That Unbreakable Love

by Tynessa

  “I thought we were hanging out today?” asked Be-Be when they pulled up to her house. Though Ray’Shun never said they were, she thought when she jumped in his car with him when he got ready to leave her house from chilling with her brother, Slim, they would spend the day together. That was never in Ray’Shun’s agenda.

  “I never said that,” was his only reply. He hated like hell he was so weak when it came to Be-Be, but her sex game was like no other. And the head was even better! He was far from in love with her and couldn’t even imagine himself being in a relationship with Be-Be, but for some reason she got in her head that he would leave Trinity for her. That would never happen.

  “But I was hoping we could.” Be-Be looked at him with puppy dog eyes. Ray’Shun’s young ass had her feeling things she’d never felt for anyone else in her life. Sad thing about it was, they never done anything that couples did. They would pretty much just fuck from time to time and get drunk and high together when he would come over to chill with her brother. Somewhere in between that, Be-Be fell in love!

  “Look man, we gotta end this shit.” Ray’Shun sighed, and picked at the messy twists that was on the top of his head. He only did that when he was in deep thoughts or upset about something. Right now, he was in deep thoughts. He didn’t want to hurt Be-Be out of respect for her brother, but he couldn’t keep hurting his girl by fucking with her. And Trinity’s feelings meant much more, than Slim’s feelings would ever mean to him.

  “What you mean we gotta end this?” Though he had said that before, this time it was different. Be-Be saw in his eyes that he was serious this time.

  “I mean this shit we got going on. Come on shawty, let’s be real. You know and I know that we’ll never be more than fuck buddies. Shit, we been fucking around for a year now and you see nothing has changed. It never will.”

  “That’s because you don’t want it to! I don’t know why you still trying to hold on to Trinity for,” said Be-Be. She was really becoming upset. To her, she’d invested too much time with Ray’Shun for him to end things all for a bitch that’s not willing to open her legs to him.

  Be-Be wondered what Ray’Shun could possibly see in Trinity. She was pretty but she was just plain. Never tried to fix herself up with makeup or anything. Little did she know, that was what Ray’Shun loved about Trinity the most. She was breathtaking without makeup or all the flashy jewelry and ho-clothes these other broads would wear for attention. Nah, Trinity didn’t need none of that stuff and still turned heads on a daily basis and had something that Be-Be would never have, even with all the makeup she wore; and that was the heart of Ray’Shun.

  “Because I love her and that’s my girl. That’s why! See, me and you.” He pointed from him to Be-Be. “We’ll never be together. You just like the rest of these hoes, wishing you could take my girl spot. I’m letting you know now, that’ll never happen! So that’s why we gotta end this shit. For a year, I been cheating on her for you. After today, it ain’t happening again,” explain Ray’Shun. He was trying to end things on a good note but Be-Be was about to make shit hard.

  Slap! Out of nowhere Be-Be had done slapped the shit out of him. That caught Ray’Shun totally by surprised and before he knew it, he had his hand around her neck.

  “Bitch, if you ever in yo’ raggedy ass life put your hands on me again I’ll fuck you up. I don’t know when you felt it was okay for you to put your hands on me but you better not let that shit happen again. Now get yo’ ass out my shit!”

  Be-Be just stared at him momentarily. She wanted to apologize to him because honestly, she let her emotions play out and it almost caused her to get her ass beat. But it is what it is. She was hurt so why not let him know how she felt.

  “Fuck you and that bitch! I’ve invested a whole mothafuckin year with yo’ trifling ass and you telling me that it was for nothing is a damn slap in the fucking face. I should’ve never started fucking with yo’ childish ass in the first damn place.”

  “Well you did, so count it as a loss!” was Ray’Shun’s nonchalant reply as he took out his cell phone and began dialing a number. Be-Be didn’t know who he was calling but it wasn’t about to shut her up. In fact, in hopes that he was calling Trinity she began talking loud so she could hear.

  “Fuck that bitch! She ain’t even thinking about your ass. Hell, she won’t even let you see what her pussy look like. And yet and still she claims she loves you!” Ray’Shun just shook his head. This chick was really gone in the head.

  “Yo’ you need to come out here and get your damn sister before I beat her ass,” he spoke into the phone. That really got Be-Be pissed off. She didn’t want her younger brother seeing her acting like that over his friend that was the same age as he was. Truthfully, she didn’t want anyone to know his young ass had her sprung.

  “Wow, really? So you going to call my brother on me?! You know what, it’s all good. I can’t force you to be with me.” Opening the door, Be-Be got ready to get out but she had one last thing to say before so. “I hope you catch blue balls waiting for that mothafucka to give you some pussy!” with that her mad ass slammed his car door shut. Ray’Shun just sped off, not even bothering to entertain her ignorance.

  Chapter 5

  The weekend had gone by fast, the kids were back at home and Shaniqua was once again doing her motherly duty. A mother’s job is never done! All the kids were off to school, the house was cleaned and it was now ten a.m. Shaniqua was rushing to get ready to get dressed because her, Star and Brooke were going to breakfast and have a much needed ladies day out. Just as she stepped out the shower, Ronny was walking in the bathroom scratching his private area while yawning. Shaniqua just shook her head and chuckled to herself. Oh, how I love this man. She thought to herself.

  “Good morning to you too,” she said as Ronny whipped out his dick and started peeing as if she wasn’t standing there. Yes, they were one of the types that did shit like that. Ronny had his head thrown back and eyes closed while biting down on his bottom lip as if him pissing was the best feeling in the world. Once he was done, he finally looked over at Shaniqua as she stood at her side of the sink, now applying the little makeup that she wore from time to time.

  “Where you going?” he asked. Walking over to his side of the sink, he began brushing his teeth and washing his face.

  “About to hang out with my sister and Brooke. I told you last night that I was hanging with them,” Shaniqua answered.

  “Nah, I don’t remember you telling me that. Why you have to put all that shit on just to hang out with them? You trying to look good for them or something?” Ronny jealous ass asked. You would think that after all these years he would have gotten the hint that Shaniqua only had eyes for him. However, she laughed because she thought his jealousy was kind of cute.

  “I don’t have to put on makeup to look cute for nobody and you know that. That shit is natural for me,” Shaniqua replied back smartly. Ronny smacked her bare ass so hard that Shaniqua knew he’d just left his handprint back there. “Ouch mothafucker! I’ma beat yo’ ass! Ronny that shit hurts,” she fussed while rubbing the spot he’d just hit. She was damn near in tears; it stung so badly.

  “That’s what happens when have a smart mouth. Now, where ya’ll going?” By now, Ronny was rubbing his hard penis against his wife’s ass.

  “No Ronny, I don’t have time for this. Star and Brooke will be here in about ten minutes and I still have to find me something to put on,” Shaniqua complained. Ronny wasn’t trying to hear that. Turning Shaniqua around, he lifted her and sat her on the sink. Just as her butt hit the counter top, the doorbell rang.

  “Fuck! Got-damn man. I thought you said ten minutes?” Ronny asked as he placed his dick back inside his boxers and backed away. Shaniqua jumped off the sink smiling. ‘Saved by the damn bell,’ she said to herself.

  Grabbing a pair of basketball shorts and a wife beater, Ronny went down to answer the door while Shaniqua found something to wear. Indeed, it was Star and Brooke. The thought of telling them
to give him and his wife about twenty minute crossed his mind but he quickly brushed it off. He had all night to get some pussy!

  “What’s up ya’ll? She’ll be down in a minute.” Stepping to the side, he let the ladies in. “Where ya’ll nigga’s at?” Ronny asked.

  “Mines at home. He said he was coming over here in a minute though,” answered Star. She and Cornell had one of the best relationships nowadays. Almost losing her life was enough to wake her up and see that it was time to grow up, and cherish the things that she once had taken for granted. Star now puts her family first and will let nothing or no one come before them.

  “That jackass of mines is at home getting on my nerves.” Brooke said with a roll of her eyes. Ronny didn’t know what, but it didn’t that a rocket scientist to know that Bino had pissed her off.

  “Man, don’t be doing my bruh like that Brooke! You know that’s yo’ baby so stop flexing on him,” Ronny teased. Bino was her baby and she loved him wholeheartedly, so that’s why she impolitely rolled her eyes and smacked her lips. Ronny laughed before turning to Star. “Yo’ call up Nell and tell him to meet me at ma’s house. I’m about to head over there since ya’ll cock-blocking and shit.”

  “Boy shut yo’ ass up!” Said Shaniqua before Star could respond. She’d just walked in and caught the end of the conversation. “One would think you don’t ever get no pussy with the way you act, damn. Hell, then again they probably think I got gold down there or something.” Shaniqua shook her head as Brooke and Star snickered. Even Ronny laughed.

  It was like Ronny couldn’t get enough of her, and that was the exact reason she took her birth control pills, faithfully. Shaniqua refused to have another baby when she was damn near knocking on forty. Ronny didn’t want her to get her tubs tied for whatever reason so the next best thing was for her to be on birth control.

  “It’s platinum down there,” Ronny said with a wink. “And yo’ ass giving it up tonight!” He teased as he smacked Shaniqua on the butt. She responded by pushing him away with laughter.

  “Give me a kiss. I’ll be back later.” Puckering up, Ronny tongued his wife down as if nobody else was in the room but them. When they finally broke their kiss, Shaniqua had damn near changed her mind on going out with Star and Brooke. “Damn,” she said as she stared into Ronny’s green eyes. He hadn’t kissed her that way in a long time. Though they shared plenty of kisses, throughout the day, this time it was more intense, more sincere. Shaniqua quickly shook the feeling of wanting to stay home with hubby off because Ronny knew exactly what he was doing.

  “You might as well tell them you staying here,” he whispered into Shaniqua’s ear. She smiled and shook her head.

  “That kiss was good but it wasn’t all that.” Lying straight through her teeth, she turned to Brooke and Star and said, “Come on ladies,” and walked to the door. Ronny just laughed because he knew it was a lie.

  “Aye Niyah, wait up,” said a guy that goes by the name of Kush. Kush was a tall skinny guy with a nice-looking face. He was a dark caramel complexion with a short curly fro and tatted all the way up. Kush was well known in the streets and had been held back twice, so therefore he was still in middle school—eight grade to be exact when he should be in the tenth.

  Since Shaniyah was already close to her locker she continued to walk that way. If he wanted to carry on a conversation with her then he would have to come to her. As soon as she approached her locker, Kush was walking up.

  “What’s up ma? I know you heard me tell you to wait,” he said. This was Kush’s first time ever saying anything to Shaniyah. He would usually just observe her beauty from a distance and that was it. Though Kush was in middle school, he was much older than the young girls there and they weren’t nowhere near on his level. He had recently turned sixteen years old, so what could they young asses do for him? Kush barely even attended school. He was a street nigga that felt it wasn’t shit a teacher could teach him. He was very smart but school wasn’t for him.

  “Yeah, I did hear you but I had to come to my locker before the bell rung,” Shaniyah respond nonchalantly as she fumbled around inside her locker. Though she’d noticed him, she wasn’t one of his groupies. All the girls at Virginia Middle School wanted that boy. Even if they knew he wouldn’t give them the time of day, it didn’t stop them from trying.

  “So what’s up with you? Can I walk you to your class?” he asked. Now, usually when Kush would approach a female on the streets he would be aggressive with them, but he knew Shaniyah was just a baby. Though he’d seen her flirt with guys, Kush knew she probably hadn’t even talked on the phone with one before. His assumption was right, too. Ronny would kill his baby girls if he knew they had eyes for a boys.

  Shaniyah hunched her shoulder, “I don’t care,” she said and slammed her locker shut. “How happened you’re at school today?” she asked as they began walking to her class. Kush smiled.

  “Oh so you been watching me?” He was flattered.

  “I mean, I’ve noticed you but I don’t just watch you like that. You’re not hard to miss, meaning, you’re like the biggest kid here,” Shaniyah said with a giggle as she threw shade.

  “Oh so you got jokes. How about you come tutor me so I could pass my classes and get promoted?” Kush didn’t need a tutor at all. He was very smart and would pass his classes with flying colors. Now, getting him to do his school work was a different story.

  “Tuh. Maybe if you come to school then you would pass,” Shaniyah said smartly as they were approaching her class. Kush knew Shaniyah was very mature for her age and that’s the reason he decided to approach her. She carried herself way better than all the other eight graders and he liked that.

  “Well look, take my number and hit me up sometimes. I know getting yours is out of the question,” Kush chuckled. Reaching in his pocket, he took out his pen and jotted his number on a piece of paper Shaniyah was carrying; which was her homework. She didn’t even let him know as she watched him write on it. “You better call too.” With that, Kush strolled off and Shaniyah couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face if she wanted to.

  Kush was a bad boy, the type of guy that her father would demand her and her sisters to stay away from. But Shaniyah would be lying is she said she wasn’t turned on by his thuggish demeanor. Just the way he walks, talks and all those damn tattoos would set her young ass body on fire. Yes, she would definitely be calling him.

  Chapter 6

  Ronny pulled up to his parents’ house and Cornell’s car was already parked out front. He saw his dad and brother was already sitting on the front porch carrying on a conversation. Noticing Cornell had Kandice in his arms with her head resting on his shoulder, he wondered why she wasn’t in school.

  “What’s up ya’ll? Why my niece ain’t in school?” Ronny asked as he grabbed Kandice.

  “She don’t feel good. I thought ma was going to be here to watch her but her old ass trying to hang out with Star and them,” Cornell fussed. Ronny laughed but Daddy Willie didn’t find shit funny.

  “Man, you know her ass think she young. I told my dad he need to stop her from wearing all that tight shit. Old ass ain’t gon’ be satisfied until someone snatch her ass up from him,” Ronny added his two cents. Who was he to talk when he could barely tell his wife what to not wear?!

  “Fuck ya’ll young niggas! When you an OG you don’t have to worry about nann mothafucka taking your woman. That’s what’s wrong with ya’ll youngins nowadays. Ya’ll try to control ya’ll women. Don’t no female want a nigga that’s going to try to be their father and don’t no man want a bitch that’s going to try and be their mama. You have to let her breath. She’ll do and say slick shit but at the end of the day, if you’re putting it down in the bedroom, she knows who the boss. Remember that!” Daddy Willie preached.

  Daddy Willie was a certified OG. He knew everything there was to know about the street life, but most of all, he knew how to treat his woman. Yeah, he cheated on Debbie the first
time they were together but there wasn’t one time Debbie could recall him not making sure his home was well taken care of before he went out and did his dirt. He would always make sure her and Ronny was straight. Even when he and Debbie split up, Daddy Willie always made sure she and Ronny wanted for nothing.

  “Man whatever, Shan know who the boss is and I dare her to try half the shit you let my ma get away with, with me. She know I don’t play that.” As soon as the words left Ronny’s mouth, Cornell and Daddy Willie was falling out their chairs laughing. Ronny waved them off.

  “Nigga, we all know who wear the pants in your marriage,” said Cornell as he continued to laugh. Ronny reminded Daddy Willie so much of himself when he was his age that it was ridiculous. He was the spitting imagine of his father and Ray’Shun was the spitting imagine of him.

  “Yeah mothafucka and we know who wear them in your relationship, too,” Ronny shot back at his younger brother.

  Cornell threw his hands in the air and said, “Oh, I ain’t the one acting like I’m running shit,” he continued to laugh. Ronny just chuckled. He knew Shaniqua had a mouth piece on her but he wouldn’t necessary say she’s running shit. She know how far to go with her mouth—meaning, she knew when to shut the fuck up.

  “Man, ya’ll stop all that damn cursing in front of my grandbaby. Let me go lay her down knucklehead.” Daddy Willie stood and got Kandice out Ronny’s arm. He wasn’t Cornell’s kids’ grandfather, biologically, but he loved them no less than his very own. He and Debbie even treated Bino and Brooke’s kids the same as the others.

  “Here, fire this up.” Daddy Willie threw Ronny the already rolled blunt he had tucked in his pocket. Ronny caught it but shook his head as he held it out for Cornell to take.

  “Nah, I have to get going. Wifey called me on the way over. I gotta be home when the youngins get there,” he explained. Once again, Cornell and Daddy Willie laughed. “Fuck ya’ll! It’s called being a husband and a father mothafuckas,” Ronny fussed as he walked off.
