All I Want Is That Hood Love 2

by Mercedes G

JaMel was having Club VIP renovated and it looked damn good.

  “What’s up sweetheart?” JaMel hugged me and gave me a kiss on the lips. Even though he and I weren’t officially back together, we still were very close to one another.

  “Hey Mel!”

  “So how do you like the place?” he said referring to his club.

  “It’s amazing!” I told him. “I see you done added some stripper poles up in here!”

  “Hell yeah! You know I’m always about that money!” We laughed. One thing about JaMel is he knew how to get money, and he knew how to manage it, unlike his older brother Jay. We chatted for a few about my doctor’s appointment and my mom, until I was tired and ready to go.

  “Mel, I’m about to go back to Albany now. I’m tired.”

  “You sure want to drive back over there, sleepy and all? You do know that you have a home here, right?” he questioned as if I didn’t know. I didn’t want to stay at that house though. I just wanted to go home and get in my bed. Besides, I didn’t feel comfortable staying in the same house as JaMel just yet.

  “Yeah, I’m okay. I can make it,” I told him as I walked to my car with him right behind me.

  “You sure Taysia? I really want you to stay here with me.” He was slick begging.

  “Yes. I’m sure. I’ll call you as soon as I make it to Albany.”

  “Okay, make sure you do.” I got in my car and pulled off.

  Chapter 36

  Kira

  Rock left soon after Taysia. I hated when he left but I knew in order for this to work I had to let the man breathe sometimes. Rock and I had been blessing every room with our love. It looked like a damn tornado had come through in this bitch. I figured since he was gone, I would use this time to clean up this mess we had made. I can’t stand for my house to nasty, and when I get in my mood I have to have some music on while I clean. I turned on the radio and put Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen” on repeat. That was my ish! I could listen to that song over and over because it reminded me so much of Rock and I. Rock and I did damn near everything together; shopped together, smoked blunts together. He had even been trying to convince me to quit my job to make more money with him. I had been handling all of his money and bagging up his dope lately. Rock had me feeling like a damn trap queen for real. I was straight vibing through my house. I started singing loud as hell.

  And I get high with my baby

  I just left the mall, I'm getting fly with my baby, yeah

  And I can ride with my baby

  I be in the kitchen cooking pies with my baby, yeah

  After I finished cleaning, I jumped in the tub so that I could chill and relax until Rock came back home. I had filled my tub with bubbles and placed some coconut and fig scented candles around the bathroom. It was so relaxing. When I got out the tub, I dried myself off and put lotion all over my body. I threw on one of Rock’s t-shirt with no panties. I laid down in my bed and turned on the TV. I had missed a few episodes of “Empire” so now I was playing catch up. My intentions were not to fall asleep because I enjoyed waiting up for Rock to come home at night. Cleaning up this entire house from front to back has worn me out. It wasn’t long before I had dozed off.

  I woke up out of my sleep coughing irrepressibly. I could hardly see anything. My bedroom was filled with smoke and I could see the shadow of fire flashing on my wall in the hallway. Oh my God! I made my way to my bedroom door and I was trapped. The entire front of my house was in flames and the fire was making its’ way towards my bedroom. I was coughing something serious.

  “Oh my God!! Oh my God!! God Please help me!” So much anxiety had taken over my body that’s all I could say. I felt like I was having a panic attack as I made my way around my room searching for my window. When I finally found it, I tried turning the knob to unlock it but the knob wouldn’t turn. It was like it had jammed or something. I began searching for something to break the window with. I couldn’t see a thing and I didn’t know what the fuck to do. My mind was racing. I didn’t know if I was coming or going. I felt myself giving up, because I couldn’t even think properly, I was so scared. Lord, please get me out of here!!! I began to cry. I didn’t want to die this way. This had to be the worse way to die.

  “Kira!!!! Kira!!!!” I heard Rock’s voice calling my name. The sound was coming from my bedroom window. By now the fire had made it to my room. I somehow made it back over to my window. It was so crowded with smoke that I really couldn’t see Rock.

  “I’m here Rock!! I’m at the window!! Please get me out!” I cried.

  “I gotchu baby. Move out the way!!” I moved away from the window and I heard my window break, as one of my chairs from my porch came soaring through. Rock was right behind that muthafucka like Superman.

  “Come on let’s go!” He grabbed my hand and helped me out of the window first. Then he jumped out behind me. If I would’ve never woken up, my body would have been ashes. Thank God, Rock made it in time to get me out. I was surprised to see the fire department out here trying to control the fire. Did these muthafuckas not know that I was inside about to be burnt the fuck up? I was pissed but my joy of being alive outweighed it. I guess Rock was pissed too because he started going off on the entire fire department.

  “The fuck y’all out herr doing! Y’all can leave now! Damn this muthafuckin house! Y’all tryna put out a muthafuckin’ fire and my girl up in therr trapped!” He was talking hella shit. I could tell he had been drinking too.

  “Baby calm down, I’m okay,” I said in between coughs.

  “Nah fuck that! They out herr worried about materialistic shit! Make me go to jail out this bitch tonight!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rock this mad before. Then the ambulance pulled up.

  “And look at these slow muthafuckas just now pulling up,” he said and started walking towards them, but I stopped him.

  “Rock No!! Come on, just take me to the hospital. I think I inhaled too much smoke!” I was still coughing. The only thing I had on was Rock’s t-shirt and no panties, the same thing I went to sleep in. Everything I owned was now gone. I didn’t care though. I could replace those things, but I couldn’t replace my life. We jumped in Rock’s Camaro and drove me to the emergency room.

  “You know that nigga dead right?” Rock said to me as we got out of the car. I already knew he was referring to Jay. Rock was already pissed so I just agreed with him.

  “Yeah, I know.” I left it at that.

  NaTaysia

  When I made it back to Albany, I called Jamel to let him know that I had made it home safe. My body was drained, my baby was doing flips in my tummy, my feet were hurting, and I had to pee really badly. I opened my apartment door and ran straight to use the bathroom. I couldn’t hold it any longer. While I was in there, I went ahead and undressed so that I could get in the shower. I really wanted to sit down in the tub so that I could relax, but I knew I would catch hell getting back up. I wiped my pussy, flushed the toilet and turned the shower on.

  The steaming hot water massaged my body and it felt so good that I didn’t want to get out. I had stayed in there so long that the water turned cold so I had no choice but to get out then. I grabbed my towel and dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around my body and headed to my bedroom.

  “Ahhhh!” I screamed! “Mega, the hell you doing here? You scared the shit out of me!’” I was holding my chest as it heaved up and down.

  “Cut out all that noise and get yo’ lil sexy pregnant ass in this bed!” That’s when I realized I had dropped my towel when I screamed. I picked it back up and wrapped it back around me. Mega was laying in my bed but ass naked. He was under the sheets but they stopped right at his waist. His beast was lying on his thigh.

  “How did you get in here Mega?” I wanted to know.

  “You left the door open for me. I was planning on knocking but you just ran in the house and didn’t close the door all the way. So I came in and made myself comfortable,” he smiled and patted the bed for me to get
in.

  “Mega I’m not going there with you. Get out my bed!” I told him as I tried to snatch the sheets from him, and he pulled it back like he didn’t want me to see his dick as if I hadn’t seen it before. I don’t know what he was trying to hide it for. The muthafucka was so big that you couldn’t miss it.

  “I ain’t going nowhere. Come on, get in!” He held the sheet up on my side, so that I could get in.

  “No Mega, we are not doing this! You know I’m high risk!”

  “Taysia, get yo ass in this bed! We ain’t bout to fuck. I just want to lay with you and my seed, that’s all. I miss you. A nigga ain’t been up under you in months,” he said with a serious look on his face. A part of me was saying run the other way Taysia. Another part was saying, Taysia this may be his baby, let him at least feel the baby kicking or something. He deserved that much.

  “Okay.” I got in bed with Mega. My back was against his chest. His dick was planted in the crack of my ass. He placed his hand on my stomach and it felt like the baby was doing backflips inside of me. It’s so crazy how I always felt protected with him. Like, I was untouchable. His presence always gave me that vibe.

  “Taysia, you do know that this is my baby right?” Mega said as he was rubbing my stomach gently. It’s like the baby moved along with his hands.

  “What makes you so sure this is your baby, Mega?” I turned around so that I was facing him. This man was so handsome, inside and out to me. He smelled so good.

  “Cause I remember the exact night that I dropped it off in you.” I laughed, but he was dead ass.

  “You think I’m playing don’t you? I told you, you were mine. Now we connected for life ma. You can’t get rid of me now.”

  “Mega, this is not your baby,” I stressed to him. “How many times do I have to tell you that?” Mega didn’t care. It’s like he knew this was his baby. I honestly didn’t know if it was or not, but Jamel and I were at a really good place and I wanted to keep it that way.

  “You don’t even believe that.” He closed his eyes. “Don’t be trying to fuck me while I’m sleep either!” I couldn’t help but laugh at him. Mega was such a character. Usually niggas would be glad if a female said the baby wasn’t his. This nigga right here was telling me that my baby belonged to him.

  I laid there admiring his body. It looked like Mega had been putting in a few hours at the gym because he looked much bigger than the last time I had saw him. It took everything in me not to climb on top of him and slide his dick inside of me. I hadn’t been fucked in months. My pussy and I were having a mental conversation. She was ready to bust it open and I was trying to get rid of this addiction. I had to literally make myself go to sleep, because I had definitely started thinking about taking that Anaconda down through there.

  When I woke up the next morning Mega was gone and I was glad. I knew that the longer I was around him that I would go back to square one, and I didn’t want that to happen. I checked my phone and Kira had been blowing me up as well as JaMel. I called Kira first.

  “Hey bitch, what’s up?”

  “I’m homeless Tay!” she cried.

  “What? What are you talking about Kira? You need to stop drinking!” I told her.

  “My house burned to the ground last night. All I have is my car and Rock! Lord what am I gonna do?” She was crying so hard I could barely understand what she was saying.

  “Oh my God, Kira, what happened?”

  “I fell asleep last night and the Lord woke me up to my house in flames. Rock bust the window and got me out of the house. If he didn’t save me Tay, I would’ve died in that fire last night!’

  “Oh God! Kira, I’m so sorry, I am. Where are you now? You know that you can come live here with me right?” I told her. Kira knew that I had her back no matter what. My house was always open to her.

  “Yeah I know, but I’m staying at Rock’s crib for now. He’s taking me to look for a house sometime this week.”

  “You know Jay did that shit right?” I told her. There wasn’t any sugarcoating shit. I was not about to beat around the bush with her. She could keep living in denial if she wanted to. I know it was pretty hard for her to believe that her ex that she once was in love with had done this to her, but people change. Jay had definitely turned into a whole new person.

  “As much as I don’t want to believe it, I know he did it; everything that’s been happening to me, I know it’s him. I was blaming Alicia for slashing my tires because my heart wanted it to be her. I know it’s Jay who’s torturing me. Why won’t he just leave me alone? I’ve moved on and apparently he has too,” she confessed.

  “Kira you need to go and take a restraining order out on him or something before next time he succeeds at killing you. This shit is way more serious than you think! Keeping thinking because of the history y’all share that he won’t kill you. Jay is not the same person you once fell in love with.”

  “Rock already said he’s a dead man. So, whatever happens to him happens.”

  “I hate Jay! I swear I do! I don’t even think he and Jamel been kicking it like that anymore. JaMel told me that day I got shot at the hospital he was in and out of the bathroom using coke.”

  “Girl he was, and it’s like every time he came out the bathroom he was staring at Rock and I with so much hate in his eyes. I’m surprised he didn’t kill us both that day. I was so glad that Rock wasn’t paying his ass any attention.”

  “Well Kira, you’re grown. You know what you need to do. I personally, think you should go buy yourself a gun, and keep it with you at all times for protection, just in case. You never know what this nigga is up to,” I suggested.

  “Rock got plenty of guns here. Hell, I can just use one of his,” she laughed.

  “Girl, do you know how many bodies Rock probably got on his guns? You need to get one that’s registered in your name. It’s only for protection.”

  “Yeah you right. I think I’ma go up to the pawn shop tomorrow and get me one. Well let me get off this phone honey, my damn head hurting and I need a damn drink!” Kira said.

  “Okay boo, just call me later! Love you.”

  “Love you too,” Kira said and we ended our call.

  Chapter 38

  JaMel

  Today marked Taysia’s 9th month of being pregnant. I was always more than excited when I accompanied Taysia to her doctor’s appointment, but today I wanted to tell her that I wasn’t going. That’s only because she asked if I could swing by and pick up her mother so that she could go to her appointment as well. I remember plenty of times talking to Taysia about giving Debra another chance at being a mom. I had even told Taysia that she needed to start helping her out, but right now I wished the old Taysia was here; the one that hated when you mentioned her Debra’s name.

  I was taking JaMelia to the doctor with us so that she could see her baby brother on the ultrasound. I knew she was too young to understand but it was still something that I wanted to do because it meant something to me. I was going to pick her up from MeMe’s house when I made it to Albany. First, I had to pick up this devious bitch, Debra.

  “Hey son-in-law!” Mrs. Debra hopped in the car like everything was all good between us when she know damn well it wasn’t. I didn’t even speak back. Not even giving her time enough to close my door I pulled off. On the way to Albany we rode in complete silence. Y’all just don’t know how bad I wanted to turn down a dirt road and kill this woman. Every time I looked at her I thought about me releasing my seeds in her. Disgusted wasn’t strong enough for how I felt about her. I wanted to do some evil things to her. The fact that Taysia was now lending her a helping hand pissed me off. Taysia just didn’t know who she was dealing with. Then again she knows, but she’s at a point in her life where she is trying to right her wrongs. I couldn’t fault her for that. I turned down my radio.

  “Who baby you carrying?” I asked her breaking the silence.

  “Quit asking me that dumb ass question JaMel! What did I tell you when you saw me walking tha
t day?”

  A few months back I saw Mrs. Debra walking to her house from the store and I picked her up because we needed to talk. When I asked her the same question then, she said that I was the father of her baby. I told her that I didn’t believe that I was, but to be on the safe side I would take her to get an abortion just in case. She agreed. I took her to the Columbus Women’s Health Clinic in Columbus, GA. The price for the abortion was $600. I actually talked to one of the representatives myself to make sure that Mrs. Debra wasn’t trying to cheat me out of my money. When we pulled up I handed her the money and waited outside while she took care of our problem. There were protestors outside but Mrs. Debra ignored them as she went in. She came back out about four hours later complaining that her stomach was hurting. She even had a bag that contained sanitary pads in them. I didn’t even ask her was she okay. It should’ve lasted longer than that. Fast forward to now, here she was looking like she was about to pop. I don’t know what she was doing in that abortion clinic the entire time, but it was obvious that she didn’t go through with it.

  “You a sick ass woman you know that?” I told her. She rolled her eyes and looked out the window. I was going to lose hella cool points behind this shit. Here I was the owner of two of the hottest club in the 7 and I was about to have a baby with a damn crackhead. I really felt like God was punishing me real good for this one right here. He was punishing me for everything I had ever done wrong in my life, and especially for what I had done to my wife.

  I stopped by Meme’s house first to pick up my daughter. I always went inside of Meme’s house when I came to pick up JaMelia. This time, MeMe met me at the door with her. I could tell that she didn’t want me to come in by the way she was acting towards me. I didn’t care if she was seeing someone else, but I was feeling some type of way about her having whoever it was around my daughter. I didn’t say anything about it then, but I made a mental note to talk to her about it because I needed to know who she was bringing around my daughter at all times. We went to pick up Taysia then headed to the doctor’s office.
