"Cause it ain't ya business, fuck?" I rolled my eyes, putting down the knife I had in my hand, laying it beside the watermelon and honeydew I was chopping up on the cutting board.

"Ight calm down, I was juss asking cause I seen ole girl earlier bangin on ya door n screaming ya name."

"Mhm, yea I heard her.. I just turnt my tv up and smoked my shii." I shook my head, continuing to cut up the fruits.

My mind wandered off to how in distress Amari must be. I recently talked to my parents, my aunts, even my grandparents, and they all talked about how they had cut off Amari and told her that they'd no longer be watching the twins because of her recent immature behavior.

I feel for my big sister. I do. She's my big sister, my biggest role model, but I can't let her continuously disrespect and use me.

"You cold as hell, yknow that?" He joked.

"Nahh, she was just tripping fa nun." I shook my head, splitting open the second watermelon and honeydew, chopping them up.

"It sound like she struggling, why you ain helping her."

I huffed, letting my shoulders rise and fall before looking over to him, "What bs did my big sista tell you?"

"Nun really, but she pregnant n got twins, they ain even one yet, you bogus as hell fa not helping ha watch them."

"TREMANI SHUT THE FUCK UP YOUN KNOW SHIT ABOUT WHAT THE FUCK I GOT GOING ON?! YOU TALK TA HA FOR 5 MINUTES N THINK YOU KNOW EVERY FUCKING THING, GET THE FUCK OUT MA HOUSE!" I yelled, stabbing the knife into the wood cutting board, making it sit up straight.

"Yo Nae why you trippin, I just said-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! GET OUT TAURUS! GET THE FUCK OUT! GET OUT! IM TIRED OF EVERYONE TAKING HER SIDE, GET OUT GET OUT!" Tears poured down my face as I yelled, throwing any and everything I could at him.

Reneé started shaking, still yelling at Polo to leave her house. He realized he probably shouldn't leave her alone in this state.

Her yelling had calmed into short, breathy whispers.

"Get out.. leave me alone.." She whispered very quietly, sitting on the floor with her back against the warm dishwasher, which usually helped calm her during her attacks.

"I'm sorry, Reneé.. it's ok, shh shh.." He comforted her, standing on his knees, hugging her shaking body.

"Everyone always takes her side? 'Reneé, be like your big sister', 'Reneé if you covered your body more like Amari you wouldn't be so uncomfortable around men', 'Reneé he does love me, you're just being a bitch and jealous'. No! Reneé is just tryna help!" She cried, harder.

She looked up at the taller man that still had his arms around her, "Why does everyone hate me, Polo.. they keep saying I'm a bad aunt, and that I am neglecting the kids just as much as Amari n Von."

Polo shook his head, sitting on the floor next to her, grabbing her chin, turning her face towards him, "You're not a bad aunt, Reneé. I don't know your situation specifically but for weeks straight I seen and heard you takin' care of them babies. You even went out n bought em food n diapers. I'm not gonna lie, I did try ta holla at ya sista, I don't know how you gone feel about it but imma just be real."

He paused for a moment, staring at her face waiting for a reaction, she simply just nodded.

"But- Reneé, I've known you for a lil while and I have never seen you like this, ta be honest ion like it. You always strong n confident, bold, smart, sexy." He chuckled, making her giggle a little as well.

He felt better now that she'd stopped shaking and crying, he slowly stood up, helping her up as well, picking her up bridal style, taking her in her bedroom.

"Thank you.. so much, Taurus." Reneé smiled at the man standing across from her.

He had ran her a bath, putting some calming epsom salt in it so she could relax a little more and her limbs could regain their strength after all that shaking.

"It's no problem, Nae." He smiled, showing his straight, pearly white teeth.

"So.. are you thinking about actually talking to my sister?" She asked, wanting to revisit the topic from earlier.

"I guess you didn't take it that well, huh?" He sat at her feet, rubbing her sore thighs.

"No, I don't care, I'm just asking. I've known you longer than her, Taurus, and after today.. I think I have a little crush on you, like even now.. you're rubbing my thighs and I can't help but think about the fact that you also wanna talk to my sister." She whispered.

"I just got her instagram, that's all. I haven't even dmed her, but Reneé, if I'm being honest, I like you a lil too, I definitely think this experience made me like you more, seeing you so vulnerable-" He spoke, making Renee's eyes widen.

"You only want me cause I'm vulnerable..." She whispered, pulling the covers over her body, hiding from any other form of physical touch, "You just wanna use me, like everybody else. I'm don't letting people use me. Sexually, emotionally, mentally, everybody has fucked me over and fucked me up!" She shook her head.

"No, no, I didn't mean it like that, Nae." He took his shoes off, climbing up the bed to lay next to her, putting her head in his chest.

"I just mean that seeing how emotional you really are, truly made me appreciate you as a person and like you even more because I know you aren't just this steel fortress and force to be reckoned with. That you feel emotions like anyone else and you actually are way more sensitive than I am used to. It makes me respect you a lot more in a way, not that I didn't before.. it truly showed me how strong you are." He finished with a smile.

Reneé sat there wide-eyed, feeling star struck almost, the fact that a man, unlike the other ones that she knew.. was genuinely appreciating her, her body, her emotions, without abusing them.

"I love you, Taurus."
