Ch. 2

Huey:

"Jazmine" he yelled what in the hell was going on, why did she just take off like that see this is why he hated going to parties because something was always going on had it been up to him, he would have been sitting at home drinking a cup of black coffee and watching CNN and staring at the tv screen angrily thinking of all the black injustice going on today. With those fools going stupid over those damn Jordan's he sure the ignorance was at an all-time high today.

"Is she alright" Ming said, looking concerned holding the small box in her hand. "I hope so once I find out what's going on" Huey said, scowling trying to hide his concern. "I want to thank you again Ming I should really be paying you something for this, " he said as she handed him the small box. He opened it inside was a beautiful 20 carat heart shaped diamond engagement ring Huey had been planning to ask Jazmine to marry him for some time now, but the time just never seen right and that's when Ming and Caesar gave him the idea to propose to her on Christmas day he didn't want to at first because he didn't really want to take shine away from Riley's and Cindy's engagement Riley had purposed the week of ahead. And now they were having this big engagement slash Christmas party waste of money in his opinion.

"It's really no problem huey, after what you did for me and Caesar consider it a big gift you helped us out in so many ways and Caesar wouldn't be able to get over his addiction had it not been for you" Ming said thankfully as they both watched Caesar carry a bag full of gifts from his car. "Its' no problem I would have helped either way, but really ming you really feel that comfortable giving me this ring that cost three thousand dollars with no payment for free" Huey said unsure it just didn't feel right. He thought, looking at the beautiful ring.

"Yes freeman because I will be charging you for the wedding bands consider this a flavor and the only Christmas gift you'll ever get from me" Ming said, smiling amused and irritated Huey decided to drop the subject Ming had a nasty attitude when she got too annoyed. Huey thought. "Thanks, " he said gratefully tucking the ring in his coat pocket. "Aye, why we standing in the cold, let's get inside so I can see the look on jazzy face when she see that ring" Caesar said smiling swinging his long dreads. As he came up to them.

"That might have to be put on delayed since she's just left" Huey said, scowling "what why?" Caesar said, frowning. "We don't know babe that's what we're trying to figure out" Ming said shrugging. "Well call her and find out what's going on I worked hard making that damn ring that's my best work and I wanna see her expression" Caesar said "Huey rolled his eyes and called Jazmine's cell but it went straight to voicemail. Why wasn't she picking up he thought.

His question was answered quickly as he has seen Riley and Cindy approaching him with rayonna and Timmy in towed looking angry. Except Timmy, he just looked confused matter fact, what was rogers doing here anyway if he had anything to with Jazmine leaving, this would be his last Christmas Huey thought clenching his fist.

"Huey, what did your gay ass do now" Riley said furiously. Huey rolled his eyes, "I don't know riley you tell me" Huey said sarcastically. Riley snorted "babe is this big haired Negro getting smart with me" Riley said angrily looking at a very angry Cindy. "Looks like it to me babe" Cindy said. Huey sighed and faceplamed himself. "Could both of you dummies just tell me why Jazmine just stormed away like a bat in hell" he said getting frustrated now.

"Sure since you out here cheating on her damn, I can't believe you freeman jazzy moves all the way from Boston and back home to be with your ass and you out here cheating on her with Mulan" Cindy said hotly gesturing to Ming with extreme dislike. "What!" Huey said, looking shocked "excuse me Barbie" Ming said looking extremely insulted. "Bitch you heard me if I wasn't pregnant I'll kun fu both ya'll asses right now" Cindy said snapping back. "Ok, what the hell is going on here" Caesar said, looking at both Huey and Ming with narrowed eyes.

"I love to see you try Britney spears" Ming retorted back coldly, "okay, that's it babe hold my earrings Cindy said snatching her earrings out and tying her blonde hair back. "Don't do it babe we can't afford no more charges that last ass whopping you did on the store clerk last week almost got us locked up" Riley said holding her back. Huey rolled his eyes at the scene.

"That was because that he didn't want to give us twenty percent on those damn Christmas ornaments what the hell I look like spending eighty bucks when the store offering a damn sale" Cindy said getting heated. "ENOUGH" Huey yelled, getting very annoyed. They all stared at him, startled. "Now tell me what the hell is going on, " he said starting to get angry himself. "Man calm yo ass down all that yelling if I lose my damn hearing imma beat your ass" Riley said scowling. "Riley" Huey warned through clenched teeth.

"Okay nigga calm down well Jazmine come bursting into the house getting that snow all on our nice wood floors dripping snow all over the place and shit almost bumping into me about to make spill that henny on my expensive ass shirt crying and going on looking a hot ass mess too" Riley said. "RILEY" they all yelled at him impatient with him, wanting him to get to the point. "Aye, all shut up or I'm not telling y'all nothing" Riley said scowling. "Babe" Cindy said, pushing him looking annoyed. "Alright damn so I ask her what's wrong and then when she said" Riley said remembering the flashback.

Riley:

"Yes I can't wait to test this bad boy after all the money I spent on these high ass Christmas trees and decorations I need a buzz Cindy got it looking like a winter wonderland on crack in here Riley said, shaking his head at the surroundings as he lifted the glass of Henny to his lips but he didn't get to because Jazmine bumped right into him. "Damn Mariah you could spill this henny on my good shit" he said angry looking at her, but his expression change quickly when he saw her face Jazmine looked a mess, tears were streaming down her face, snot bubbles were forming at its highest capacity she looked like somebody told her Santa clause was dead or something. "Who did it, " he said ready to kick the nigga's ass who made his sister cry going into brother mood jazzy was like a sister to him so whoever hurt they had to deal with him.

Your brother is out here cheating on me and I can't stay after what I just saw" Jazmine said sobbing. "Huh, what" Riley said, looking confused Huey cheating on Jazmine what in the hell was this girl talking about Riley said scratching his head. As he watched Jazmine snatched her purse and leave. "jazmine wait" he yelled after her.

And that's what happened" Riley said finishing staring angrily at his brother Riley always considered himself to be the one to be cheat, but Cindy had his heart and had him tied down. He was truly disappointed in Huey Jazmine was annoying sometimes, but she was a good woman and he was out here doing her wrong with rice cake he thought angrily. Looking at him

"Huey narrowed his eyes "that's is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard I would never cheat on Jazmine" Huey said, looking baffled "I can't tell nigga I mean you out here with eggroll looks mighty suspicious to me" Riley said snorting. "Hey, watch how you talk to my wife" Caesar said cutting in angrily. "Damn freeman you are cheating on her with a married woman" Cindy said looking stunned. "Damn this sounds better than young and the restless" rayonna said, shaking her head at the scene. "Dang bro, you bold and the woman's husband here and y'all all out in the open with this that's disrespectful" Riley said shaking his head

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOBODY IS CHEATING ON ANYBODY" Huey yelled, throwing his arms in the air. Ming was just giving me an engagement ring to give to Jazmine I'm going to propose to her and I would never mess with another man's wife or any woman period I love Jazmine" Huey said turning red with anger. "Okay, that still doesn't explain why she thinks you cheated on her" Cindy said firmly folding her arms. "Oh god," Ming said, slapping her forehead. "What?" Huey said, getting on edge. "I kissed you on the cheek, remember she must have seen that and assumed we were kissing she probably saw it on the wrong angle" Ming said apologetically.

"Of course" Huey said, shaking his head. Jazmine probably thought he and Ming were kissing and Jazmine was the type to run without getting any evidence she was very impulsive. "Still sounds like cheating to me" Cindy said with full attitude. Was there no limit to this white girl "Yeah, why did you kiss him on the cheek Ming" Caesar said looking suspicious. "For the love of god you people I'm surrounded by idiots I was thanking him for being there when you were going through your problems it was a thank you friend kiss on the cheek and that's all it was there is nothing going on with me and freeman Jazmine just assumed the wrong thing" Ming said getting fed up her black blue eyes angry. "Oh, sorry love" Caesar said, looking embarrassed.

"This is why I keep my ass at home for the holidays" Huey said shaking his head. "Damn my bad bro" Riley said, looking embarrassed. "Yeah, sorry freeman and Ming I guess we got too caught up" Cindy said looking sheepish. "You think" Huey said sarcastically frowning as he tried to call Jazmine again, but it went straight to voice mail again "damn" he muttered. "Can't get in contact with her Ming," said looking worried. "Unfortunately no I hate when she's gets stubborn like this" Huey said shaking his head tired.

"She probably at her new apartment" Cindy suggested. "Do you know where she is?" Huey said eagerly looking at her. "No, I hadn't had a chance to ask her yet" Cindy said shaking her head. "Damn" the group muttered. "I believe I know where it is" Timmy said, speaking up for the first time. "Where and why" Huey said, narrowing his eyes at the man Timmy rolled his eyes, " she lives in cherry woods by the wuncler's mall and she living in my building" Timmy said quietly.

Just perfect Jazmine was living in the same apartment building as her ex. Huey thought very irritated he better make a claim on his woman or else who knows what will happen. "I'm going to see Jazmine if she won't answer my calls she have to see me in person" Huey said grabbing his car keys out of his pocket. "We're coming to" Cindy said yelling behind him. "Whatever" Huey said as walked to his car. He noticed rayonna and Timmy arguing intently with each other what the hell did they have going on. He thought as he got in his car and started his engine.

He just prayed Jazmine didn't act dramatic like she did at prom, he thought going into a flashback when they were in high school.
