Once In A Lifetime (Sequel to Secrets)

Back at it again

Jacob's Pov

Everyday it gets harder to stay clean. I'm trying to stay strong for Aaliyah and my son. Being around drugs all the time it's driving me crazy. I need to talk to my boy Craig. I need that hook up ASAP. I'm so stressed lately.

I fight the urge and give in. I let Craig know what's up and he's gives me what I've needed.

"Craig man you're the man. I needed this so bad."

"I can't do this for long. If Natalie finds out she's gonna tell Aaliyah. So don't get used to it." Says Craig

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing I'm just having a bad day that's all." Says Craig

"Talk to me what's up?"

"Alright I saw Ray the other day. I almost killed him." Says Craig

"What why?" 😳🙀

"Cuz man he's getting on my nerves. Him and Natalie have been talking. I don't trust that nigga." Says Craig

"I really thought y'all was cool. You fooled me and Chris."

"What did he do?" Asks Chris walking in food hanging out of his mouth.

"Oh thank goodness I'm starving."

"Here I got everything y'all asked for. I didn't have to pay for shit. This cutie was all over me. She gave me my food for free." 😏👌 says Chris

"Lucky you ain't nothing better than free food."

"She gave me her number but I can't call her." 😩 Says Chris

"Good boy you know Nikki will beat that ass if you did." Says Craig

"Shut up. Back to this killing someone." Says Chris

"I had a little issue with Ray. You better talk to him before he get his ass killed. I ain't with that disrespect feel me?" 😒 Says Craig

"Don't do anything stupid."

"I'm not yet anyway." Says Craig with a crazy look in his eyes.

"This is too much I'm bout to eat. Then I'm gonna get high and enjoy this good coke." 😍

"Wait you're on that stuff again?" 😳 Asks Chris

"Yeah I am it's just right now. I'm not gonna get addicted."

"Sure." Says Chris

"Mind your business I'm going thought a lot right now. Alright give me a break." 😑👏👏

"We all are man look around. You win the only one stressed. We all got a kid. Well except for Craig but he takes care of Hazel. We all got shit to deal with. I know what you're going through but coke ain't the answer. That shit right there is some new shit. Who knows what it's mixed with. Just stick with some weed." Says Chris

"Nah I'm good it ain't strong enough. I wanna be num." 😁

"Man your crazy." Says Chris

"Let him have fun besides I need to see if my product is good. You can be our tester. Let me know if it's good and what I need to fix. It's all on me my man." Says Craig

"That's what I'm talking about." 😭😭🙌

"I can't believe this." 🙅 Says Chris

"Relax he's fine. Better with us than that bitch Sunshine." Says Craig

"What she's back?" Asks Chris

"Yeah she is. Back to her old tricks to. Only this time it's for Mia. I saw them together last week." Says Craig

"I knew something was up. When I saw Mia something was off. She didn't look like herself." Says Craig

"Do the girls know?" Asks Chris

"Nope they too busy playing mommy." Says Craig

"Hey she can't help herself. I understand what she's going through. Getting hooked on drugs young is hard. I was 17 when I started. I'm 20 years old now. It's hard out here."

"It ain't that hard." Says Chris

"You won't ever know what I go through. I've been doing other drugs since I was 14. I've had a hard life. I didn't tell anyone cuz I was ashamed. So I did weed in front of you guys to play it off. But behind doors I was doing some serious shit."

"That's crazy." Says Chris

"It happens that's life. Enough of this little chat. Lets eat lunch and get back to work afterwards. I'm not trying to work late tonight. I don't feel like hearing Natalie bitch at me." 😫 Says Craig

"I hear you let's hurry up and eat. I'm not getting yelled at either." Says Chris

"Y'all tripping Aaliyah is used to me being out. I just keep her in diamonds and it's all good. I give her a $2,000 allowance each month. Ever since then she's good." 🌚

"Wow she's got you whipped." Says Chris

"Maybe so at least I can still do me. So you guys rush I'm taking my time."

"Speak for yourself." Says Chris throwing up his hands.

After lunch we all get back to work.

My phone started going off.

"Hello."

"Oh good you answered do you mind if I spend more than my limit today? I saw some more jewelry and I have to have it." Says Aaliyah

"Yeah it's fine. Listen I'm gonna be late today."

"That's fine go make that money baby. I gotta go I have to feed baby prince. Talk to you later." Says Aaliyah

"Alright give him a kiss for me. I love you."

"Love you too. She blows kisses into the phone and hangs up.

"You really gonna let her blow all your money?" Asks Chris

"Yes I am that's what a good boyfriend would do."

"Nikki doesn't go through my money. She just wants me home on time. As long as I change the baby she's good." Says Chris

"I like to spoil my girl. She has to look her best at all times." 😌☝

"Nah you just like her bragging about it. " says Chris

"Call it what you want but I'm cool. I've put her through a lot. I feel that I owe her big time."

"You still think you owe her man it's been nearly 3 years. I'm sure she's moved on." Says Chris

"Yeah but I feel bad. I've started using again. Once she finds out I'm done. So why not keep her happy in the meantime." 🌝

"If you say so. Says Chris

"I think we need a vacation." Says Craig walking into the room with a big smile on his face.

"Where should we go?" Asks Chris

"New York. Says Craig

"Hell yeah I'm down. I love New York that's my city. The city of lights that never sleeps."

"I'm down," Says Chris.

"Natalie keeps talking about going to this play at the Beacon Theatre. There's so much to do. We can hit up Dave and Busters." Says Craig

"They have the best games." 😁

"We can go to Juniors they have some good deserts." Says Craig

"You had me at the New York part."

"Yeah me too let's go." Says Chris

"I need a break."

"We all do." This is perfect Natalie's parents just left." Says Craig

"Oh yeah how was it?"

"Crazy she went off on her mom. Lets just say it wasn't pretty."🙈 Says Craig

"That's terrible she still isn't over it?"

"I guess not." Says Craig

"Anyway when we leaving?" Asks Chris

"It's up to y'all. We can leave whenever." Says Craig

"Hmm lets tell the girls and go from there. They might have plans or something."

"They know I told Natalie last night." Says Craig

"That would explain Nikki suddenly going shopping." Says Chris

"Yeah didn't they all go shopping together?"

"I think so." Says Craig

"Yeah they did I remember Nikki telling me this morning. I was half listening but I'm pretty sure they did." Says Chris

"Then it's settled tonight y'all can come over my house and we'll discus it." Says Craig

"Sounds good to me."

"Yeah me too." Says Chris

We get back to work and I have a big ass grin on my face. I needed this vacation. Like no one understands. I'm bout to get turnt up.
