It is What it is: A Hood Love Story

by B. , Ivory

  The whole crew started off as D boys from Brooklyn. The old saying is true Brooklyn niggaz be taking it. Dean had always been a smooth operator; he always had a nitch with women from a young age. His tall stature, muscular built and smooth dark complexion usually sealed the deal. Once he found his nitch by bagging a big Dominican Papi in Brooklyn wife and pulling his first caper, he knew that this was his calling. It wasn’t long before he put a whole crew together.

  It was so funny most of the time bitches were in the club looking for a nigga to take care of them. Women were trying to pull the dudes with the most shine on. The flyest whips the flyest clothes, the niggaz that’s poppin bottles. And that was him and his crew. Little did the chicks know that they were the ones being hunted. His crew was looking for the bitches that were pushing the flyest whips, bitches with the flyest shit on, red bottoms was a dead giveaway, ice, clothing and a handbag. If a bitch had on Prada, Gucci, Louie, Hermes, thousand dollar weaves and looked dumb as rocks well you know she ain’t buy the shit herself, so someone was taking care of her. He had the best job in the world he got to fuck some of the baddest bitches out here, then take a niggaz money after fucking his bitch. It don’t get no better than that. He didn’t understand why niggaz didn’t understand the one thing to living a long life is having a happy wife.

  Dean looked over at his boy “A’ight I put this bitch on ice for long enough. He drove his 750 Beamer into Kennsington Park just as he was pulling in the entrance Mia was leaving; he knew it was her because she had told him what she was driving since her car was in the shop for maintenance. He pulled up alongside the red Maxima. “Damn shorty you was just gonna peace off on a nigga?” Mia glared she was in a very bad mood. “I wait for no nigga; I’m too fly for that bullshit. You got me fucked up!” “Shorty, shorty you coming at a nigga throat I’m runnin late cause I wanted to pick you up a little something before I came,” Dean looked her in the eyes and could tell she needed a fix. That’s one thing that turned him off about Mia but at the same time turned him on, only because when she was high she was nasty ass fuck. “You gon let me make that up to you Ma?” Mia rolled her eyes still offended that he would have the audacity to keep a bad bitch like herself waiting. “C’mon shorty I got this paper on me I want you to help me spend it. Let me spoil you a lil bit, you look like you need it.” Mia broke into a smile “A’ight this one time, don’t let that shit happen again,” she warned as she let her girl Trichelle hop in the driver’s seat and walked over to Dean’s car. His boy Freeze was sitting shotgun and Mia beamed as he told his boy to beat it and hop in the backseat. Dean watched as Mia approached the car and hopped in. Mia was a bad bitch and he couldn’t wait to get to the telly to tear her out of those skin tight Armani skinny jeans.

  Mia looked at her pretty reflection in the mirror as she toyed with her hair that was already laid to perfection. She was feeling on top of the world. As she stared in the mirror she had a flash back of the night before with Dean. He did just as he said he would and copped her a Louis Vuitton bag for all the trouble he put her through by making her wait. They went back to his telly and he hit her off with her favorite past time and the shit was premium as always. She vacuumed down three lines and was feeling on top of the world and horny as hell. She ended up letting Dean and his boy pull a train on her. She could still feel it as if it were happening at the very moment. Dean hitting it from the back “Damn Shorty ya pussy drooling like a pitbull! Shit you wet,” He barked as he slapped her fat ass. His boy sucked on her titties and played with her clit as Dean hit it from behind. Mia was so turned on and horny she ended up downing his boy’s dick deep throating him like it was the last dick she would suck in her life. Then him and Dean switch positions. But it wasn’t until Dean went up in her ass and his boy hit her pussy at the same time did Mia skeet all over the place then fall into a deep sleep with the both of them. Mia snapped back into the here and now as her pussy jumped getting wet by just the thought of it all. Now that she was set with a stash of that good shit to last her a little bit, she was ready to deal with Nice’s dumb ass.

  Baby Mama Drama

  Mia hopped out of her Benz truck in front of Nice’s house. Her sister Rhonda and her girl Trichelle flocked her. Secretly her girl Trichelle was happy Mia was going through this. They were supposed to be the best of friends but Mia never missed a chance to throw up in Trichelle’s face that she had a baby father that provided this and that and took care of both her and Kynah. When she knew that Trichelle’s two kids father was locked doing a dime and sometimes it got hard on her. Never once did Mia offer a helping hand. And if Trichelle asked then Mia copped an attitude then would make sure she let everybody and they mama know what she had to do for Trichelle. From the looks of it Nice had a new bitch, a real chick, that he actually had staying with him, pushing his whips and Ky calling her mommy, which was unheard of. Trichelle had a feeling things were about to change for Mia and drastically.

  Mia stomped up his walkway, she knew Nice wouldn’t want her out here but at this point she really didn’t give a damn. Since he had bought the house nearly three years ago she had only been out to the house two times, that’s it. Nice actually didn’t even want her to know where he lived but he thought it only fair in case of an emergency with Ky. However, he never invited her there, not even when they fucked in the past, he brought her straight to a telly. She knew he would spaz about her coming unannounced. Mia looked in his driveway and noticed a little red C250 Benz that wasn’t pulled in the garages. “Hmph, I betchu that’s that bitch Benz. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that trick ass nigga copped it for her. Cheap ass fuckin Benz he got her the lowest class of all the Benz’s, you see who pushing the truck though,” Mia bragged.

  Ty was lying on the couch with Ky, still in her night clothes which was a pair of Nice’s basketball shorts and a oversized v neck polo tee. Kynah was sleeping cuddled up next to her while Nice was fully dressed and on his way out. Ty eyed him in his blood red Gucci high top sneakers, dark blue True Religions that sagged slightly despite the fact he had a Gucci belt on, all white Balenciaga V neck tee with the logo on the side of the sleeve, Phillies snapback hat that matched the color red of his sneakers and the Jesus piece on his neck could cause a car accident from the glare. He leaned in and kissed Ty’s lips. Just as he began to pull away Ty bit his bottom lip gently staring in his dark brown eyes.

  That morning was so perfect. She woke up to Nice kissing her neck. She kissed him back and before you knew it they were in a all out hot and heavy kissing and grinding session. What made things so special was that there was no sex, none at all. Nice just whispered sweet nothings in her ear, telling her how sexy and beautiful she was. She got her titties sucked and nipples serviced a little and she was embarrassed to say that he made her cum without even penetrating her, not even a finger. Damn this man good is all she could think. And for the first time in their relationship she told him she loved him. He didn’t say it back instead he kissed her lips so passionately, that one kiss said everything he wanted to say.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Both Nice and Ty froze from the hard banging at the door. Ty’s initial thought was the police. Then she heard a woman’s voice. “Nice open the muthafuckin door! I know you in there!” Ty looked over at Nice for an explanation; it didn’t take long for her to figure out who was at the door. “Yo I know this bitch...” Nice gritted then stopped mid sentence storming to the door with a crazed look on his face. Ty’s eyes nearly bugged out of her head when she saw the look on Nice’s face. She slid off the couch careful not to wake Ky and followed him to the front door standing off to the side. Nice violently swung one of the heavy wooden double doors open to face Mia. Nice glared at Mia with disdain and she stared right back at him with just as much resentment.

  There was nothing separating them but the heavy designer glass storm door. “Nigga give me mah fuckin daughter! Bitch you got me fucked up! You got my daughter out here calling some random bitch Mommy. You ain’t playin house with my fucking daughter, y
ou and ya bitch have your own!” Boom, Mia kicked the shit out of the glass door again. Ty was afraid that the way Mia was going at it that glass door would be shattered and soon there wouldn’t be anything but air and opportunity between her and Nice. And Ty was afraid of what Nice would do if he got ahold of Mia. Within a flash Nice was outside on the front steps.

  “Yo bitch is you fuckin crazy! Coming out to my crib wit all that ghetto loud shit!” “Oh unh, unh nigga you ain’t about to put ya hands on my sista, it ain’t goin down like that!” Rhonda screamed. Nice looked down the walk way and noticed Mia’s sister and another chick running up towards the house. “Hit me! Hit me, yeah hit me! Muthafucka so I can call them people and have ya ass hemmed the fuck up!” Mia threatened. You can call whoever the fuck you want, trust me though on everything if I’m goin down today, it’s gonna be for something. Matter fact I’ll beat the shit outta you then call them people for you,” Nice threatened.

  Ty’s mouth went completely dry. She knew what Mia was doing. Mia was trying to antagonize Nice into doing something that would have him get arrested. Ty was standing off to the side where Mia couldn’t see her until she stepped from the side of the doorway and Mia noticed her. Mia’s blood boiled over as she noticed Ty standing there. Mia burned a hole through Ty with a hateful glare. She felt as if Ty was trying to take her place. In her mind she should’ve been the one in that house with her daughter and her baby father. Mia was even more upset after seeing Ty up-close and noticing how pretty Ty really was. She saw her in the park the day before from afar, she thought she was cute but seeing her up close she was pretty as hell and her body was bangin. You could tell Ty had a nice shape, even with Nice’s oversized clothing on Ty’s shape couldn’t be contained. Ty stared at Mia and she had to admit she felt a tad bit intimidated. Mia was bad, point blank period. Ty could only imagine how she must of looked standing there with Nice’s oversized clothing on and at that very moment she was wishing she wasn’t in her night clothes.

  “Kamar just come back in the house,” Ty pleaded pulling on Nice’s arm. “Nice give me my fuckin baby, calling this bitch mommy,” Mia hissed looking Ty up and down nastily. “Kamar just come in the house please! Kynah is in there crying,” Ty said noticing Ky had woke up and was now standing in the doorway behind the glass door. Ty calling Nice Kamar really got under Mia’s skin for some reason. “Oh bitch what you came out here for, to have your man’s back? So what then, what then bitch?!” Mia said throwing her arms up like she wanted to see Ty in a fair one. “Look I don’t even know you. I don’t have no beef with you. My only concern is Kynah.” “Bitch! You know who the fuck I am! And what is it you not gettin Ky ain’t none of your concern, stay in ya fucking lane bitch! I don’t recall fuckin you when I made my daughter. She came outta my pussy! That’s my fuckin daughter!”

  Ty’s eyes bulged in shock. Mia was straight trash. Initially she felt a little intimidated by Mia’s looks, now she could see how a man wouldn’t want to take her seriously no matter how pretty she was. The way she carried herself was classless. “Ty go in the house and check on Ky,” Nice said never taking his evil glare off of Mia. “Yeah check yo bitch Nice,” Mia chimed in with a satisfied smirk. “No,” Ty said refusing. Too afraid to leave him out there with Mia, afraid of what he might do to her. “Tyeena do what I said!” Nice said raising his voice at her. Ty’s feelings were a little hurt as she turned and started to walk up the stairs. “Yeah bitch! Take ya homely looking ass in the house like he told you to,” Mia shot. That comment really got under Ty’s skin. “Yeah whateva bitch, maybe if you acted more like a mother you wouldn’t have to worry about your child calling someone else mommy.” “Oh bitch! What the fuck you say!” Mia said charging at Ty with anger. “You’s a punk ass bitch, you gonna wait to pop shit when you half way up the stairs!” Mia screamed as Nice held her back from Ty. “Don’t worry about me bitch. What you need to worry about is why ya man always tryna fuck every time he comes to get his daughter. You ain’t shit but a live in nanny. Go in the house and take care of my daughter, while I take care of what you obviously can’t, ya man beeyotch!” “What?! Mannn, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit!” Nice said angrily. “Yeah I’m still fuckin ya man hoe!” Mia taunted ignoring Nice focusing her fury on Ty.

  Ty flew down the stairs and swung on Mia from behind Nice and Mia swung back. Fists were flying from either side of Nice and he was caught in the middle. Ty noticed how hyped up Mia was as if she were on something. Next thing you know, Mia’s sister and friend came charging at Ty as well. Nice wasn’t having that. He shoved all three of them back. “Yo y’all bitches better fall back before I spaz out and beat the shit outta all y’all!” Nice spat. “Bitch this ain’t over I’ma catch you in these streets.” Mia threatened while pulling her hair back after Ty yanked it during their little scuffle.” “Ratchet ass bitch!” Ty screamed. Mia laughed hysterically suddenly “Bahahahaha! Girl did y’all see how mad that bitch got when I told her I’m still fuckin her man? Oh she don’t like that shit,” Mia taunted. “Baby girl let me put you on to game. You need to know Baby mama’s got full access to the dick for life, deal with it.” Mia’s sister taunted

  One of Nice’s neighbors who was walking his dog stopped and watched the fiasco for a minute. “Is everything alright over there?” The older white man called over with concern. “Take ya old white nosey ass back down the street! How the fuck you know anything goin on over here and the houses like 5 minutes apart?” Mia’s sister screamed. The man gasped and his face turned beet red. “I beg your pardon, I’m calling the police,” he said. “Yup call the muthafuckin Po Po. I’ma post up right here till they get here, so I can get my daughter. Nigga you ain’t got custody.”

  Nice yanked Mia by the arm tired of her showing her ass. “Mia If you have them blue and whites come through and hot my shit up. I swear I will fuckin murk you. I’ll bring my daughter home when I’m good and ready to,” Nice gritted tired of this dumb shit Mia was pulling. She had come out here and showed her ass, enough was enough. “Mia girl come the fuck on. I’m not tryna get arrested way the fuck out here. I still got a warrant!” Mia’s sister screamed. Mia saw that look on Nice’s face and got spooked she knew he was dead serious. Nice let her arm go when he saw she got the picture. “You don’t have to call the cops, it’s not necessary,” Nice called over to his neighbor. “Are you sure?” the neighbor asked nervously eyeing the angry black women. “Yeah I’m sure. They were just leaving now,” Nice said with a forced fake smile. In all the years of living out here he had never interacted with his neighbors, until now and in this way. Mia and her goons went to leave as Nice turned to push an angry Ty back into the house.

  He slammed the door behind him and started pacing back and forth. “I can’t believe that dumb bitch gon bring some random bitches out to my crib. Is she fuckin crazy? Letting niggaz know where the fuck I lay my head.” Nice went on and on more concerned about the fact that Mia had compromised his and his daughter’s safety. He was so mad he didn’t notice Ty sitting on the couch chest heaving up and down with anger as she willed herself not to cry.

  “Kamar do you have something you wanna tell me?” Nice stopped dead in his tracks and looked over at Ty. “What? Tell you what?” “Do you have something to tell me?” “Ty if you asking me if I’m fuckin my baby moms then I’ma tell you what I told you before, No. End of discussion.” “End of discussion?! End of discussion! Nice you gonna tell me something! This bitch claiming y’all still fuckin, and how you always tryin to screw her when you pick up Ky!” “Ty I already told you the deal, if you wanna believe the dumb shit she kickin then do it. I’m not entertaining the dumb shit no more,” Nice said walking off as if Ty’s concerns were trivial. “You know what, fine. Fuck this, this shit ain’t even worth it,” Ty said with tears finally escaping her eyes and running down her face. What was I thinking? Here I am fighting in the streets like some basic bitch over a man. I have too much class for that; fuck all this drama it’s not worth it. Ty thought as she
looked down at her hand where her nail bed had been cracked right down the middle causing a lot of pain.

  “What was that? This ain’t worth it! Fuck you mean by that?” Nice said walking after Ty as she walked up the stairs to check on Ky who was crying upstairs in her room. Nice was on Ty’s heels as she walked up the stairs. “This ain’t worth it Ty?” Nice said getting angrier with each step he took. Nice grabbed her arm as they hit the landing of the steps in the hallway pinning her up against the wall. “Ty, yo what is you really tryna say? What you mean this shit ain’t worth it ha? I’m not worth it? My daughter ain’t worth it?!” “Noo! This bullshit I’m goin through right now ain’t worth it.” Ty sniffled wiping tears from her eyes. Nice jerked his head back as if her words slapped him.

  He was angry but more with himself. Just when he finally let his guard down and let not only his feelings but his daughter’s get involved, Ty pulled this. “Well if we ain’t worth it then get the fuck out!” Nice said grabbing Ty by her arm pushing her towards the stairs. Ty didn’t even respond at first, she couldn’t believe what was happening. She snapped out of her shock state when she saw the stairs approaching. “Kamar what the fuck is you doin? Stooop Kamar!” Ty screamed trying to stand her ground and not be pushed out of the house. Ky came out her room screaming “No Daddy don’t do that to Mommy!” Ky cried. Ty just gave up on fighting to stay. She didn’t want Ky to have to go through anymore trauma than she had already gone through that day. Nice pushed Ty all the way out the front door slamming it in her face. Ty stood there for a minute not believing what had just happened.
