“ L et me the fuck up outta this bitch. Y’all done had a nigga in this bitch for months now,” I snatched up my shit. “All my goddamn money better be in here too.”

Before walking completely out, I made eye contact with the guard I’d been doing business with for the last few months.

He was about to quit at the end of the month because his ass was making so much money with me.

It was going to be sad for the niggas behind the walls but it was good for him because he was finally able to afford his mama’s medicine and to take care of his kids.

That’s why a lot of us muthafuckas jump headfirst in the streets anyway, we had to become the providers for our family.

Lucky was waiting on me as soon as I walked out. My brother was not big on stuntin’ but today he brought out a Bentley truck that would make your mouth water. He leaned up against the truck smiling from ear to ear as I approached.

“My nigga didn’t I tell you I got you? Now let’s get your ass home to your family,” he dapped me up.

“When the fuck you got this?”

“I bought it for you. Was gon’ give this bitch to Blessyn for a gift but her ass been acting shady as fuck so I said fuck it, give it to Perc.”

“Nigga you know this ain’t even my swag though. This bitch hot now. Gon’ and give it to sis.”

“Nah, if you don’t want it, I’ll go park this bitch or trade it in for what you want. Blessyn don’t deserve shit right now.”

“I’m so ready to see my baby. I know her ass big and talking shit.”

“Merci got her right now but we about to head to they mama house. She got you a nice ass meal and shit ready then you can see your daughter and Merci there.”

“Damn I finally get to meet my nephew for the first time. All I ask when we get in here is not to argue with Blessyn. I need my damn job back at the barbershop.”

“You the one need to tell her that. I ain’t arguing with nobody.”

Merci was standing on the porch with my daughter when we pulled up.

I don’t care how much I ran the damn streets when I lay eyes on my daughter, the shit melted my heart.

She was dressed in a cute pink dress with a head full of ponytails.

I noticed two big diamond earrings in her ear.

Her mama would never get her ears pierced but I guess Merci went ahead and did.

It felt good to know that I could trust my daughter around Merci even in my absence.

As soon as my daughter noticed me, she took off running towards me.

“Wassup daddy’s baby? I missed you so much,” I kissed her all over her face while making eye contact with Merci. She just didn’t know it but I planned to stick dick in her all night until we both couldn’t move. “Wassup with you?” I addressed Merci.

“Nothing. Good to see you home with your daughter.”

“And you.”

“We’ll discuss that later. Let’s enjoy this time.”

“Mmmhhmmm,” Lucky walked by nudging my shoulder.

I was holding my daughter on one side and my fat ass nephew on the other while Merci and Blessyn help get the table set up.

One thing that stood out to me was the how distant Blessyn was from everyone.

She was happy to see me but she wasn’t acting right which let me know some shit was off with her.

Before her and Lucky started fucking around, we were cool as fuck.

We always got along. I wasn’t feeling how she was acting but I planned on waiting until after we ate to talk to her.

“Welcome home Perce,” Merci’s mama said after saying the grace. “Y’all eat all this food because it’s only me in the house and I don’t want to put all this food up.”

“Merci what you plan on doing after this?” I asked.

“I’m heading out of town for a few days. I’ll be back on Wednesday.”

“Oh yeah? With who?”

Blessyn choked causing Lucky to slap her in the back real hard. Merci gave her sister a crazy ass look before focusing back on her food. Either she didn’t hear me or she was ignoring my question.

“You heard me?” I asked.

“What you say?” She looked at me dumbfounded.

“Who you going with?”

“A friend.”

“Not today y’all. Can we enjoy family time please?

All I have is y’all and every time I turn around all y’all doing is arguing.

Its children involved now and they don’t need that or you’ll be raising another generation of messed up children.

For the sake of the kids can we just eat and have normal conversation. Save that for later.”

“Bruh, I got us a few sections closed off at the club and I just wanna chill with you tonight. Let’s blow some smoke in the air, drink and throw some money,” Lucky told me.

“I’ll watch the kids, why don’t all of y’all go out?” Blessyn mama said.

“My flight leaves at six in the morning, I’ll pass,” Merci said without making eye contact.

“Nah, it won’t hurt. Let’s go out and have some fun. We don’t have to go with them,” Blessyn said.

Lucky rubbed the hairs on his chin. He did that when he was jealous. He loved Blessyn a lot, he never acted like this with anyone and he had several bitches before he got with Blessyn.

“Let’s turn the city of then nigga.”

“Who is it, Merci?” I followed her around her condo as she got dressed.

I didn’t have any business over here knowing she was going to piss me off but the fact she was leaving to go somewhere with another nigga did something to me.

“He’s a friend that’s it. We both don’t want to be in a relationship but we enjoy each other’s company.”

She had showered and was trying to slip on some shit so she could dressed at Blessyn’s house but she wasn’t going to make it on time.

“Why you can’t be with me? I killed that bitch for us. For our daughter.”

“No, you killed that hoe because you felt guilty. It had nothing to do with me. I don’t want to talk about my baby.”

“Why do you avoid talking about her like she never existed? She was here in the flesh. That’s some shit we can’t change but you going on with your fucking life like my baby wasn’t here. All this hot girl shit you on need to come to an end. You’re a mother now.”

“Who fucking mama?” She stopped in her tracks to look at me.

“My daughter.”

“News flash, that is not my daughter and she never will be. I love the hell out of her but she will never replace Heaven no matter how much you try to put her in that place.”

“What? That is not what I’m doing.” I reached out and grabbed her. “Nobody will replace our daughter and that ain’t what I’m trying to do but my daughter loves you and she needs you. I understand how you get your money. If I’m willing to give up shit to be with you, you gotta do the same shit.”

“I asked you to give up the streets for us but we both know you’re not going to do that. It’s all you know.”

“I’ll do whatever I gotta do to be with you.” I kissed her neck. “Shit, I’ll do whatever you want me to do just to be with you.” I slipped my hand in her panties and spread her pussy lips with my fingers. “I need you to call that nigga and tell him you won’t make it.”

“Perc,” she whined.

“Do it or I’mma stop and we both know you don’t want me to.”

“Okay…okay but please don’t stop.”

The little panties she had on got ripped off and threw across the room as I scooped her ass up and flipped her over so I could eat her pussy from the back.

For months I was ready to get home to her just to do this.

There was nothing in the world that was going to keep me from being with Merci.

If anybody got in my way, I wasn’t responsible for what I might do.
