“Yeah, well you or nan other mothafucka needs to be worried about mines. Trinity is my bitch and she knows what’s up. Regardless of what I say or do, she knows where my heart is and what’s understood don’t need to be discussed.” With that being said, Ray’Shun stood up and gulped the last of his Cîroc. “I’m going to take a piss.” He then walked his drunk ass into the house. On the way to the bathroom, he ignored the snickering coming from the three girls.
“You know; you should really start locking the door behind you.” The voice that came from behind him caused him to jump and damn near get piss on himself.
“What the fuck man? Get yo’ ass out of here!” he roared as he finished up using the bathroom.
It wasn’t until he was shaking his dick and getting ready to put it back into his jeans, that Eve walked over to him. Eve’s thirst for Ray’Shun was real. Although Be-Be was upset with the way he blew her off for Trinity, she refused to go back down that road. She felt she was a bad bitch and if his lil ass didn’t want her then the next nigga would; like Rock who she’d begun dating. Running after Ray’Shun wasn’t an option.
Eve on the other hand, she didn’t give a damn. A nigga wasn’t about to blow her off for a nothing ass bitch and Ray’Shun had to be out his mind if he thought she was gonna sit back and let it happen. Eve was gonna break them up and use the help of Trinity’s best friend, Monae, to do it.
“I don’t know why you flexing Ray’Shun. You know you miss hitting this shit just as much as I miss you hitting it,” Eve said as she ran her hands up his chest and wrapped them around his neck. She began placing soft kisses around his neck and Ray’Shun would be lying if he said it wasn’t putting him in the mood. “Just look at how hard you are. Tell me you miss me, baby.” As she gripped his dick, she tried to kiss him in the mouth but he turned his head.
Gripping the back of Eve’s head, Ray’Shun grabbed a fist full of her hair, roughly, just the way she liked and snatched her head back. Bringing his mouth to her neck, he bit down on it and sucked hard, placing a big passion mark there. He was fucked up off the weed and liquor that he wasn’t even thinking about what he’d just done.
He then pulled back and looked into Eve’s eyes, and with a smirk, he stated, “The only thing I miss is the fye head you give.”
“Well let me give you that.” Eve began to try and unfasten his pants but he slapped her hand away.
“I don’t want that shit either, though. You too damn thirsty for your own good.” He shook his head and walked out while fastening his belt buckle. Little did Ray’Shun know, Monae was snapping pictures and the smile that Eve was wearing on her face had both Be-Be and Monae thinking more went down in the bathroom than it actually did.
Though they envied Eve at the moment, neither let it show.
When Ray’Shun walked outside, Slim was shaking his head, which caused Ray’Shun to frown. “Fuck you shaking yo’ head for?”
“I ain’t said shit. You wanna hit this?”
“Nah, I’m already fucked up and gotta drive. I’ll holla at you some other time. Take my ass on before Trin starts calling.” Once Ray’Shun dapped Slim up, he left. He knew he needed to get his ass from over there before he got himself into some deep shit. Being in the same place with both Be-Be and Eve, that wasn’t shit but trouble.

Trinity had just stepped out the shower when her phone went out, and from the ringtone, she could tell that it was a text message coming through. She knew it wasn’t Ray’Shun because he’d just called and said that he was on the way, so she didn’t even bother to check it.
Her grandmother had gone out of town earlier that day, so Ray’Shun was coming over to spend the night with her. Trinity knew Grandma Mary would have a fit had she known what she was up to when she wasn’t home. She was slowly warming up to Ray’Shun, but he still had a long way to go. Grandma Mary was young once and was very familiar with his kind; everything about Ray’Shun screamed thug to her. She thought Ray’Shun was a bad influence on her granddaughter and she didn’t want Trinity to end up just like her mother.
See, Trinity’s mother, Toni was once young, naïve and sprung off the ‘D’ of her boyfriend, Eddie, which was Trinity’s father. Eddie was heavy in the streets and Grandma Mary tried to warn Toni that that man meant her no good and plus, he was damn near twice her age. While Trinity’s mother was only sixteen and still in high school, Eddie was well over twenty-five years of age and knocking thirty. Of course Grandma Mary didn’t like it but it was as if there was nothing she could do to keep Toni away from that man.
She would throw a fit and wreck the house when Grandma Mary would forbid her to stay away from him. One particular time she threatened to call the police on Eddie and have him arrested for child molestation, when she came home from work early and found him down on his knees with his head between her daughter’s legs. As if her almost having a heart attack wasn’t enough, Toni grabbed Eddie’s gun off the nightstand and put it up to Grandma Mary’s head. She told her that if she ever threatened to call the police on Eddie again she would blow her brains out, then she fired a single shot into the wall to let her know that she meant every word she said.
After that last episode of Toni nutting up on her mother, Grandma Mary just had to accept that her daughter was dating a pedophile. It had been many nights where she would have to lay in her room and listen to that man having his way with her daughter, because she was afraid for her life to say anything to anyone. And at the age of seventeen, Toni had given birth to Trinity and by the age of eighteen, she and Eddie was receiving life without parole for a list of charges, including murder.
Trinity had no relationship with her mother and she was totally fine with that. Now, she loved her as a person but as a mother, Trinity didn’t know how to feel about that. Grandma Mary used to take her to visit Toni when she was younger, but all of a sudden the long rides to the prison stopped and Trinity didn’t understand why until it was told to her that Toni demanded her mother to not bring her back up there, all because she wouldn’t take her to visit Eddie. Even in jail, that man still had a hold on Toni.
Knock. Knock.
The sound of someone knocking at the front door took Trinity’s mind off her mother. Sometimes she often wished her mother was there with her but it is what it is. She wanted to not take care of her responsibility to run after a man, then that was on her.
“Hey, baby. I didn’t hear you pull up.” Standing on her tip toes, Trinity kissed Ray’Shun on the lips. Instantly, she smelled the alcohol and weed sinking through his pores. “Man, Ray’Shun, why would you smoke that mess knowing you coming over here. You can’t be in here sitting on the furniture smelling like that.”
That boy was trying to get Trinity killed.
“Who said I wanted to sit on this furniture? Only place I’m trying to lay is in your bed with you on top of me.” With that being said, he picked her up and carried her to her room. Trinity didn’t even protest. She didn’t even ask any question as to where he was or nothing. All that mattered was he was with her right now.
Laying Trinity’s body gently on the bed, Ray’Shun hovered over her and just stared into her eyes. He might have a tough way of showing it, but he loved that girl so fucking much. Yes, he was still young and had a lot of growing up to do and one would even say he might find someone better than her when he gets a little older, but as Ray’Shun stared into Trinity’s eyes, he didn’t see that ever happening.
With a shy smile, Trinity caressed his face and said, “I love you.” She then grabbed the back of his head and pulled his face to hers. She kissed his with everything that was in her.
“I love you too.”
Ray’Shun planted small kisses down her body and being that Trinity had just gotten out the shower, she only had on a t-shirt. Ray’Shun’s soft kisses and the tickle of the wetness of his tongue mixed with Pandora playing on her phone had her body on fire. As he continued to kiss and suck on her exposed skin, Trinity’s hand never left his curly hair until he too
k one swift lick over her entire pussy before flicking his tongue over her pearl. Her hand shot up and covered her mouth so fast. No one was there but she still tried to muffle her cries.
“Oh my God, Ray’Shun baby. Please don’t stop. Gosh, I’m about to cum.” Grabbing the back of his head, Trinity held it steady as she creamed all into his mouth. With the way Ray’Shun worked his tongue, it would always have her cumming in seconds.
“Damn, I wasn’t even finished and yo’ ass done came already,” Ray’Shun said as he hovered over her and kissed her lips. Trinity tasted all her juices on his tongue and a moan escaped her lips. “Shit taste good don’t it?” he said with a smile. He was so handsome to her and not that she had eyes for Ronny, but he was that man’s twin.
“You do know that you can always go back down there and make me cum some more,” she giggled. Of course Ray’Shun knew that. He had plenty of times when he would do just that and had her little ass climbing the walls.
“Yeah, I bet yo’ ass would like that.” Getting up, he removed his shirt, followed by his shoes. Trinity watched in silence as he dropped his jeans and laid down in just his boxers and wife beater.
“What are you doing?” Trinity asked confusedly. She was under the impression that she and Ray’Shun would be going at it all night. Especially with the shit he was talking over the phone and when he came in sloppy drunk, she knew it was on. Ray’Shun was like an animal when he was on that liquor.
“Man, a nigga is fucked up. Come lay down with me.” All Trinity could do was shake her head and do as he said. At least she got hers.
The next morning, Trinity woke up to Ray’Shun’s touch. She stirred but didn’t open her eyes. Ray’Shun was rubbing his hand up and down her arm and sending chills through her body, as he hummed the lyrics of Tyrese “Shame” in her ear.
Feeling his wet lips on her forehead as he kissed it, he began singing the words out loud as he started running his hand through her hair.
Mistakes I made em, but I’m making a change for you. Have I learned is your question. And my answer, I have. But if you’re expecting perfection, then we’re not gonna last.
Ray’Shun felt Tyrese wrote that part just for him because though he’d learned his lesson, he wasn’t perfect; and if Trinity wanted perfection then their relationship wasn’t going to last. Plain and simple!
By now, Trinity had her eyes opened and was looking up at him. Now, Ray’Shun couldn’t sing a lick but just the effort that he was putting into the song, melted her heart and made her love him, as well as the song so much more.
Chapter 10
It was a Saturday afternoon and Shaniqua and Ronny had something in stores for Shaniyah and Destiny. Since they claimed they didn’t know where Kush and Man lived, they were about to take them to the place where they were meeting up at. Somebody was gonna tell them something.
Shaniqua was kind of skeptical about Ronny going to meet the guys but she knew he wasn’t going to have it any other way. When it came down to his kids, Ronny was out to get you. He didn’t care who you were, nor did he care how old you were.
“RJ, didn’t yo’ mama tell you to go put on your shoes?” Ronny asked his baby boy as he scowled at him. RJ was jumping on the bed and not paying him a bit of attention.
Yeah, Ronny and Shaniqua both knew their kids were a hand full, but they didn’t remember neither one of them being as bad as RJ. That little joker was bad as hell.
“Nope,” he said as he continued to jump. Ronny looked at Shaniqua and all she did was shook her head. His little ass could lie too because she had just told him, more than once.
“Oh, well maybe you’ll remember when I put this belt on yo’ ass.” When RJ saw that his father was unfastening his belt buckle, he hopped off the bed, laughing.
“You can’t catch me,” he said and shot out the room. Ronny couldn’t do shit but shake his head while Shaniqua laughed.
“I can’t stand his lil bad ass. You did that shit with all that babying him you be doing,” he fussed.
“How in the hell you figured I be babying him?”
“You think nobody supposed to whoop his lil ass. You see Ray’Shun or nan one of the other kids was hell like that when they were his age.”
“But he got asthma Ronny and you know how that shit is. I don’t want him doing all that crying and end up having an asthma attack.” Ronny shook his head because he was sick of her using that as an excuse.
“Yeah, and let that be your excuse when he’s walking around here beating yo’ ass. That’s why he doesn’t listen to you now because you let him get away with everything. I’m telling you now, I beat that ass when you ain’t around and he gets to showing out on me.”
Shaniqua figured it was something because RJ hardly ever wanted to just hang with Ronny. Sometimes he gets in the mood where he wanna hang with daddy, but he would mostly rather be with Shaniqua.
“Oowee… Really Ronny?”
“Hell yeah I do, and he ain’t had an asthma attack yet! And even if he does, I’ll give him that damn pump then whoop his ass some more.” Ronny laughed as he dodged Shaniqua’s swinging arms. “I’m just playing about the last part. But you need to start beating his ass. RJ is too fucking bad. Then you try to hide shit from me. Ni-Ni told me how he showed out at Wal-Mart the other day because you told him that he couldn’t get a toy. Then you turned right around and got the mothafuckin’ toy to shut him up. What kind of shit is that Shan?”
Dropping her head, Shaniqua couldn’t say anything. She was busted and wanted to go beat Ni-Ni’s ass for running her mouth so much.
“Ain’t no need in sitting over there all quiet. You better start beating his ass before he starts beating yours.” Grabbing his hat off the dresser, Ronny grabbed his keys and walked out the room.
Shaniqua rolled her eyes at his back and continued to comb her hair. She wasn’t thinking about Ronny. She disciplines the kids the way she wants and he does it the way he wants. Shit, she didn’t tell him and he damn sure can’t tell her how to raise the kids.
****
Dropping Ni-Ni and RJ off at Ronny’s parents’ house, Destiny and Shaniyah sat in the backseat quietly as they headed towards their grandma Samantha’s house. An ounce of excitement shot through Shaniyah’s body, thinking they were about to get dropped off. She hadn’t saw Kush in a minute and she was in desperate need of his touch and kiss.
“Which one of these houses them boys be at?” Ronny asked while looking through the rearview mirror. When he asked that, both Shaniyah and Destiny looked at one another with widened eyes. “Somebody better tell me something,” he then said.
“When you get to the four-way stop sign, make a right,” Shaniyah instructed. When Ronny did that, Shaniyah then let him know that it was the fifth house on left.
Pulling up to the house, Ronny killed the engine and got out. He knocked on the door but there was no answer. He was furious and thinking that the girl had given him the wrong house.
“That’s okay, I got something for their lil asses,” Ronny mumbled to himself as he walked back to the car where Shaniqua and the girls were waiting for him. He told them to stay in the car until someone came to the door then they could get out.
Ronny was very protective of his family and going to some random house that he’d never been, he had to make sure everything was okay. He didn’t care if Shaniyah and Destiny had been over there, he hadn’t.
Not saying a word, Ronny got back in and grabbed his cell phone. He began texting on it and shortly after he sent the text, one was coming back through. Nodding his head up and down, he then pulled off. Shaniqua sat over in the passenger seat and didn’t utter a word. She knew her husband and if she knew him as much as she thought she did, she knew he was getting an address to where Kush and Man laid their heads at night.
Shaniqua was right at what she assumed because fifteen minutes later, they were pulling up to a nice apartment complex. Once again, Ronny got out and went up to the door that was located on the first floor. Shaniq
ua looked confused seeing Ronny hug and smiling at some woman. Of course, she didn’t like it because she had never seen that woman before. Finally, he beckoned for them to get out.
“Ma, whose house is this?” asked Shaniyah. Shaniqua hunched her shoulder and told them to get out. She couldn’t get to that front door fast enough.
“Robyn, this is my wife, Shan, and these are our girls, Niyah and Destiny,” he introduced his girls when they got to the front door. Destiny and Shaniyah waved while Shaniqua cleared her throat and said a dry, “hello”. She was wondering who this woman was that had her husband grinning and shit.
Taking the woman in, she was okay in the face. She wasn’t that cute but Shaniqua had definitely seen uglier. She had a nice shape and a stomach to die for. This heifer was sporting a sports bra with some spandex shorts while showing off her washboard ass stomach. Her shit was so toned up that she put Janet Jackson to shame.
“Lord, I can’t believe your ass is married with two damn kids; and they look just like you too,” Robyn stated then turned towards Shaniqua. “Hey wifey,” she said with a wave.
“Nah baby girl, I have five kids,” Ronny clarified while holding up five fingers. Shaniqua was becoming aggravated because they went over there to let her know to keep her boys away from Shaniyah and Destiny, but there they were discussing how many kids he had. Both of their asses were about two seconds away from getting cursed the fuck out.
“What? Five Ronny? Damn.” Robyn was totally shocked by that.
See, she and Ronny went to the same high school back in the days and used to run with the same circle. She was one of Vic’s chicks and was madly in love with him. She was one of those uppity chicks that always wanted to make something out of life, so she would always pressure Vic to leave the game alone. It was only a matter of time before she left him alone, for good. Vic was sick without her ass too, and a year later he met Trish.
“Yup, three girls and two boys.”
She let out a laugh. “I can only imagine how those boys are. If they’re anything like you was back in the days, I know they hell.”
