Oh yea, she’s ready. It’s about that time
, he concluded.
Mykell
was sitting on the couch watching ESPN when he heard Reneice coming down the stairs. “You gotta work today?” he asked without turning around.
“No,” she replied as she sat on the couch next to him. He looked at her and started smiling.
She rolled her eyes. “That’s not funny, why would you do that?”
“I told you to get rid of the attitude but you wanted to be hardheaded, plus I had to show you
who’s running this shit since you’ve seem to have forgotten. Don’t act like you ain’t like it. But anyways get up, we got somewhere to go,” He said slapping her on the thigh.
She looked at him skeptically and asked “Where we going?
I don’t feel like going nowhere.”
“Just come on," he said.
They picked up MJ from Pop-Pop’s house then he took them to Ben & Jerry’s to get some ice cream. While they were eating MJ asked Neicey if he could spend the night with her.
“It’s no problem if it’s cool with your dad,”
she told him.
He looked at Mykell with pleading eyes, “Please dad? Can I please?” MJ begged.
Mykell laughed at his son then told him yes.
MJ looked at Neicey for a while before he asked a question that almost made her drop her ice cream. “Neicey are you my new mommy, since you're always with my daddy and we're always at your house?” she looked at Mykell and he was just as shocked as she was.
She didn’t know how to answer him, afraid that she would break his little five year old heart. “Umm no sweetie, nobody will replace your mom. She will always be your mother, but I love you like a son.” She said trying to be sensitive about the situation.
“So can I call you mommy, since you love me like a son? My mom didn’t want me anyways,” he said.
It broke Neicey’s heart to see the look on MJ’s face when he said that. She picked him up and put him on her lap and told him “You can call me mommy if you want to sweetie, and don’t say your mom didn’t want you. She had some issues that she had to deal with, but I’m pretty sure she loved you.”
Mykell just sat back impressed at how Neicey handled the situation. She was the only female he ever let around his son, not even Kya ha
d been that close to him. He loved the fact that she treated his son like her very own even though she was young. That just made him know for sure that they should be a family. There was just some things they needed to work on.
Chapter 6
Mykell, Neicey, Micah, and Lani were at the store getting groceries for the family dinner they were going to have at Pop-Pop’s. The ladies were going to do the cooking while the men sat back and chilled. Mykell and Micah were in the beer aisle getting the drinks while Neicey and Lani were running down every aisle throwing everything in the cart.
“See girl, I told them knucklehead brothers of mine that we don’t need a list.” Lani laughed at the cart full of food and spices they had.
Reneice was about to respond but she stopped when she heard a voice come from behind her.
“Hey Lani,” Kya said walking up with a girl that looked just as ratchet as her. “When did you start hanging out with toddlers?” she laughed.
“Bitch I told you already, this ain’t what you want.” Reneice said getting in Kya’s face. Lani ran and went to get her brothers because she already knew how this was going to turn out.
Kya was scared as hell. She heard about how she beat Rhonda’s ass in the club, but she refused to back down to this young bitch.
“It looks like that’s not what yo so called man wants either since he always in my bed and begging for me to give it up.” She smiled knowing she hit a nerve.
Reneice
laughed, “Silly bitch, the only reason why he comes to you is because I’m not giving it up and he knows who would be dumb enough to give it up easily.”
“Bitch
please; I’ve had him for seven years so I know what he likes and how he likes it.” Kya said loudly.
“Then why does he leave you to come home to my lil young ass?”
Reneice thought the conversation was comical.
“Because you’re young, dumb, and full of cum. He’s just using you to make me jealous. Your mama should have taught you better,” Kya said with a smirk.
At the mention of her mother, Neicey snapped. She took a can off the shelf and punched Kya in the face with it.
Mykell, Lani, and Micah hit the aisle just in time to see Reneice hit Kya in the face. The girl with Kya tried to jump in, but Lani
deaded that real fast. She hit the girl with a two piece while Neicey was still hitting Kya in the face with the can. The men were stuck for a minute then they came to their senses and broke the fight up. Kya’s face was bloody and her nose looked like it was broken. Her friend had a deep cut under her eye from Lani’s ring when she punched her.
Neicey was still fuming and Mykell was struggling to hold her back. It’s like she transformed into another person when she got mad.
“See bitch, I told you this ain’t what you want, but you thought you was bad. Now how does it feel to get yo ass whooped by my young ass?” Neicey laughed a laughed that they had never heard before. “That nose looks broken, you might want to get that checked out, stupid hoe.”
Kya’s
friend was helping her off the ground, “It’s cool bitch, yo nigga over there gon pay for it. Then I’ma fuck him real proper like.” She laughed.
Mad about being bust out, Mykell spoke up “Kya shut the fuck up, yo! You ain’t learned yo lesson yet?”
“Fuck ever Mykell, when that young bitch done spending all yo money don’t say nothing. You know where home is!” She yelled to his back as he walked away with Neicey.
Micah and Lani finished grocery shopping while Mykell was outside in the truck attempting to calm Neicey down. Everything between them was going good, but Kya just had to fuck it up because she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
“Man fuck her, she on some bullshit just because she jealous,” Mykell said.
“I’m really not tryna hear shit you talking about right now. I already figured you
was with some other bitch when you wasn’t coming home, until you snatched my ass up at the club. But I sho’ wasn’t expecting it to be her since you lied and said you quit messing with her. That’s cool, since you wanna do you; trust and believe I’ma do me,” she said setting him straight.
“Neicey don’t get
fucked up, that bitch just tryna come between us and you letting her,” he explained.
“So look me in my eyes and tell me you
wasn’t with her when you pulled that little disappearing act? Look me in my face and say you were not with her,” she dared him.
When he didn’t look at her she knew then that he was. She just nodded her head, “See I knew it, but you want to get mad at me because I’m in the club having fun and dancing with a nigga? You know what
, I’m not even tripping.”
“If you weren’t so damn stingy with the pussy I wouldn’t have to go to her or any other bitch for that matter.
You not the only person on the planet with a pussy!” He yelled but wished he could take it back the moment it came out his mouth.
His words hurt Neicey badly, but she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of knowing that. “Then why the fuck you tryna keep me around then? Since I’m not giving up the pussy there’s no need
for you to be acting like you want me then, right? I’m not gon’ keep no nigga that don’t want to be kept. If the pussy is all you want then you can step!” she yelled holding back tears, refusing to let him see her hurt.
“Dammit Reneice! I fucking love you that’s why okay! That’s why I keep you
around; I don’t want no other nigga with the woman I love!” He yelled shocked that he just told her that he loved her, but he meant it.
Neicey was shocked at his revelation that he loved her. She knew he was serious because he called her Reneice instead of Neicey. But she was still hurt at his previous words.
“You love me but you keep fucking Kya? So do you love her too? Since you won’t leave her alone and she made it pretty clear that you’re not going anywhere.” She just had to know.
He had a weird look on his face like he was disgusted. “Man
fuck naw I don’t love her. She just a convenience to me because she’s ready to give it up to me whenever I want it. She just some pussy, I don’t love her. I love yo lil young ass,” he said sincerely.
And at that moment she looked into his eyes and she believed him. “I love you too,” she said while leaning over and kissing him.
The kiss was interrupted by Micah opening the door, “I’m happy that you guys kissed and made up but can y’all help with these damn bags?” He said jokingly.
“
Hatin’ ass nigga,” Mykell laughed
“Whatever. Just help, nigga” he said.
While the ladies were in the kitchen cooking, MJ was playing the game, and the men were replaying the scene at the grocery store to their father. “I’m telling you pops, it looked like something out of a movie. Baby girl is a straight rider, and one for the right team,” Mykell told him.
“Yea pops, her ass damn near killed Kya, I was feeling sorry for her for a minute. But like she said, Mykell will pay for the damages.” Micah smirked at this brother.
“Shut up Mack, you talk too much.”
“
Well is he lying?” Noah asked.
Mykell looked at his father shocked that he asked him that. “I don’t know. I do feel kind of bad, but at the same time she shouldn’t have been running her mouth. But I’ll handle it,” he answered.
“But you're handling it is why this even happened.” Noah said
“How you figure pops?” Mykell asked confused.
“Your baby girl over here, willing to do anything for you and all she wants in return is your love, but you keep sticking your dick in Kya because you say that Neicey won’t have sex with you. Did you ever stop to think why? And even if she did would you stop fucking Kya? You’re stringing both of them along and keep playing with their emotions. You need to figure out which one you really want and leave the other alone," Noah stated.
“
Ol wise ass” Micah said to his father.
This is why they loved their father. He was so wise for his age and would break stuff down to them so they could see it in a way they never would have. He made you sit and really think about the situation.
Mykell thought about everything his dad just told him and realized his father was right. So he made his decision right then and there, it was a no brainer of who he wanted to be with. He loved Neicey. She was smart, independent and wanted to do something with his life. She would always have a shower, a blunt and a plate of food waiting on him when he got home. She never complained and whenever he tried to give her money she would decline and say she had her own money. When she went shopping she would always come back with something for him.
Kya was the complete opposite. She was 25 years old and going nowhere fast. She would sit up and wait for Mykell to give her some money so she could spend it. She didn’t have a job and dropped out of school in the 10th grade. She was a
hoodrat and he had to wonder why he even started fucking with her in the first place.
It was very evident who he wanted to be his
wifey then eventually become his wife.
“I made my choice already, that’s why you see her in yo kitchen right now,” said Mykell. “I love her young ass.” He said sure of himself.
“Damn for real?” asked a shocked Micah. He never heard his brother talk about ever loving somebody.
“’Yea I’m sure,” he said smiling at Reneice as she walked into the room.
*****
It had been four months since Reneice got into that fight with Kya, and everything was going great. Her job was still going good and she was now on break from school because of the holidays. She and Mykell were doing excellent. He moved her into his house with him and MJ and they were one big happy family. He even stopped messing with Kya, which was one big improvement. Reneice still wasn’t giving up her virginity and he was fine with that.
It was Christmas Eve and Neicey was in the kitchen baking cookies with MJ. She went into the living room to find Mykell whispering on his cell phone. She cleared her throat to get his attention and he told the caller that he would call them back and hung the phone up without waiting for a response.
“MJ said he wants his daddy to help
him and his mommy bake cookies,” Neicey said.
“Alright, let’s go then,” he said hoping that she wouldn’t say anything about the phone call.
“Mhmm,” she said walking into the kitchen right behind him.
He kissed her on her soft lips then said “Don’t be like that
bae, you know I love you.”
“Whatever, just get to baking them cookies.” She laughed.
Later that night Mykell and Reneice were lying in bed watching This Christmas when Neicey started kissing Mykell’s neck. She reached into his pajamas pants and started stroking his dick. He was shocked so he stopped her. “What you doing bae?”
“I want you to make love to me,
” she said in a low tone. “No, I need you to make love to me.”
