“Humph,” she started off. “I just think it’s crazy that since she’s pregnant you feel I don’t have a say so over anything that got shit to do with the pregnancy.”
Ronny rolled his eyes upwards in his head because he honestly thought Shaniqua was reading too much into it. Leave it up to her ass to be all dramatic and blow shit out of proportion.
“So you really feel you don’t have an input on shit that gotta do with her being pregnant?” Turning her around, Ronny wanted to look into her eyes while awaiting her answer. Shaniqua rolled her eyes upwards and pressed her lips together with a raised brow. Her doing all that let him know that, that was exactly how she felt. “Do you really think I give a fuck how that abortion would’ve affected Destiny? Don’t get me wrong, yeah I would’ve felt bad and responsible if shit would’ve went wrong but at the time, I didn’t give a fuck. Destiny was too fucking young to have a baby and that’s all that was on my fucking mind, but because my fucking wife didn’t want her to, I had to go against what I felt and call the whole thing off.
What, you thought I changed my mind out the kindness of my heart? Hell fuck no! I changed it because my fucking wife, the mother of all five of my gotdamn kids said she didn’t think it was the right thing to fucking do,” Ronny exclaimed, truthfully. “Yeah, I might say some fucked up shit out of anger but when it comes to my kids, that shit is just that, out of anger. So don’t think for one second that I refer you to as anything other than the mother of Destiny.” The whole time Ronny talked, Shaniqua did what she was trying to avoid. She stared into his dreamy yet genuine eyes. Just like that, Ronny had her drawn in.
Twitching her lips, she tried her damnest to hide her smile. Folding her arms underneath her breasts she said, “Well you need to start thinking before you speak Ronny, because sometimes those words be hurtful.”
Now wasn’t the time to tell her that she needed to do the same, so Ronny smiled as he lifted her up and sat her on the countertop.
“Aight, I’ll be sure to do that,” was his reply, as he lifted her shirt over her head, throwing it on the floor. He then kissed his wife passionately as he prepared to make up for causing her feelings to be hurt.
Chapter 18
Ending the call with his pops, all Ray’Shun could do was shake his head. He loves his mama no doubt and wouldn’t trade her for the world, but that woman was a mess. It was like she knew what buttons to push to piss him off and pushed them every time he called home. How was he supposed to fully get over Trinity when she would constantly bring her up whenever he called? He was kicking it with someone in Jersey, but she didn’t equal up to what he assumed was still waiting for him back at home.
Shaking his head, Ray’Shun chuckled at his own thoughts. How did he assume Trinity to be waiting for him when he had no intentions of having any dealings with her when he moved back home?
“You okay baby?” asked Bethany as she looked up at him. Bethany was thirty-seven, nineteen years older than he was, and she didn’t feel the least bit of shame for fucking with his eighteen-year-old self. She saw what she wanted and went for it. Hell, it wasn’t like she was looking for a commitment anyways. She had a man of her own but there was no way she was going to pass up those green eyes of Ray’Shun’s when he stepped to her and stared into her dark brown ones.
Ray’Shun was very mature for his age and just like all the other eighteen year olds this day in age, he didn’t look that young. He looked to be every bit of twenty-one. Hell, he even had to show her some ID in order for her to believe that he was the age he said to be.
“Yeah, I’m good. I was just thinking about some shit my ma said on the phone. Her ass is crazy,” with a chuckle, Ray’Shun replied as he stared off into space. He could still hear Shaniqua’s voice. “Trinity’s not going to wait forever.” He didn’t know why his mother was rooting for them to be together so bad, but it wasn’t going to happen. Trinity had a lot of growing up to do and until she got her insecurities and jealousy under control, it would never be them, and she’s free to do whatever she wanted to do.
“Yea, I heard. So who is Trinity? One of your lil girlfriends back at home?” Bethany asked as she wrote her name invisibly across his chest before kissing the spot. Though she knew it was only supposed to be a sex thing, she made a mental note to fall back a little. His young ass would surely have a bitch falling in love and she wasn’t trying to do that. He made her feel young again and she loved that feeling.
“Not one, she was my main and only girl,” Ray’Shun clarified. Yeah, he dipped and dabbed a little but nan one of those hoes would ever take the place of Trinity, including Bethany. Little did he know, she wasn’t trying to.
“Well what happened with that? Why are you up here laying with me? Fucking the shit out of me damn near every night? Shouldn’t you be there with her?” When Bethany questioned him, he looked down at her and frowned.
“What does it matter to you? Aren’t you worried about the wrong thing? But if you must know, me and her are not together no more. We broke up right before I came here to visit.” Staring off into space, Ray’Shun said just above a whisper, “Two and a half years and I had to walk away from her ass.”
“So you don’t miss her? I mean, do you still talk to her on the phone? Y’all still keep in touch, right?” Bethany continued to stare off into space as she got in Ray’Shun’s personal business. He was never one to let people into his business, but he somewhat needed to express the way he felt and as crazy as he thought it was, he felt comfortable enough around Bethany to do just that.
“Nah. I mean, I talked to her like twice since I been here. That was like my first two nights here. I let her ass know that I didn’t want her and she could go on about her business.” He gave a slight sigh, reminiscing on their phone conversation. He could still hear her cries and pleads for them to work it out. “I said some hurtful shit to her out of anger. Trin is real sensitive. To be honest, I don’t think she’ll take my ass back even if I wanted her to.”
“But baby, you never know unless you call and see. I can hear it in your voice that you’re not over her. You think by sleeping with me it’ll help you get over her, but it’s not. We’ll never be together and we both know that. Plus, you’re not going to stay here forever. I’ll tell you this then I’m leaving it alone, you better figure out what it is you want before it’s too late. Meaning, you go back home and her ass be done sought comfort in another young nigga’s arms. Two years is a long time to just say fuck it.” When she said that, it was as if a ball of fire shot through Ray’Shun’s body. Used to his mother always saying that, he brushed it off, but to hear a complete stranger quote somewhat the same words had a train of thoughts rushing through his head.
Quickly shaking the feeling of Trinity being with another man out his head, Ray’Shun cleared his throat.
“You talking about some I should be there with her but you got a nigga in this state. Why the fuck you laying here with me damn near every night?”
Finally looking up into those dreamy green eyes, Bethany smiled widely as she straddled him.
“Oh, you don’t need to worry about daddy, baby. Best to believe mama makes sure home is taken care of before she comes out to play.” Leaning down she was about to kiss his lips until he flipped her over so that he was now on top of her.
“Yea and once you put his old ass to sleep you have to come get some real dick from this young ass nigga,” he said while planting soft kisses on her neck and face. Ray’Shun had been with older women before but never one damn near two decades older than he was. Shaniqua would have a fit had she known he was up in Jersey fucking a woman that was only a year younger than she was. That bitch was old enough to be his mother and that alone was a for sure ass whooping if Shaniqua found out.
Letting out a laugh, Bethany asked with a smirk., “Oh, so you think I don’t get real dick at home? You really think you laying pipe like that?”
Ray’Shun was now staring at her with a serious expression. “I didn’t say I was l
aying the pipe down but I know what I’m capable of. Plus, your actions show how good I’m laying it down and the fact that you call me most times let me know that you addicted to this shit.” With his last statement he gave his hip a roll, grinding his dick against her pussy. Bethany’s shit was throbbing by now. Ray’Shun sounded like a grown ass man when he said that, and it made her body crave for him more than ever.
With all the strength she could muster up, Bethany flipped him over so that she was now straddling him again. Reaching over to the nightstand, she grabbed a condom and rolled it on his dick before easing down on the thick long pole. Whoever said light skinned guys had a little penis, they damn sure lied.
Once she was fully down and felt Ray’Shun in her stomach, she leaned forward and gave him a peck on the lips. All the while, she wound her hips. He was feeling so good to her.
“Yeah, you lays it down. I give you that! But don’t think for one second that I’m that addicted to you that I will not be able to let go when that time comes. Baby right now…” She kissed his lips as she continued to grind her hips as he matched her thrust. He would be lying if he said her old ass wasn’t putting the whip appeal on him. Nonetheless, she still didn’t equal up to Trinity. “…This shit is just fun and games to me,” Bethany finished saying. With a smirk and a wink, Ray’Shun flipped her over.
“And we’re gonna take advantage of this shit until I’m ready to call it quits,” he said while rubbing his dick over her clit. That shit drove her crazy every time he did that. “Turn around so I can hit that old ass from the back.”
Giggling, Bethany did as she was told. Ray’Shun would always refer to her as old but because she had much confidence, she knew she was the shit so his choice of words didn’t hurt her. Hell, she didn’t even look her age so he could call her old if he wanted; it was plenty of girls his age that would’ve killed for her appearance.
Standing at 5’7, Bethany had sandy brown hair that hung past her shoulders that complemented her almond shaped dark brown eyes. She was a caramel complexion and didn’t have a blemish nor stretch marks on her body. She’d birth six kids with the older one being eighteen and had you not known her, you wouldn’t have been able to tell that she’d even birthed one, let alone six.
Placing his hand on the back of her neck as he pushed her head further into the pillow, Ray’Shun felt his nut building up.
“Ah fuck… Ah fuck… Ah fuck! I’m ‘bout to nut.” With a quick motion he removed his dick from inside of her and snatched the condom off. While he was doing so, Bethany was getting on her knees to catch every drop as she has been doing from day one. “Ah fuckkkk. Gotdamit man!” he said as he reached over and gave her ass a smack. “Yo’ old ass is a freak!” He then laughed.
“Shut the hell up. I’m trying to teach yo’ lil young ass some new tricks.”
“Yea I hear—,” Ray’Shun’s words were cut off at the sound of hard knocking on the door of the motel. Slipping on his basketball shorts while Bethany hopped off the bed and sprinted towards the bathroom, Ray’Shun then grabbed the fully loaded .9mm that his father had brought him the other day, that Shaniqua was unaware of; he dashed to the door. “Who is it?” he asked with the deepest baritone voice he could muster up. Bethany was in the bathroom praying that it wasn’t her boyfriend of eight years. Had it been, he would’ve killed the both of them.
“Open the damn door, young ass nigga,” he heard Slim say in a deep voice followed by a female laughter. Rolling his eyes upwards as he shook his head, he opened the door.
“Play too fucking much man.” Ray’Shun turned around and headed back over to the bed. He left the door wide opened so that they could enter.
“Damn, what the fuck wrong with you, nigga? You must ain’t get no pussy?” Slim asked with a chuckle. He was truly enjoying himself in Jersey.
“Slim, hush. I don’t wanna hear about my mama having sex with him,” Kadijah said as she hit Slim on the arm. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he pulled her closer and kissed the side of her cheek. Within the two months that he’d known her, he could honestly say she had him wrapped around her finger. The feelings he’d developed for her, he never had them for anyone else he’d been with.
“Bruh, don’t try me like that. You already know I tore that shit out the frame,” Ray’Shun bragged with a smirk, which caused Kadijah to roll her eyes and smack her lips at their ignorance, at the same time her mother was walking out the bathroom. Kadijah was still not used to her messing around with a guy that was the same age as her.
“Excuse me?” Bethany said as she walked further into the room. She walked up to Ray’Shun and stood directly in front of him. His tall frame overpowered hers. “What was you saying?”
Ray’Shun’s hand went to his curly fro as he gave a devious smile. “Shid, I was just telling Dijah I was gon’ be her stepdaddy.” Before the words even left his mouth good, Slim was laughing and dapping him up. He still couldn’t believe his homeboy pulled someone as bad as Bethany. Ray’Shun was like his god at the moment!
“Shid, what’s up daddy-in-law.” Slim and Ray’Shun shook hands as they embraced one another in a brotherly hug as if it was their first time meeting.
“Hey son. You better take good care of my daughter and no playing hanky-panky,” they continued to laugh and joke. As much as Kadijah was trying to hold in her laughter, she failed. Looking over at Bethany, she was sitting in a chair putting on her shoes while shaking her head.
“Ugh, I can’t stand y’all. Y’all play entirely too much,” Kadijah fussed. She then turned her attention to her mother. “Ma, Kev been blowing up my phone looking for you. Talking about you won’t answer your phone. I don’t know what he wants me to do. It ain’t like we left together.”
Kevin was Bethany’s boyfriend and the father of her last four kids. By her sleeping with Ray’Shun didn’t mean she didn’t love him or he wasn’t putting it down in the bedroom, it was just simply something about Ray’Shun that she found to be quite enticing. When Slim approached her daughter in the parking lot of the grocery store, Bethany kept her stroll to the car and surprisingly, Ray’Shun was sitting in the car next to her Range Rover. Of course he spoke and helped her put her groceries away while flirting at the same time.
Bethany knew he was young so she pretty much brushed his comments off. That didn’t last long and before they parted ways, she had slipped him her number. The rest was history.
Chapter 19
The holidays had gone by and New Year’s was approaching. It felt strange not having Ray’Shun home. To say Shaniqua was hurt when she learned that he wouldn’t be home for the holidays would’ve been an understatement. Since she’d brought him into this cruel world they’d always been together for the holidays. The kids were even disappointed and missed their older brother as well. If it wasn’t for Ronny calming her down and letting her know that Ray’Shun was grown and old enough to make his own decisions, she would’ve went to Jersey and dragged his ass home herself.
Ronny thought they both could use a vacation with all the drama they’d been dealing with, so he took his wife to Costa Rica to bring in the New Year right; just the two of them. Shaniqua was hesitant at first. It was Destiny’s first child and she didn’t want her to go into premature labor while she’s out of town. Yeah, she had another month to go, but anything was possible. While Ni-Ni and RJ stayed with Shaniqua’s parents, Destiny and Shaniyah stayed with Debbie, only reason being, Debbie would keep their asses in check.
“Ugh, when is my mama and daddy coming back?” asked Shaniyah as she flopped down on the couch. She loved her grandmother but she was ready to go home to her own bed, bathroom and food. Plus, all Debbie and Daddy Willie wanted to do was make out, and it was disgusting.
“When they get back! Why, you don’t like staying here with me?” asked Debbie.
“I miss my bed. I hate sleeping with Destiny. I like to stretch out and I can’t do that with her big ol’ stomach in the way. That’s why I came out here and slept on the sofa la
st night.”
“Oh yeah? And I’m gonna beat yo’ ass if you come out here and sleep on my sofa again. We don’t do that baby,” Debbie let her know. She took pride in her things. She might let them prop their feet up sometimes but sleeping on her furniture when there was a bed back there, she didn’t do. With a roll of her eyes, Shaniyah said nothing. “I been meaning to talk to you anyways. What you doing fighting your sister? Ain’t that girl pregnant? What if you would’ve hurt her and the baby?”
“Well Grandma, she started with me. I told her to leave me alone but she just kept going. And she’s the one that hit me first. She thought just because she’s pregnant I wasn’t gon’ hit her back. Tuh. My mama told me that if a person hits me then I better beat their behind,” Shaniyah explained with a smack as she impolitely rolled her eyes upwards.
Debbie looked at her little ass through narrowed eyes as she shook her head. That sounded like something Shaniqua would tell her, but she seriously doubted she was talking about her little sisters.
“Lil girl, you know damn well she wasn’t talking about fighting your sister. Her and Ronny both should’ve whooped your ass for fighting that girl. I swear they let y’all get away with everything.” By this time, Destiny was wobbling into the kitchen. “Look at her. Ain’t no way my damn teenage daughter would be walking around pregnant. Thank you lord for blessing me with two boys.” Debbie threw her hands in the air and praised God dramatically.
“Debbie, will you leave those kids alone. You bringing up that fight ain’t gon’ do shit but make them mad all over again. Let shit go sometimes.” When Daddy Willie made his presence known, both Shaniyah and Destiny gave thankful sighs. Debbie was just about to give them hell and they knew that.
“Didn’t nobody ask you shit Willie. Their asses didn’t need to be fighting in the first place. Oh and they know better to be fighting in my house. I have no problem whooping their asses and don’t give a damn who likes it or not!”
