“Is he the only one you fucked?” I asked.
“How we know you didn’t give it to me?” I chuckled.
“I’m about to hurt your feelings real quick and when I’m done, don’t say shit to me and find your way home.” I closed the door.
“What?”
“First of all, the one chick I did fuck without a condom, don’t have shit because I saw her paperwork; recent too. Second, I allowed her to get rid of my kid because I couldn’t hurt you like that even after knowing you fucked my boy.” Her eyes were damn near blinding her from the amount of tears falling.
“And third, we will never be together again and if that’s my kid, we’ll co-parent.”
“Colby please don’t do this.”
“I have never brought you back a disease Jacinta. NEVER!” I shouted making her jump. I’d never put my hands on her.
“I fucked up and I’ll never say I was the perfect boyfriend but one thing you can say is, no woman has ever told you if we messed around. No woman could ever tell you I said, I loved her and no woman will ever say, I mentioned leaving you because through all my shit, you remained the wife.”
“It doesn’t make it right.”
“Then you should’ve left me instead of staying around to keep the Banks title.” She stared at me.
“I know you loved the power my family’s name brought. You loved living in the lap of luxury and shitting on bitches with your expensive clothes, shoes, purses, vacations, cars and the house but guess what?” I walked over to her.
“All you did is prove you were only with me for the money. A real woman would’ve left me for good or made me fight to have her in my life. All you were worried about is materialistic shit and tryna hurt me.”
“I loved you Colby.” She cried out when I opened the door.
“You’re right. You loved me and now you don’t.” I left her sitting on the stretcher and walked out. I called up my cousin Haven, met him at the hotel and took the elevator to the basement.
“I’m sorry bro. She pursued me.” Will shouted as I put my black gloves on.
“She has a different story.”
“Colby come on. You know my family and...”
“And you knew my girl. You never bite the hand that feeds you.” I took the chainsaw outta Jax’s hand and went to work. I loved cutting people up. Something about hearing the bones crack and the screams made my adrenaline pump.
“You good?” Haven asked after I finished.
“Never been better. Let’s go for a drink.” He nodded to the cleanup crew and me and my Banks family bounced to Haven’s club. What a damn day.
VJ
“Happy Birthday baby.” Monie led me outside in a blindfold to get my gift.
“The freaky ass birthday sex was enough Monie.”
“Nope. I got you this too.” She told me to hold Legend while she took the blindfold off.
“NO SHIT!” I shouted when I stared at the navy blue and black 2019 BMW i8. It was top of the line and this specific model only had three other ones in the whole world.
“It’s yours.” I handed Legend back to her and ran over to the car like a kid. She said she had to record it for Brayden because he said I’d act like a kid when I saw it. He wasn’t lying. This shit is fire.
“Da Da.” Both of us looked at Legend when he said his first words. He just turned six months and Monie tried like hell to get him to say ma ma first.
“That’s right man. Come here.” He reached out for me and I sat him on my lap. Monie went on the passenger side and I wouldn’t unlock the door.
“Tell mommy this is our chick magnet car.”
“Tell daddy, mommy will fuck him up if a bitch even gets close to this car.” I busted out laughing and unlocked it.
“You good?” I asked when she sat. She’s four months pregnant and I’m worried about her dilating early again.
“I’m fine babe. This car is too damn low.” I leaned over and kissed her.
“Thank you Monie.”
“I have another surprise for you later.”
“I don’t want anymore.” Me and Legend were looking in the car. He was playing with the steering wheel, while I looked at the gadgets.
“Too bad. Come on because your mom wants you over for a birthday lunch.”
“She knows I’m grown right?”
“You’re her first born VJ. Give her a break.” I laughed.
“I love you more than I can ever say or show you Armonie Davis.”
“And I love you the same Vernon Davis Junior and don’t you ever forget it.” We kissed again and this time much longer. Had Legend not blew the horn we would’ve still been out there.
“Legend you can’t be drawing attention. The ladies will come to you.” I lifted him in the air a few times. My son was hysterical laughing.
I stepped in the shower and as bad as I wanted her to join me, she had to get Legend ready. Once I finished, I took over and watched him until she was done.
We drove to my parents’ house and stayed there all day. My siblings stopped by and so did my aunts, uncles and cousins who came to town for my surprise.
********************
“Where we going Monie?” I asked because she had me wear this blue Tom Ford suit, which means the place must be expensive. She wore a dark blue strapless dress to match, with a pair of Jimmy Choo heels. We both rocked our diamonds and stepped out.
“This drives nice babe.” We were in my car and of course I had to test out the speed limit. She hated it already because she was pregnant and felt huge tryna get in and out.
“What’s this?” I pointed to the building that looked deserted from the outside.
“Just come on.” She said and I parked in the front and helped her out. She unlocked the door with the key and stepped in.
“It’s dark as fuck in here. Where the lights at?” I said and tried to find the switch.
“Right here.” I shut them on.
“SURPRISE!” Everyone shouted and he turned to me.
“You did all this?” I pointed to the decorations, water statues, the cages on pedestals, food, the DJ, the made up dance floor and a stage.
“I did.” I placed my hands on her face and kissed her deep and passionate. I appreciated the fuck outta my wife for doing all this.
“My pussy wet VJ.” I started laughing and took her hand in mine. Everyone started saying happy birthday and some even handed me cards. After a half hour, the DJ had everyone sit to eat and shortly after, the real party started.
“Oh shit.” I shouted. The cages lit up and half naked women appeared in each one.
“You like so far?”
“I do but why aren’t you stripping for me?”
“Don’t you worry. I got something special for you.” She pecked my lips and left me sitting with Brayden and the other guys.
“Can we get the birthday guy to the center of the floor?” I stood and walked over to the chair some chick put out. The crowd dispersed to the sides and I saw men helping the women out the cages. What the hell did Armonie set up?
“Ok Mr. Davis. Your wife said to enjoy this but no touching.” The DJ spoke on the mic and everyone started laughing with me. I sat in the chair with my arm hanging on the back.
Please me baby, turn around and just tease me baby, you know what I want and what I need baby...
The new song by Cardi B and Bruno Mars played in the background as the women from the cages and a few more came out and started dancing in front of me. All the men crowded around to watch but who I wanted to see hadn’t shown her face yet. Yea these women were beautiful and had banging bodies, but no one could top my wife.
The music played a little longer and then cut off. The women made a wall with their bodies and the lights went out as the next song played. The women slowly moved out the way as the intro started.
What y’all know about a, supermodel, fresh outta Elle magazine, buy her own bottles, look pimp juice I need me one, bad than a mutha. I need a bad gi
rl.
Ushers song Bad Girl played and out walked my wife in an all-black cat suit and some heels. I’m making her leave them on when we get home.
The zipper was down in the front and even with her stomach poking out she was the baddest one in here. She turned around, dropped it low and once she started twerking, I had to grab my dick to calm it down. She knew my ass was ready to fuck because she smirked looking over her shoulder.
By the time the song was over, she was on my lap facing me. My hands were all over her. I’ve never in my life had a woman strip for me the way she did. Yea I’ve seen strippers and of course they want the money but for my wife to put on a show for me, had me at a loss for words.
“Happy Birthday.”
“It sure is.” Her arms draped my neck as we began kissing like no one else was in the room.
“I love you baby.” She whispered in my ear and rested her head on my shoulder.
“Ok bitchhh. You did your thing for him.” Ariel tapped her on the shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” I noticed how slow she moved to lift her head.
“Nothing. The dance tired me out. Can you get me a water?” She asked Ariel and I stood with her still attached and went to the table.
“You wanna go home?” I asked.
“No baby. I’m ok.” She smiled and drank the water Ariel brought over.
“Bitch, I’m fucking copying. I don’t care. When you see me do it for Antoine, don’t talk shit.” Vanity said to Monie.
“As long as you use different songs.” Monie joked and rested her head against the seat.
“I told him it was ok. Please don’t be mad.” My wife grabbed my hand and asked me to sit next to her.
“Mad about what?”
“I invited him to your party. I’m sorry.” She started tearing up like the cry baby she is when she’s pregnant.
“Come here Ariel.” We all turned around when Haven got on the microphone. Armonie squeezed my hand.
“Monie, I am aggravated about that because you know we don’t fuck with each other but if he about to do what I think he is, then I guess it’s ok.”
“I love you so much baby and I promise not to do anything without telling you again.”
“You gonna strip for me at home?” I let my finger dip in her cleavage.
“Whatever you want baby.” She sat on my lap as we watched Ariel walk over to Haven.
Haven
“Come here Ariel.” I spoke into the microphone on the stage. She turned around and I smiled at how big her stomach was. Seeing her with my child inside only made what I’m about to do worth it.
“Haven what are you doing up there?” She asked still walking towards me. The room seemed very quiet and all eyes were on me. At the moment, I was at a loss for words, but she knew what it was because those tears falling down her face as I got down on one knee, were all I needed to see.
“Oh shit.” I heard Brayden say and people started crowding around.
“I don’t know what to say so I’m just gonna give you this ring and you can make up any speech you want in your head.” I opened the box, and everyone gasped.
“Once you got down on your knee, I didn’t need a speech. I know who you are baby, and I accept this as your proposal. I love you so much and yes I’ll marry you.” She took a seat on the stage and I slid the ring on her finger. Everyone clapped and Ariel leaned in for a kiss. I looked up and VJ nodded in my direction. Maybe it’s his way of congratulating me.
When I mentioned proposing to Ariel at my grams house, Monie told me to do it here because all the family would be in attendance. I didn’t want to but she whined like a baby and grams said it’s a good idea. Of course, I had an issue because me and dude don’t speak and it’s his party. I’m not sure I’d be ok with it. I saw his facial expression when I called Ariel on stage, but I know he won’t cause a scene either.
“You say enough at home Haven. I know this pussy got you stuck.” She whispered in my ear making me laugh.
“Very stuck.” I honestly told her.
Ariel and I were frenemies first and knew a lot about one another. Our families were cool and even though Juicy is the one I assumed I’d marry; Ariel is the one who locked me down. She had my heart even after I said love didn’t live here anymore.
“Congratulations. Yayyy. I’m so happy for you.” Monie said after people came over to congratulate us.
“You ok?” I asked because she liked fatigue.
“I’m fine. The dance took a lot outta me.”
“I’ll be back. You going to sit with your mom right?” VJ asked.
“Yea.” He kissed her cheek and walked out the side door.
“Sit.” I traded spots with her and went to smoke myself.
“Haven no shit.”
“Bye Ariel.” I saw Colby Jr and Jax coming towards me.
“Everybody getting married out this bitch.” VJ said to Brayden who proposed to his chick last night. They’ve been through hell and high water too.
“Antoine you next?” VJ told him
“Ring already being made. Ain’t no other man touching her. That’s me all day.” He was proud of his woman. Vanity was definitely a beautiful woman and he’d be a fool not to lock her down.
“Don’t forget our meeting Haven.” Marco Jr said patting me on the shoulder. He wants me to do some reaper shit for him.
“You got it.” All of us stood out there smoking and shit was cool until Ariel stepped out bugging.
“Haven why this bitch on my Instagram saying y’all fucked?”
“Huh?”
“Ugh oh.” Colby Jr. joked.
“I posted my ring and she said...” I snatched the phone out her hand and noticed it was Marlena. I walked away holding Ariel hand and called the bitch on my phone.
“I knew she’d tell you and I’d hear from you.” Is what Marlena said when she answered.
“Why you lying to my fiancé?”
“I miss you Haven.” I didn’t even have the energy to argue right now with her.
“Bet. I’ll be by to see you later. I’ma take you to a hotel.”
“Are you speaking in front of your girl?” She asked and Ariel smiled. She knew what the hotel was about.
“Nah, she walked away. I’ll call when I’m on my way.” I hung up.
“I love you Haven.” Ariel kissed me and went back in. This chick had my head gone. Oh well, she’s what I need to calm down.
I finished smoking, stayed a little longer and went to handle Marlena. Oh she was ecstatic to see me, but she wasn’t so happy when we made it to the basement.
**************************
“Yo! Where your husband at?” I asked Monie when she opened the door.
“In the back. What’s wrong?” She closed the door behind me.
“Nothing. Where’s the back?” I had no clue where anything was because it’s my first time here. When he moved her in with him, I never got an invite.
“I know you better not be here to fight because...”
“Monie I’d never do that again in front of you. I apologized already. You want me to say it again?”
“Monie, what’s taking so long?” VJ walked in wearing basketball shorts and T-shirt. Their son was on his shoulders.
“Haven stopped by to see you.”
“Where you wanna meet because we not fighting in front of my family again?” I chuckled; yet, understood why he felt that way.
“Take Legend upstairs Monie.” He removed him off his shoulders.
“What’s going on?” Vanity, Ariel and grams came inside.
“Ariel what you doing here? You supposed to be at the store.”
“Hey babe. I stopped by after work to show my wedding dress to Monie. Vanity and grams were here already. What you doing here?” She stood in front of me and folded her arms.
“Let me put some clothes on.” VJ said.
“Nah. I’m not here for that.” He stopped and stared along with all of them.
“I ju
st stopped through to say Latifa, her mother, father and aunt are no longer here.”
“Where you’d find her?” VJ asked.
“She brought her dirty ass in the club last night and I had Jerome follow her. Evidently, she’s been staying a few towns over; which is why no one could find her. The mom was still with the sister, but the dad stayed with her. In any case, they’re gone, and I had Brayden send the photos to your phone.” He felt his waist and realized it wasn’t on him.
“Did you torture her?” Monie asked and I laughed.
“No. Jax did.”
“Jax?”
“Yea. Him and Valley seemed to be close now so he asked if they could do it.”
“My brother Valley?” VJ asked and handed Monie the phone. Her, Vanity, grams and Ariel looked at the photos. He only sent the ones of them tied up in the torture room. They didn’t need to see the aftermath.
“Let me talk to you real quick.” I went to the front door and stepped on the porch.
“Monie is my favorite cousin and even though no man is good enough for the women in my family, she’s special and I think you know why.” He folded his arms.
“Actually, I don’t.”
“She’s always been self-conscious about her legs; which is why she didn’t date until that fuck nigga. She doesn’t know we found out he used to tease her about it, but we did. We weren’t sure if you’d do the same once you found out.” He turned his face up and I shrugged my shoulders.
“Exactly. Ariel finally told me the story of what happened at the party and how Latifa shouted it out. The longer you stayed with her, the way you had her back even with me only proved you were the best man for her. Most men would’ve left her alone by now.” I lit my blunt.
“Freddy stayed.” He said and I looked at him.
“After the first few months, he stopped coming around. We didn’t know she broke up with him due to cheating but when she took him back, he still stayed away from us.”
“None of y’all knew he was beating her?” He questioned.
