argue or to hear his wack ass excuses. I knew he would cause a scene and embarrass me not caring how bad he was making himself look.
Justice walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I wanted to melt in his arms that’s how confortable I felt being around him. His Gucci cologne lingered in the air and when he kissed my neck I shivered. I heard him chuckle and turned around, “You look nice.” I said admiring his swag, from the looks of it I could tell he wore nothing but the latest. He had on a red Gucci polo shirt, some black True Religion jeans and a pair of all black Valenciato’s rested on his feet. His jewelry matched the way he looked, his big gold diamond chains and diamond incrusted watch damn near blinded me.
“You look even better.” He said checking me out then hugged me again. At this point Prince being here didn’t even matter; he was a non-mother fucking factor. Justice had made me forget all about why I was trying to leave. Shit, I wasn’t going nowhere now. Prince who? I thought as I looked over at Samya. She smirked at me and Harlem told us to come on. We walked in the kitchen where the older folks were hanging out at. Harlem introduced Samya as his girl and she gave him a look that I’m pretty sure their mother caught.
“Nice to meet you,” Samya said and I can tell by just the tone of her voice she wasn’t feeling the way Harlem introduced her. I needed to see what was really going on with her because I can tell it’s something bigger than what she claiming it is.
“It’s finally nice to meet the woman my son can’t stop talking about. He tells me you are scared to commit and I can’t say that I blame you. I made his father earn my love and that nigga still fucked around on me.” Their mother stated causing me and Samya to laugh. “And who is this Justice?” she asked looking at me.
“Hi, I’m Jazmyn.” I said and waved.
“Aren’t you a pretty thang? Justice, one finally caught your eye huh? She asked him.
“Yea she might be wifey, if she plays her cards right.” He said smacking my ass. “We just chilling right now though, aint that right, ma?” Justice said
“Whateva boy, you practically ran upstairs when Harlem said them girls just pulled up.” Ms. Rachelle said putting Justice on blast.
“Damn bruh,” Harlem laughed.
“Ah Mama, I see you got jokes. Well on that note, we about to let y’all be before you start reminiscing.” Justice said before grabbing my hand and walking out. I told Ms. Rachelle it was nice meeting her and looked back to see where Samya and Harlem went. I shook my head when I saw them heading upstairs.
Justice asked was I hungry and I said yea. He walked me outside to get something to eat. He offered to fix my plate but I declined and fixed his instead. “You trying to spoil a nigga already.” He said when I placed a plate full of bbq chicken, sausage links, potato salad, devil eggs, baked mac and cheese, meatballs and corn on the cob in front of him.
“Nah, I was just raised that a women should always fix the man plate. I guess I’m just so used to doing it.” I replied
“That’s what’s up,” he said before digging in.
We was eating and talking for what seem like forever when I spotted Mya coming out the back door. Her hair wasn’t like it was when she left me. It was parted this way and her bang was swooped to the side. I was about to laugh at her dumb ass for even coming out the house like that. I know Ms. Rachelle was cracking up right about now. I told Justice I would be back and walked off to go help her fix it. Before I could reach her, I was being yanked by my neck in the opposite direction.
“Bitch, is you fucking stupid?” Prince said pushing me further and further away from the crowd.
“Prince move, let me go!”
“Who do you think you are talking to Jaz? Don’t get fucked up out here.”
“I’m done with you, I’m sick of you and all the bullshit you put me through. Move, get off of me.
