Shorty Got My Head Gone (12 page)

"Oh is that right," Poppi said looking at me with a blank look. I rolled my eyes again.

"Yes but we will discuss everything tomorrow, I have got to go I will talk to you guys later." she gave me a hug then let herself out.

I hardly hugged her back because she just put me on Jump Street talking about my grades. I Know I had not so good grades and now they’re probably even worse since I haven't been in school for the past 2 weeks.

I used to get nothing but straight A's in school but after my brother died I start slacking in school. I fucking hate school in all honesty. Now I come to class late, leave early, ditcher don't even show up. I will do my work in class but when it came down to homework, haha fuck that shit. I hate homework and didn't understand why we was in school so much. I mean come on now we go to school 5 days out the week, couple days off for the holiday a good two weeks for Christmas break, and 2 months during the summer and that if you don't have summer school. It's just ridiculous, we spend more time in school than anything else.

After Ms. Brown closed the door behind her Poppi just looked at me shaking his head.

"What" I looked at him laughing. He didn't see shit funny.

"So you fucking up in school" he asked looking down at me.

I waved my hand "What, no I don't know what she talking about" I say while shaking my head.

He just stood there with an "mmhmm" face. I started laughing and wrapped my arms around his torso hugging him.

"I'm just so happy Poppi, thank you for everything you've done for me"

He started laughing hugging me back. "You good shorty" he kissed my forehead "I told you I got you right?"  I let go of the embrace.

I looked up at him "Yea you right. I love you big bra" I said quoting the "Big bra" with my hands.

"I love you to, quote on quote little sis." He sad mimicking me.

Chapter 13

Ashley

Later that evening

Stepping out the shower, I realized I forgot to grab a towel so I decided to air dry. I walk in the room and went to my closet to pick out an outfit for tonight to go to Kieara dinner party. While getting ready I had Pandora playing on my TV through the speaker installed in the high ceilings.

I was singing the lyrics to Drake’s the language as I was getting dressed. As soon as I got dressed Poppi walked in the room.

"Damn nigga can you knock" I shouted.

Poppi chuckled "My bad but I did knock you didn't answer and this is my house so lock your door next time if you don't want me barging in."

I sat down on the bed to put my heels on “Now I know I have to lock my door at all times" I mumbled

"I think I like it better when you keep it unlocked” he folded his arm looking down at me.

I looked up at him with a smirk and rolled my eyes "Boy I was just butt ass naked just a few seconds ago before you barged yo ass in here, if you see me how would you feel" I asked studying his face as it changed expressions.

He just stood there staring down at me for a second then smacked his lips shaking his head "tsss man next time you better lock your door for real shorty" he said walking out the room.

I started laughing. "Wait before you leave” he turned back around holding onto the doorknob.

"What"

I sat up from the bed "Well I was thinking since I'm not on the run no more" Poppi started laughing.

"On the run for what you ain't kill nobody shorty"

I smacked my lips "just let me finish ok" he nodded” well since I don't have a warrant out anymore and  I do have my license, I was wondering can I drive one of your cars. I wouldn't mind taking the mustang anything will do." I asked.

He gave out a loud chuckle "HAHA” then stopped. "No" he answered blankly.

"Come on Poppi I got my license and you got like a hunnit cars why you being like that" I asked stepping closer to him.

"Because shorty why you don't got no car in the first place" He asked

"Because I got into a car crash"

"Exactly" he patted his hand on my head.

I put my hands on my hips "but it wasn't even my fault"

"Yes it was" he nodded his head.

"No it wasn't" I shook my head.

"Didn’t you tell me your car was in the shop?"

"Right"

"But you had car insurance but not full coverage"

"Right" I nod my head.

"So why yo car not out the shop yet"He asked holding his hands in front of him and tilting his head.

"Because the insurance company didn't pay for it and I didn't have the money to get it out that's why" I replied

"Exactly Shorty the insurance didn't pay for it because it was your fault, they paid for the other car to get fixed, now if you had full coverage they would of paid for yo shit to get out"

I rolled my eyes then back at him “Well it was my fault but it was not my fault “Poppi giggled

"That don't even make sense Shorty"

I slightly hit his shoulder "come on Poppi I promise you I can drive I told you I got my L's man"

"What that supposed to mean girl"

I rolled my eyes" Ugh really" I was really getting annoyed” Please don't ruin my happy day." I pouted.

He looked at me giving in. “alright alright. I’ll let you drive"

My eyes shot wide with excitement. “Really?"

"Not" he started busted up laughing. "I'm fucking with you, I'll let you drive one of these days when I'm in the car with you because I don't know how you drive. So not tonight I got to go, Mike will take you wherever you need to go."

I rolled my eyes “yea ok" I sat back down on the bed.

He was about to leave out “Oh yea 4 a.m. I will be home and I expect you to be here when I get here."

"What if I spend the night somewhere" I sat up from zipping up my heels.

"Call me and let me know where you at, if not you better be home when I get here"

I frowned up my eyebrows looking at him up and down "Ugh Poppi no, you are not my daddy,"

"Not yet," He chuckled.

oh he want to be funny
, I thought to myself.

I licked my lips and bit down on my lip "You right," I looked at him down and up.

He squinted his eyes and scrunched up his eyebrows. I tried my hardest not to burst out laughing, and maintained it. He just shook his head and left out the room. I started laughing to myself. I was just fucking with him and wanted to see his reaction.

I finished getting ready and looked in the mirror admiring my outfit. I thought I was too cute.

I grabbed Kiara’s gift I bought her earlier and headed out the door. While in the car on our way to the restaurant where the dinner party was being held, I was on my phone on Facebook passing time.

While scrolling down my newsfeed I got a message from an unknown person that name was unknown person.

I looked at the message and it said "Where the fuck you been,"

I typed back "Who is this,"

Unknown: This Tyrone man where the fuck you at man, I been trying to call you every day, you blocked me on Facebook and twitter, Why the fuck you iggin me man?

Me reading this message made me really upset. I haven't talked to Tyrone after that crazy shit went down. I deleted him from twitter and Facebook. I deleted him out my life and didn't want nothing to do with him anymore.

Me: Nigga don't worry about where the fuck I'm at you ain't my nigga no more you threw me out your house remember.

Unknown person: Man don't play with me Ashley tell me where the fuck you been.

Looking at the message I didn't reply

Unknown person: Look I know I put you out my house I'm sorry but you was wildin and I couldn't take it. I tried looking for you afterward but you was nowhere to be found. Baby I miss you and I just want to talk to you so we can work everything out.

Looking at the message and didn't reply still.

Unknown person: Man yo ass need to stop being childish and tell me where you at so we can talk. Yo ass been ignoring me, it goes straight to voicemail when I call. You on some bullshit and really playing games Ashley.

Me: Nigga ain't nobody playing games with your ass. Ctfu nigga you desperate yo ass really made another Facebook tho. Smh fuck off bitch.

I sent the message then blocked his ass. Ain't nobody got time for that nigga. He did me so dirty and I hate him for it. I didn't ever want to see him ever again.

I was getting mad at myself because I could feel all type of emotions coming up. We pulled up to the restaurant and I pushed all of them emotions to the side. Fuck that, that nigga is not about to have me all fucked up in the head right now. Tonight was going to be a good night and he was not about to ruin it.

Before stepping out the car, I told Mike I’ll call, to let him know when I'm ready to get picked up. I walked inside the restaurant and saw Kieara and a few people sitting at the table.

The restaurant she had her dinner party at was this Mexican place on Melrose called Red O. Visually it's a beautiful restaurant with great al fresco seating out on the front patio. I’ve never eaten here, though.

When I walked up to the table, Keira looked up at me surprised. Kieara shot up and gave me a big hug.

"Omg girl I thought you was in jail somewhere I been trying to call you" she let go of the embrace.

"I know I saw that but I wanted to surprise you" I sat down at the table. "I got arrested for being a runaway," I said laughing.

"OH woooooow" she shook her head.

I looked around the table and there was her boyfriend sitting next to her,  her older sister Tears some guy sitting next to her and a few other people I ain't never seen.

"Hi, you guys" I waved at everyone "Hi" They replied back.

"Where’s your momma," I asked Kieara.

"She at home, she couldn't make it because she wasn't feeling too well."

"Aww ok, I hope she gets better."

"She'd be good," she wave her hand at me. "But girl yea I thought your ass was locked up, Girl I cursed Mr. Johnson ass out. For snitching, he talking about he ain't say nothing he don't know who told."

"Girl it really don't matter anyway, if it wasn't for you persuading me to come to school I’d still be stuck at the house thinking I got a warrant out for killing a bitch." I started laughing.

"Where’s Teeko ass at?" she asked me.

"Girl I don't know I haven't talked to her all day" I replied.

Minutes later Teeko shows up with her girlfriend.

"There she go and she brought her ugly ass girlfriend with her." Kieara whispered to me and we both started laughing.

Kieara always talking about that girl. She wasn't even all that ugly. She was a cute little dark skin girl that had braces and a nice little fat ass. & Every time I see her she always had a banging as weave.
