Page 48 of Ony If It’s You

“Fuck is going on here?” JV’s handsome face twisted into scowl as soon as he appeared, holding a food container in his hand. I felt bad for being elated about him having food because I knew now wasn’t the time, but I could already taste the lemon pepper wings that I knew he had. “Kehlani.”

“Oh, hey baby.” I was nervous as hell as I walked over and lifted my body onto my tippy toes to kiss his lips. He was eyeing me with a frown but reciprocated the kiss and handed me the box.

“I been calling and texting your fucking phone. I figured you may have been asleep since you weren’t answering me but you in here running your mouth.”

“I’m sorry babe, my phone is in the room. Is this mine?” I pointed to the food.

“Naw, but you can have it, here.” I took the food and headed back to the kitchen with him in tow. “You can let yourself out.”

“Javyous.” I turned to face him. “Stop it.”

“Stop what? I didn’t invite her ass here and you shouldn’t have let her ass in.”

“Why would I leave your mother on the porch at eleven at night, Javyous.”

“Mothafucka ain’t my mama,” he mumbled.

“JV, I’m not playing with you.” I frowned. I understood that he was mad, but I wasn’t going to let him be disrespectful.

Sighing, he took a seat on the barstool then pulled me between his legs as I ate the wings before addressing Ms. Phyllis again. “What is it?”

“I’ve been calling you, baby.”

“I’ve been seeing the calls.” He shrugged as his hands gently circled my belly and I elbowed him. “What? Aight.” He laughed when I pinched his side.

“I just want to talk to you.”

“Talk then.” He pointed to the stool on the other side of the bar and tightened his hold on me when I tried to move. I wanted to give them privacy, but he wasn’t having it so I made myself comfortable again as I continued my assault on the wings.

“Baby, I wanted to tell you, I swear I did…”

“Then why didn’t you?” JV asked, cutting her off.

“Your father, Jerry, he is an evil man.” Her head dropped and I saw a few tears hit her hand. What the hell did the man do to her? “If I had told you that I was your mother he would have taken you away from me forever and even turned me into the police. I couldn’t be away from you.”

“The police? Turn you into the police for what?” JV asked and frowned.

“When we were younger, I dated Presley…”

“Say what!”

I was floored. I think both of our jaws were on the floor at the revelation. I would have never guessed that she had been with his uncle too.

She nodded. “I dated Pres first. I went to a party one night where there was a girl that told me she had been dating Pres for the past six months. She had pictures of them together and all. I was so angry. I didn’t want to believe her because the two of us really were in love.

We were young, but what we felt for one another was real, you know?

But she had the receipts, so how could I not believe her?

Anyways, I tried to leave peacefully but she, along with Jerry, followed me out and kept antagonizing me to a point that I could no longer take it. ”

She paused and wiped the tears that were flowing down her face.

I could feel the tension in JV’s body as we listened to her speak.

I knew he was conflicted. He was naturally caring and compassionate, so I knew that he wanted to console her.

It was really crazy to me how much I knew him and we hadn’t even been together for a full year yet.

That was just how I knew that he was my person.

“So what happened after that?” Javyous asked after clearing his throat.

“Well.” She shifted uncomfortably. “I—we fought. I couldn’t take it. She just kept going and going until I finally snapped and I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. I just kept beating and beating her until she was… oh my God.”

I rushed over to her and pulled her into a hug as she sobbed uncontrollably.

She didn’t say the end result, but she didn’t have to.

Javyous and I both knew what she was saying.

I would have done the same about my man.

I loved him that much that I would potentially kill him or someone else if they did that to me.

Javyous was frozen in place as he looked at nothing in particular. I felt like he needed a hug too, so I went over to do just that once his mother calmed down.

“Are you good to finish the story?” he asked.

“Yes,” she answered, barely above a whisper. “A-after that, Jerry, he helped me get rid of the body.”

“You killed the bitch?” JV asked.

“Yeah, but I didn’t mean to. Sh-she was?—”

“It don’t even matter, I’m not judging you for that,” he said after cutting her off. “Keep going though.”

“Right. After that I was a mess. Jerry took me back to his place and gave me a drink to help me relax. I didn’t remember much of what happened after that.

All I knew was that I woke up in his bed with Pres standing over me.

A few months later I found out I was pregnant with you and the torment on my life from Jerry began.

I did all that I thought I could to still be a part of your life, Javyous, I swear, and I’m sorry that it took me so long to come clean to you. ”

She and I were both crying while he sat there stoically. His father really was a sick ass monster and I truly prayed that karma ate his ass alive.

I was totally worked up after hearing the story and seeing his mother so emotional but was able to calm down after feeling JV’s hands on my belly once again and his lips on my neck.

“That’s enough for tonight,” he said as he stood with his arms still around me.

I closed the food container since I had eaten all of the wings and wiggled from his hold to throw it out and wash my hands. When I was done, he took my hand and pulled me toward the steps and motioned for me to walk ahead of him.

“You may as well stay the night too, it’s late,” he said to his mother, making me smile on the low. “Jocey’s room is the best option because Si’s shit is a mess.”

She gave him a warm smile and nodded before coming toward the steps.

Her foot was barely on the first one when he caught her and pulled her into a tight hug.

She was tense at first, but quickly relaxed in his arms. Warm tears rushed down my face as I looked on.

This baby had my emotions going haywire.

Once he released her, she gave me a quick hug, whispered thank you in my ear and headed up the steps into Jocey’s room. The two of us stayed planted until we heard the room door close. After, we locked eyes as he leaned into the wall behind him with a lazy smile on his handsome face.

“Come here.” I took the hand that he’d extended as he tugged me into his body. “You a fucking crybaby.”

A soft kiss landed on my lips before I replied, “That whole thing was emotional. You were about to cry too.”

“Fuck outta here.” He laughed and started to usher us up the steps.

“I saw you, baby. I felt for you.”

“You feel this?” He thrust his hips forward so I could feel his hard dick on my ass as we entered our room.

“Javyous, how are you even turned on right now?” I laughed as he walked us toward the bed.

“Shiddd, have you not looked in the mirror?”

“Yeah.” I grinned, circling my arms around his neck as he started to rain kisses across my collarbone, neck, face, and lips.

“Aight then, take this off,” he said, referencing to my robe.

“Baby, wait you don’t want to talk?” I asked as I disrobed.

“Yeah, but right now I want to talk to this pussy.”

“You sure?”

He was now eye level with my center and the moment I felt his tongue swipe across it, I pushed all other thoughts to the back of my head and prepared for the ride he was about to take my body on.

Yeah that shit could wait until tomorrow.
