Bino paused the game and now had the blunt in his hand. He shook his head as he hit it. “I know you don’t believe that shit.”
“I don’t want to,” I admitted.
“Wait.” Bino frowned and set the controller on the table. “You actually believe her ass?” When I didn’t respond, he continued. “Bro, I wouldneverhit that bitch,” he spat. “I mean I know that’s Solo’s mom, so no disrespect, but hell naw.” He shook his head. “Not only is she not even close to my type, you my fucking best friend, my brother. I could never slime you out like that. Me or Scoot.”
“Word,” Scoot agreed. “Shorty definitely tweaking saying that shit.”
“I know.” I ran a hand down my face. “I’m trippin’. That’s why I try to keep interactions light with her. She be having me ready to kill her.”
“Facts! Shit got me tight,” Bino fumed. “We been rocking too fucking long. That kind of disloyalty will get a nigga killed. Tell Bri don’t even play us like that.”
“I’m just gon’ keep some distance from her mothafuckin’ ass, man.” I sighed. “I’ll have my mama or Bishop grab Solo when we supposed to get him and shit. I can’t be bothered with her ass. I already was a little vexed about her having a nigga staying there for days and shit while I pay her bills.”
Solo had been telling me his mother’s boyfriend was always at their house. I wasn’t asking questions or nothing, he just started talking while I was bathing him. I wanted to ask who the nigga was but knew I couldn’t be pressing my son about his mother’s business. Plus I didn’t really care, but she should have had the decency to tell me she had someone around my son.
“Solo told you who it was?” Scoot asked and I shook my head.
“Naw, and I ain’t ask. I don’t give a fuck for real, long as the nigga don’t fuck with my seed.”
“True. I’m sure that ain’t gon’ happen.”
“Better not or it’ll be a bloodbath over that bitch.”
“No cap,” Bino agreed. “But on a lighter note, Mo and them having a game night.”
“Aw hell,” Scoot groaned and started to cough after taking a pull from the blunt. “Y’all back in love.”
Bino grinned at him. “Know that’s wifey. I just been letting her have her fun while I get the bullshit out my system.”
“Yeah, aight.” He chuckled.
“You want to slide through there or not, mothafucka? You worried about the wrong shit.”
“It’s gon’ be other hoes there?” Scoot asked and I wanted to know my damn self.Specifically her best friend.
I hadn’t been able to get her ass off my mind since the pool party, literally. I kept flashing back to our time in my room and damn! I couldn’t even entertain another woman without thinking about her sexy, chocolate ass the whole time. Them hoes prolly thought I was into their asses the way I delivered dick, but they had no fucking idea.
“Yeah, nigga, it’s a game night.”
“I’m in then,” Scoot agreed.
“What about you, Smoke?” Bino smirked. “KK gon’ be there.”
“Fuck you telling me for?” I frowned, trying to play it off.
“Nigga, please,” he said and chortled along with Scoot. “You been like a sick puppy since sis ghosted yo’ ass.”
Waving him off, I ashed the blunt in my hand then checked my phone as I replied, “Imagine that shit.”
“I ain’t gotta.” He grinned. “I know you been stalking her Cliqued and shit.”How the fuck he know that?“Yeah mothafucka, I needed to check Mo shit out and she been had me blocked for years so I checked from your shit and guess who was the only name in your search bar.”
“Fuck you.” I chuckled. “You nosy as fuck.”
“And you pressed.” He laughed. “So what’s up? You falling through with us or not?”
“I guess.” I shrugged. “I ain’t doing shit else.”
My business and shit was done for the day and I’d already talked to my son. His little ass would be calling me again soon, probably to beg for money and shit, but for the time being I knew his grandparents had him occupied.
