Blood Brothers

Chapter 8: Changes

Jordan

"Dom fucking tripping J, that nigga lucky I didn't ring his scrawny ass neck Tuesday night." Markell's voice flowed through Jordan's car speakers

Jordan listened to him vent as he drove to Lauryn's house, it was early Friday evening which meant that he was picking up Jordyn for the weekend.

"Come on Kel, y'all are better than this bullshit. Why don't you just talk to him? It seems to just be a big ass misunderstanding." Jordan reasoned

After all of the years of the men being friends, Jordan became the peacemaker of the group. He didn't care for drama or pointless ass arguments and he felt like life was too short to be beefing with the people you love especially when shit can just be talked out. Jordan knew his friends very well though, he knew that Markell was very prideful and Domonique was stubborn as hell so getting the two to reconcile would be easier said than done.

"Nah fuck that." Markell spat "That nigga said its fuck me, so he gone have to stand on that."

Jordan sighed, "Your feelings just hurt nigga and so is Dom's, once both of y'all get the fuck up out y'all feelings, then this whole issue can be resolved."

Markell sucked his teeth, "I ain't trying to hear that shit. Hell gone freeze over before I go out my way to hit that nigga line and that's on my father."

Jordan shook his head as he pulled into the driveway of Lauryn's three bedroom house located in midtown.

"Your pride gone be the death of you Markell." Jordan put his silver 2020 BMW Series 8 Grand Coupe in park

"Well so be it, I don't give a fuck how long we've been locked in, it's just certain shit you don't say." Markell spoke nonchalantly

"Your feelings are valid, and so are Dom's which is why y'all need to talk. But I'm not about to keep repeating myself, y'all grown ass men. Y'all will figure it out. This ain't y'all first argument anyway." Jordan stated honestly over the conversation

"Mhmm." Markell sighed into the phone "Imma let you go, I know you gotta pick up baby girl today. Give her a kiss for me, and tell her uncle Kel got her them new airpods she wanted."

Jordan shook his head before laughing, "Man, y'all got that girl spoiled rotten!"

Markell's laughter filled his car, "You know I can't tell her no, she gone get whatever she wants from me."

Jordan smiled at that statement, he was genuinely happy to have friends who loved and cared for his daughter just as much as he did. They were all a blessing.

"Appreciate you fool, I swear. But lemme go get her, I'll holla at you later." Jordan unbuckled his seat belt as he got ready to hang up his phone

"Heard you, be safe!" Markell responded before disconnecting the call

Jordan killed the engine to his car before stepping out and closing and locking his car doors. His freshly retwisted mid back length dreads swung freely from side to side as he walked to Lauryn's front door and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?" He heard Lauryn ask from the other end of the door

"Girl you got this ring camera, you know it's me. Open the door before I kick it open." He joked

Lauryn swung the door open and mean mugged him, "Mhmm, kick my door open and imma be kicking yo ass all up and down my driveway."

"Stop talking crazy, you wouldn't lay a hand on me." Jordan said with a smirk

Lauryn rolled her eyes before smiling, "Try me and see."

"Man whatever, where my daughter at?" He asked dismissing her statement
