Broken Promises

Chapter 19 : Good Talk

Kyla

"So let me get this fucking straight, you are working for your DEADBEAT ASS DADDY RILEY?!! Are you serious?! Do you know how much fear that man put in my damn heart when he came around me?! Ima beat yo ass!" I said taking off my shoe but Madio grabbed my arm gently.

"Aye look I know you mad, but just calm down so you can hear him out okay?" He said looking at me. I sighed and looked back at Riley.

"You better get to explaining and I mean right now before my shoe go flying up yo ass Riley!" I said mugging him.

I can't believe this shit! He could've worked ANYWHERE YALL. ANYWHERE. Riley is great with everything! Cars and math are his top two so I don't understand why he did this stupid ass shit. He ain't got no common sense.

"Ma it was to provide for my family, I can't keep depending on you and pops for shit! I'm a grown ass man!" He said standing up. "Boy who the fuck are you talking to? Grown men don't make stupid decisions that will put them behind bars and throw away a whole nba career! Don't follow between Kelvin! Be your own man! Riley you could be put behind bars for this shit. Regardless if you touching the product or not! You're guilty by Association!" I said looking at him.

"You're talking like you don't have a whole cartel leader behind you and a drug dealer for a baby daddy" he said with a straight face. This boy wants me to hurt him.

"You wanna know something, KELVIN is learning from that stupid decision he made as we speak! Madio was forced in the bullshit he's in and it's more to it so when you speak on shit state facts. I want both of them out of all of this cartel bullshit and I don't want my baby following behind any of it. You haven't even told me why you went to him Riley, after everything he put us through? Really? You know what, just forget it. Quit the job and call Jj. He can get you a job faster than you can blink. Be smart for Rose and the babies. Mhm yeah I know she's pregnant" I said walking up the stairs with Madio behind me.

"Youon think you were a little hard on him Sof? I mean he has a point. He's surrounded by it" Madio said shrugging. "Mad every since I started taking care of Riley and Chase I made sure that they never got into anything of that sort no matter how many people are doing it around them. I just want my babies safe and doing better. No disrespect on how you make your money but it's just it comes with jail time or death in the end and lord knows I will go crazy if I lose my kids to that" I said fanning my eyes.

"You're a great mom and I applauded you for that. He looks up to you as this super woman, hell everybody does. Riley seems like he has gotten to the point where he wants to leave the nest and find ways to do things without his parents help. It might not be the right way but he wants to try. If you want, I can talk to him for you? I'm asking because I don't want to step on anyone's toes" he said kissing my forehead. I only sighed and nodded my head.

I'm praying for so many things in life right now that it's crazy but I know the man above got me in due time.

Madio

Sofía or Kyla as everyone calls her is growing on me every day. There's no way in hell I would've let a female this fine get this close andddddddd have me hold off on a relationship to get herself together two years ago. I would've fucked and left... most likely would've been fuck her feelings.

Walking out of her room, I walked downstairs to see Riley texting on his phone.

"Hay Riley?" I said walking towards him. "The fuck do you want? My mama sent you down here to play step daddy already? Pops was right, she really is changing" he said mugging me. I sighed hard asf trying not to curse him out.

"I understand you mad and all but what you finna do is disrespect yo mama hell my girl. I came down here on my own! The shit you doing is only a step away from being a drug dealer. You don't see that do you? Niggas don't like to see young niggas getting out and doing better than them and from the looks of it yo sperm donor is one of them. Let me guess, he came to you and asked did you want to make some money huh?" I said folding my arms. He didn't say anything, all he did was drop his head low.
