Chapter 12

SeniaMarie Milano

It was 2 in the morning and Rah hadn't reach home as yet...part of me was worried and part of me was feeling like he was just doing this on purpose.

Erin sent you a message.

Erin-biiitch background!!!

I opened the message seeing a link. Tapping it, it led me straight to Tez's Ig page.

"We ouchea. Steppin' on you bitch made niggas!" Loke yelled as I looked at the videos confusingly.

And then it hit me.

I saw Rah in the background holding hands with Candace. My stomach was weak. He looked at her with a slight smile as she seductively glared back at him.

Imma kill him.

I went to my call log and began to ring off his phone but for each time it was no answer. I scoffed shaking my head at this niggas actions.

He lied.

Another hour had passed and I couldn't take the staying awake thing anymore. I felt myself slowly drifting off.

I woke up as my eyes drifted off straight to the alarm clock on the night stand seeing that it was a quarter after nine. Rolling over the bed was empty and my blood began to boil I grabbed my phone seeing that it was dead and got up plugging in the charger.

Going to the bureau I saw his shoes that he'd supposedly wore last night which indicated that he was here.

I walked out of the room and I got to Tae's room door where he sat eating McDonald's breakfast watching nick jr.

Another sound was coming from the living room so he had to still be here. Closing Tae's door softy, I walked to the living room where Rah sat on the couch in an undershirt and sweats.

"Where were you Rahmik?" I asked folding my arms as his head turned towards me.

"I had some shit I was dealing with ma. Breakfast on the counter." He said gesturing towards the McDonalds.

"What shit, you said twelve. I waited till 3 in the morning." I asked as he took his two hands and held his head.

"Baby I'm really not tryna do allat arguing shit today, please man..." he trailed off.

"Rah you can't pick and choose when I get upset especially about shit like this." I said trying not to get too loud.

"I called you like five times, you didn't answer one of my calls and if I might add you didn't even bother to return any..."

"That's on me...." He said looking up at me with some sincerity there, I shook my head seeing that he was just tryna shut me up, but when it came to me he wanted to have the most to say.

"No Rah this isn't just something you ca-"

"Nia I fuckin' told you alright. There was shit that had to get dealt with, it was few fuckin' hours later, so chill off that shit cause I really ain't tryna do allat today" He said sternly getting in my face now towering me.

"I swear every time I do some shit you ouchea actin like my mama. You're my woman. You fuck me, you suck me and you be inna fuckin' kitchen when I need you to."

"All that extra fuck you be at ain't called for forreal. I make sure everything's taken care of. You don't got a worry bout shit bro." He said as I stood there in awe.

I shook my head and left the area going back down the hall stopping to Tae's room.

"Hey get ready ok?" I said smiling small.

"Are you ok Nia?" He asked looking back at me.

"Yea baby I'm fine."

"Is Rah mad again?" He asked and I nodded trying not to cry or as a fact show any emotion.

"Yea he's just being mean right now, but go wash up so we can head out." I said to him.

"Ok." He said smiling as I walked out seeing Rah passed the door as if he was headed in the room. I rolled my eyes going towards the room.

I saw him sitting on the bed with his back and head against the bored with his feet crossed smoking a blunt.

I walked to the closet picking out a selection seeing what I wanted to wear.

I got me a split colored sweater- blacks and white with some rip jeans and decided to settle it with my combat boots. I wasn't about to get all fussy knowing I was probably only about to take us to lunch and probably him to the arcade.

I wasn't bout to stay here and do nothing while I only existed to Rah when his dick needed releasing.

Grabbing a towel I walked out of the closet.

"Where you goin'?" He asked almost immediately.

"Bout my business." I said rolling my eyes hard gong into the bathroom closing the door...

After taking my shower and I wrapped my towel around myself I stepped out the bathroom. Seeing that Rah was no longer in the bed I figured that he probably went back into the living room walking out the room I went to check to see if Tae's was already dressed.

"Tae you ready?" I approached the room seeing that he was no longer there and the television was off.

Confused I walked to the living room and kitchen where it was also empty.

Huffing I went back to the room and took my phone off charge dialing Rah's number.

"Hello."

"What the fuck Rah!"

"What" he spat.

"You better bring him back now. I'm not playin with you..."

"Or what? Ain chu goin bout business shawty?" He chuckled using my line against me.

"Rah-"

"Nah Nia. Go enjoy yourself. We bout to have our fun. Ain't that right lil man."

"Yup." I heard Tae slow self laugh in the background.

"Rah you knew I was headed out with him why would you do something like this?" I asked feeling kind of defeated.

"No Nia. You was bout to do what you was bout to-to spite me. I want you to know that there's no being smart when it comes to me."

"You know what I don't care do you and imma do me..."

"You sure bout that?" He chuckled.

"Man Nia you not stupid. You got all your sense to know better than to play like that." He said in tone that was so cold.

"There's a card on the bureau. I set your appointment with Gina. Your ride bout to be there in a few. Go enjoy yourself." Was all he said before he hung up.

I sighed looking over at the black card on the drawer rolling my eyes.

3 hours later

"I love them." I spoke looking at myself in the hand mirror.

I was bummed as hell and I knew my whole demeanor was off.

"You should try short lashes one of these days." Gina urged and I shook my head.

"Hm." I hummed answering short.

"Can I ask you something?" I said to her.

"Sure what that?"

Gathering my words I said before speaking.

"How does it feel to always be alongside your man. Like everywhere he goes you go? Is that normal?" I asked as she looked at me confused and laughed.

"No, I'm not always alongside Pop. I be begging him to let my ass go or he ain't getting none." She said as I instantly knew what she meant.

I couldn't deprive Rah of sex though. He'd probably kill me for real.

"Like it's not what you think, they jobs require a lot of time and I had to live with it being like this. At home 25/8 with a baby. That's just what it is..." she shrugged.

Is that what I wanted though....

"Yea but friend group functions I'm never allowed." I said grabbing up my bag.

"I've noticed and it's crazy cause everyone always ask for you. He just doesn't want his babygirl around allat hard shit." She smirked.

"And you?" I asked

"I'm grown." She said as we laughed.

"Trust me when I tell you a man who doesn't bring his lady around that is a man that cares. Heavily. I just force my way." She shrugged and I nodded.

I guess he did had his reasoning.

"But Pop and I are throwing something in about two weeks. I know Rah ain't missin' it so he'll most likely bring you..." I nodded unsure about that.

That was a heavy maybe.
