A Family Hustle: Part 6

Chapter 17

[MARVIN'S POV]

I Had My Arm Around Kaidence's Waist, As We Walked Into The Living Room.

"Mom, Dad, This Is Mia's Mom April." Kaiden Said. My Eyes Grew Wide As I Held On To Kaidence Tight.

"I Knew This House Looked Familiar! Long Time No Talk Huh?" She Said. I Stared As If I Was Looking At A Ghost. April Palmer Was Standing In Front Of Me Once Again.

"You Guys Know Each Other?" Mia Asked.

"Yeah We Know Each Other." April Said. Kaidence Grabbed Aubree And Stormed Into The Room.

"Ohh. She Still A Grumpy Thing Isn't She?" April Said.

"THIS GRUMPY THING WILL BEAT YOUR ASS AGAIN! KEEP TALKING!" Kaidence Yelled.

"It's Time For You To Go." I Said.

"Why? Let's Catch Up. Its Been What? Some Years Now? And You Still Look Good." She Said.

"Mom!" Mia Said. Kaidence Hurried Out Of The Room, But Kaiden Grabbed Her.

"Get Out!" I Snapped.

"Mom Let's Go!" Mia Said.

"Good Seeing You Two Again." April Said. Her And Mia Left As I Closed And Locked The Door.

"What Was That All About?" Kaiden Asked.

"Why Is The World So Damn Small?" Kaidence Snapped.

"Calm Down Baby." I Said.

"Hello! What Was That About?" Kaiden Said Again.

"I DESPISE That Woman!" Kaidence Said.

"But Why?" He Said.

"Son It's A Lot Of Things That You Won't Understand." I Said.

"No! Tell Him! Tell Him How That Hoe Practically Threw Herself At You! How She Kissed You And Brought You Unwanted Gifts! Or How She Ran Me Off The Road And Tried To KILL Me! How She Sat In Your Office, Half Naked And Got Her Ass Beat!" Kaidence Snapped.

"Well....Your Momma Just About Summed It All Up." I Said.

"But That Was Years Ago! Why Can't Y'all Put It In The Past? I Really Like Mia And Thanks To Y'ALL; She'll Probably Ever Speak To Me Again." Kaiden Snapped.

"Calm Down Son. You're Blowing Things Way Outta Proportion." I Said. He Sighed And Walked Out To The Back Patio.

"Baby..." I Began, But She Cut Me Off.

"Don't!" She Said.

"Aye Calm Yo Ass Down! Kaiden Does Have A Point; We Do Need To Leave That Shit In The Past!" I Said.

"Past My Ass! She Came In Here With The Bullshit!" She Snapped.

"I Ain't Gon Tell Yo Ass Again To Calm Down." I Said.

"Whatever." She Said. She Walked Into The Bedroom And Slammed The Door.

"Lord This Is A Mad House." I Said To Myself. I Headed Upstairs To Get Everybody Ready For Bed.

"MJ, Get Off That Game And Get In The Shower." I Said.

"Okay." He Said. I Then Walked Into The Girls Room.

"Bath Time Girls. Who Took Their Shower First Last Night?" I Asked.

"Vaeh!" Naomii Said.

"Nu uh! Naomii Did!" Nevaeh Said.

"Okay Let's Do This....I'm Thinking Of A Number Between 1 And 10." I Said.

"7" Naomii Said.

"5" Nevaeh Said.

"My Number Was 4 So Bath First Naomii." I Said.

"Okayyy." She Whined. I Chuckled As I Headed Downstairs To Talk To Kaiden, But When I Walked Out On To The Patio; He Was Gone. Aw Shit. I Walked Back Into The House And Headed Into The Bedroom.

"You Calm?" I Asked. She Nodded.

"Come On Aubree. Bath Time." I Said.

"No I Got Her. You Go Talk To Kaiden." She Said. I Can't Tell Her That Kaiden Was Gone. She'd Flip The Fuck Out.

"Ima Let Him Calm Down. We Owe Him That Much." I Said.

"I Guess." She Said.

"Aye." I Said.

"What." She Said.

"Kiss Me." I Said.

"No." She Said. I Lifted Her Onto The Bed And Kissed Her.

"Mmm Marvin." She Groaned.

"I Just Wanted A Kiss Love." I Said. She Rolled Her Eyes And Went To Run Aubree A Bath.

"Come On Fatty. Let's Get You In The Tub." I Said.

"Tub!" She Said.

"Yep. Tub." I Said. As I Stripped Her Down To Her Diaper, And Passed Her To Kaidence; My Phone Began To Ring. It Was Kaiden.

"Hello." I Said, Walking Into The Living Room.

"Dad? I Need Your Help With Something." He Said.

"What's Wrong? Where You At?" I Said.

"I'm Outside On That Back Patio." He Said.

"Aight." I Said.

I Hung Up And Walked To The Back Patio. When I Stepped Outside, I Seen Kaiden And His Girlfriend. Oh Shit. This Can't Be Good.
