I stood in my kitchen in front of Parish as she mugged me aggressively. She was pissed and I could tell. She been having this stank ass funky ass attitude all day and I don't know why. I ain't even did ha ass shit.

"Everytime I tell Afeni to do something. You tell him to do the opposite.." She said. She had on a white crop-top that looked nice on her darkskin. She also had on some jeans and a flannel wrapped around her waist.

I ended up bringing her some shoes because I was tired of seeing them tired ass converse, respectfully. So I bought her a pair of Jordan 1s. The black and white ones, they looked nice on her.

She had her hair in a ponytail and some lip gloss on. Her lips were plump and beautiful, they matched her skin perfectly. They looked as if they were placed on her face but I knew she just had some good ass genes.

"How is he gonna learn right from wrong? I don't got time fa allat shit. He needs to understand that I'm in charge, I tell him what to do. You're confusing him.."

"How?"

"Uh- everytime I tell him something you tell him oh it's ok you can do this. He needs to understand ain't not options outchea. You either do what the fuck you suppose to do or you go the fuck to jail.." She spat.

"I ain't giving him options but youn gotta be so hard on him.." I said shaking my head, she smacked her lips angrily before slamming her hand down.

"Who's being hard on him? If i'm not being hard on him then who will? Do you see how he acts?" She yelled, I furrowed my eyebrows.

What the fuck is she talking about?

"Parish, what?" I asked with squinted eyes. "He act like a little boy.."

"A bad ass little boy.." She corrected.

"Ight? He bad. So? He gonna grow outta that. All I'm saying is you don't gotta be mean ta him."

"I'm not mean to anybody. I tell him when he's wrong.." She said.

"He's two Parish." I said.

"I'll rather nip it in the bud now. He's at the age where he's learning stuff and taking up everything around him. This is when you teach him right from wrong, what the fuck?" She said.

"Whatever sahn.." I said walking off.

"This nigga really think he gotta say in how I raise my fucking brother? Fuck outta here. I do what I want."

"I do what I want too, the fuck. You ain't finna tell me how to treat somebody. Just cause you fucking over him don't mean I will.." I said sitting on the couch.

"NIGGA WHAT? WHO FUCKING OVER HIM!" She yelled walking out the kitchen. Afeni wasn't here, he was at daycare onna li field trip so it was just me and her in here. She would've went to school but she got up too late so she was going to go tomorrow, i guess.

"Don't be yelling in my shit.." I said.

"Or what? THE FUCK YOU GONNA DO TA ME!" She yelled. "You really out yo mata if you think I'm fucking over my brother. I'm the only person doing for him. Only person putting shit onna line fa him, nigga fuck you. Youn know me.." She ranted.

I just sat here and listened to what she had to say. I ain't finna go back and forth with her because I don't know her and I don't know what her and Afeni went through in exact details but I knew how she felt.

I went through the same shit but my sister was older than Afeni when my moms died. My father ain't married, I don't know my father at all. Never heard shit about him but I did know how it felt to have do everything on your own.

"Like are you dumb? Tryna tell me- man FUCK OUTTA HEA!" She yelled, I rested my head on my fist.

She huffed and puffed as she stood in front of me with eyes squinted. She actually looked fine as hell when she mad but that's besides the point, she need to get the hell over whatever got her all mad like that.

"You done?" I spoke up.

"You don't care about shit I just said so fuck it.." She said getting ready to walk off, I shook my head.

"No you just sound dumb eshit.." I replied, she rolled her eyes at me and I couldn't help but smile. I ain't gonna lie, I can't wait to fuck her.

Her little mug face was so cute since she had big lips and shit. Everything was so perfectly coordinated on her face-she was perfect. There was no way you couldn't say she wasn't pretty. She may have had her flaws but that didn't matter. Her face card was it.

"I ain't going back and forth with you.." She said flopping down on the couch, I blinked.

I wanna fuck this girl so damn bad.

"Then shut the fuck up.." I said with a shrug grabbing my controller off the floor. She smacked her lips.

"I see why your girlfriend left you.." She said.

"What girlfriend?" I asked with my eyebrows furrowed, she smacked her lips.

"It be the acting dumb as fuck for me.." She said laughing as she typed on her phone. I wonder who the fuck she texting cause she don't got no friends.

I stayed quiet.

"Why y'all break up anyway?" She asked.

I smacked my lips. "You mad nosy Ma.." I said, she shrugged. I could throw this controller at her head.

"I don't care.." She replied. "Answer my question.."

I shook my head in disbelief. Her mouth was too smart for her own damn good.

"Ion gotta answer shit.." I said, she smacked her lips.

"You being extra as hell.." She said.

How am I suppose to tell you why me and a girl I'm fucking broke up and we ain't even broken up? What the fuck am I supposed to say? We still fucking? Nah.

"You being nosey as hell.." I replied.

"Whatever.."

"But since we asking questions, When Afeni  birthday?" My eyes shifted towards her as she sat there staring at her phone with a smile.

"December 12th, next week.." She said.

"What you gonna do?"

She shrugged. "Ice cream and a new truck. If I have some money.." She said, I frowned.

"That sound boring.."

"Uh..He has fun. We do it every year for his birthday.." She said.

Sound like he need some new shit ta do cause ice cream and a new truck every year? He deserves something more than that. Just cause youn got it don't me he can't have it, other people can do for him.

"Ight.." I said nodding my head.

Ima throw him sum.

——————

"Wassup nigga.." Pop spoke as we sapped each other. I moved away from him and rapped Ice up as well.

"Wassup?" Ice said, I nodded at them.

"Shit, chilling.." I said rubbing my hands together. "It's brick out dis bitch.." I added looking around.

"Yeah nigga, we been outchea.." Pop said.

"Where you been? You been ducked off and shit.." Ice said looking at me, I shrugged.

"I had some business to tend too.." I replied. Me, Pop, and Ice were not friends. I actually had no friends. I was a loner, I didn't like kicking it with a rack of people. Especially not these New York niggas, they shiesty as hell.

"I seen you with that girl and her little brother. What's ha name?" Pop said snapping his fingers.

"Parish." I said looking over at him.

Why the fuck you even care?

"Yeah. Laila told me she be boofin in school and shit. What you let ha use yo shower?" He asked with a sly smirk, I shook my head and laughed a little.

"Yo word?" Ice asked in shock.

"You really bugging right now.." I said looking at Pop.

Nigga acting weird.

"How?" Pop asked. "I ain't did shit.."

"You acting mad wocky bout somebody you don't even know. Chill out with allat.." I said mugging him.

"I'm just telling you what I heard.." Pop said holding his hand up, I shook my head.

"I ain't ask doe.." I replied. Why he acting so weird towards her? Niggas was just giving her a ride and shit. Now he wanna be all weird about it.

"Lord.." Ice said shaking his head. "I ain't gon lie Pop, you is moving wocky towards ha.."

"Niggas wildin bout some pussy they ain't even get yet.." Pop said shaking his head, I smacked my lips.

"Ni-" Before I could say anything else, Onyx walked up and shoved herself into me. She went to walk away but I  pushed her back cause bitch what the fuck is wrong with you?

"Move!" She yelled pushing me.

"Fuck you tryna get somebody attention?" I asked mugging her. I thought I told this bitch I don't fuck with her no more? I'm done with birds.

"No but since we face to face. Why you ain't been answering your phone? I heard you got some treesh and a baby staying at yo crib.." She said rolling her neck, I huffed.

Who the fuck is out here watching my crib?

I stayed quiet and just looked at her. She was looking so dumb tryna start some shit with me. Like bitch I ain't even yo nigga no more.

"Hello!" She yelled in my face, snapping her fingers.

"I already told you I'm done with birds.." I said, Ice busted out laughing as I stood there looking at her.

I fuck with Ice. Pop ass weird.

"Who a bird?" She asked with her face frowned up. I stayed quiet and just went to my phone cause I already said what I had to say. "Then you being rude like, what you can't talk to me anymore?"

"He done with you Oompa Loompa Doobeedeedoo.." Ice said, I started laughing.

"You embarrassing.." She said rolling her eyes before turning on her heels and walking off, I shrugged.

"She the only one who embarrassed doe.." I said looking at Ice, he laughed.

"She was talking about herself.." He said.

I looked down at my phone and sighed. I had some messages from my sister and my grandma.

Mahleeya

I'm tryna get this shoes that's finna come out
Granny ain't gonna get them for me

What's your grades looking like?

They look just like yours

If you love god you'll get good grades
Get the fuck off my phone before I beat yo ass

Come get me tomorrow so you can take me to my nail appointment
It's at 4
Don't forget

I shook my head. My sister was so spoiled but I made her that way. Ever since I started making money, I was sure she got everything she needed and wanted. She knew she could ask me for anything at anytime and I'll make it happen.

Don't get it fucked up, my sister remembers out struggle. She remembers what it was like to not have shit, I make sure she does. She understands that these things were privileges and as soon as they come, they can leave just that fast.

She one of the reasons why I kind of, gravitated towards Parish and Afeni. They reminded me a lot of me and Mahleeya situation. We was running around and shit until we made it to our grandmothers house but even when we got there, we still didn't have it.

We were still poor.

So I somewhat know how Parish and Afeni felt. I knew how it was to not have nothing and not knowing who to lean on when you needed help. Having trust issues.

I still didn't know what the stank ass attitude towards me was for. I ain't did shit to the girl but she gonna have the attitude until she realize ain't everybody out to get her or hurt her, that's all.

She just hurt.

I would be hurt too if my father out here breaking promises, lying, and turning his back on me. But I ain't know my father, I never met mine. I don't even know the nigga name.

"Aye, tell yo babymomma text me.." I said looking at Pop, he frowned.

"Fa what?"

"I need help planning sum fa this boy birthday.."

Ima do sum different cause what the fuck is Ice cream and a new truck?

———————

I had REALLY bad writers block for this.

I just want shit to go slow. At a good pace and shit but this shit blowing me how this going.

I don't know. Thoughts?

I feel like this chapter was literally. HORSE SHIT.

But oh well, I have a new idea anyway.

See y'all next chapter 😂.
