Volume Eight 

"Every time I wanna be with you and just you, they come." I frowned looking at Saymon. 

"First of all, we could hear you." Q said.

"Second of all, we was here first." Benji added.

"Third, can we get our brother back?" Kee asked. "Like damn."

"This why I liked you and Jennifer relationship, that bitch let you do what you want." Ice said making them laugh.

"Who the fuck is Jennifer?" Saymon laughed.

"The bitch before Sanaa." Ice looked at us blankly. "Sanaa, you know that damn girl you stole her boyfriend."

"Y'all are annoying." I rolled my eyes laughing. 

"Can I be a vegetarian but only eat nuggets?" Dylan asked looking at me.

"No, that's meat."

"But I don't want no other meat."

"You want mine." Benji smirked.

"Cause you chicken nugget?" Ice asked. "Come fuck with this drum stick."

"Y'all are disgusting." I scrunched my face up.

"Dylan, you fucking fathers now?" Reem asked laughing. 

"I been fucking fathers, every damn body gotta kid now and days."

"I don't." Saymon said.

"Not yet." Kee pointed out.

"Not ever, the fuck?" Face looked back from playing the game.

"Why would you fuck that man father?" Reem asked.

"I actually went there to make his little brother eat my pussy but his father answered the door and I swear to God he was the finest man I've ever seen." She smiled. "Imagine Tyrin Turner just muscular and finer with a beard, mann."

"I understand." I smiled making all of them look at me as my smile drop. "I wouldn't do it but I understand."

"Who the fuck is Tyrin Turner?" Mickey asked.

"Caine from Menace to Society." Dylan and I answered in unison. 

"So how this go? You just went in there and told him you wanna fuck?" Reem asked.

"No, I told them about how Keyz and I been together but we've been on the low so we can last and I wanted to surprise him by bringing them to his party. So his father made some hints, I took them then next thing you know his mother standing at the doorway crying while I'm getting dress."

"The fact that you don't even care scare me." Kee shook his head.

"I don't." She shrugged. "I'm all for that tit for tat shit, fuck five bitches? Cool, Imma fuck one and make sure that one make you wanna die."

"I don't care what nobody say, I love you." Ice grabbed her making her laugh.

"One day, I'm going to make you eat my pussy so you can leave me alone." She kissed his cheek then walked in the kitchen.

"I just love that bitch." He looked back shaking his head making us laugh.

"Who the smartest one out of y'all?" I asked.

"We all dumb." Mickey said making all of us laugh as they all agreed. 

"It's Reem though." Face concluded. "When shit hit the fan, we look to him to get us out of shit." 

"Dumbest?" 

"Ice." Every single one of them said including Ice making me laugh.

"Best fighter?" 

"That's between Face and Q." Reem said.

"Best shooter?" 

"Benji." They said in unison.

"Thought it would be Mickey."

"Nah, he the most reckless." Kee chuckled. "He the type to shoot you then stomp ya face out to make sure you unrecognizable."

"The fastest?"

"Reem." They said in unison.

"Technically, that should go to Kee cause Reem African, shit don't count." Ice laughed.

"Shit talker?"

"Ice." They said in unison again.

"Least person to argue?" 

"Terror or Kee." Face said.

"Word, I never heard Terror argue with nobody before." Ice chuckled.

"Or Kee." Mickey added.

"Only person I'm ever arguing with is my baby mother." Kee chuckled.

"The cable man around." Dylan walked in making all them stop laughing.

"What?" Face scrunched his face up. "That gotta be the wrong call."

"It better be the wrong call." Reem said.

"Man, the cable man installing shit." Dylan repeated.

"It's always some bullshit." Benji smacked his teeth.

They all stood up walking out the door, Saymon shook his head running upstairs as I grew confused. He came back down then kissed me on my cheek walking out the door with them, I sighed real loud. How the hell he gon leave me in his house? I stomped my way up the stairs going into his room. 

~ 

"Hey Sonyae." I smiled cuddling with the pillows on the couch.

"Hey Nana." She smiled unclipping her ID from her uniform. 

"Where Say?" 

"Out doing hoodrat things with his hoodrat friends." I rolled my eyes making her laugh as she sat down next to me.

"He always out now, I don't think I ever see him in the house anymore."

"I know, I miss my boyfriend." I frowned. "Between him working then being with his hooligans, it's never just us no more."

"Girl, you gon wish it was like that once y'all have a lot of time in." She rolled her eyes. 

"When you gon get another boyfriend? What happened to Yasim? That was his name right?"

"Apparently, Yasim had a 65 year old wife." She said making me grow in shock.

"Seriously? Do we kill him?" I asked making her laugh.

"Girl no, I told this man to stop contacting me before I get all my sons to beat him up. This nigga gon say damn, how many sons you got? I told him 8 and haven't heard from him since then." She chuckled. "But I have this new man I'm looking into."

"Hmm and how long you've been "looking into" him?" I asked putting quotations making her laugh. 

"A few months now." She smiled. "He's going through a divorce right now so it's a lil complicated but I haven't told Say about him."

"Your secret safe with me." I smiled. "You look happy like you glowing."

"That's that got tired of using plastic to please yourself glow." She said making me cover my mouth in shock laughing.

"Sonyae!" I said throwing my head back laughing as she joined me. 

"What y'all laughing bout?" Saymon asked walking in.

"The t.v." I said as she nodded.

"Ma, you cooked?"

"Boy, I just walked in. Why are you walking in at 12 too?"

"Ma, I'm grown." He looked at her laughing.

"And your grown ass will still get whooped."

"Chill." He chuckled. "Imma order some pizza and wings from that place around the corner."

"Get me some and a salad."

"That sounds so amazing." I pouted. "I want a salad too."

"You never want nothing until you hear somebody else say it." Saymon called out as he walked upstairs.

"Let me know when the food get here, Imma go talk a shower." Sonyae said making me nod.

I stayed downstairs continuing watching my movie since this where I been all day since he left me, I texted my mother who was at work to make sure she knew I was fine and to also make sure she ate. 

"Come the fuck upstairs!" Saymon yelled.

"I'm watching my movie."

"Watch it up here dumb ass."

"Now I'm not going no where." I leaned into the couch.

"If I come down there." He said stopping his sentence as I got up rolling my eyes turning off the t.v, he play too much and I didn't have the energy right now.

"Happy?" I rolled my eyes walking into his room. 

"Why you got a attitude?"

"Because I don't see you no more and when I do, you always gotta leave me."

"It ain't gon be like this for long."

"Mhm." I mumbled grabbing the remote to go back to my movie.

"Lose the tude."

"Get out my face." I moved my head around to pay attention.

"Love talking bout you miss me but wanna waste time arguing and shit." He chuckled laying down next to me. 

"Okay."

He grabbed his phone ignoring me as I did the same, I hugged the pillow getting back into my movie. I was hungry as fuck so I wished the food would hurry up. About five minutes after thinking that, his phone rung as he walked out the room. His phone started ringing again making me grab it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Tell his stupid ass if he don't bring me my ID tomorrow, Imma fuck him up." Face said.

"Why are you always letting him take shit from you?" I laughed.

"Brah, I be high as hell. He fucking play too much and he scratched a number off my license plate so tell him to give me my fucking money to get another one."

"Why you on my phone?" He asked walking in the room with a hand full.

"Put me on speaker, put me on speaker." Face repeated. "I'm on speaker?" 

"Yeah."

"Don't be fucking questioning my sister like that bitch, she could touch whatever the fuck she want."

"Fuck up." 

"Give me my fucking ID, give me my fucking money and watch ya fucking mouth when you talking to my little sister."

"You done?" 

"Tomorrow have all my shit or Imma come to ya job and get you fired bitch." He said hanging up as I laughed.

"Why you watching this again?" He asked handing me my food.

"Because I like the ending." 

"They really did my boy dirty." He shook his head. "Johnny should've won that."

"No seriously or Ash."

"I'm mad you really got me interested in this." He chuckled as we continued watching Sing. "You saw the new Honey with Teyana?" 

"Yes, my sis was so fine." I smiled.

"Facts, that bitch Eva was fine as hell too."

"Calm down big fella." I chuckled as Sing went off.

"These wings taste like heaven."

"This salad taste like heaven." 

"Let me get some."

"Always want something." I put my fork to his mouth.

"That shit do taste good." He chuckled. "Give me some more."

"This why I don't share with you, you always want my stuff."

"So?"

"Anyways." I rolled my eyes going to pick another movie. "We're about to watch Jumanji."

"What?" He scrunched his face up.

"Jumanji, you don't know what that is?"

"You don't know what it is, why the fuck you saying it like that?" 

"Well however you say it." I rolled my eyes. 

"I don't wanna watch that though, find something else."

"You're so annoying, our choices are boss baby, trolls or one of the tinker bells."

"Let's watch Jungle Book, I ain't see that before."

"Me either." I mumbled clicking on it.

"Isn't this nice? Us spending the time you say I never got anymore." He smiled biting into his pizza as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, whatever."

~

I opened my eyes and closed them right back, I was woke but I wasn't ready to wake up. I opened them again to see Saymon was knocked the fuck out, I chuckled because his mouth was wide open. I yawned getting up to brush my teeth, I made sure I cleaned everything then laid back down.

I grabbed my phone seeing my mother texted me back so I texted her back along with checking a few other notifications. I was still getting talked about on Instagram because Janey keep talking about me, I rolled my eyes commenting a bunch of heart eyes.

"Say, you're phone ringing." I hit him but he just turned the other way making me grab it. "Hello?" 

"When ya bitch ass boyfriend wake up tell him that we laying low for the day, we'll talk about why later." Benji said.

"Good morning to you too."

"Unless I'm waking up to you, it ain't a good morning." He flirted making me laugh.

"Bye Benji."

"Bye to you too beautiful." He said before I hung up.

"I'll knock ya braces loose." Saymon mumbled making me laugh.

"I did nothing wrong." I chuckled as he got up going in the bathroom. 

"What time is it?" 

"11." 

"Ain't too late, I gotta go see Reem for some-"

"Benji said y'all are laying low today sooo."

"I still gotta go see Reem, I'm not going to be long."

"That's what you always say." I rolled my eyes going onto his Instagram from his phone.

"You wanna come with me then?"

"No."

"Then shut up."

I actually did shut up, not because he said so but because I didn't have nothing else to say. I laid back scrolling through his Instagram, he had some fine ass followers. As I was watching people days a text came through.

"Um, who's Manny and why she calling you baby?" I asked.

"What?" 

"You heard me."

"I don't know no girl named Manny."

"Oh you don't? Y'all seem to know each other real well with all these messages."

"Let me see." He walked out the bathroom grabbing his phone, he furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh this Ice shawty."

"So why she texting you?"

"Because Ice gave her my number, his baby mother be going through his shit and you know he live with her right now because somebody burned his apartment up."

"I don't believe you." I shrugged.

"I'm being honest and if you don't believe me then you just don't because I don't know what to tell you."

"It's cool, you lose em how you get em right?" 

"I'm not arguing with you." He chuckled. "I refuse to."

"It's not arguing because if I was using the excuse you wouldn't believe me either."

"Nah, I would because I trust you but it's cool Sanaa. You have ya doubts or whatever."

"Okay." I shrugged.

Something was just telling me don't believe him so I wasn't, it sounded too fishy but if I was wrong then I'll just apologize but for right now I'm not. I stood up going to put my pants on and my shoes as he walked into his closet not paying me no mind.

"Are you going to take me home or do you want me to call a Lyft?" 

"I'll take you." He walked passed me grabbing his phone as I followed him.

"Bye Sonyae, I'll see you later." I hugged her.

"Bye baby."

"Do you want something to eat before you go home?" Say asked once we got in the car.

"I'm fine."

~

"What you doing Bubs?" Face asked walking into my room. 

"Nothing."

"Why you not with Ter? Y'all niggas always together."

"We had a heated discussion so we're not really the coolest plus he at work so we ain't really talk."

"Had to say heated discussion cause you know he not arguing with you." Face chuckled. "What happened?" 

"Some girl named Manny texted him calling him baby and shit."

"Manny?" He furrowed his eyebrows. "Ice bitch?"

"That's the excuse he used."

"That's not a excuse Bubs, Ice got bitches but it's three he really fucks with. Manny, Ella and Jo. He text Manny off Terror shit, Ella off mine and Jo off of Reem's. His baby mother be on some fake crazy shit so he got to do this until his shit get back fixed."

"So he wasn't lying." I shook my head feeling bad.

"Why you ain't just ask Ice his self? Or go through the messages? The way Ice talk to bitches is weird, you would've known it wasn't him." 

"He's calling me now." I chuckled answering. "Hello?"

"Your boyfriend annoying the shit out of me, Manny is my bitch. I text her fine ass-"

"Cause of ya baby mother, I heard." I cut him off.

"Aight bet good, his whining ass outside ya door. Go get him so he could leave me the fuck alone."

"Aye bitch, where you at?" Face yelled out. 

"Riding round bout to go to Manny friend house."

"Kelly?" Face smiled as I walked out.

"Guessing you spoke to Ice." Saymon chuckled walking in.

"I apologize, I was wrong." 

"That's all I want, we don't gotta dwell on the situation." He shrugged as I smiled hugging him.

"This why we work."
