As Time Goes By 3

Corinthian 23

"COME ON JA'KARI WE'RE LEAVING!" Troix said walking through the house with a small suitcase. He walked over to his big brother, grabbed his hand and started heading towards the front door, Nasir tried to follow after his brothers but.... "NO NOT YOU!!! Come on Ja'Kari." Troix said pushing Nasir who fell out crying.... I'm going to pray for Troix because Nasir is going to give them hell when they get older; they reminded me a lot of how I used to treat Marquise wanting Noah all to myself.

"Troix get over here!" Noah snapped and Troix looked at him for a second before throwing his suitcase which opened revealing a bunch of toys. We all sat around for about ten minutes before Dad Number Two told us that they were pulling up.... God, help us all. We all walked out of the house as a big ass van pulled up to the house, I looked down the line at my family and didn't really like our odds. Noah was injured and Dad One was tipsy, that just left me and Marquise.... then my saving grace pulled up; Uncle Marsean, Aunt Tonya, Marucs Jr., Marcel, and Mama Angela all stepped out and I felt a wave of calmness.

"Where's Ace?" Marcel asked walking over to us and dappin us all up.

"He went to his dad's house." Marquise said bitterly before me and Marcel could make a plan for us to beat his ass for abandoning up.

"MAAAARRRCCCCCUUUSSSS!!!!!" I loud high pitch voice shrieked causing a cold chill to go down my spine. Aunt Kenyatta stepped out the car and ran over to Dad Number Two, as they hugged I noticed her three sons getting out the car; first was the youngest Ry'Kell he had grown since the last time we seen him but his eyes shifted from side to side as if he were looking to see who's wallet would be the easiest for him to steal, Ry'Kell was the living embodiment of 'hands up, cash out'.

"Sup y'all?" Ry'kell said nodding in our direction, he had that innocent ass smile on his face that I knew better than to trust. Next was Raji, the middle son probably the least problematic of the three which was saying a lot. Raji walked over and bypassed everyone except Mama Angela, Jade, Paris, and Aunt Tonya; Raji's weapon of choice was his charm a ladies man who took pride in being able to 'steal anyone's girl' so when he glanced at Paris I put my arm around her waist daring him to try.

"I hope y'all got something planned, I've been stuck in a car with them for like twenty hours and I'm dying to get away from them." Raji said still smiling in Paris's direction, I started to check him but the oldest son stepped out the car with his baby mom (I only call her that because their relationship was always in flux) but Rakim and Tamika stepped out with their three year old son Rakim Jr and I could tell they had been arguing.

"AWWW COR-BEAR YOU'VE GOTTEN SO BIG!!!" Aunt Kenyatta yelled walking over to me and kissing me all over my face, Dad Number Two's face told me to take it and I prayed I was compensated for this shyt. "I'm so happy to see all of y'all!!!" Aunt Keyatta cried even though her eyes were as dry as the Houston highway in summer.

"Kenyatta, if you want me and Tonya can take y'all to the other house where y'all will be staying for the summer." Dad Number Two said politely, Aunt Tonya stepped on his foot and he shot her a dirty look. Noah was talking with Rakim and Tamika, Raji was having a side conversation with Marcus Jr and Marcel, and Ry'Kell was interrogating Marquise, this was my chance to escape. I grabbed Paris's hand and slowly started backing up until.....

"UNCA TORI WHERE YOU GOIN!?!?!?!? I WANNA COME!!!!" Troix yelled causing everyone to look at me. I was about to toss his little snitchin ass in the dumpster, but since I didn't feel like hearing Noah's mouth I decided to think of some lie.

"Uhh... it's too hot out here for my daughter so I was about to take her in the house." I said shrugging.

"UHN-UN UNCA TORI DA... DA BABY IN DA HOUSE SLEEP.... YOU LYIN.... bitch." Troix said and I was really getting close to locking his ass in a closet because he just wouldn't stop snitchin.
