He cracked up laughing. That was all this nigga had been doing since I walked in there, laughing like I was cracking jokes,when, in actuality, I was in my fucking feelings and wanted to murder the very fucking woman who put me there.
“You better go get your girl, man. You’ll look up, and she’s carrying that nigga’s seed because he said the right thing an—” Before he could finish his sentence, I was out of the front door. I hopped in my car, neglecting to put my seat belt on and pulled out of his driveway. I knew exactly where she was because Beck, one of my security guards, was actually good at his job. I pulled up about twenty minutes later and double-parked. I didn’t give a shit, because I wouldn’t be there for long. I walked into the restaurant and looked around before I spotted her fine, stupid ass. She was walking toward the washroom, but she left Kale at the table with old boy. How could she look good when all I wanted to do was take her head off her shoulders? I approached the table just as Kale squealed my name.
“Mr. Savior.” She smiled and hopped down, running to hug my legs.
“Wassup, baby girl? You have a good time?” I asked.
She nodded her head and looked up at me, then back at old boy. He looked confused, but I was about to clear some shit up for him and Regancy. “Can you do me a favor and go to the car with my friend?” I nodded toward Beck who was now standing at my side.
She nodded her head and happily went with Beck.
“Um, who are y?—”
“Savior, what are you doing here?” Regancy was standing behind me. “Where is my daughter?” She was looking around.
“She’s with Beck, waiting on us, but we have some shit we need to discuss right quick.”
I didn’t miss the annoyance on Regancy’s face as she put her hand to her hip and looked at me, then ole boy, who was sitting there looking confused. “You didn’t know who this man was, yet you allowed my child to go with someone who was with him?”Then she looked at me. “Then you… how dare you intrude on my life when you have one of your own? What type of shit is this?” She was pissed.
“Cool the fuck out and hear me when I say this shit.”
She looked at me pissed off, but she didn’t give me any more lip.
I looked from her to ole boy before I began to speak. “You willing to die over mine?”
“Savior, are you?—”
“Let the man speak, baby.” I cut my eyes from him to her.
He looked from me to her.
“Don’t look at her. Keep ya eyes on me. Lemme ask you again. Are you willing to die over mine? Because if so, we can get that handled right now.”
Ole boy didn’t respond. He just looked at me like he was mute or some shit.
“Baby, you dating a deaf nigga?” I looked down at her.
Before she could respond, he finally spoke. “I wasn’t aware that a woman was property, let alonethatwoman.” He nudged his head in Regancy’s direction. “A woman should be given the opportunity to choose what and or who she wants because ul?—”
“Fuck all of that. This ain’t no fucking game of it. This right here is mine, and she knows it, and now you do too. So if you knowing and keep fucking around with her, then you’re endangering yourself, my man.” Then I put all my attention on her. “Regancy, I’ma give you about two minutes to tell yo’ friend bye. I’ll be in the car.” I didn’t have shit else to say, because I already felt like I’d said too much.
By the time she brought her ass to the car, I was good and pissed off. Just because I gave her boneheaded ass two minutes didn’t mean she had to take all one hundred twenty fucking seconds of it.
Once Regancy settled into the car, I instructed Beck to pull off before I focused all of my attention on Kale. “What do you wanna eat for dinner, Baby K?”
“Um… cheeseburgers.” She smiled and looked up at me.
I nodded. “You heard that Beck and get Reg a chicken Caesar salad with no chicken and extra sunflower seeds on the side. We’re going to the boat for the night.”
“What boat?” Kale asked.
“My boat. You know how to swim?” I asked her. I was only talking to lil’ mama since her mama had an attitude.
“Yes. Mommy made me take lessons.” She smiled, excited. “You hear that, Mama?”
“Yeah. I hear it, baby.” She forced a smile for Kale but mugged me on the side.
Once we reached the pier, the boat was docked right where it normally was when I wanted to take it out for a night. I had already planned to take it out so I could sit under the stars and clear my mind like always, but her boneheaded ass had to test me. So, I had to teach her how to deal with me because I wasn’t the nigga to play with. Though everything from that point on was unchartered waters, I guess I somewhat knew what I was doing.
