“And that’s why I’m the real big brother. I play chess while muthafuckas stuck playin’ chess. I’m tryna see what Fallon gotgoing on and how she connected to that wack ass tow company. Can’t do that if she knows I’m onto her. So, if I gotta baby sit Braxton it is what it is.”
“You a hunnid percent sure?” I asked to be sure. I believed Lo if he said he wasn’t Braxton daddy then he wasn’t, but I was curious how sure he was.
“I been feelin’ off since Fallon told me she was pregnant. I didn’t trust the shit even more when Braxton was born. If y’all see he don’t look like me don’t y’all think I was the first to notice? I had him tested a few weeks after he was born and I been sitting on the results.”
“Nigga what?” I said with my eyes squinted because I couldn’t believe what the nigga had just said to me. “Is you cool? Fuck this we finna put that bitch and her baby out, Tuh-fuckin’-Day. I gotta be talking to Marlo cause Lo would never let a bitch play in his face,”
“Calm ya angry ass down. I got this. Trust me,” Lo said giving me hard eyes letting me know he knew what he was doing.
After a long stare down, I relented because Lo had to be plotting. As bad as I wanted to handle Fallon I’d sit back and let handle shit how he saw fit and be there when he needed me to be.
“Alright you got it. But I ain’t you and if I catch Fallon in some bullshit my trigger finger might slip. You be forgetting you gotta cut the snake's head off. So, them muthafuckas can’t come back to bite you.”
“I ain’t forgot shit, you better school Hakeem and not me.” Lo said shooting me a dirty look.
“Where that bitch ass nigga Rahmeek at?”
“The fuck he gotta do with anything?” Lo questioned me with a deep scowl.
“He a fuckin’ snake. The nigga just up and quit outta nowhere and you don’t see the problem with that?”
“His mama sick you know that shit.”
“What the fuck that mean? His bills sick too? A broke nigga can’t just afford to quit his job.” I couldn’t prove it, but I would bet my last dollar that nigga was up to something.
“Here ya paranoid ass go,” Lo groaned rolling his eyes at me.
“Alright, nigga watch you gon’ thank me when I save ya ass.”
“You two niggas argue like a married couple,” Hakeem chimed in shaking his big ass head at us like a disapproving parent yelling at their kids.
“Brother or not, I’ll fuck ya young ass up,” I playfully joked pointing my finger at Hakeem.
He scoffed at me then turned around bending over picking something out of a large bucket. “Awh, shit.” I heard Lo say then and I turned my head to see him carefully but quickly moving away from me.
“What the…” I started to say when I felt a blast of icy water hitting my body. I turned back towards Hakeem to find him smirking at me with two water balloons in his hands. “You little bastard,” I growled through clenched teeth. “You better fuckin’ not!” I yelled at him but that only fueled his fire, and he rapidly tossed the balloons at me before darting across the yard. I didn’t have enough time to dodge the balloons and they both hit me. I was finna fuck Hakeem’s ass up. Fuck a water balloon I was finna shot the little nigga in his pinky toe.
Chapter 29
Solana Thomas
A Month Later
I’m so tired.I let out a loud ground stretching my arms out. Anytime Marlo got me alone he was having his way with me and my body loved it. He had a way of making me react to his touch in the simplest ways. If it was for the sex alone I would swear I was in love with Marlo’s big dick ass. The stuff he did to me when he was fucking me needed to be studied and he had a never ending sex drive. It was like he couldn’t get enough of me. Everything I did made his dick hard, and I found myself trying to do things that weren’t sexy. Marlo didn’t care where we were either, if his dick got hard and I was around we were fucking. My skoolie had been turned into our sex hideaway when we were at work. No matter how many times I told myself I was staying off his dick, it never worked. He’d give me one of those sexy ass smirks and I would fail miserably because I always ended up with his dick rearranging my insides.
Sitting up in my bed I looked around my dark room not able to make anything out. The only thing I could clearly see was Marlo’s large sleeping silhouette next to me. I wish I could have been happy about him being in my bed but the uncertainty in our situation made it hard for me to get my hopes up. We never went a day without having sex and as of lately we’d been sleeping next to each other every night. The longest we went being away from each other was when he had his sister’s birthday party at his house. It wasn’t because he didn’t want me to be there because he did. He literally made Fallon leave so I could come over but I felt like that was too disrespectful for me. He was pissed that I didn’t come to his sister’s party. However, I did get to meet her and his other brothers afterwards. Marlo brought all them plus Mason and Mallory over to spend the weekend with us. We had a full house although it was a little chaotic. Everyone had a blast. Sunshyne was ecstatic and she had a bunch of kids to play with. Of course, Fallon was heated because Marlo didn’t bring Braxton with him, but I was sure he had his reasons. With all that being said and Marlo moving like we were in a relationship he had yet to vocalize wanting to be with me or even him leaving Fallon. He already told me about him catching her with the dude at her job but that was all he’d done. He didn’t mention leaving her, being done with her or giving any indication that they weren’t together. It had been weeks since he told me anything about Fallon. I really didn’t know where they stood. I was honestly just going with what made me feel good.
So, despite how Marlo was moving I refused to read into his actions more than I needed to without hearing his verbal conformation. Niggas loved to go lay up under another bitch when they were mad at their bitch. I didn’t think that was the case for Marlo and me. I felt like our connection was deeper than just fucking. I had feelings for him way before we ever had sex, but you could never be too careful with niggas. Until I heard himmake his intentions know I was going to play it safe. My feelings were already involved, and it would hurt me if Marlo was using me as a rebound. However, I wasn’t going to be foolish behind him. I’d done that already and I refused to do it again.
I just hated how connected our lives had become over the months. Thinking about what would happen if stuff went south with us. I’d probably have to uproot my entire life because there was no way I could continue to work with Marlo on a day to day basis and living in this house knowing he owed it wouldn’t fly either. I probably would be able to find something suitable for a while with all the money I was able to save dealing with Marlo. I thought I had convinced Marlo to let me pay for rent and furnish my house on my own, but he’d just pretended to listen to shut me up. As soon as I got paid the week after I moved in, the exact amount I spent on my furniture was on my check under the bonus category. Then every month after I paid my rent I’d mysteriously get another bonus for a thousand dollars. The nigga played crazy every time I tried to give him his money back, I just gave up and continued saving my money. I didn’t bother asking about how much the lawyer he’d gotten me cost because it wouldn’t matter, Marlo probably had the lawyer paid in full already. Marlo was a Godsend and he’d help elevate my life so much. The thought of not having him in my life caused my heart to ache tremendously.
“I thought I made you tap out?” Marlo’s raspy voice startled me causing me to jump.
I placed my hand over my racing heart as I replied, “Don’t do that!”
“My bad baby,” Marlo calmly remarked while he reached over pulling me into him. My back was against his chest, my head on his arm and his arm wrapped around my waist pulling me deep into his embrace. “What you doin’ up?” He asked, placing a kiss on the crook of my neck. I had to hold in the moanthat wanted to slip from my lips, knowing that was all that it would take to get Marlo ready.
“I don’t even know. I just woke up,” I sighed, feeling myself relax in his arms.
