Walking up to Pea's girl's house I hear him arguing with his girlfriend which was nothing new. Opening the door I walk in.

"Yo chill out". I said shaking my head.

"Man I'm in here trynna concentrate and they can't just let a nigga be". He said as I took a seat folding my arms.

"You want something to drink Jodie Jo". He asked looking at me.

"Nah I'm good". I said shaking my head and he nodded.

"Why you acting all shy my house is yo house Mi Casa is Su Casa". He asked as I looked up at him.

"Nigga I ain't acting shy". I said leaning back into the couch.

"Well, then we got milk, soda, juice, kool-aid you know what I'm gone get you some strawberry soda ". He said walking into the kitchen.

As I sat on the couch I heard him apologizing.

"Pea come here bruh". I said walking towards the kitchen.

"Nah I'm having a conversation with my family". He said looking back at me.

"Come on man I need you to chop it up with me". I said and he nodded.

"Where we going the strippers ain't at work yet". He asked as we walked out of the house.

"Nah man you don't need no liquor you already fired up". I said walking behind him.

"Fired up nigga I ain't fired up you the one responsible for what I'm dealing with, with them females in there still ain't found me no job". He said snatching the liquor bottle from me.

"Nigga you a grown-ass man why the fuck I got to look for you a job how about if you get off yo ass and stop playing that damn video game all day you could find one". I said mugging him as we stood on opposite sides of the car.

"You supposed to be my nigga my brother's keeper". He said and I shake my head.

"Aight then step into my office I'm gone give you one piece of merchandise if you can sell that Imma put you on". I say walking to the trunk opening it.

"I got dresses, shoes, baby clothes take a pick". I said moving some stuff around.

"I'm gone sell this dress right here". He said picking up a pink dress with pink and yellow polka dots.

"Nah man that ain't gone work". I said reaching for it.

"Nigga I know what I want to sell". He said pulling away from me.

"Aight do ya thang then". I said raising my hands up surrendering.

"When you seek that get back to me but I got to go pick up Jojo from school and take him to my mom's house". I said dapping him up.

Getting in the car I start it up and back out pulling off.

Pulling up at the school JoJo sees me and starts smiling before running over to the car. Leaning over I open the door and he gets in.

"How was school". I ask as he puts his seat belt on before pulling off.

"Good we got to paint". He said looking over at me.

"Y'all did huh so what did you paint". I said looking from the road at him before looking at the road again.

"I painted a dog". He said causing me to laugh.

"Cool but check it you gone spend the night at grandmas cause she been asking about you". I said looking over at him and he nodded.

The rest of the ride was quiet after that.

Pulling into the driveway I see Melvin's work truck so I park beside it.

"Here get your bag and do you have homework". I say handing him his overnight bag.

"No". He said shaking his head.

"Then leave yo backpack in the car". I said opening the door and getting out.

Walking in the house with JoJo behind me I hear the tv so I make my way to the living room.

"Mama I brought JoJo". I said entering the living room seeing her and Melvin laying on the couch.

"Granny". Jojo said running over and she picking him up.

"JoJo come here". I said and he ran over to me.

Getting down to his height I kiss his forehead before hugging him.

"I'll be back to pick you up tomorrow Aight ". I said and he nodded his head.

"Go to my room and watch tv". I said rubbing the top of his head.

"I'm out". I said before walking out.

Getting in the car I start it up and back out before I drive off to Yvette's place.

Hopefully she in a good mood...
