Love Overrated (4 page)

Chapter Eight - Rashaan

"You been spending a lot of time with Kaylee, wassup bro you smashed shorty yet?" Ja’kari asked me while pouring us a shot of Henny.

  "Nah, I ain't smash yet. She cool as fuck, but you already know I’m not going to smash while, I’m still in a relationship with Ashanti. I'm not that type of nigga," I chugged my shot down. I heard screaming coming from the bathroom.

  Ja’kari stood up, "I bet you that's Kyanni," he started running towards the bathroom. I poured another shot and drunk it before following him. There was so much security inside the bathroom we couldn't get through. I heard a voice that sounded similar to Tymeeka yelling. I pushed my way through the door and seen that Kaylee was choking the shit out of Ashanti.

   "That's enough Kaylee, let her go!" I grabbed her by the waist

   "Get control of your ratchet bitches," she looked at me with hate in her eyes and stormed out the bathroom. I helped Ashanti up off the floor before running after Kaylee. I caught up to her outside walking down the block.

  "Kaylee slow down,” I called out to her, but she ignored me and continued to walk.

  "Go back and check on your girlfriend. Tell her I said next time she had better think twice before coming for me. I don't fuck with anybody, so for her to come at me over you is fucking ridiculous, and I'm not even with you," she was screaming at me, "I'll fucking kill that bitch, word to my mother!" she started to turn red.

  "Come on Kaylee, get in the car. We’re taking you home," Yanni stopped in front of Kaylee and demanded that she get in the car.

  "I got her, come on Kay" I directed her towards my car.

  "You still with this bitch? After you witnessed her choking me while I'm pregnant with your child. You ain't shit, fucking faggot ass nigga," Ashanti started throwing daggers at me. I made sure she was good before I went to get Kaylee. Shorty did come here with me, so I wasn't about to just leave her alone.

  "Go home Ashanti," I kept walking to my car making sure to keep Kaylee in front of me. Damn did shorty really just say she pregnant with my seed? Why she ain't tell me that earlier when I was at her crib?

  "Okay, you got it" I heard her scream as I laws pulling out.

  "So you gonna tell me what happened in there ma?" I asked her.

  "I mean I guess, I was using the bathroom and all I hear is, ‘Rashaan think I'm dumb, I know he fucking that young ugly bitch Kaylee’. So I stepped out the stall like ‘wassup’. Shit got crazy from there," she started rubbing the scratch that she had on her face from the fight. "Bitch is pussy, like who scratches?"

Kaylee

  We pulled up in front of his house, and he shut the engine off. "I’ma just say this, your beautiful Kaylee. People are going to hate on you until your six feet under and probably after you’re dead. You can't let what people say take you there. They not even worth it at the end of the day ma. No more fighting in the club, you’re better than that," he grabbed my hand and kissed it before getting out the car.

  I grabbed my pocketbook and followed him inside the house. I went straight upstairs to get ready for a shower. Brittany and Draya were sitting on Draya’s bed smoking a blunt.

  "Hurry up and close the door before mommy comes up here going off," Draya yelled but thought she was whispering. I started laughing when Brittany jumped up with the air freshener and started spraying it. She immediately stopped when she noticed the scratch on my face.

   "What the fuck happened to your fucking face Kaylee?" she grabbed my face to examine it closer.

   "I had a fight at the club," I sat down on my bed and started taking off my shoes. Ms. Jackie had gotten an extra bed for Brittany and me to sleep on. "It's nothing serious," I honestly didn't want to talk about it no more, but the type of person Brittany was I knew I was going to have to explain what happened.

  "With who?" Both she and Draya yelled at the same time.

  "Ashanti," I stood up and walked to the dresser to get me some clothes for bed.

  "Oh, hell, no! What the fuck happened?" Brittany yelled and started getting dressed.

  "Brittany why are you getting dressed?" I asked her laughing.

  "This shit ain't fucking funny Kaylee. That bitch thinks she tough, I always knew I didn't like her ass."

  "Stop cursing Britt, just listen while I tell y'all what happened," I gave them a short version of what went down at the club. "Kyanni is my bitch, she straight snuffed her in her shit for no reason." I started laughing thinking about the whole situation.  I pulled out my cell phone out of the pocket book and sent Yanni a text message making sure she was good. All throughout the fighting and shit, I forgot she was pregnant. 

  "Come in," I answered a knock at the door.

   Rashaan peeked his head in, "Kaylee come here when you get a minute."

   "Ok," I replied dryly.

   "Oh, shit bitch, stop acting like you don't want to run and go see what he wants," Draya said. Brittany started cracking up laughing.

   "Use protection,” Draya yelled out.

   "Yeah, cause I don't want any nieces and nephews right now," Brittany called out before I could fully close the door.

   "Wassup," I asked walking into his room.

    "Come chill with me for a little bit," he was laying back on his bed smoking a blunt and playing GTA5.

  "I'm about to go get in the shower, if you not sleep when I'm done I'll come back," I walked out his room and down the stairs.

  "Hey, Ms. Jackie, it's almost two in the morning. What are you still doing up?" I asked her. She was sitting in the living room watching TV.

  "I can't sleep baby. Come sit down, how are you?"

  I went and sat next to her on the couch. "I'm good. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for Brittany and me. You've become a mother to me, and I'm so grateful to have you in our life."

  "Stop thanking me, I wouldn’t have been able live with myself if I let you girls go back into those streets. So how's school? Just three weeks and you graduate. I know your mother is so proud of you. "

  "School going good, I'm basically done all that's left to do is finals," I didn't respond to the comment about my mother.

  "You and Rashaan have been spending a lot of time together, wassup with that?" she asked.

  "Nothing really, we just chillin plus you know he goes with Ashanti. That girl is crazy! She swears Ra and me has something going on. Tonight I went out with him, Ja’kari, and Kyanni, Kyanni and I went to use the restroom and I hear her discussing me. Ms. Jackie I'm not a troublemaker at all. I wasn't even going to say nothing, but I just couldn't help it, so I asked her did she have an issue with me. Why did she attack me? I'm not a fighter, but I'm not a punk either, so we fought," I told her the truth. I turned, so she could see the scratch on my face, "Look what she did to my face, made me feel even worse about myself," I turned away from her because I felt the tears getting ready to fall.

  "Kaylee look at me," she grabbed my head and turned it towards her, "Your beautiful, don't ever let anybody tell you something different. I mean that, you understand? And hunny don't ever let another female bring you out of your character, you’re better than that, you understand?” I nodded my head yes.

“That girl has always been trouble, I don't know what my hard headed son sees in her, she doesn't have any damn respect," she was getting upset talking about her.

  "Yeah, well, she claimed that she was pregnant with your grandchild, so congratulations," I stood up to let her know that this conversation was over.

  "If I told you how many times she has said that you wouldn't believe me."

  I shook my head, "That's crazy, but I'm gonna get in the shower, then call it a night, goodnight." I hugged her and proceeded to the shower.

Chapter Nine – Rashaan

   I was on my third blunt when Kaylee came walking back into my room. She smelled crazy good. I knew it was going to be tough not hitting that tonight.

  "Why are you standing by the door, come sit down," I pointed to a spot next to me on my king size bed.

   "I wasn't just gonna sit on your bed. I was waiting for you to invite me over,” she started smiling.

  "You're always welcomed in my room Ma. You took a long ass shower, I guess that's a female thing, huh?" I was high as hell and everything was funny to me.

  "Actually, I was only in the shower for twenty minutes. When I went downstairs, Ms. Jackie was sitting in the living room, so I sat down and started talking to her for a little while. Since when did I have to explain myself to you?"

  "She good?"

  "She's fine Rashaan," she snatched the pillow from up under my head and laid back.

  "Guess I gotta lay on you since you took all my pillows." I laughed and laid back onto her flat stomach. "Look, let me apologize for earlier tonight, seeing that fucking scratch on your face got me feeling some type of way, word!"

  "Why you lie and tell Ashanti you was with Draya at the mall? Matter of fact, forget it, you’re not my man, so I don't even want to know," she caught an instant attitude.

   "Kaylee I’ma keep it a buck with you, I'm dead ass feeling you Ma, but I’m in a relationship with Ashanti. I don't want to be with her anymore, and no, I'm not just saying that because I like you, I’m being completely honest. Me and shorty use to have a connection, and it’s just not there anymore. I tried to leave her a few months back, and she tried to kill herself. I got love for shorty because we been together for three years, but I'm not in love with her anymore. I feel like I gotta stay with her because she might try to kill herself . That shit will fuck with me for the rest of my life being that I’ma look at it as my fault.”

  “She needs help, it’s nothing you can do to actually stop her if she really wants to kill herself. I'm not telling you to end shit with her, but you gotta be careful because crazy bitches like that will either carry out the threat of killing herself or worse kill your ass. All I’m saying is be careful.”

  “Yeah, that’s true, but look I don’t wanna talk about her anymore. I want to talk about us.”

   “What about us, you are in a relationship Ra,” she rolled her eyes at me.

   “Well, we can be friends until I figure this shit out,” I told her,

“Honestly, I can’t be friends with someone I like,” she said that fast and low, I barely heard her.

“Speak up Ma, I didn’t hear you,” I distinctly heard her. I just wanted her to be louder.

“Nothing, I’m about to go to bed. It’s going on five, and I’m getting sleepy,” she yawned and tried to leave.

“Sleep with me, it might be hard, but I promise I’ma be good,” I smirked at her

“Okay, I’ll sleep in here. You better be glad your bed is comfortable or else I would be going to get in my bed,” she laughed and got under the covers.

We stayed up talking until seven in the morning. I feel like she is finally opening up to me about certain situations and she understands that with her is where I want to be I just don’t know how to end shit with Ashanti. I was woken up around eleven to Draya yelling. I hopped out the bed carefully not to wake my future queen up. I ran downstairs with nothing, but my boxers and socks on.

“Wassup, Draya,” I asked her. She was sitting on the couch putting on her sneakers.

“Wassup is I’m about to fuck Ashanti ass up, she so fucking disrespectful,” she pushed past me and tried to run out the front door. I grabbed her before she could open the door. I looked up the stairs and see Brittany running down them with Kaylee not far behind her.

“Rashaan get the fuck out my way,” Brittany calmly said.

“What the fuck happened?” I yelled

“She came here yelling and screaming, talking crazy, calling my mother out her damn name and acting a fool. For her to disrespect you is one thing, but when it comes to my fucking mother, I will go to war and not think twice about it! Now get the fuck out my way before I punch you in your shit!” Draya was screaming and yelling. My sister didn’t play when it came to me and my mother. Her hands were bi-sexual, she fought niggas and bitches.

“Kaylee get Brittany and Draya while I go find out what’s going on,” I needed someone to help me get some control of the situation.

“Okay,” she said, “Draya and Brittany come here real quick.”

As soon as they both walked over to her, I walked out the door.

“What the fuck is your problem Ashanti?” I walked up to her car and started yelling in her face, “Don’t ever come to my crib acting like a bird, ass bitch, are you fucking crazy?”

“Where is your little bitch Kaylee?” she smirked and looked over at her friend Tymeeka.

“Don’t worry about Kaylee! If you ask me, your ass is jealous of her. Ashanti it’s over, I’m sick of doing this shit with you. You need to leave, if you don’t I will have no choice, but to whip your damn ass myself,” I didn’t hit females, but this bitch was taking me there.

She jumped out the car and in my face, “Nigga it ain’t over until I fucking say so!” she reached in the car and pulled something out, “I’m pregnant muthafucka! Congrats daddy!” she got back in the car and threw the test at me then spit at me. Before I could respond Draya, Brittany, and Kaylee came running out the house.

“Now I gotta kill you bitch,” Draya went running for her car. Ashanti pulled off so fast I didn’t even know her car was started.

“I’ma see you in the streets you little funny looking bitch!” Shanti yelled out.

Kaylee looked at me and shook her head before walking back towards the front door.

“Draya and Britt go inside the house.”

“That’s word to everything when I see that bitch its lights out for her ass,” Draya said, as she was walking in the house. I followed behind them and instead of joining the ladies in the living room, I went back upstairs to my room. I grabbed my phone and hit up Ja’Kari’s line.

“Wassup bro?” he asked soon as he picked up

“Yo, I need a drink,” I sighed into the phone.

“Wassup it’s not even twelve yet?”

“Me and Kay were laying in the bed knocked out this morning, so I hear Draya going off downstairs. So I go down there, and Ashanti is outside talking mad shit,” I didn’t get into detail with what happened. I just put him on to the basics, “Draya and Britt was trying to get at her and shit, and she threw a pregnancy test at me talking about she’s pregnant and shit. This morning was crazy bro!”

“I’m still over here trying to get past you and Kaylee laying in the bed together, you got something you wanna tell me,” he started laughing.

“Fuck you nigga, where you at?” I asked him.

“I’m at the crib. Kyanni said she gotta talk to me, so I’m waiting for shorty to come through. What are are you doing today?”

“It’s Sunday, so I’m not doing much, you know mom dukes gonna throw down in the kitchen and shit, you and Yanni should stop by” I invited him over cause I knew my mother wouldn’t mind.

“Yeah, aight that sounds like a plan, I’ma holla at you though,” after hanging up with him I laid back on my bed and went into deep thought.
