Chapter 22

RASHAD

"How the fuck she gon have me looking like ah punk dawg? I'm her motherfucking nigga and she aint tell me shit" Trey vented. He was on fire, he was really upset but who can blame him. I'd be upset if Summer kept some shit like that from me but I might have handled the situation differently. Trey is my brother and he takes shit from zero to 100 real quick because he is short tempered. But when he fucks with you, he wont allow anyone to touch a strand of hair on your skin. He's very protective of people he love, especially Trina.

"I told yo ass that shit just a few days ago now look what happened" Jah said as he counted the money on his desk. Jah and I were at the trap chillin when Trey came in fuming with anger.

"I feel useless as fuck mane like I cant trust her. She got me wondering what other secrets she be hiding from me besides that"

"I feel you bro.  My head would've been on one hunnid." I began

"Fashoo"Jah agreed

"But with all respect  trey, I think that you handled that shit wrong bro" I finished and Trey furrowed his brow in confusion

"Fuck you mean boy, didn't you listen to shit I just said"

I nodded "I did and I understand why you would be upset but maybe you was a lil too harsh on her bro." I shrugged my shoulders "For starters, it aint easy to confess that shit to someone bro and I understand you as her boyfriend, would expect her to tell you everything"

"Most def cause I keep it one hunnid with shawty"Trey cut me off

"I know but girls are different to niggas. To them, It's hard to talk about shit like that to someone, while for us it may be easier. Trina's  probably ashamed of what happened. She probably think you might look at her or treat her differently knowing that you were not her first. From the scene that played out with her moms and shit, you should've know that Trina keeps secrets and she probably has even darker ones to reveal. But instead of letting your anger get in the way, you should focus on making her feel so comfortable with you that she will open up to you instead of that therapist. Don't judge her, whether she tell you shit late or 20 years later. Dont make that stand in the way of making her feel better. Right now she probably feeling horrible for saying what happened and even worst because the only person she got turned his back on her."

"Damn" I heard Jah say and I chuckled as I looked at my phone to see it was time for me to go pick up Summer from school. I was 'gonna have dinner with her aunt and her dad today. Trey  just sat there as though he was processing everything I just said

"Listen ya'll I gotta slide,  gotta go collect my baby from school"

"Ain't Jhene at school today?"Jah asked

"Yeah but you know Jhene be on her own shit these past days" I responded referring to Jhene and her new nigga. I smirked as Jah's  jaw clenched as he resumed  to counting his money.

I turned to trey before leaving "Think about what I said bro"I dapped him up before I left.

SUMMER

"Summer Reese and Deshaun Waters, you guys will be partnered for this project" Ms. Green said just before the bell rang for dismissal

"Damn you got Deshaun fine ass to work with for this project" Jhene pouted next to me as I began packing up my things

"Girl mind yo nigga"I scolded her.

She smacked her lips as she stood to her feet and began gathering her stuff "He aint my nigga"

I rolled my eyes as I followed Jhene's actions and began packing up to leave. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around coming face to face with the one and only Deshaun Waters. He smiled showing his pearly whites. I wouldnt lie, he was fine but Imma sucker for my baby Rahshad.

"Hey Summer, I saw that we're partners so I just wanted to come over to say hi and find out how we're gonna go about this project."

I looked at my watch and sighed. I told Rashad to pick me up so i knew that he probably was waiting for me already. "Umm sorry to spoil anything but I gotta go now. How about tomorrow we meet or whenever you're free we can talk about it? "

"How bout we exchange numbers so if we cant meet up personally we can just message and make a date and time" he licked his lips and i nodded "sure no problem."  He gave me his phone and i put my number in and he took mine and put in his.

"Ight see you around Summer" he winked before leaving

"That nigga better know I fight for what belongs to my brother. He fine and everything but he a lil too friendly with my bestie slash sis in law." Jhene scrunched up her face she watched him up and down as he walked out the class

"Girl bye" I brushed her off as we collected out back packs and went out the class.

We made our way to the front and i saw Rahshad's  car already parked waiting for me. "Imma see you tomorrow girl" i hugged jhene and she hugged me back

"Bye girl" she said before we both went our separate ways.

*********************************************

"Hey mamas"Rashad leaned over kissing me on the lips when i entered the car.

"Hey baby" I buckled my seat belt after i pulled away from the kiss. He pulled from the curb and began driving.

"You lookin hella fine, luckily a nigga rollin strapped. You know ion play bout mines" he smirked as he ran his tongue over his lips making me blush

"Is that so?"  he nodded as he grabbed my hand kissing the back of it

RASHAD

"How was school today?"

"It was fine. Missed Trina today though. By chance you know how her therapy went? i messaged her during lunch to find out  but she didnt reply"

I shook my head "Nah Ma I didnt" I lied straight through my teeth because it wasn't my place to tell Summer the news. Its Trina's, therefore she should tell summer.

Summer nodded as she looked forward to the road.

"You heard about my mama's cook out this weekend?" I asked and summer shook her head no. "Ight well you finna slide through Imma come pick you up or you can stay the night"

She chuckled "You didnt even ask me with yo demanding ass"she huffed and I smiled

"Cause I aint taking no for an answering, you coming regardless" I smirked and she laughed

****************************************************

TREY

It was 7pm and I had now arrive home. I entered the house and it was quiet. I went up the staircase to my room and saw Trina laying there on the bed. She didnt change out of her clothes and she had tear stains on her cheeks. I sighed as I looked at her, I wanted to hold her in arms but my anger was getting the best of me. I felt as though I was no used to her. All the years we've been together I shared everything with trina, hell i even cried infront of her, i trusted her so i told her everything. That girl knew me inside out. But I didnt know here like that........she kept secrets from me.

I took a step towards the bed but stopped. I looked at her before taking a deep breath and turning around and exiting the room.

I needed to be away for a while

I  hopped in my car and zoomed off.

*****************************************

SUMMER

Rashad and I had now finished dinner with my dad and my aunt, so my dad went to bed and my aunt in the living room. Rashad and I were on the front porch relaxing. I was sitting on his lap as he rested his head on my boobs as  his arms were wrapped securely around my waist.

"I'm happy my dad likes you"I  spoke breaking the silence

Rashad chuckled "its not like its the first time im meeting him tho. Its just the first time im meeting him with the "boyfriend" title"he put his fingers in the air to quoted 'boyfriend'.

"Yeah I forgot, we were friends before" I laughed nervously as I played with my fingers.

His eyes squinted looking at me "You know since I've been back you've been acting a little different"

My eyes widen "No I'm not "I became defensive.

He chuckled as he licked his lips "I know you like the back of my hand mamas, I study you like an exam, your movements and everything."He spoke as his eyes pierced me "It's like you're getting to know everyone all over again. You act like its you're first time knowing us all"

"Strange. So when am I going to meet your father?" I changed the topic and he furrowed his brows

"You met him already"

Fuck

"Im talking about meeting him with the girlfriend title"I mimicked his actions from earlier

"I don't think allat  necessary" he responded

"Why? don't you visit him? "

Rashad shrugged "Yeah I do but I aint boutta carry my girl in jail. Besides yo folks wont fuck with that shit"

"Oh"I sighed remembering how overprotective my aunt was of me. I nodded in disappointment  "Ok".

Rashad looked at me sensing my disappointment and began rubbing my back "I'll think about it ight"

I looked at him with a wide smile "Really?" and he nodded

*****************************

(3 days later with the girls at school)

"It's been 3 days and he still haven't spoken to me."Trina fussed "He haven't touched me, he barely looks at me. He just say good morning and good night that's it"

I rubbed her back comforting her. I understand trey's feelings because Trina was wrong for keeping such a big secret from him. But I also understand why Trina would keep that secret because its not easy opening up about stuff like that. "I have to admit Trey is reacting real heartless about the situation. He's wrong for that but you also have to understand why he would be upset ."

"Yeah girl, even Summer and i were upset  when you told us what happened so imagine trey's feelings. He must've felt  as though he has  failed as a boyfriend. Plus you know how bitchy he can be with his over emotional ass." Jhene added

"He didnt fail as a boyfriend, it was just that I wasnt comfortable to talk about it. I never told no one, I kept this to myself for years. I've carried this luggae on my own for years"Trina sniffed

"Now its time to let Trey help you with some of that luggage. You have reached your distance and now you've met someone who is willing to take away the weight, so let him" I looked at her with sad eyes.  Trina looked down at her untouched food on the table and nodded.

"I understand" she replied softly. Trina was a wreck. These past days have been tough for her.

"You gotta give him time,he'll come around. He's stubborn just like you so he wont come unless he's ready"Jhene said and trina nodded and looked at me.

"Can i sleep by you tonight summer? I don't think I can spend another night sleepin' next to him. It hurts too much."

"Of course u can hun"

"I wanna come too" Jhene pouted

"Bitch you know u can com thru anytime"

Jhene laughed. "Yall dont forget my mamas family cookout this weekend"

"We Cant, her food is the bomb" Trina said

"I was thinking about inviting Dante, what ya'll think about that?"

"As you should hoe"Trina hyped Jhene

"Yeah periodt" I co-signed

"Jahmiel  gon be there tho and you know how-"

"Girl fuck Jah. His ass had his chance and he fucked up. Besides he aint gonna try to be outta pocket at Mama Johnson place. He got mad respect for your mom"

"True"Jhene agreed "I surely hopes everything goes smooth"

"Girl it will. Dante acts really mature he aint bout that bitching shit, he just might put jah in his rightful place."

"Yeah you gotta zaddy" I agreed and jhene blushed

"Ouu the bitch  blushin like she's dick whipped"

Jhene rolled her eyes at Trina's comment "Come on trina we havent even kissed yet"

"Whatchu waitin on? Dante is everything"

"I dont know Im  just not thinking about that" Jhene said while looking at her nails.

"So you're telling me that you're attracted to him and dont even think about kissing him, or think about the dick?!"Trina asked

This girl can so bold, she aint got no cover for her mouth

Jhene rolled her eyes "Yes Trina"

THIS IS TRINA'S REACTION lol

"I'm serious Trina. I dont-"

"Dont talk now, here he comes" I whispered as I saw dante entered the cafeteria and began making his way over to us.

"Sup" he said generally

"Heyyy" we sang out and he nodded to us before turning his attention on Jhene.

"Whats up ma"he leaned down kissing Jhene's cheek before sitting next to her. Jhene blushed like crazy.

"Hey Dickte" Jhene said making Trina and my eyes widen. "Fuck i meant Dante" Jhene cringed palming her forehead

Trina and I  tried to hold in our laughter.

This girl really be thinking bout that dick lol

Dante smiled as he took a  fry from her plate  "U gucci ma"

Jhene smiled arkwardly before shooting glares at Trina and I who were laughing.

I cleared my throat  trying to become serious again "Hey Jhene do your mom need help for the COOK OUT"I asked emphasizing on 'cookout' so that she can invite dante. Her eyes widen as tho she remembered.

"Yeah she will...that reminds me" she turned to dante "My mom is having a cookout this saturday would you like to come?" she asked as she bit down nervously on her lips

"Hmm this Saturday" he said to himself as though he was thinking "I got something to do that day" he responded making all of our faces fall.

Jhene  smiled trying to hide her disappointment but  failed "Really, oh ok."she turned back to her food and began poking it.

This bitchass nigga

"So you'll save me a seat, because I'll cancel it" he said and Jhene shot up with the brightest smile

"Realy!!"she exclaimed and he nodded smiling

"Once you want me there, Imma be there Ma"

Ok I take that back

Trina and I high fived one another below the table as we looked at Jhene smitten by Dante. This cookout is boutta be something.
