Chapter 14

Rahmik Ford

"Gimme a size 2." I told the clerk in sports locker as Tae sat there kicking his feet.

"Ok I'll be right back." She smiled and I nodded.

"Ohh Rah look at these." He said running over picking up some ugly ass sketchers with hulk and some other characters on em.

"These ain't it bro." I shook my head laughing.

"You're crazy Rah these are cool." He said looking at them. I shook my head at him.

"Here you go." She said coming back with the pair of forces and retro 1s.

"Is that all you'll be having?" She asked as I looked over to him still holding up them ugly shit.

"And an two in them." I mumbled sighing deeply as he smiled silly.

"Ok I'll meet you guys at the register." She said walking off

"You happy?" I asked as he nodded his head.

"Yup. Soon I'm be just like you with the big watch and the big chain." He went on makin' me laugh.

"When you work you can have all you want lil man." I said getting up as we walked towards the register.

"Air Force 1s, Retro 1s and animated sketchers?" She asked and I nodded as she typed in what she had to.

"Your total is $204 sir." She said as I yawned handing her my card.

The other lady began packing it inna bag as I signed a slip and she handed me back my card.

"Enjoy your day." She smirked.

"You too."

"Here." I said handing Tae his bags.

"I have to hold them?" He asked amused as I laughed.

"Whatchu mean these yours." I said and he grinned.

"Thank you Rah. You're really nice to me so I guess it's Nia's fault when you're mean." He spoke.

I looked down and him not knowing what to say. It's crazy knowing he be listening when you'd think he just be zoned out in the tv.

"Nah. I'm nice cause you my lil dawg and I'm only mean to Nia when we don't agree on some stuff. It be both our fault." I tried explaining it to him the best way I could.

"Ok." He nodded and I laughed to myself knowing he didn't know what much of that meant.

Yesterday I had so much on my mind. From business to me just taking everything personal. I had gotten the call from the realtor bout the house and everything was official. I ain't told Nia nothin' yet but I had to pick her up in a few so I figured we'd talk then.

I also had to pick up my new whip inna next few day which meant me having less time on anything I had planned. It wasn't really for me but just so she could be able to move round when she wanted to cause I know between her having to stay home all day or Erin having to be her ride when I wasn't there wasn't up to her liking.

I knew she wouldn't accept it like that so this was the next best thing.

"Whatchu feel like eating?" I asked Tae considering that he only had breakfast.

"Can we get oxtails?"

"Whatchu know bout that?" I asked looking at him in my rear view.

"I like when Nia cooked them for nana and me." He said looking out the window.

"Aight."

Ping!

Message from Princess🖤

I opened Nia's message seeing that she was ready.

I stopped to the shop first before picking up Nia from work.

"Nia look at the shoes Rah got me." He said fumbling through the bag.

"I'm sure they're nice I'll see em when we get home ok?" She reassured

"Ok."

"You ready to cook?" I asked pulling out the lot.

"Noooo. I'm tired y'all better order something." She whined.

"But Nia that's what I want." Tae pouted putting his head in the middle of our seats.

"Tae sit back and put your seatbelt on." She spoke seriously.

"Look like ain't no oxtails for us tonight bro." I laughed as he sat with an attitude on his face the whole ride home.

"I'll order pizza or something?" Nia said in a more questionable as soon as we got inside.

"It's whatever." I shrugged.

I watched as Tae took his bags and stomped straight to his room and I knew exactly what he was feeling right now.

"I spoke to the realtor." I said to her as she tapped away on her phone and I slipped off my shoes.

"Yea, what'd they say?" She asked finally looking up.

"Things are official. I guess we could move in at the end of the month." I said and she nodded.

"Okay." I said hearing her sigh throwing her phone down on the couch.

"You good?" I asked her with my brow raised.

"Yea. I'm ok." I could tell something was bothering her

"C'mere." She made her way over to me and instantly leaned onto me resting her head on my chest.

"I love you." I said looking down at her as she looked back up at me.

"I love you too." She mumbled against me.

The Next Day

Pop was havin' a lil kick back today. I had asked my mom to watch Tae since I had planned on taking Nia with me.

"You sure, I don't wanna interfere with her free time, her babies are grown." Nia stressed putting on her panties.

"Babe chill out. She cool with it and Dre gone be there so Tae would probably work his ass." I huffed latching my watch around my wrist as she stood up from the bed ottoman and walked to the bedside getting her dress. I looked at the thong she was wearing and slid on her white fitted dress that hugged her nicely.

It had some criss cross look in the back as I watched her a bit closely. She turned around now facing me and I got a better look at what she was wearing causing me to chuckle even that shit wasn't funny.

"Bro, change that shit." I said shaking my head seeing the front.

"Babe wh-"

"No, we goin' to a kick back Nia. Why you bein' sexy for. No, I ain't for it." I said in a serious tone.

Rolling her eyes I watch her start to take it off. I didn't care what attitude she had. I wasn't for that. She wasn't bout to be round them bitch ass niggas like that and I really wasn't tryna fuck someone up today.

I slid my Nike track pants on as she angrily walked over to the closet to find something else.

I put on some socks and then put on my blacks tn's

I looked over and she walked out the closet in a turtle neck sweater dress with a keyhole inna middle. I saw as she finished her look with some nude Gucci sandals.

I scoffed grabbing my white t.

"Still not satisfied?" She asked with an attitude.

"Nah gather all them shit up, lemme burn em." I laughed.

"Trust when I say it wouldn't bother me. It's your money anyway." She mumbled sounding annoyed and I shook my head at her bullshit.

Always on some fuck shit.

"Let's go." I said grabbing up my keys as she got her sling purse.

She walked out the room before me leaving me to cut all the lights.

SeniaMarie Milano

After we dropped Tae off at Rahs mom we made our way over to Pop and Gina's.

I pulled down the mirror making sure my makeup had no flaws. I reached into my bag and grabbed my lipgloss putting a little more on as Rah watched me intensely. I saw him shake his head a bit and I mentally rolled my eyes going back into my bag switching my lipgloss for my 'a thousand wishes' body oil.

"You be doing too much. You know that right." He spoke lowly as we approached their house.

"Whatever Rahmik." He found parking cause the yard was already booked. I was surprised gatherings in the burbs were allowed like this considering that this neighborhood was predominantly white.

I got out straightening my dress and closed my door, I watched as Rah reached into the glove compartment and got out closing his door and hitting the alarm.

I watched him placed the ready rolled blunt behind his gear as we both headed towards the door. He immediately grabbed my hand as we got closer.

"We gone be here for a minute. People gone be here who I know and who I don't, please don't go nowhere where I can't see you."

He said lowly as he decided to go round the back gate.

Opening up the gate it was as if the whole hood was out here. Niggas lined off against the wall smoking and drinking tables set out as some folk played dominoes and another set played cards. I could feel the stares.

"Yo wassup." I watched as niggas greeted Rah and dapped him up.

"I'm good, wassup witchu'?" Rah ask back.

"Man shit been the same, just straight paper."

"So I guess this mini you right here." He said eyeing me.

"Yea that's all me." Rah said boastfully to him nodding.

"Ight Imma holla at chu' later." He said to Rah and he nodded.

He continued holding my hand not droopy it once leading the way to the sliding back doors .

"Yo!" My head snapped towards the area where I had saw all of Pop and Tez.

Rah walked us over as he let my hand go sapping all em up.

"Baby Nia, man I ain't seen you in forever." Tez said pulling me into a hug.

"This nigga be keeping you like the treasure you are." Another guy said who I didn't know. I watched as Rah mugged the hell outta this nigga, I mean like the meanest.

"Fuck is this?" Rah asked not taking his eyes off the man.

"Man chill. Youne remember me?" He asked walking up to Rah as Rah shook his head.

"Nah, I don't." Tension was thick and everyone where we were was stiff.

"Niaaa" I saw as Gina came with arms open thankfully clearing up the area.

"Hey." I smiled hugging her back.

"I'm too happy you came."

"Listen barely..." I said referring to the little incident with Rah earlier.

"Take her inside." Rah said to her as I looked at him in confusion.

This was a kick back and I wasn't taking my ass to be cooped up in no damn house. If that were the case I would've stayed home.

"Rah can I have a word with you?" I asked him be fore he looked back at his boys then to me and gave a nod.

"Why inside. I can handle myself." I told him looking up at him.

"I know but I think imma really fuck someone up out here for real." He said looking around.

"Babe these niggas don't matter. The only thing they're doing is talking they're shit a-"

"Just go on in to avoid shit..." He sighed.

"Candace baby.." all left my head as I saw Candace come through the back and walked over to a group of people as they hugged her. She was there in a halter dress that hugged her slim curvy figure nicely as she wore her hair straight down her back.

"Ain't it the baddest redbone..." someone said gassing her.

"You really got me fucked up if you think I'm goin' inside Rahmik." I said rolling my eyes at him and walking over to where Gina was by the cabana with another girl.

"He still tryna lock you down at a party." Gina laughed as I went over sitting down letting out a small laugh.

"I swear he's playful like that." I said as he was back to the boys conversing.

I looked over at Candace who was chatting up a storm as she flipped her hair over her shoulders and rolled my eyes hard.

"Am I missing something?" She asked as I shook my head.

"Nah it's nothing." It's like no matter what Rah had always instilled in me to never discuss our business outside of us and I lived by that.

"Melissa this is Senia, Rah's girlfriend." She said introducing me to the other girl.

"Nia this is Melissa, Lokes girlfriend." She was more on the petite side and hella gorgeous.

"Hi." I waved smiling small as she waved back.

"Hey."

"Girl that man is not letting you live." She said as I looked behind me and I caught Rah taking a glance at me.

"He been looking over here ever five seconds." They laughed.

"Y'all want something to eat?" She questioned and I nodded.

"Yes please." The grill smelled nice and honestly the whole set up was nice. I looked back at the spot where Candace was and she was gone looking back behind me there she stood over at Rah and them as they were still talking only thing was he now had a solo cup in his hand drinking whatever.

I was bout to see how this shit was really gonna play out...
