You bet not be in there fuckin that boy!! DaeDae: Man you can kill all that!!! My mama here so you better act like you know? Melody: Aww damn! When did she get here? Man if I aint have to catch the bus home I would leave. DaeDae: Bitch, don't even go there! Yo ass never catch a bus down here! Trifling ass... Just as I said that my Mom walked up and slapped me in the back of my head. Mom: Mire a Chico de! Boca de yo? (Watch yo mouth boy!) What I told bout using that kind of language in my house! DaeDae: Lo Siento! (I'm sorry) I thought you had a meeting today? Mom: I do and it's here? Where is your brother? I haven't seen him since I been back. DaeDae: He claims he stayed at Grandma House. Mom: Ese chico de fuckin que va a ser la muerte de mi carrera! (That fuckin boy going is to be the death of my career!) My mom was pissed. She really didn't like us being around my dad's side of the family. She said it was bad for business but she had no choice. DaeDae: Chill mommy Papi wasn't there. Mom: All I have to say is whatever is going on between you and your brother better be fixed by tonight. And I am not playing Ke'Shawn. DaeDae: But ma you- It's been 3 week and JJ and I haven?t really spoken to each other only to pass messages from Mom. Melody was looking lost as hell cuz she was trying to figure out how my mom knew what was going on. Mom: You heard what I said. I'm late for my meeting. Be sure you and your brother are ready by 7 because the car will be here at 7:30 to pick you up. I'm sorry I can't stay Melody but I have to run. Make sure he treats you right. Amo (Love you) Fix it! My mom winked at Melody and went down to the conference room. Melody: How the fuck does your mom know what happen? DaeDae: She doesn't! She jus knows something is off and if she does know she not saying it. Come on let's go I need a suit for tonight. Melody: Ugh you have like a million already!!! Is this why you called me over here?! DaeDae: Yes and No? We haven't been spending time together lately so I want to make sure everything was cool. Melody: Aww you so GAY!!! Lol nigga I'm good I been giving you space cuz word on the street is you've been seen around town with a light skin look alike of T. I. and sources say that's your new boo? lol DaeDae: What magazine you seen that in? Melody: Us weekly.... But you also was on TmZ, media take out and few others. You know they like bashing you because you won't come out publicly. They scared to follow yo brother. Lol. DaeDae: I'm not bout to be forced to come out publicly. Plus my business is - Melody: Every body! Cuz ya mama rich and yo daddy a dope boy so get the fuck over it! Lol DaeDae: fuck you bitch!!! Your right I really don't feel like shopping so let's have chill day jus the 2 of us. Melody: I smell a rat? But I'm down? I smiled at her and we went to my room. And spent the day gossiping and shopping online. We mostly brought mostly a bunch of stuff for my car that I kept hidden away and stuff for her. Nothing really caught my eye so we spent the rest of the day watching The Bad Girls Club. I noticed that the whole time we were hanging out her phone kept going off. DaeDae: You must have a new nigga cuz every time that phone goes off you walkin outta here to go talk on it. Since when we started that shit?! Melody: Damn Bruh chill out? Can I keep some stuff to myself? Lol DaeDae: Something going on I feel it! Melody: Bitch you and yo feelings can kiss my ass. Lol. Anyway not to get all serious on you but have you talked to him yet? DaeDae: Naw not yet. He really hasn't been home and when he's here he lock himself in his room. I dnt even know what to say to him. I told you so jus doesn't seem like the right thing to say. And besides why should I have to go to him when I was right and he was wrong? Melody: That's true but you still have to talk to him. I can look at you and tell you miss him. It's like when yall not talking to each other yall off balance. Like yin and yang type shit, real talk bruh. DaeDae: I'll talk to him tonight. Anyway are you ready for the party this weekend? Melody: Is this a trick question? HELL YEAH I BEEN READY FOR LIKE A MONTH!!! ARE YOU READY?! DaeDae: Honestly I don't wanna have it. With JJ and I not talkin it just seems weird to have it. Melody: I swear to God if you cancel this party I will never speak to you again. DaeDae: Ho shut up! You can't go a week without talkin to me?. Lol... There are only 4 parties we throw every year and they have become legendary. Melody was right I couldn't cancel the party even if I wanted too. To cancel the party we had to vote on it, Mom, Melody, JJ, Christian and Me. The party that was coming up was the 4th of July party. The others were My Bday, New years eve, and back to school. I looked at the clock and it was now 6pm DaeDae: Oh shit!!!! I'm gon be late! Find me a suit while I go get ready... Melody: Ugh you so UN organized! I ran across the hall to see if JJ was home and to lay his suit out for him. I love my brother but the nigga don't have a sense of style. Just as I was walking towards his closet he came out the bathroom wrapped in a towel. DaeDae: my bad bruh I aint know you was home. I was just comin to take out yo- JJ: Mom did it for me already so I'm good. DaeDae: Oh ok? When did- JJ: Like 2 hours ago yo anything else? DaeDae: Jus be ready at 7: 30... With that I walked out his room, I went str8 to shower and get extra fine. I had to be up to Mom's standards cuz I knew this was an important dinner for her. She often took us out to dinner when something big was going down. That meant another boring evening of entitled snobs trying to politely talk shit about our family and shit. I can deal with it cuz I can talk nice nasty with the best of them, I just hope JJ kept his cool tonight. I finished my shower and doin all the things I do. I slid on my black American Eagle boxer briefs and walked into my room. Melody was in the closet unzipping a garment bag. DaeDae: what the fuck is that? Melody: I don't know: Guadalupe or Guadalajara or Consuela brought it in and said yo Mom wanted you to wear this tonight. DaeDae: First of all her name is Lupe you stupid bitch... lol and if Mom is picking out our clothes then this must be really big tonight. Melody: What do you mean? DaeDae: Listen is you staying here tonight or are you goin too shone? Melody: Suck my dick nigga... I'm goin home. I already called the car. Remember what I said and call me after. Oh and by the way your boo text?. DaeDae: get out my house ho... Luv ya I went to check my phone and I had like 4 messages from Ramon Text convo Ever since that night I fell asleep in Ramon's arm, we've been getting closer every week. Once we were lying in my bed and I swear he almost got me. The nigga was saying and doing all the right things and my body was going crazy. But ya boy stood firm. In more ways than one and didn't give into to the carnal pleasures of the flesh lol. I couldn't help but smile. Mom: What the hell you in here smiling bout? Are you that conceited you smiling at yourself in the mirror? You look just like your father in that tux. Your bowtie is crooked. DaeDae: Man fool you scared the crap outta me ma! And no I was thinking bout something. Mom: You mean someone? The same someone that has had you wrapped up for the past 3 weeks and is with you in all the photos that's going around. DaeDae: so you know about him huh? Mom: Yes I know everything about him. It's my job to know your every move. Just like I know what happen with you, your brother and your dad. She was standing behind me looking me directly at me in the mirror. My life flashed before my eyes. I knew I was dead. I had 3 options at this point 1. Run, 2. Run, 3. Run like hell. I tried to judge the distance between her and the door and I might can make it if I time it right. I'm tripping I'm grown and if I can hold a gun to my dad's head I can stand up to my Mom. Right? DaeDae: Before you get all crazy I had to go save my brother. I did my job as brother and I protected my family at all cost. I'm an adult and I made a decision and I stand by it! Mom: Is that so? My Mom walked over to my bed and sat down. Now I'm terrified, this lady is never this calm. My phone is on the other side of the room I can't call JJ or nobody. Mom: Come and sit down mi amor. And if I were you I would not do what you thinking about doing. Fuck!!!! I'm dead, she gon go crazy on my ass and I'm gon be grounded till I'm 60. I knew I should've fucked Ramon. I'm never gon know what he taste like! I slowly walked over to the bed and sat as far away from her as I could. Mom: I know you love your brother, the bond yall have is special. But you have to let him go and be his own man. Just like you told me you made and adult decision, so did he. He made the wrong one but you have to let him make em and clean up his own mess. I hate your father for making JJ do what he does for his affection. And if it was me there I would have shot the son of a bitch. The only reason you are sitting here right now is because your father allowed you to walk out the door. He is a murderous bastard and the only good thing to come from is you and your brother. I know it may not seem like it but he loves you. My mom leaned in and kissed me on my forehead. She stood up and walked towards the door. Mom: by the way I want the gun by the end of the week and you're grounded until further notice. Let's go.
