I looked at myself in the mirror with a wide smile as I fixed my bonnet on my head. I had just finished using the bathroom because Dejhari, is just nasty as hell. That's all I can really say.

I had hickies on my neck and a large one on my chest. I wasn't really shocked because he always left marks on me but we haven't really had sex with each other in a few months.

It just seemed like he had so many new things to offer me now that we've taken a break. I can say I do appreciate him being in my life much more now than before.

He constantly shows me that he'll do anything for me and at first it was easy to ignore but now when I look back I can tell he really loves me.

"Muga," I heard as he walked into the bathroom. He walked directly over to me and wrapped his hand around my neck before kissing my cheek. "What you doing?"

"I'm looking at myself in the mirror." I said before looking up at him. "What?"

"We finna get inna shower." He said as he kissed down my shoulder. "Why you ain't turn it on?"

"I don't know." I said softly. "But I'm not getting in the shower with you. I wanna keep my side part in for today."

He smacked his lips. "Stop worrying about that. Come on. Put a shower cap on or something."

I frowned at him. "You don't care about my hair?" I questioned, he smiled at me.

"I do care Muga," He said. "Plus, I'a pay for you to get some new shit in so it don't even matter."

My phone started ringing which interrupted my response to him. I grabbed my phone and noticed it was DeMaya calling me so I quickly answered.

"Hey Mymy, you ok?" I said into the phone as I held it up to my ear, Dejhari huffed and walked away from me causing me to smirk.

"Yeah, I'm ok. What you doing?" She asked.

I turned around and leaned against the sink to see Dejhari was moving around his closet. I could tell he had him a small attitude about me answering the phone but I didn't see the problem.

"Nothing really," I said catching Dejharis attention. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing girl laying here with Kassidy. I was wondering if you was coming to brunch with us today? It's at 1:30." she said.

I noticed he was walking towards me. I couldn't help but smile big as he scooped me up into his arms. "Put me downnn!" I whined.

"No." He said holding me in his arms as he carried me back to the bed. "We gah finish."

"I'm on the phoneee." I said with a smile.

"Bitch it sound like you finna get some dick instead of brunch." She said on the other line, I busted out laughing.

"I'm gonna get the brunch too. I'll come with you guys." I said as he laid me on the bed. "Who's driving? I want those mimosas."

She started laughing. "I think Kianna gonna drive."

"Ok, well is she coming to get me?" I asked as Dejhari rubbed his hands around my waist. I felt him start kissing between my legs which meant he was ready to start whether I was off the phone or not.

"Yeah, she'll come and get you. Ima let her know. I was just calling because you never replied in the groupchat and Meena kept fucking asking me." She said. I could hear the aggravation in her voice.

I rolled my eyes. "I was busy that's why I didn't see the groupchat. Not that thats Meena's business. I don't have to respond to every one of her texts."

"Which I don't see why she don't understand that but I'll be sure to say something to her ass at the brunch cause that shit is annoying." She said, I felt Dejhari dip his tongue into my slit which caused me to look down at him in shock.

"I have to go Mymy." I said before hanging up. "You couldn't wait? Not even five minutes?"

He looked up at me and I couldn't help but melt.

He's looks so pretty down there.

I sat across from DeMaya at brunch while I ate my chicken and waffles. I had syrup all over my plate which made it so delicious. I ate a piece of chicken and looked at DeMaya who seemed like she had a attitude.

"Why you got that pout Mymy?" Treasure asked looking at DeMaya who was sitting there.

"Because Jaylin need to text me back. He ain't said shit about where Kassidy at. He keep taking about she good she with us. With who nigga?"

I frowned. "Who is she with?"

"Uh-" She said looking at her phone. "He has her on the block throwing dice with them."

I started laughing with Treasure.

"Mario do that dumb ass shit like why you can't just sit down somewhere with my baby?"

"Bitch because they don't wanna be missing shit. They just always wanna be outside and shit like sit the fuck down." Kianna said rolling her eyes.

"I'm glad I got me a new man so I don't have those problems." Treasure said. "My man is into IT and stuff like that. No more guns and drugs for me."

I clapped. "I love that for you."

"I do as well. Where you find that at? I need to get like you." Meena asked, DeMaya chuckled.

"Girl please. You ain't ever leaving Mario ass I don't even see why you said that." She said, Meena rolled her eyes and sipped her mimosa.

"I'll be leaving his ass soon." She revealed, my eyes widened as I looked at her. Everybody at the table couldn't believe what they were hearing considering you didn't know Meena without Mario and vice versa.

"Leaving him?" I questioned.

"Yeah," She said. "He's too soft and weak. I'm tired of running all over him."

"Maybe you should let him be the man and lead instead of trying to control him in every aspect. Give him some space and understand that everything doesn't have to connect to you." Treasure said. "Y'all relationship is toxic."

I nodded in agreement. Treasure's new relationship really showed her how a relationship should really be. She felt like her new man was motivational, understanding, and most of all very caring.

Well, that's what she told me.

"I know. That's why I'm tired of being with him. He's stressing me out with allat." She said waving her hand, I rolled my eyes. I don't think she's seeing it.

"Babe, we're saying that you're the problem. Maybe you're not understanding. You need to let him lead and actually listen to what he has to say." I explained to her as I looked at her.

"I try to let him lead but he just shows me over and over how dumb he is." She said, Kianna busted out laughing at her.

"Bitch don't say that."

"It's true." Meena said. "He makes me do everything and then gets mad that I'm always saying I wanna be by myself and I wanna leave him. He doesn't make me happy anymore like being parents and being together is boring,"

"How is it boring Meena?" DeMaya asked. "Because me and my man are having a fine time."

"How?" She asked. "I'm trying to make our relationship fun but we been together so long it's so boring now."

"That's because y'all live together and around each other all day. Y'all don't get out enough separately which has to change because y'all never gonna have nothing to talk about if y'all always together." I said.

"Right, y'all need some spice. Some stuff to talk about because it seems like you're bored with the relationship and not him." Kianna said.

"It seems like a mess but I digress." DeMaya said waving her hand, I laughed.

"Maybe we need to like..get away from each other or something." She said, I nodded.

"That's what we're telling you." I said. "Why are you having a hard time understanding what we are saying? Are you not listening?"

She nodded before chuckling. "I'm listening."

"Ok so do it."

If she loved Mario she would be trying to find ways to save her relationship with him. I don't see why she doesn't just listen. Why ask for help if you can't hear anything anybody is saying to you? That's a waste of time.

"What you wanna eat Nene?" Dejhari asked looking back at her as she sat in her car seat. I looked at her as she smiled and held her thumb in her mouth.

"Lamb chop." She said, I nodded my head.

"That sounds good to me." I said looking over at him, he busted out laughing before pulling off.

"Potaaaatoooosss" She dragged kicking her feet. 

"Lamb chops, mashed potatoes, and what else?" I asked looking at her. She was talking so well.

"And sparagus'."

He nodded his head with a wide smile. "You so smart," He said before looking back at her. "We can get that tonight."

"Okay." She said looking out the window. I watched as he stopped at the red light and looked over at me. He was driving his trackhawk today because his car was in the shop getting tinted and stuff like that.

"She just told us what she wanted for dinner." He said in complete shock, I nodded my head.

"She's growing up." I said.

He shook his head. "Why she had to say lamb chops though? Who even gave her that idea?"

I shrugged. Dejhari did always talk about eating lamb chops and how they made him feel like he was rich and stuff but that was all I could really think of.

"I don't know." I said. "You always talking about lamb chops. She probably heard you and just repeating what she's heard."

He nodded his head. "You cool with us getting lamb chops for dinner?" He questioned, I nodded.

"Yeah, I don't care." I said. "Why do you like them so much? I don't really mind them but I don't think they're all that."

"That's cause you ain't getting them from the good spots. I like when they like chicken wings so when I eat them it's easier. They make me feel high class." He joked, I laughed.

"Yeah right."

"How was the brunch with DeMaya and em?"

I shrugged. Meena was irritating me but I feel like that was always a thing. I don't think I like Meena very much which is sad to say considering I'm in love with her brother but she's so fucking annoying.

She's so nosey. She was always in my business. Always so aggressive. Always saying dumb ass shit it was just like- I don't know. I never noticed how much she pissed me off until I came back around I guess.

"It was ok." I said keeping it short. I didn't want to offend him about his sister because I figured he wouldn't like me talking trash about his sister.

"Was my sister there?" He asked, I nodded.

"Yup," I said. "She was there being herself."

He chuckled. "So she was annoying you?"

"Isn't she always?" I replied rolling my eyes. "I mean, I know she's your sister and everything but she's so fucking annoying. Always in my damn business just so she can run back and run her mouth to your mom."

"So stop telling her shit." He said. "I know she my sister and all but just because she my sister don't mean you have to be friends with her."

"I know." I said. "I just don't wanna be rude to her because regardless of if i'm friends with her i'm going to have to deal with her."

"I understand that." He said. "Just make sure you're letting her know how you feel. Don't hold your tongue because of my family connections. Sometimes Meena need to be put in her place."

I nodded my head.

"Ok." I replied. "But the brunch was ok overall. DeMaya got really drunk so we had to move the party back to her house."

"You had fun and stuff?" He asked, I shrugged.

"It was ok. I mean, Kianna was being weird about the parent topic but other than that everything was cool." I said, he cut his eyes at me but I decided not to speak on it. "How was your day?"

"It was cool." I replied cooly. "I mean, I got a lot of business coming into the shop so everything's going well business wise. Y'know Marcus is having a baby."

I chuckled. "Congratulations to him."

"Yeah, I guess." He said. "My mom isn't too happy about it. She tried to fight Maya and everything because them messages."

"What messages?" I asked.

"The ones Marcus showed her of her and Cruddy. Well of Maya texting Cruddy and shit. He was like he done with her but he still gonna be in the baby life and allat."

"So why did your mom try to fight her?" I questioned. It made no sense why Deniya grown self would try to fight Maya knowing she's pregnant. I don't like Maya but I wouldn't beat her and her baby up, that'll just be wrong.

"Y'know she don't like Maya already so she all like she think she doing some sneaky shit." He explained, I just shook my head.

"It's always something." I said with a small laugh.

"Nah forreal," he agreed. "Marcus just need to stop fucking with that bitch. Everything from that family just toxic."

"You're still friends with Gleesh though." I reminded him looking at him.

"Gleesh is my brother. He's not like them. He not even they sibling forreal. Maya and Dee both weird as fuck that's why I don't fuck with neither one of them." He expressed, I shrugged.

"Well you can only fuck with one of them because you killed the other one." I said truthfully.

"Exactly."

I shook my head and looked out the window. I didn't approve of the situation but what could I do? Dejhari was his own man so I can't say anything to him about his decisions. Especially when they're already said and done.

"Do you feel some type way about that?" He asked looking over at me as he drove.

I pushed my lips to the side. "I can't really exactly feel any kind of way about anything because it's already done. Yes, I wish you didn't do what you did but I know you were trying to protect me the only way you knew how."

He nodded. "I do want you to know that I'm not doing shit that can cause harm to us no more. I'm done with that shit. All that shit is behind me Muga, I promise."

"Ok." I said. "I believe you."

I just hoped that everything from his past was said and done. That I didn't have to deal with anymore hotels or security anymore. I just wanted things to go back to the way they used to be. That'll mean the world to me.
