Ajani Turner

It had been three days after Yoli had showed up to my house hysterically crying that I had finally heard from her and still I had no idea why exactly she was crying. The only thing she had kept repeating over her sobs was Angelo's name and I thought he'd gotten hurt but he'd called looking for Kaine while I was trying to comfort her and Yoli had made up some excuse to leave as if hearing his voice over the phone was to much.

Yoli laid back on a floaty and sipped on her Long Island ice tea appearing normal and like that break down hadn't happened. I pulled my hair down from the bun it was in and Yoli sat up and looked a little closer at my face causing me to frown.

"Are you wearing makeup?" She questioned and I shook my head no. I hadn't touched make up in a little while, partially because I'd been lazy and not in the mood to wear it. I picked up my phone and went to the camera swiping left as I looked at some of the pictures I'd taken.

"Do you like this one?" I questioned holding my phone out and Yoli leaned forward and took it from me. She looked closely at the picture before she gave me a thumbs up as she swiped again and gasped.

"You're such a baddie, you in that white one piece bikini is everything" She complimented and I thanked her as I continued to scroll. The sliding glass door opened and Yoli's demeanor changed as Angelo, Raheem and Kaine came outside.

For the most part they ignored us and soon Kaine was lifting weights while Angelo spotted him and Yoli's eyes remained glued to Lo like she was guilty about something. I cleared my throat and my friend carefully looked at me before she fanned her eyes like she was about to burst into tears any minute.

"I aborted his baby" She said quietly as she took a sip of her drink and tears slid down her cheek. I remained calm as if not to draw attention and Yoli continued looking at me before her eyes roamed over to Angelo who was laughing and teasing Kaine.

"Ajani I don't know what to do, every time I see his face I want to curl up in a ball and die because I didn't tell him. I didn't want to bring a kid in the world with him and like this and I don't think I'll be able to hold this in much longer because every time I close my eyes I think about the what ifs" Yoli continued and I was quiet for a moment.

"Gyal what's done is done, it can't be taken back and the only thing you can do is tell him if it's eating you up. But this could backfire horribly so maybe you should explain in great detail why you did what you did so he would understand where you were coming from. This is a sensitive topic" I said attempting to choose my words delicately.

"Well where do you think he'd be the least likely to get mad? Maybe I should just tell him here and now. Angelo doesn't give a fuck about a lot of things so maybe he won't care and he'll be happy about it. I don't care what you say I'm tell him" Yoli said nervously.

"Maybe" I mumbled avoiding her gaze as I gently kicked my legs back and forth in the water, she was setting herself up for failure. Yoli handed me her Long Island ice tea before she got off of the floaty and swam to the steps of the pool.

I sat her drink down before standing up and grabbing my towel, tossing hers as well in the process. Yoli looked determined as she walked over and as we approached where the men were lifting weights Kaine stopped and placed the weight back on the holder before sitting up.

"I don't like when you wear that bathing suit in public. You look sexy as fuck" Kaine stated as he eyed me. I rolled my eyes knowing the only thing he had to worry about was Saint who'd be a creep and sometimes peek over the fence when I was in the pool.

"Angelo can I talk to you for a second alone?" Yoli questioned and he seemed a bit taken back by her tone and unsure demeanor. I grabbed a hold of Kaine's hand as he and Raheem followed me back into the house.

They used the kitchen window to Spy on them wanting to know what was going on. I had to practically drag Kaine away from the window and he seemed annoyed.

"I got you bruh" Raheem called over his shoulder as he continued to watch the drama unfold and I tried to play it off as I pulled Kaine up the stairs. When we got into our bedroom I shut the door and turned the lock which seemed to confuse him.

"Promise to stay out of whatever is going on with Angelo and Yoli like I am. It should be between them, they're grown adults and they should work it out without our input" I said looking into his eyes and Kaine smirked.

"So there is some drama?" He questioned before catching on to my glare. He nodded his head as I smiled and pulled him into me laying a kiss on his chest. "I'll be good" he assured as he pulled the strap of my swimsuit to the side until one of my breasts were exposed.

Kaine cupped my chin lifting it up some as he stuck his tongue into my mouth and brushed his thumb over my nipple causing goosebumps to appear up my arm. I allowed him to pull the other side exposing both of my breasts.

He pulled the swimsuit down even more before he squatted down in front of me and ran his tongue above my bellybutton. 

"You're a spiteful ass bitch and I hate you!" We heard Angelo yell from the window. Kaine paused and I closed my eyes as we both stopped. Kaine got up and went to the window as the arguing grew louder and their were a bunch of curse words thrown around from both sides.

"Who would want to bring a baby into the world with you Lo? You're a bitch ass dude with no respect for women or kids. It was my body and if I didn't want to have the baby then you accept my reasoning and shut the fuck up!" Yoli yelled.

"If you didn't have a problem with what you did and you don't think you were wrong then why didn't you tell me? You knew your reasons were selfish and petty and you've been fucking around a lot anyway so I doubt the bastard was even mine!" He snapped and she slapped him in his face causing him to pull his pants up and turn his head.

"Bruh hit me again, I don't fight females but I got hoes that will drag you so get out of my face!" Angelo said as I fixed my bikini and pulled on a shirt.

I unlocked the door to our bedroom before stepping out leaving Kaine watching the argument from the window. By the time I got to the kitchen Raheem had stepped outside and got in between them as he pushed Angelo back some telling him to chill.

"Man watch out" Angelo said pushing Raheem to the side as he came into the house and moved passed me. I'd never seen Angelo ever really get angry so it was weird to see him go from the calm and comedic relief type person he normally was.

"Fuck him! I'll punch him in his face I'm not scared of him!" Yoli yelled continuing the argument as Angelo picked up his car keys that were sitting on the table. His anger had calmed down some and he looked over his shoulder.

"Tell Kaine I'll see him later" Angelo said to me before looking over his shoulder at Raheem who was blocking the doorway to stop Yoli from coming into the kitchen.

"Gyal you need to calm down, he's trying to defuse the situation by leaving" I stated as Yoli pushed her tears away. Raheem waited awhile until he knew Angelo was gone before moving to the side and Yoli walked into the kitchen.

"What do you have to drink? I need something strong" She said as she snatched open one of the cabinets and pulled out. As she rummaged throughout my liquor cabinet I spotted Kaine who was peeking around the corner.

"Bwoy, what are you doing?" I questioned trying to hide my chuckle as his facial expression. He looked around some more before his eyes settled on me.

"I wanted to be nosy but my dick was hard from earlier" Kaine said as he moved his hand allowing me to look and see if it was noticeable.

"It looks fine I can't even tell" I assure and he stepped around the corner and looked at Yoli who was opening and slamming cabinets.

"Tell your friend to relax unless she's going to replace my fucking cabinets" Kaine said growing annoyed and Yoli picked up one of my knives as Raheem preceded to laugh loudly.

"This lady is really out her mind right now. Why is she acting like this bruh?" Raheem questioned as Yoli went after Kaine and he pulled out a gun and and clicked it.

"Chill. If I shoot you it'll be in self defense" Kaine said and I pried the knife from Yoli's hands as she took a deep breath.

"Gyal maybe you should go home and cool off and I'll come over and check up on you later. I can bring food and everything" I try and reason.

Yoli grabbed her purse and left quickly as she preceded to cry again. Kaine looked at me as we heard the front door open and slam shut.

"Jani I didn't even do anything to her this time. I just told her to calm down, she can't be destroying our shit just because she's in her feelings" Kaine defended expecting me to get mad at him.

I looked at the time on my phone knowing that Knox should be returning from his play date soon. The sliding glass door in the kitchen opened causing me to look up at Johan who'd entered holding a cooler.

"What's in that?" I questioned as he sat it on the counter and opened it up. He pulled out a severed hand and I gave him a blank stare more worried about the fact that the bwoy was carrying it around.

"You got it? How when we searched high and low for Jenny's dad?" Kaine questioned and disbelief and Johan looked at the hand and smiled.

"Whaddup nigga?" Raheem questioned slapping hands with the severed hand and I watched growing amused at how childish they were.

Johan attempted to walk towards Kaine and my husband moved around the counter declining as he tucked his gun away.

"Bwoy don't be such a bitch. It just wants to say hi" Johan teased as Kaine took off running and Johan chased after him with the hand ignoring my husbands empty threats.

"I swear to god on everything you're really about to make me mad!" Kaine yelled and I could hear the squeak of sneakers as Raheem bent over and laughed loudly.

Someone rang the doorbell and I sighed and walked to the front before opening the door where Moses stood holding a Starbucks bag with his teeth and three cups in a cup holder.

"Aaron's not here yet, he's at an after school activity" I explain and Moses seemed confused as he came in. I took the bag from between his teeth and he shut the door and locked it before following me into the kitchen.

"Well I brought you a drink and a muffin" he explained as we sat everything down on the counter and he reached into the bag and handed me the large muffin that I bit into it right away.

As I chewed Kaine came running back into the kitchen with Johan not to far behind and he ran outside and Johan stopped running as I leaned up and pinched his ear causing him to groan and look at me with annoyance.

"Put it back on the ice and go wash your hands for awhile and then take a shower" I ordered as Moses looked at the hand Johan was holding. My brother rolled his eyes before obliging sticking it back in the cooler and he took it with him to put it back where it belonged until Kaine could use it for what he needed it for.

Kaine came back inside while Raheem laughed at him and washed his hands at the sink with steaming hot water and a bunch of soap. I shook my head and continued to eat my muffin while Kaine looked around for a sign of Johan.

"He's not in here, quit being a pussy. What is a severed hand gonna do to you?" Raheem questioned and Kaine ignored him as he looked at what I was eating.

I offered him some and he leaned down and bit it before walking away telling me he'd be in his office. The front door opened as Moses looked down at his phone telling me it was Aaron as he stuck a straw into a drink.

Moments later Knox came running into the kitchen with Aaron not to far behind. My son hugged me seeming in a good mood from his playdate.

I heard Kieran crying on the baby monitor and as I walked away Kaine followed me. He'd been trying to talk to me about the court hearing he had tomorrow and I couldn't hide how nervous I was.

When I got into Kieran's room I lifted my son up and kissed his cheek as I soothed him. Kaine shut the door so I couldn't leave out and so I laid Kieran on the changing table and preceded to change his diaper.

"We have to face reality and not ignore it even if it's not something we wanna hear. I don't want you to go tomorrow because I feel like you'll handle the news better" Kaine explained and I looked over my shoulder at him.

"Can you handle me not being there? You're talking about going to jail when your lawyer said it was such a small offense that it could go either way. Why haven't you told me what you've done?" I questioned placing a new diaper on the baby.

"Because I know you'll scold me and I won't hear the end of it. I take full responsibility for putting myself in this position" Kaine continued.

"The fact that I don't know what's going on is what's making my anxiety rise" I said giving him Kieran as I went into the bathroom and washed my hands.

"Just trust me like you always do. If your man says don't worry about it then don't worry about it" Kaine said as he stood in the doorway. He leaned in and I kissed his lips before taking Kieran back from him and we exited out of the bedroom and went down the stairs.

Knox was holding a muffin and biting into it as Aaron lifted him up and sat him on top of the counter. A single gunshot went off from outside and Kaine grabbed Knox from off of the counter but Raheem stopped him before he could do anything else.

Raheem motioned for Moses to come with him and they left out the back door as Aaron took Kieran from my arms.

"That sounded like is dislodged on accident, there was only one gunshot" Kaine said quietly only to have his suspicions confirmed when Raheem returned laughing and motioned for Kaine and I to come outside.

"Keep the babies inside Ron, this dumbass shot himself on accident" Raheem laughed. I went outside and we walked to the guest house where Julez laid on the floor holding his thigh and a glass of alcohol was shattered on the ground next to him.

"I'm so thirsty" He moaned as Moses squatted down near him and tried to help but he refused and shoved him away.

"Get away from me batty bwoy, I don't need your help" Julez groaned and I flicked him in the mouth before asking for someone to get me a knife and his eyes widened.

"Jani wait! I'm sorry" he moaned drooling and I rolled my eyes as I was handed a pocket knife which I used to cut his jeans to look at the wound.

"That looks bad, maybe you should get it looked at" I shrugged handing the knife back to Carter as I stood up and he went to help Julez up but I stopped him.

"Boss what are you doing? The bwoy needs help, how is he going to get to the hospital?" Carter questioned and I blinked.

"If the bwoy wants to go he'll ask the batty bwoy to drive him" I mocked and Julez laid back and stared at the ceiling knowing he was stuck. Moses looked down at him for awhile before up at me.

When Julez remained silent I shrugged and turned to walk away only for him to call out for me seeming terrified. I paused and looked over my shoulder awaiting for him to say something but he continued to be stubborn.

"I'd rather die than ask him for help" he stated and I nodded my head before I preceded to walk out the door and Julez called my name again.

"Boss wait! I'm sorry please just help!" Julez yelled before he slowly looked at Moses and stubbornly asked the bwoy for help.

Moses pulled him up and Julez winced as he draped his arm over Moses' shoulder and the bwoy helped him out.

"If help is being offered to you by someone that's working with us than you take it or die for all I care, especially if the reason you deny the help in the first place is petty and dumb as fuck" I said loud enough for the guards standing around to hear.

A few of them laughed at Julez and his stupidity as he whimpered like a likkle gyal and helped to the car. I watched his grip tighten on Moses' shoulder as he slumped down some and attempting to not put pressure on one of his legs.

"How did the bwoy even shoot himself? And where is Kemba?" I questioned one of the guards and he folded his arms and took a deep breath as he stared at me for awhile expecting me to yell at him.

"I don't exactly know the answer to those questions boss. I just got on duty" He said fearfully and I blinked and stared at him for awhile before going back into the house.

Kaine was attempting to hide his laughter and I gave him a look and he stopped. His arm draped around my body as Aaron handed me my ringing cellphone with my uncles number flashing on the screen

"Yes uncle MoMo?" I questioned knowing that nickname irritated him to no end. He took a deep breath and I could tell he was trying to refrain from showing his annoyance.

"I told you not to call me that anymore. Have dinner with me tonight and don't tell Kaine or he'll want to tag along" My uncle said causing me to laugh.

Kaine kissed my neck before looking at me and I pushed him back some so he wouldn't overhear the conversation.

"Who is that?" Kaine questioned as he tried to lean forward and I pushed him back some and held a finger up causing him to bend my finger backwards.

"Yeah uncle Mo I'll bring Nandy some soup" I said and Kaine let go of my finger as he furrowed his eyebrows probably wondering why I had to bring her soup.

"I'll text you in a little while" My uncle said before hanging up. When I sat my phone down I looked at Kaine who folded his arms.

"Why do you have to bring that annoying broad soup?" Kaine asked and I ignored him and lifted Knox up attacking my son with kisses as he tried to block with his hands.

"Kaine I'm just brining Nandy soup, calm down" I said lowering Knox to the ground. Knox reached up trying to touch Kieran who was still being held by Aaron.

Ron squatted down supporting Kieran's head and allowed Knox to touch his head softly before kissing his cheek. Kieran blinked making a noise as I smiled only to drop it when I noticed Kaine was squinting his eyes at me.

"Bwoy go put your glasses on and stop squinting at me" I demanded and he looked me over before going to do as told taking Kieran from Aaron's arms. I laughed off his suspicions and when I looked down Knox was doing the same squint as his fadda.

"Bambino you don't trust me either?" I questioned as my son hugged my thigh as he eventually stopped squinting and began smiling instead revealing his dimples.

-

"I taught you better than that Ajani you can do it" My uncle encouraged and I glanced at him briefly before looking through the scope. There was a woman with long blonde hair exiting out of a car but when she turned her head it revealed to not be Jenny, more like a body double.

"It's not her, those are her security guards but it's not her" I said glancing at Mo who remained squatted down beside me. He ate a French fry and chewed as if he was weighing in what I said.

Already knowing where this was going I aimed the gun before sniping the duplicate in the head and as everyone ran off I began sniping out a few members of the mob. Moriah remained silent as he looked up at everything that was going on.

"You couldn't wait for me to tell you to do it?" He questioned in a simple tone. I ignored him and aimed the sniper at someone else when I noticed he held up a little girl while he attempted to run and I frowned
