PPP Box Set

by Charmanie Saquea

  When Mykell got to Ramone’s house, he noticed that the driveway was full so he parked on the street. He walked in the house and it was full of cheer. Everybody was happy and smiling. He said his hello’s and went to the kitchen and had to do a double take when he seen Lani and Neicey standing over the stove cooking. She was smiling and showing those dimples he missed.

  He walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her and she melted in his arms. She turned around and kissed him passionately. Mykell looked deep into her eyes and at that moment he knew he couldn't live without her. He was ready to stop playing games and settle down. Before the thought of him only being with one woman scared him but he was ready; ready to do right by his lady. He had to get to the bottom of the situation with Kya because he refused to lose the love of his life.

  Chapter 10

  Reneice was slowly but surely getting her life back on track. She would have nightmares frequently and wake up in cold sweats, but Mykell would be right there to comfort her. It was still hard for Mykell to make love to her without the harsh memories coming back but she refused to let them control her life anymore. She wanted to get back to work but decided to need more than a physical break; she also needed a mental one.

  Everything was going right for about a month, then the bullshit started. Mykell’s phone would ring all day and night long. Even though he no longer pulled his disappearing acts, she still had a gut feeling that he was hiding something from her. She wanted to trust him but her woman's intuition was getting the best of her.

  Mykell and Micah was out handling business, Lani and Ramone were with their flavors of the month and MJ was spending time with Pop-Pop. Reneice was lonely and bored. It seemed like ever since she was raped she hated being alone. She didn’t want to slip back into depression so she called the only other person she could think of, Kamil. She called and told him to meet her somewhere. They met at Metro Beach, and walked along the beach and just talked.

  “You know I wanted to see you so bad, but I didn’t want to raise any suspicions or cause any problems with your finacé.” Kamil stated.

  “I appreciate it and I appreciate the respect but as of now he’s been demoted back to boyfriend. No more fiancé,”

  Kamil was fighting hard to hold back the smile that was threatening to break loose. “Oh yea? How does he feel about that?”

  She shrugged, “He’s not happy with it, in fact we got into a big argument because I told him I didn’t want to put the ring back on. He got made saying that he felt like I was playing him and he said I was taking this as a joke. I guess I still kind of blame him for what happened even though it’s wrong.” She said looking out at the water.

  “I understand, but do you think this is something that you guys can work out?” He asked hoping she would say no.

  It took her awhile to answer. Is this something we can work out? She wondered. “I don’t know, it seems like every time we're doing good, something comes and knocks us off our square. It just seems like this relationship isn’t worth fighting over any more because I feel like the only one fighting.” Her eyes started watering, which didn’t go unnoticed by Kamil.

  “Aight knucklehead, let’s go get something to eat.” He knew food would cheer her up.

  “Alright Boss Man,”

  It felt so good to have Reneice back. He missed her and the time they spent. She was more than just a friend to him; he was falling hard for her. He was forgetting about everything he was supposed to be doing because his every thought was her. He didn’t give a damn about her man and he was ecstatic to find out she called the engagement off. It wasn’t in his original plan to fall for her but shit happens.

  Kamil took her to the Hard Rock Cafe since she said she had never been. They laughed and joked with each other the whole time. Kamil was happy that she was smiling again, he loved her deep dimples. When they were leaving, Neicey bumped into the last person she wanted to see, Kya.

  “Hey cousin, long time no see.” Kya smirked at Kamil and looked Reneice up and down.

  “Wassup.” He said nonchalantly.

  “Well, well. loo--” she didn’t get a chance to finish before Kamil cut her off.

  “Later for that bullshit Kya. Don’t open yo mouth if you gon say something stupid. I don’t know why you keep messing with her after she whooped that ass the last time.”

  Kya just mugged him, she didn’t have time to respond before Reneice did.

  “She messes with me because she likes the taste of my pussy just as much as Mykell. Sorry mami. I don’t do bitches, especially busted ones.”

  “Like the taste of ya pussy? Bitch please! Never!” She was pissed because she couldn’t get Mykell to go down on her for nothing and here Neicey was talking about him eating her out.

  “I can’t tell, every time you kiss that nigga you eating my pussy, every time you suck that nigga dick, you eating my pussy,” she stepped closer to Kya’s face. “Please believe it boo. I’m ready Kamil.” She blew Kya a kiss and walked away.

  Kya was feeling stupid. She did the only thing she could think of, send Mykell a text and let him know his girl wasn’t so perfect. She smiled as she took her phone out her purse.

  Kya: Since you wanna ignore me and act like I mean nothing to you, I thought you should know that ya girl ain’t shit. I just seen her out to eat with another nigga. Smiling all in his face and hugged up like they were couple of the year.

  She knew she was fabricating the story a little but she didn’t care, she wanted Mykell to leave Neicey and stop playing and come home to her.

  Once Neicey and Kamil reached his car she stopped, put her hands on his hips, and looked at him sideways.

  “So all this time I’ve been pouring out my heart to you; constantly crying, telling you about the bitch that’s been wreaking havoc on my relationship and all this time she was your cousin? You knew and never said a word? Have you been going back to her and running yo mouth?”

  Kamil was shocked that she would even have the audacity to ask him something like that.

  “What the fuck I look like going back and telling her shit like I’m a bitch or something? I ain’t talked to that girl in months! Fuck her!”

  She just stood there and stared at him. He had never talked to her like that; he had never so much as raised his voice at her. It kind of turned her on but she wasn’t going to tell him that. She just smiled, “Take me to my car Kamil.”

  Once Reneice got in the car, she called Pop-Pop to let him know that she was on her way to pick up MJ. The rest of the ride was silent; they were both consumed by their own thoughts. He took her back to her car and he tried to say something to her but she jumped out the car and slammed the door. Reneice wasn’t trying to hear anything he had to say, she didn’t know how she felt about him being related to the enemy.

  *****

  Reneice and MJ were on their way home when her phone started ringing. She felt around in her purse for it while keeping her eyes on the road. She took it out her purse but dropped it, so she pulled over and bent down to get it when she was rear ended! She hit her head hard on the steering wheel hard and it caused her to be dazed. She was fighting to stay conscious and she could barely see. All she could hear was MJ screaming as everything faded to black.

  After what seemed like forever, Reneice finally started to come to. She had an excruciating headache. Things got even worse as Reneice looked in the back seat and started panicking; MJ was gone!

  “Oh my god! My baby! They took my son!” She screamed.

  A bystander called the police while Reneice called Mykell.

  *****

  Mykell was still conflicted about the text message that he had received from Kya. Deep down he was wondering if it was true, until he and Micah got to the house and Niecey wasn’t there. To say he was pissed was an understatement. His phone started ringing, it was Neicey. He wasn’t going to answer but he thought better of it. Before he could even say hello he heard screaming.

  “Mykell they got him, they took hi
m. He’s gone!”

  “Calm down Neicey, what are you talking about?” He asked enthusiastically thinking she was talking about the nigga she was with.

  “MJ! They got MJ!” She said crying.

  Mykell jumped up at the mention of his son’s name. “What the fuck you mean they got MJ? Who the fuck is they?” He yelled into the phone.

  Hearing that Micah made sure his gun was loaded and ready. He may have been the quiet and calmer one of the two but when you messed with his family, all that went out the window. They had been out all day trying to get some info on who raped Neicey, and now someone had taken his nephew? Whoever it was had fucked up royally and the streets of Detroit were about to bleed.

  “Where are you?” he heard Mykell yell into the phone.

  When they got to the scene it was filled with police and an ambulance. The back of Reneice’s Benz was smashed and the back door, where he assumed MJ was sitting was opened. He looked around for Reneice and spotted her sitting in the back of the ambulance getting checked out. A police officer tried to stop them, but Micah told him they are related to the victims.

  Mykell was full of mixed emotions, he couldn’t for the life of him think of who would want his son.

  “Is it the same people that raped Neicey?” He thought.

  His thoughts were broken by the sound of Micah’s voice. “Neicey what happened?”

  “Me and MJ were on the way home and my phone started ringing, so I tried to answer it. It fell to the floor and I pulled over to grab it when somebody came and hit me from behind hard. I hit my head and was losing consciousness, all I heard was MJ screaming. I thought he was screaming because we got hit. Then everything went black, when I came to I looked in the back to make sure he was okay when I seen he was gone. That’s when I panicked and called Mykell.” She said in one breath.

  “Aight calm down, we gon get him back.”

  Mykell just remained silent.

  Neicey’s car was towed away so she rode back home with Micah and Mykell. Once they got back to the house, all hell broke loose.

  “Who told you to go get my son from his grandpa’s house?” Mykell asked harshly.

  “Your son? Well I went to go get your son because I didn’t to be home by myself and I decided to give Pop-Pop a break since he always has your son,” she replied not hiding her attitude.

  “Yo you wasn’t worried about being home alone when you was out being a hoe! So why worry about it now?”

  “A hoe huh? Well If yo black ass was home more I wouldn’t have to find another nigga to spend my time with! At least he has time for a hoe like me.”

  Reneice’s anger got the best of her and she gave Mykell a right hook to the jaw. By reflex, he slapped her back before he could stop himself. She touched her lip and saw the blood, and looked at Mykell with a look he had never seen before. Reneice actually looked possessed! Before the situation could get any more out of hand, Micah jumped up and grabbed Neicey because he knew how she could be, and he knew how his brother could be also.

  “Let me go Mack! Fuck him, he wanna put his hands on me? I’ma fuck him up.”

  “Calm down baby girl, just chill out.” He said, struggling to hold her.

  “I’m cool, just let me go pack my bags so I can get the fuck out his house before I kill this bitch.”

  Micah didn’t trust that she wouldn’t try to run up on Mykell again, so he walked her upstairs so she could pack. Mykell sat there stuck, he couldn’t believe he had just put his hands on Neicey. He was never the type to hit women. He might have choked Kya a couple of times but Reneice was different. He knew he had fucked up.

  20 minutes later, Reneice and Micah came down the stairs with bags. She wouldn’t even look Mykell’s way. Micah told him that he was taking her to Ramone’s house and that they should just stay away from each other for a while. Mykell didn’t respond, he just shook his head.

  Once Neicey got to Ramone’s house, she broke down. Micah informed him about the little incident that had and told him about MJ being kidnapped. He was never one to get into his sister’s business but he didn’t condone Mykell hitting her no more than he did her hitting him. He always told her to learn how to handle her temper but she never listened.

  Chapter 11

  It has been months since Neicey last talked to Mykell or Kamil and she honestly didn’t have shit to say to either one of them. They both hurt her in some type of way. The fact that Kamil would keep the fact that he was Kya’s cousin was just crazy to her. But the fact that Mykell would call her a hoe and hit her was a hard pill to swallow. Not once in two, almost three years did she ever sleep with another man. She wasn’t that type of female. She would leave him before she would cheat on him.

  To make matters worse, she found out that she was pregnant, yet again. This was the second time that she was pregnant and she was more hurt than happy. She was scared that she would lose this baby too, so she wasn’t going to tell anybody until she couldn't hide it anymore. They still hadn’t found MJ, but they weren’t going to give up. Reneice had this gut feeling that he was still alive and she just knew it was true. Micah and Mykell were going around roughing up and shooting anybody that they felt had anything to do with it. It was just a disaster.

  Reneice was trying to get out of her brother house because she felt like she was blocking him from doing his thing. His current girlfriend was pregnant also and Neicey felt like she was in the way. But Ramone wasn’t having it. He was not about to let her move out, he didn’t care how much of a fight she put up. He would always win. She was bored so she called Le’Lani to come over and keep her company.

  “Girl, I need for you to come out of hiding. It’s not cute.” Lani said

  “Shut up, who asked you?” Said Neicey while throwing popcorn at Lani.

  “Anyways, you know daddy beat Mykell ass for hitting you? I ain’t never seen daddy so mad.”

  “Well he should have, messing around with me, you were about to be one brother short.”

  Lani rolled her eyes, “Whatever mami, yo two just need to go ahead and kiss and makeup, like y’all always do.”

  “Le’Lani, do not make me hurt you. I am not thinking about your brother. He can live happily ever after with Kya or one of them other hoes he fucking for all I care.”

  “Girl you are crazy, you been holding it down for two years, you gon let them bitches win that easily?”

  “What exactly are they winning Lani? Please tell me what the big prize is? He was with Kya’s hoe ass for seven years and look how he did her, I’m no different from her.”

  “Girl don’t even compare yourself to her ass, you are totally different from her.” Lani said turning up her nose.”

  “And how is that.”

  “You living in his house, that bitch still in the hood. You work, that bitch just sits on her ass. You’re around his son 24/7, he don't even allow that bitch around MJ. He bought you a brand new Benz, that bitch still takes the bus. You’re classy, that bitch is a hoodrat from the heart. Do I really need to keep going or do you get the point.” Lani asked sarcastically.

  “Fuck all that shit Lani, I must be lacking something because he sho is still messing with her rat ass, now am I right or am I right?”

  Lani was about to say something smart before Ramone, Mykell, Micah and Pop-Pop walked through the door.

  Reneice rolled her eyes at Ramone, he knew she didn’t want to be around Mykell. She got up from the couch to leave but Ramone’s voice made her stop in her tracks.

  “Sit the hell down!” he said.

  Reneice turned around and looked at him like he was crazy.

  “Ladybug don’t make me ask you again.”

  Defiantly she put her hands on her hip and replied, “What you gon do if I don’t? You gon hit me too?” she asked, without waiting for an answer before she walked off.

  Lani was right on her heels.

  “Stubborn ass!” Mykell yelled after her.

  “I’ma go handle it, I’ll be back.” Ramone sa
id heatedly.

  “Chill Mone, I got this one.” Pop-Pop said getting up.

  He went knocked on the guest bedroom door and Lani answered. “Let me talk to baby girl for a minute sweetie,”

  Lani left the room. Reneice was sitting on the bed pouting. Pop-Pop walked over and sat on the bed next to her.

  “What’s wrong baby girl?”

  “I’m tired of everybody treating me like I’m still a child. I’m 20 years old, I don’t need people putting their hands on me or chastising me like I’m two.”

  “I understand, tell me about this other man that you were out with the day MJ got kidnaped.”

  “He’s a very good friend of mine, well he was. He owns Club Xscape and I worked for him. Mykell is jealous of him because while he was too busy fucking up and sleeping with this hoe or that hoe, Kamil would listen to me and spend time with me when Mykell was too busy.”

  “Did you two sleep together?”

  She looked Pop-Pop in the eyes and told him that she had never slept with Kamil. He knew she was telling the truth, he didn’t see any signs of deception from her. He knew his son had really messed up.

  “Alright baby girl,” he kissed her forehead. “I believe you.”

  *****

  All eyes were on Pop-Pop when he walked back into the living room.

  “I believe her when she said she hasn’t slept with him but the way she talked about him, she has some type of feelings for him. Sorry but I won’t be able to help you with this one son.”

  She actually caught feelings for this nigga? Mykell thought.

  He was feeling some type of way about that. It was something about that nigga that he didn’t like or trust from the very first day he seen him at the hospital. He was now wondering if he had anything to do with the kidnapping of his son.

  “She did also tell me that they weren’t friends anymore, I didn’t ask for the details though.” Pop-Pop said taking Mykell from his thoughts.

  “We need to stop by the club and holla at this nigga. I don’t like him nor do I trust him and now I’m wondering if he had anything to do with MJ.” Mykell spoke up saying his thoughts out loud.
