"Tione go check on ya brother hes been in that damn room all day ," his mom caughs interupting the moment .

"Ayt ma ," he sighs " ill be back soon baby ," he lets go of my hands , kisses my cheek and walks out .

"Good now that his gone we can finally talk ," his mom smiles
"Did Tione get you that ?" She coos looking at my promise ring

"Ummm yeah , yesterday actually ," i smile .

"He never did that for any other girl , im surprised he treats you like a princess , for the past year his heen playing girls after what happened with this other treesh Jasmine, " she scoffs .

"What do you mean ?" I ask .

"Well before Tione went to jail he was dating Jasmine and he seemed to really love her , he called her his lil girlfriend,  she used to write to him when he was in jail , but when he got out she had a boyfriend and he found out at a party ," she sighs .

Damn more and more reasons not to like Jasmine .

"Damn thats really sad ," i frown .

"Hey but look , he got you this ring and from the looks of it its a promise ring ?" I nod and she contimues " one thing about Tione , he doesn't make promises ever , because whenever he does he cant bring himself to break them , so whatever he told you trust and believe his not lying ," she stirs whatever it is in the pot .

Hold up this woman said Tjay went to jail ? Like  im not even finna judge him for that but i thought he would've told me .
I shrug the thoughts off regardless .

" I really love your son  ma'-  ummm Marie , all i wanma do is see him smiling ," i sigh

"Well ion what you do to that boy but he controls his temper when it comes to you ," she laughs .

"Yeah that boy has a bad temper , he punched this other guy Travaughn the other day ,"

"Tjay's messing with the opps again ?" She asks concerned .

"Not necessarily,  he was trash talking me at a party and tjay lashed out at him ," i answer .

"Mmm just make sure that boy doesn't get into any street shit again ,"

Tjay and i have lunch at his moms house and then leave . His brother Ba'kari  was pretty nice to me too , and Gloria was really sad to see us go , but we had to .

We're currently on our way to the place where Tjay grew up cause my stubborn ass told him we aren't leaving New York without going there .

"Shaw you sure you can handle this ? You grew up in the subur-" i cut him off

"Tjay for the hundredth time im sure ."

"Okay but when we get there no starring at anyone unless you tryna get hit , ion wanna flame someones ass ," he mumbles the last part to himself .

"Tjay im straight dont worry ,"

"You sumn else , you gave up Dior for the hood ? Nah im still spoiling your ass whenever you want me to ," he chuckles .

We go to the neighbourhood he grew up in and it isnt as scary as his making it seem . Alot of people are outside hanging out in groups , smoking , drinking , doing drugs and all that , most of them under age .

He parks the car and i do have to admit that it looks out of place there like its finna draw alot of attention. 
We walk up and down the block a few times and then we go to a park where Tjay says he used to go to think and we just sit and talk .

"Mavie?" I read the tattoo on his arms that id never noticed . I mean i knew he had a tattoo ive just never taken time to read it .

"Yea , my grandmama , she passed away and i never got to go to her funeral, " he sighs .

I look at him gesturing for him to continue and he does " i was locked up at the time , and before you judge me -,"

"Baby id never judge you ," i look at him .

"It was basically for a petty robbery me and the gang did , the opps snitched on me specifically and i couldn't mention the gang , they ma brothers , so i just took my sentence,"
