Rome-Messiah Jacione Harlem

"My man my man my man." K'yonii said and I looked over at her. She was using her stomach as a table to eat the food I just bought her fat ass.

Cried for like 30 minutes. Don't make no sense. I thought to myself shaking my head. "Don't shake yo head at me ho."

"Ho? Girl bye...bye"

"You spoiled." I mumbled "Its yo fault." she shrugged "Its yo daddy fault nigga"

"You right." she nodded

"This kid finna piss me off like eat this fuckin' food nigga. Finna hit my stomach back on my mama." she said

"You're funny"

"I'm dead ass and it's always this nigga kickin' me. I know he be punchin' me too. Weak ass nigga." she said making me laugh

"Bruh you're funny as fuck." I chuckled "Answer this" she said handing me her phone someone was facetiming her but she didn't save their number

I answered it and it was some guy. K'yonii I'll whoop yo ass. "Mmchtt she always changin' her fuckin' number bald as-"

"Bitch the only thing bald is yo fat ass discombobulated built ugly fat back ass mama." K'yonii said taking the phone from me.

Oop.

"Ky lets not talk about mothers because you're mother doesn't really exist anymore. Miss walking dead." he said back

"When you get out?" she asked him "Like 10 minutes ago. I need you to come get me." he mumbled

"No." she said and hung up "Who was that?" I asked "My lil cousin. He bad as shit bro."

Her phone rang again and she let it ring. I picked it up and answered "Where you at lil bro we gone come get you." I said

"I'm at the Juvenile detention facility her stupid ass know whea' I'm at."

"Shut up dickhead. Thats why you stayin'. Call ya bitch ass muva." she told him "Fuck you come get me pussy."

"I ain't gettin' shit." she mumbled getting up "He lucky I love him." she said grabbing her keys. "Come with me."

"Kayvonce get your stupid ass in the car." she said and he shot up and flipped off the security guard and made his way to the car.

"Whats up cousin?" he hopped in the backseat "Whats up young man." he said to me and I chucked my head up

"How is your phone still on?"

"My mama pay my phone bill stil- I'm sorry whose carseat is this and who is this young man driving you around?" he cut himself off

"He is my boyfriend and the carseat is my daughters." she said "Lol April fools." he said

"It's September but okay." she mumbled "You really her boyfriend? Like...you have interest in her?" he asled me "Yea."

"I'ma tell you run while you can."

"It's too late I'm stuck with her for life now." I said "Why? That's your daughter too?"

"What you think I'm some kind of slut?" she asked him "Duh that's his daughter too."

"How old is she?"

"5"

"Wait nigga what?" he said confused "How old are you? 18?"

"When you was 13 you was i-" "We adopted her dumb bitch."

"Oh. Makes sense."

"Wait what was you doin' at 13?" I asked her

"Nigga she was in a mental facility she wasn't doin' shit. Lame ass." he said "Mmchtt shut the fuck up." she muttered

"Anyways. How'd y'all meet?"

"School."

"Cute. Can you drop m-" "No you're coming to my house." she cut him off. "Yea cause you're not driving." he mumbled

"Sir can you take me t-" "I just said no. I don't give a fuck who's driving you're coming to my house like I fucking said." she said

"Let me out this car or I'm gone strangle your boyfriend."

"I'll beat the shit out you." I said "Kay don't try no stupid shit in this car cause if he crash and something happen to my babies I'm going to kill you."

"What babies? You seein' shit my nigga?"

"I'm pregnant dumb ass."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I'll just run away from your house." he mumbled "You just got out after 2 years! You need to sit the fuck do- actually I don't care. Fuck it. Pull over so he can get out and go back to jail."

"No-" "Pull this fucking car over and let him the fuck out before he pisses me the fuck off."

"Calm down." I said putting my hand on her stomach and she instantly started to calm down and put her hand on top of mine.

"I'm sorry Ni." he said lowly. "Don't be sorry ho be careful." she joked but she was serious.

The ride back to the house was quiet. There would be like little conversations here and there but other than that it was quiet.

"Aye you smoke bruh?" Kayvonce asked me "Yea."

"You got some on you?"

"It's like half a dutch on that ashtray" I mumbled "You're not much of a talker huh?" he asked "Yea. So please stop talking to me." I said

"Why the fuck y'all want me here if I'ma be in a house of silence?" he asked "Go to the last house on the right you might find people up to your standards." I said

He hopped up quick as hell and went to open the door but the mufuckas I sent him to came over here. "Shit there they go."

"Whats up lil nigga?" Pookie dapped him up as he walked in the house and everyone followed behind him like everyone.

"When do school start for y'all?" I asked Marlon cause why are they still out her like go home.

"The 21st. We leavin' like next week though" he said

"Where ya daughter?" Kay asked Pookie "Nigga what? Who is this nigga?" Pookie furrowed his eyebrows

"Yo cousin nigga." I chuckled

"Oh I'm not KJ."

"If you not Kj who the fuck is you?"

"Pookie nigga ask about me."

"I ain't givin' out no nani to no nigga just for fun are dumb?" Ni walked in the house with Milani and Yonaa behind her

"Yes you do"

"Shut up." she mumbled

"Yo who is this?" Kay pointed at Pookie.

"Kay Kayyyy!" Yonaa smiled running over to him "You got so bigggg."

"Thats Pookie. Our brother. Your cousin." K'yonii answered his question "So he's not Kj?" Kay asks

"No."

"Oh." he said still a little confused

"Milani. Look." Ni said with her hand cupped like something was in it.

"What?"

"You see the flee in my hand?" she asked her and Milani looked at her then me then the 'flee' in her hand.

"No."

"Its right there you don't see it?" she asked her "Mama I don't see no flee." Milani mumbled

"Well its right there and she said she wanna show you that she could do three backflips."

"Okay?"

"Ready?"

"Mhm."

"Okay one" Ni looked from her hand to the ceiling and Milani side eyed her and she held her laugh "Milani you have to look at the flee."

"Mommy I don't see a flee." Milani sighed "She's right there." Ni pointed "Okay"

"She's gonna restart on the backflips okay. Hold her jacket." she said acting as if she was giving Milani something to hold

"Okay ready."

"Yup."

"Okay one...two...three. Hold her heels cause she fell."

"Mo- mmk." she sighed

"She said is you ready?"

"Tell her do her shit. Come on." Milani mumbled making me laugh "Okay." Ni said and coughed to hide her laugh "One...two...three."

"You really think its a flee in my hand?" Ni asked "No. I don't."

"Then why are you holding her shoes and jacket?" she asked and Milani smacked her lips "That shit was lame as hell."

"She's funny as fuck bruh worda mommy." Kay said damn near dying laughing along with Yonaa

"How was school?" I asked her "Mom called my teacher bitch." Lani said and I looked at K'yonii with wide eyes

"In my defense..." she put her finger up "It was a substitute." she finished "Why?"

"Because she was like 'I think you should show her a little more attention at home I know it must be hard not having a father figure but' I didn't let her finish and I said 'Bitch you don't know what is going on at my house, mind yo motherfuckin' business before I have her dad come up here and slap the fuck out of you and show you he's present.' And what you say Milani?"

"Period." Milani swiped under her neck and Ni nodded "Period." Yonaa said

"You should've told me to slap her I woulda been up there like that ." I mumbled

"Tell me uh, what you thinkin' abo-" "Milani shut up. K'yonii I'm finna smack the shit out of you." I cut Milani off and K'yonii bussed out laughing

"That's not funny at the fuck all don't have my daughter singing that shit." I said

"Sing that shit Mi" she said and I cut my eyes at her. "If you sing it I'ma beat yo mama ass. Is that what you want? For me to beat her ass?" I asked Milani

"No" she shook her head quickly. "And let me just tell you something. The next you father threatens me I'm going beat your ass." Ni said to her

"No you're not."

"I promise you that."

"Can y'all stop stressing my niece out my lord. Got her all confused and shit." Pookie mumbled picking up Milani then walked away.

"I'm ready to pop." Ni said as Yonaa rubbed her stomach. "We look cute pregnant." Yonaa said and Ni scrunched her face up

"You pregnant?"

"No we just look a like. And I think we look really good right now." she says nodding "Oh."

"Have y'all thought about names?" she asked "We've thought of some but we haven't settled for any"

"How about Milan for one?" she suggested "You wanna name my kids?" I asked her "Yea."

"Can she name our kids?" I asked Ni "I don't care."

"Yay. Okay. Milan. Ilias like Elias but with and I, and Mikeiloh. Boom. 3 names. 3 boys. I'm that girl" she swiped under her neck.

"Aw. Those are actually cute." Ni said

I got down on one knee and grabbed her hand "K'yonii Ma-" "No. Get up."

"Bitc- bet" I nodded "Bitch is crazy." Yonaa said "I ain't even say the whole thing." I mumbled

"You know we been together for a year?" Ni asked me "Yea. I don't know how I dealt with yo ass." I mumbled and she mushed my head

"We don't go together no more." she mumbled "Girl I'll beat the shit out of you. We go together real bad."

"I feel like you really be putting yo hands on my sister. You wanna fight?"

"Nah she be puttin' her hands on me. I'ma run her ass over. Pregnant and all."

"Ni ca-" "I don't care. You gone try to argue with me anyways do what you want." she cut Kayvonce off

"He told me to ask if we can play yo game. You ain't gotta be like that bruh I know I be fuckin' up sometimes." he said

"Yea stop being an asshole fat ass blank." Phat said to her "Bitch watch yo mouth before I sock you in it." I said

"Tell yo babymama stop actin' like an asshole then. Dumb ass blanks." he said "Don't my mama an asshole and don't call my daddy dumb" Milani said

"You a dumb ass blank with asshole parents." he said to her and she punched him right in his shit "I'ma have my lil sister beat yo ass."

"Anyways."

We gotta stop cursing in front of her for real.

"Y'all should go somewhere, giving me a head ache. Take Milani with y'all." Ni said "You just gone let these strangers take me?"

"No your dads going too. I need to rest quietly. So leave."

•••••••••••••••••

"Can I have these shoes?" Milani asks "No you already have those shoes." I said "Yea but I don't have this color." she says

"Oh."

"Oh what? Can I get em?" she asked and I nodded and she put it on top of one of the shoe boxes

"Okay I'm done."

"Go tell them you want those in a size 12." I said to her and she grabbed her shoe and left I tapped on my airpod to answer the call I was in.

"Why mi cyant see yuh face Jacie?" I heard and I furrowed my eyebrows taking phone out of my pocket.

"Oh hi grandma." I smiled putting the shoe I was looking at down.

"Weh yuh paan love?" she asked "I'm buying my girlfriend and daughter some shoes." I said

"Yuh carry swine? When? Arlene why yuh neva tell me?"

"Girl I got 4 kids." I mumbled

"Cause yuh neva ask 'bout your grandchild." my mom said "Mother." I said and she looked at the phone

"What?" she mugged "Are you in Belize?"

"No she flew out here to see you. Cause she don't give a fuck about me for real."

"Arlene yuh watch yuh dutty mouts ah fi mi kunk yuh in it."

"Yea hit her cause she be hittin' me." I instigated "You lyin'. I don't even be with you like that. Now when I see you I'ma smack the shit out you."

Then my grandma smacked her. "Ma I'm grown you cyant put your hands paan me."

"Meh do weh I waan."

"I'm finna come see you when I get out the mall." I said "Okay meh love yuh Jacie." she says "I love you too." I said back and then hung up

"Daddy" Milani called out and I looked down at her "Hmm?"

"When we leave ca' we get cinnabon?" she asked and I nodded "You a borin' dad. You supposed to say anything for my princess." she said

"Yea but you not a princess you the peasant." I mumbled and she gasped "Bitch."

"Can I have a phone?" she asked "No."

"What if I get kidnapped?"

"They gone bring you back cause you talk too much." I said and she frowned then walk away.

"My nigga do you want to get kidnapped?" I squinted?

I paid for the shoes and we left. Milani wasn't talking to me the whole time. I bought her cinnabon and she only talk to the worker.

Funny looking ass.

But now we were at my mom and dad house. And she was still ignoring me. It was never that deep but I don't give a fuck.

"Jacione!" my mom yelled. She gone have to wait tryna make me a plate.

"Jacione! Bring yuhself now!" she yelled and I woosahed before putting my plate down.

I walked into the living room where she was "Yes ma'am?"

"Why you wah tell she, she talk too much?" she asked "All you and yo mama do is snitch. Y'all gone wake up dead one day watch."

"We gone be dead how we gone wake up goofy?"

"Cause y'all gone wake up dead to me." I said and she bucked at me

"This ah yuh daughta?" my grandma asked "Where fi she ma?"

"She's sleeping."

"She musa look like her she nuh have your features." she mumbled "She's adopted so she doesn't look like either one of us." I mumbled

"Oh"

"She does kind of look like Ni though." my mom said and I looked at Milani "Mm." I shrugged just a lil.

"Who is your girl?"

"K'yonii." I said blankly

Gone ask like she gone know her or something.

"It's Tk's little girl." my mom said "Ohhh the small one who nuh tal-? Wait him have two gyal, yuh have di loud one?" she asked

"No. The small one who doesn't talk. How you kno-" my phone rang cutting me off and I answered seeing it was Ni.

"She gone live real long." my mom said knowing who it was.

"Wassup?" I spoke "Where are you?"

"Where you?" I asked and she smacked her lips "I'm at my moms house." I said "Did she cook? Also see if she has tylenol I have a fucking headache bruh." she said

"She did and do you have tylenol?" I asked my

mom "I have tylenol."

"She said she has tylenol." I said

"I'm at home. Bring me a plate and tylenol please."

"Fasho. I love you"

"I love you too Jacione." she said and hung up She know what she doin'. My lawd.

"Back to you how you know my girl and she didn't?"

"Because I was in jail for like 6-7 years then I was on the run. Thats why I didn't know them. Your grandma babysat them and their mom babysat you." my mom said and I looked at her

"Damn. What did you do?"

"You don't wanna know what I did." she chuckled "Arlene you're very dotish in many ways" my grandma said

"Meh use ah babysit alla uunuh together. Oh I bought my picture book. Mek I go get it." she said getting up

"Show me later I'ma go attend my girlfriend."

"I'll show both of uunuh when you come back." she said and I noddedkkoo

"Ma can I get your tylenol?" I asked and she dug in her purse and handed me the bottle.

"She ah sleep uunuh ass." my grandma said as a sleeping Milani laid in my hands and I chuckled standing up

"I see y'all later."

"Be safe."

I nodded leaving the house. I put Milani in her carseat trying not to wake her up.

"How long she been sleep?" Ni asked me "She just went to sleep like 5-10 minutes ago." I said

"What did y'all do?" she asked me "We went to the mall."

"You would go to the mall while I'm sleep. Only lame ass niggas do shit like that."

"Call me a lame ass nigga then." I shrugged and she walked over to me wrapping her arms around me

"Did you sleep good?" I asked rubbing her back and she nodded "It would've been better if you were there."

"Corny. You kicked me out." I said and she chuckled "I know but then I missed y'all and yea."

I pecked her lips a few times then stared at her. "I love yo little ass." I mumbled " I am not that little." she said

"Yes you is. Being boney and pregnant make you look like an alien." I said and she punched me in the stomach going to leave.

"Slut."

"Boney ass hand." I held my stomach and she turned around "Don't make me fuck you up jacione."

"Girl I want you to fuck me up." I mumbled and she shook her head laughing

"Where you goin'?" I asked "To go eat." she said and I walked out behind her and scooped her up bridal style and jogged down the stairs

"Can I put yo chain on so I can feel like gangster?" she asked and I nodded "You want me to buy you one?"

"No I wanna wear yours." she smiled as I made it down the last step. I put her down and took off my chain then put it on her.

"My mini me for real." I said and we did our handshake "Kalik why we can't be like that?" Yonaa said

"Malia leave me alone." Kk mumbled flicking her ear and she hissed.

"They're funny." Ni mumbles "Oh my Go- I posted a video on tok tik a-" "Tik tok."

"Yea that and this guy was like "my dick 8 inches" and I was like "so is mine" and he blocked me like boy how you mad?" she said

"You're stupid." I laughed as we walked in the kitchen

"Hello my wonderful parents." she said and they side eyed her "What you do to her?" Tk asked MeMe "Y'all gone keave me the fuck alone." she muttered

"I just want someone to make me a plate for real." she said "I made you guys one already." her mom said

"Muchas gracias."

•••••••••••••••••••

"Boy move." K'yonii chuckled as I came between her legs. I smacked her phone out of her hand and started giving her fake strokes

"Look how I be in yo shit." I said making her laugh "Moveeee"

"I long dick het like mmm mmm mmm I long di- move you freak." I said when she grabbed my dick through my sweats.

"Boy you was just humping me." she smacked her lips "You think you can suck my dick in a handstand?"

"Jaci- leave me alone" she laughed "That shit would go hard though. The kids gone be like mama why the fuck are we upside down" I said

"Bruh shut up." she said laughing harder "Do you remember my grandma?"

"I'm not sure if I met either of your grandmas'." she said "She said she used to babysit all of us." I said and she shook her head

"Yea I don't know." she shrugged "Yo mom babysat me too."

"So why I don't remember you?"

"Nigga I don't know I don't remember you neither." I said "So why you come over here with half the facts, half factin' ass." she mumbled

"I'ma knock yo ass out." I said and she grabbed her phone texting someone.

"Who you textin'?"

"My nigga."

I checked my phone. "I didn't get the message" I mumbled "Awe maybe cause I was texting my nigga." she says
