"No Long Talk"

"What you thinking bout?" Reese asked as we drove in the car on our way to his place.

We had picked Asia up from the station and she was fast asleep in the backseat. Her hands were clasped around McDonald kids meal box as she slept.

"Everything, what if he loses custody over Asia? What if he can't get her back" I rambled as multiple thoughts crossed my mind.

"He's not, Ima figure something out" he said glancing over at me.

"Can I ask you a something?"

"You just did and the answer is no" he replied making me straight face him. One thing that annoyed me about Reese was that he was either too serious or played entirely too much. There was rarely a balance and I wanted to smack the shit out of him half the time.

"Can you not?" I rolled my eyes.

"Ask what you asking before I change my mind?"

"Do you trust Rhyan?" I asked deciding not to beat around the bush. The way she was acting at the house was bothering me.

"Where you come from with that?" He asked as his brows furrowed.

"At the house earlier, why was she there? There was no car in the drive way now that I think about it so how she got i-" I couldn't even finish my statement as the sharp did a sharp u-turn.

"Why you didn't say some shit before? I was wondering why she was there too. She wasn't with Marcellus so something's up"

"I don't know. You think she-"

"I don't even know man. Rhyan been acting funny lately. Thought it was because I told her I wasn't fucking her anymore"

"Okay I didn't need to know all of that." I shook my head. Who Reese decided to have relations or not have relations with was none of my business.

"I'm just saying, why you over there looking like that. Better not throw up or no shit in my car" he said glancing at me every two seconds.

"It's that time of the month and I have cramps and those pain relievers I took earlier are wearing off" I said smiling as a look of disgust came across his face. Since I took the relievers earlier, the pain wasn't as bad, and I was thankful for that. Some days the pain would be too much and I could hardly move.

"I didn't need to know all that shit" he replied.

"Stop asking so many questions then and you be sharing information I don't care to hear either" I shrugged satisfied with making him uncomfortable.

"Don't get the shit on my seats" he warned me as if that's what I was planning to do.

"Aww man that was really in my intentions to do so" I huffed sarcastically.

"I got something for that smart ass mouth" he mumbled.

"You mumble too loud and I'm sure it's nothing I want" I rolled my eyes knowing he was making a sexually reference.

"Stay in the car until I tell you to come out" he said as pulled into Marcellus' driveway.

"My ass wasn't getting out anyways" I mumbled getting comfortable in my seat as he shut the door. I hit the locks and glanced in the back seeing Asia stir in her sleep. Turning up the radio just a little I sat back and waited for Reese.

A few seconds turned in minutes and soon almost a half hour passed. Asia had woken up and was talking my head off but I didn't mind. Soon a car pulled up and some guys got out. I got nervous until I saw Reese open the house door and let them in. He walked out and told me to get out the car. I quickly grabbed Asia and her food as her shut his car off and hit the locks.

"What's going on?" I asked confused one guy passed me, carrying a duffle bag.

"Leave Asia in the living room to watch a movie and come in the kitchen" he said before walking away. I quickly went to the living room and placed her on the couch with her door next to her. I went to cd rack placed the Croods in the DVD player. After setting everything up, the movie was playing and her eyes were glued to the tv with her hands blindly reaching for food.

Slowly stepping out, I made my way to the kitchen where Reese was with the other guys that came in. I recognized them from that time Joel had broke in here.

"We found drugs and shit in here" Reese said as if I was suppose to be surprised.

"Okay doesn't Marcellus sell drugs, just get rid off it" I shrugged.

"Marcellus sells some weed and he don't keep that shit where his daughter lay her head at. We found all types of other shit"

"What if-" I started but couldn't think of a reason why that would be here. Marcellus was a person who had rules and ways of doings things. He never did anything out of turn or order. So I knew that was most likely a set up.

"Nah he just called me from jail, Rhyan ain't have no business here"

"Oh shit, y'all gotta get this stuff out now" I said something crossed my mind.

"Because if shit is being planted then that means the cops gonna be knocking down his door looking for shit. This got his messy ass baby mama written all over" I added. God would have to crack open the sky and tell me she didn't do it for me to believe anything else.

"She want to make sure she gets custody" he chuckled humorless while shaking his head.

"Exactly and with him in jail on drug charges, it won't be hard to do" I replied.

"Pack up all this shit and get it out of here" he ordered the guys and the began packing shit quickly into bags.

"You know where she at now?" I asked.

"If she not home then Ima find out, don't worry about all that though. Just focus on making my niece know that her dumbass daddy didn't leave her" he said.

"I will. Never in a million years did I think I would be in some situation like this. This is shit you see and hear about in movies" I was shocked at all that had taken place in the few months that I've known the two of them.

"Where you think them movie ideas come from?" He chuckled.

"This is just a lot for me right now"

"You'll get used to it, here" he said handing me a bottle. I slowly took the small bottle and noticed it was pain relievers.

"See you could be nice when you want to" It was something small but it made me smile.

"Man shut up with that sappy shit. Go get Asia, we bout to roll up outta here" he said walking past me and out of the kitchen. I went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water before unscrewing the cap of the pain reliever. After take it out three 200 milligram pills, I popped them then guzzled down the water bottle.

I walked out with the bottle in hand and saw Reese standing there holding Asia. She was focusing so hard on braiding his chin hair. He was on the phone and trying to move his face away but she kept grabbing his face to hold him still. I laughed to myself silently before walking over.

"Come on" I whispered taking Asia from him. I placed her on the floor and walked to the door. Those two had her too spoiled, carrying her around the house every five seconds.

"I don't wanna walk" she whined. She has been doing this whining thing for the past few days since she left her moms house and it was annoying me.

"Little girl you are not a baby to be carried around all the time" I scolded her. Marcellus could tell her whatever but when I'm the one that has to deal with her daily, I decide what to not tolerate.

"Asia you better listen before I tell Chuckie to come get you" Reese threaten walking past us. Asia quickly stopped whining and grabbed my hand as we walked out the door. When we got to the car, I buckled her in and then went to the passenger seat.

"So what now?" I asked as Reese came into the car.

"I'm gonna take y'all back to my crib while these niggas handle this, then Ima come back and make sure shit is cool"

"How you know you can trust them?"

"These niggas? They know better trust me, Rhyan on the other hand, she gon learn" he said peeling off down the road. I decided not to say much during the ride so I just sat back and looked out the window as everything passed.

I hadn't even realized that I fell asleep. My eyes fluttered open and I slowly blinked trying to take in my surroundings. I was in an unfamiliar bed, and in a even more unfamiliar room. Quickly getting up, I opened a door and ran into a closet.

Stepping out, I tried the other door and ended up in a short hallway. I figured I was at Reese's place but I didn't know how I got in this room.

Walking towards the end of the hallway, I ended up in the living room and kitchen. It was a cute set up, not too big and not extremely cramped for space. Noticing feet hanging off the couch. I walked closer and saw that Reese was asleep with his arm covering his face. Asia was sprawled out wildly on the other couch with orange powder on her face and hand. The bag of Cheetos on the center table proved to be the culprit.

I didn't even know what time it was but it was dark, meaning I was asleep for a while. There was a knock at the door and I looked towards Reese not knowing if I should wake him up.

Taking a step forward, I was startled when I heard Reese's voice from behind me.

"You're up" I said but it came out as more of a question.

"I been up, heard your loud ass from the time you came out the room" he revealed making me from. I know I wasn't walking that loud, he was just being extra.

"I wasn't loud" I mumbled walking over to the couch and taking a seat.

"You walk like you wearing timbs on yo feet" he chuckled walking past me to go to the door. He checked the peephole before unlocking it. Some young guy handed him something before leaving.

Deciding not to speak on it, I just looked around taking in the space. I could see that he was way least flashy than Marcellus. He lived in a flat apartment that seemed to have two or three bedrooms. Marcellus on the other hand had a two story house with about five bedrooms.

"You not gon ask questions? I'm shocked, you learn quick" he smirked dropping down on the couch next to me.

"All the places to sit and you bring your ass over here"

"I bought this couch and don't fraud like you not tryna be near me" he teased licking his lips.

"Whatever, why didn't you wake me up before. Almost had an heart attack when I woke up in that room"

"You was looking like a beast, was scared to wake you" he laughed dodging my hands when I tried to punch him.

"You always clowning on somebody with your long face ass" I joked.

"You be acting like you don't do it right back" he said giving me a starlight face.

"Shutup, anyways what happens now?" I asked looking up at him.

"Y'all gon stay here until shit gets straightened out. These cops don't got much to hold him on so I hoping he don't act dumb. Our lawyer can have him out real quick" he explained making me nod in approval.

"Okay so lets set some ground rules. I know this is your place and everything but with me and Asia here-"

"I'll put clothes on when I walk around the house, I don't know why you acting scared of the dick" he smirked which resulted in me making a face of disgust.

"Yes please wear clothes and no randoms or at least warn me so I could leave and take Asia with me"

"I don't bring hoes here anyways and I ain't bringing nobody around my niece" he said getting serious.

"Good, well I'll be moving into my own place soon and Marcellus said I could watch her from there. So I won't be in your way for long" I assured him.

"What if I want you in my way?" He asked taking me by surprise.

"W-what?" I questioned wondering if I heard him right.

"You heard me" he said before getting up and walking to the back room. I leaned back and let out a deep breath.

This was going to be an interesting stay.

I know this update took forever. Being a full time student is time consuming. I'm taking summer classes so updating a lot just isn't realistic right now. I'm trying to but I can't promise anything and writers block has been a real bitch. But thanks for sticking with me and continuing to read.

Excuse any mistakes
