kill that attitude. It’s too damn early for the bullshit,” Gavin replied as he pulled out some money from his pocket.
Misty was in her feelings because everybody was at the lake the day before but her. It was too hot and she didn’t want to bring Summer out there. She tried hard as hell to find a babysitter but she didn’t have any luck. She hated that her family lived in Texas because she didn’t have any help. Milan was supposed to be watching her daughter while she went to the club, but she never even answered her phone when Misty called her. Misty was already skeptical about leaving her daughter in her sister’s care, but she was desperate. Milan was too busy running behind Nas to give a damn about anybody else. Misty had to beg Stori to let Toi stay the night with Summer because she couldn’t afford to miss out on any money. She was pissed when she got to the club and saw Milan there following Nas like a shadow. He looked annoyed with her sister and Misty knew the feeling.
“It’s mighty funny how you and your wife were at the lake having a grand old time while I was stuck in here with your daughter. So yeah, you fucking right I have an attitude,” Misty replied.
“What’s up with you finding another babysitter? I’m surprised my wife even agreed to let Toi stay here on a school night. She don’t play those kinds of games,” Gavin said, ignoring everything else that she said previously.
“I’ve been looking. One of the girls at the club is trying to put me down with her niece. She’s in college and she’s trying to make some extra money. But, why is it just on me to find a babysitter? She’s your daughter too,” Misty snapped.
“The fuck is up with you and this attitude? You need some dick or something? I got some time. Come up out of them clothes so I can get you right before I leave,” Gavin said as he dropped his sweats.
He reached into the drawer that was next to her bed and grabbed a condom. He pulled down his boxers and rolled it on right as Misty walked over to him. She only had on a t-shirt with a pair of thongs. Gavin didn’t even try to be gentle and Misty didn’t want him to. He pulled her thong to the side and rammed his dick into her with force.
“Ah, shit! Fuck me, baby!” Misty moaned as she held on to the dresser.
Gavin wrapped his hands around her neck to hold her in place while he pounded into her from behind. Misty was throwing it back at him, but he couldn’t help but compare her to his wife. Misty had a nice shape but Stori’s was better. Gavin was the poster child for wanting his cake and eating it too. His wife could run circles around Misty and he didn’t have a reason to be unfaithful. He did it only because he knew that he could. Nas was married and had more side bitches than the average single man. Gavin didn’t want to feel lame, so he joined in on the fun.
“You need to kill that attitude,” Gavin growled as he stroked her harder and faster.
“Yes baby! Umm. Do it harder,” Misty moaned in pleasure. She threw her leg up on the dresser to give him better access to her goods.
Toi was dressed for school and ready to go. Stori called and told her that Gavin was on his way to pick her up. Summer had just woken up and Toi changed her diaper and gave her a bottle. She was on her way to bring her to Misty’s room, but she stopped before she got to her door. Misty was moaning and screaming, making Toi hurriedly turn around and go back to the spare bedroom. Although she was a virgin, Toi was far from naïve. She had watched pornos with her cousins at their grandmother’s house a few times before. She knew how it sounded when someone was having sex and Misty was getting it in at the moment. Toi was over an hour early for school, so she played with Summer until it was time for her to go. Summer was the best baby ever and watching her was easy money. After twenty more minutes passed, Toi heard talking coming from the living room.
“Toi, Gavin is here to get you!” Misty yelled. A few seconds later, Misty opened the door and walked into the room.
“I just changed her diaper and gave her a bottle,” Toi said.
“Thank you, sweetie. Here you go. I put a little extra in there since you came through for me at the last minute,” Misty said while handing her some money. She gave Toi forty extra dollars from her own money just for looking out.
“Thanks Misty. Bye Summer,” Toi said as she kissed the baby on the cheek. When she got into the living room, Gavin was standing by the front door waiting for her.
“Let’s go get you some breakfast so you can get to school,” Gavin said as he grabbed her overnight bag from her.
When Toi walked out of the house, he winked at Misty and walked out behind her. After getting himself, Stori and Toi some breakfast, he dropped his sister-in-law off to school and headed back home to his wife.
“Hey baby. How was school?” Stori asked when Toi got into the car.
Stori had laid around all day and got some much needed rest. She felt much better and she was no longer cramping. She didn’t even cook anything and she was happy when her mother-in-law invited her and Toi out to an early dinner. Gavin was helping his father paint his shed and his mother promised to bring them some food back from the restaurant.
“It was good. I made an A on the test that I took Friday,” Toi replied as she smiled brightly.
“Good job. I’m so proud of you Stanka,” Stori beamed.
Since she’d been in school, Toi had gotten nothin
g less than a B on her tests. Her GPA was always higher than a 4.0 and Stori couldn’t have been more proud. As nervous as she was when Lady left them, she had to admit that she’d done a great job raising Toi. She was smart, respectable and beautiful inside and out.
“What did you cook? I forgot to call and tell you what to fix,” Toi said.
“I didn’t even cook anything baby. We’re meeting Karen at Olive Garden. She knows that’s one of your favorite restaurants,” Stori replied while referring to Gavin’s mother.
“Yessss,” Toi cheered. “I’m starving.”
“So am I. I stayed in bed all day until it was time to come and get you. How did you make out with Summer last night? I hope she didn’t keep you up on a school night. I really don’t like you staying away from home, but Misty was damn near in tears when she called,” Stori replied.
“I never have any problems with Summer. Misty gave her a bath and she went right to sleep after that. She didn’t wake up until this morning. But, guess what?” Toi quizzed.
“What?” Stori countered.
“I heard Misty having sex this morning,” Toi giggled.
“What! With who?” Stori yelled.
“I don’t know Stori. It wasn’t like I was in the room. I was about to bring Sumner to her, but I heard her when I was walking down the hall. I just went back to the room and waited until she was done.” Toi shrugged.
“Yeah? And she just lost a babysitter,” Stori fumed.
“Stori, no. Don’t say nothing to her. She really didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t want to stop babysitting Summer,” Toi pouted.
“Well, she might have to start bringing her to our house. I’m not dumb enough to think that you don’t know what sex is because we’ve talked about it several times before. I just don’t want nobody exposing you to something that I’ve never exposed you to. You’re there to watch her baby while she works. It’s not your job to babysit while she gets fucked. She must have been loud as hell for you to hear her in the hallway,” Stori noted.
“She was,” Toi laughed as they pulled up to the restaurant.
“We’ll finish discussing this later,” Stori said as they got out of the car. Her mother-in-law had just gotten there and was already seated.
“Hey, my girls,” Karen said as she stood up to greet them.
Stori and Toi hugged her before they took their seats and waited for the server to take their orders. Karen loved Stori like a daughter and her son couldn’t have found a better wife. The way Stori raised her sister was commendable and Karen always complimented her. She was thrilled to know that they were trying to start a family. Gavin was an only child and she was ready for some grandkids. Karen was well aware of her son’s shortcomings, but meeting Stori seemed to be just what he needed. Growing up without siblings had a negative effect on Gavin. He tended to be a follower and he latched on to his friends. Right or wrong, whatever his friends did, Gavin tended to do as well. She was hoping that he grew out of it after his teen years but not much had changed.
Karen was a short, thick woman with flawless cocoa colored skin. She was feisty and outspoken, just like Stori was. She didn’t sugarcoat anything, especially when it came down to her son. She had a heart of pure gold, but she didn’t take shit from nobody. She didn’t pacify Gavin and neither did her husband.
“I see you’re keeping up with your new cut,” Stori said as she admired the pixie cut that she had given her.
“Girl yes and Gordon loves it,” Karen said, speaking of her husband.
“So do I,” Toi chimed in.
“Thank you, baby. And I know that this is one of your favorite restaurants so order as much as you like. You can get something to take home for later too.” Karen smiled.
“Thanks Mrs. Karen,” Toi said.
“You’re welcome sweetheart. You’re doing such a great job with her, Stori. I just know that my grandkids are going to be in good hands. That makes me feel good,” Karen said, right as the waitress came to the table.
The three of them ordered enough food to feed an army. Karen also ordered her husband and son some food to go. They enjoyed themselves as they ate and talked about everything that they could think of. Once they parted ways, Stori and Toi left to go home.
“Do you have homework Toi?” Stori asked.
“No, I just have to look over some stuff for another test on Friday,” Toi replied.
“Okay, well, let me know if you need any help,” Stori said when they walked into the house.
“Hey Gavin,” Toi said when she passed him up on the sofa.
“What’s up baby girl?” he spoke before she disappeared up the stairs.
“I got your food Gavin. Let me see if it needs to be warmed up,” Stori said as she walked into the kitchen.
Stori was such a nurturer. Gavin never had to worry about lifting a finger as long as she was around. She would cook, bring the food to him, get the dishes when he was done and wash them too. She nursed him back to health when he was sick and she went above and beyond her wifely duties.
“Thanks love,” Gavin said when Stori handed him a plate of piping hot pasta and breadsticks a few minutes later.
“You’re welcome. What do you want to drink? You got Coronas, tea or water,” Stori said.
“Bring me some tea,” he requested.
Stori came back into the living room with a bottle of tea and some napkins. She sat down next to him while he ate his food.
“Toi said that she heard Misty fucking this morning,” Stori blurted out, making him choke on his food. Gavin’s eyes watered as he grabbed his tea and took a huge gulp. Stori was asking him if he was okay, but it took him a while before he found his voice to answer.
“Yeah, I’m good. Who did she see her having sex with?” Gavin asked nervously.
“She didn’t see anything. She only heard it. Toi doesn’t want to stop babysitting Summer but I think it’s for the best. I’ll let her help out until Misty can find somebody else, but she has to bring Summer over here from now on,” Stori replied.
“I’ll tell Nas to let her know,” Gavin said.
“I don’t need Nas to speak for me. Her and Milan have an appointment Thursday. I’ll tell her myself,” Stori said.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea Stori. I don’t want her to take shit the wrong way and y’all get into it,” Gavin replied.
“Ain’t nothing scary about me and you already know that. I know how to approach the subject with class,” Stori assured him.
“Just let me handle it baby. I know that you can take care of yourself but let your man fix it,” Gavin said as he leaned over and kissed her lips.
“Okay, but she can consider this Toi’s official two week notice. She’ll need to find herself another babysitter,” Stori replied.
Gavin’s appetite was gone but he forced himself to finish eating. He didn’t want to seem too suspicious and have Stori thinking that something was wrong. He was so thankful that Toi wasn’t standing in the hallway when he walked out of the bedroom. That was too damn close and Gavin wasn’t willing to take any more chances. He swore to himself that he was done sexing Misty. He didn’t give a damn if Stori was on her period or not. He would just have to please himself until she got him right. He wasn’t willing to lose his wife behind being stupid and careless. Fuck a two-week notice, Misty needed to find another babysitter now.
“T hat nasty, trifling, no grip pussy having hoe. I wonder who her nasty ass was in there fucking,” Kalani fumed after Stori told her what Toi had said about Misty.
Thankfully, things worked out better than she thought they would. When Misty came to get her hair done the day before, she told Stori that she’d found another sitter for her daughter. She wanted to thank Toi for helping out when she needed her but she was at school.
“Girl, I don’t know and I don’t care. I just don’t want Toi witnessing all that bullshit. The last time she was there, Milan and Nas were in there fighting. I should have put a stop to it then. She don�
�t see shit like that at home and I don’t want her to see it nowhere else either. I know I can’t shield her from the real world but I can damn sure prolong it,” Stori said.
“Toi know what’s up. She’s smart as hell and you keep it real when you talk to her. She can handle herself in any situation. I probably wouldn’t have even been pissed if it was anybody else. You know how I feel about that nasty bitch Misty though.” Kalani frowned.
“Bitch, everybody in New Orleans know how you feel about her. Remo don’t want that hoe and you know that,” Stori said as she curled the sew-in that she’d just put in Kalani’s hair.
“Fuck him too! I can’t wait to go out on my date tomorrow,” Kalani replied.
“Don’t do it friend. You know what happened the last time you invited somebody to your house. Nigga ended up getting his jaw wired shut,” Stori laughed.
“That was dumb on my part to even bring somebody over there. I don’t know what the fuck that nigga be doing to get in my house. I’m tired of changing locks and I’m tired of tiptoeing around Remo. He fucks every bitch that come through the club, but he expects me to be faithful. I already got the other bartender to cover my shift and I didn’t even tell his ass nothing. I almost got busted on the phone with my boo but Remo didn’t say nothing about it,” Kalani giggled.
“Where are you and ole boy going?” Stori asked.
“He’s taking me to a concert at the casino in Biloxi and then we’re going chill at his house. I told him all about how crazy Remo is and he suggested ordering in. We can’t take the chance on being seen in public too close to home. He lives in a nice subdivision, so we don’t have anything to worry about. That’s the kind of area where nothing ever happens. They probably don’t even lock their doors at night,” Kalani said confidently.
“I don’t know friend. Remo seems to find out about everything that you do,” Stori pointed out.
“I know and I really don’t know how,” Kalani replied.
“Bitch, I think Remo and Nas work for the FBI. How the fuck do they be into so much shit? Nas got like ten different driver’s licenses and they all have his picture on them. I wasn’t trying to be nosey but he pulled them out of his pocket when he was trying to get to his phone. I just turned my head like I didn’t even see shit,” Stori said.
