“Yeah, I’m fine. He has to leave, but it’s okay.” I assured her.

She nodded.

“Hey, Nic. I tried telling Buck he didn’t have to go with me, but that was a losing battle. I didn’t want to ruin your day.” Kasha walked up and explained, but there wasn’t any need. She did nothing wrong.

“It’s fine, Kash. I understand, and I thank you for what you did today. I loved everything.” She smiled and hugged me before walking off.

Buck left with Stacks and Kasha shortly after and so did I, when the crowd died down. As he stated, James was waiting for me at the gates and followed me back home. I was in love with this truck. It had every feature that you could think of. I appreciated Buck a little more for giving me such a thoughtful gift.

Once I made it home, I went straight to the bathroom so I could shower and rest my feet. I brought food home, so I would eat some of that and wait until Buck got back home. Hopefully, whatever he had to do didn’t cause him not to make it back to us. I know he’s into a lot of shit, but from the sound of his voice, this could get messy.

Chapter Seventeen

Buck

IfeltfuckedupleavingGoldie at our gender reveal but I needed to handle this nigga. I was grateful that she understood and didn’t give me any shit about it. It’s been a minute since I cared about a woman’s feelings outside of my mama and the shit felt foreign, but it wasn’t that bad. After I made sure Goldie was good, I left with Stacks and Kasha in tow. Stone would take her son and mama back home and stayed with them until Stacks got back. Once we had all that situated, I kissed my girl and left. Stacks rode with me while Kasha drove her truck. We couldn’t risk that nigga seeing us with her and not show up.

“I can’t wait to get my hands on this nigga.” I glanced over at Stacks, and he had a scowl look on his face. “He’s been texting Kasha and threatening her because she wouldn’t give him the money.” This was new information to me. How the fuck this nigga gone get mad because she wouldn’t help him repay a debt that he accumulated.

“That nigga dumb as fuck. I’m just glad Kash ain’t dumb enough to follow that nigga up. I like her and all, but I wouldn’t hesitate to chop her ass up if she was siding with that nigga.” Stacks looked at me when I said that and I didn’t give a fuck about the look he was giving me. I meant exactly what I said. “Nigga, don’t look at me like that. That ain’t gone change shit if her ass was on some fuck shit with that nigga, and you know it.”

“Would you be saying that shit if it was Goldie?”

“You damn right. I’d lock her ass up until she was ready to give birth. I’d have a doctor come cut my baby out of her and let her ass bleed to death. So, yeah. She’d be up against the same fate if she was into some fuck shit with a nigga I had beef with.”

I guess he understood what I said because he didn’t say shit else. The rest of the ride was quiet until my dash lit up and it was Goldie.

“Wassup, baby?” I answered for her on the first ring.

“I was just calling to let you know I was home and settled. I’m about to eat some of this food and chill out until you get back,” she responded. I couldn’t help the smile that was on my face as I listened to her voice flow through the speakers.

“Aight, but you’on need to wait up because I’on know how long this shit gone take.”

“I’m not sleepy,” she countered.

“Aight, man. I gotta go, but take it easy and let my boy rest.” I smirked at the thought of having a son.

“Oh, Lord. I feel like you’re about to wear this son shit in the ground.” I could hear the smile in her voice.

“Sounds like you’re hating. Don’t worry. The next one can be a girl. That way, you won’t be left out.”

“Next one? You know what? Bye. I’ll see you later.”

“Aight.”

We hung up the phone and Stacks was looking in my face with a dumb ass grin on his face.

“The fuck you grinning for?” I quizzed.

“When you gone tell that girl you love her?”

I pinned him with a nasty glare because he’d lost his damn mind. I’m not saying I wasn’t feeling her ass because I was. I always was.

“Fuck you talking ’bout love? Who said I loved her?”

Laughing, he responded. “Nigga, you’on have to say it. The shit is all over your face. That shit starts glowing like a glowworm. It’s okay to love her. She’s having your kid and ain’t y’all in a relationship now?”
