Caesar, Caesar CAESAR !, I hope you can all exhale a little after this chapter
Thanks to my regular reviewers Paige1292,HelloKitty333 and MzMinni3 and everyone else who's reading and may not have gotten round to reviewing yet it's all appreciated.
Paige1292 : The review you left was entertaining LOL I can definitely tell that Rome and Tom are on your hit list, love it
I'm lax with the whole disclaimer thing, I just write, edit and post, but yeah whilst I remember
DISCLAIMER : I DON'T OWN BOONDOCKS JUST MY OCS
Huey yawned; he didn't get much sleep last night. In fact he didn't sleep at all. He couldn't believe that shit with granddad. His chest inflated with more bitterness and anger, then his altercation with Rome. Why was everything fucking up for him. He really needed to get focused and just do the right things again he was clearly slacking. He let out a shallow breath
He sat behind the counter down the side of the store, rewiring a guitar. He didn't really have to do it but he just needed a distraction. He found his teeth grinding against each other as he thought more and more about last night.
Tom had a damn nerve, he was going to show him up in court then he hoped he got sacked for being incompetent in the court of law against an 18 year old African American who was also a retired domestic terrorist. He frowned as Jazmine passed his thoughts; ok maybe Tom could keep his job he didn't want to disrupt her family life anymore than he was obviously doing.
"I never thought I'd say I prefer your normal foul mood to this black foul mood" he looked up to see his manager looking at him. The white man called Jedd with Travis barker style tattoos all over him looked down at him waiting for a response. He picked something imaginary out of his eyelash before responding.
"Yeah because I'm happy go lucky normally" he replied sarcastically.
"Man your just emitting bad vibes dawg" Jedd replied, oh he forgot about all that karmic vibrations crap this guy was on.
"Then step out of my damn zone" Huey replied annoyed, Jedd threw his hands up in the air in mock offence.
"If I didn't like you, I'd fire you. Plus you attract a few more cuties than we had before" Huey rolled his eyes
Huey eyes narrowed, he had lost control last night that almost never happened. He was more worried by the lack of remorse he felt for it, Tom had it coming and granddad to. If someone came in his house disrespecting Riley or his grandfather no matter what the difference of opinion between them personally was, he'd have their backs. He however was just left out in the cold, like some unwanted toy. Familiar feelings from his post parent childhood began to surface, those damn group homes they were in before granddad got off his ass and took responsibility.
He resisted the urge to just throw the guitar half way across the store room.
"Yow some pretty young thing is asking for you" one of his colleagues call from the front desk.
"Tell em I'm busy" he replied loudly, he didn't have the patience for some clueless girl with a kid, trying to spend his paycheque. After a few moments, the chubby Latino guy walked down to where he was seated.
"Why you such an anti social motherfucker, yo she saying she aint leaving till she sees you", he looked at Pedro who shrugged
"Aiight till you come through, Ima holla at her" Pedro told him
"Yeah as if any girl that comes in here looking for me, will give you the time of day" Huey said as if it was fact.
"Nigga you aint shit" Pedro told him, Huey shrugged and got up to meet his mystery visitor.
He removed his headphones. He would go insane if it was a a basic female. Instead as he saw a certain honey blondish locks, before he could feel good about this visit he saw another one of the guys who worked there talking to her, well more than that he was checking her out. Bastard. Huey finally came into view, he looked him in the eye and tried to warn him to just resume his workload but this dude didn't get it. He let out a loud sigh
"Don't you have work to do" he asked him.
The latino guy looked at him, as if to say why you cock blocking. Jazmine turned around to face him and they shared eye contact. It wasn't on purpose but he was pretty private about his relationship with her, she rarely came to his work place so there was no real need for anyone to know that she was his girlfriend. That didn't stop him from feeling like punching a nigga in the throat for even speaking to her in a suggestive tone.
"Hey" she finally said, her eyes looked a little red like she had been crying and this made him angry on the inside.
"Are you deaf" Huey asked as the latino guy stood there still. He mean mugged him and muttered under his breath he gave Jazmine a small smile and left to the other stalls in the record shop. Huey looked too see where his manager was but assumed he was probably in the stock room.
"We need to talk" Jazmine told him, he nodded in understanding. Then looked at the time, he didn't have lunch for another hour but he'd make an exception and exceed his already bad attitude for the day and take it early.
"Huey are you supposed to be" she started but he just hurried her in front of him
"Don't ask questions you know the answers too" Huey told her firmly, he heard her sigh but she walked on in front of him and out of the shop. He turned to that latino dude who tried to holla at his girl earlier
"I'll be back, family emergency" he half lied.
Huey and Jazmine walked for a few minutes and luckily the record shop he worked at was situated in an ok area, with a parking area to eat lunch and stare at nature's gifts. He was pretty hungry seeing as he came home last night and didn't eat a damn thing cos of the argument and then left Romes so early. He weren't really feeling so hungry before, he was more focused on his anger but seeing Jazmine kind of drained a little of that and his hunger set in.
"Over here" he said pointing towards a sandwich stand,
She waited for him as he paid for a baguette and a bottle of water. She declined his offer of buying her anything and he somewhat felt this conversation was going to be difficult. He heard her phone ringing but she ignored it and eventually just switched it off. Damn this was serious.
Once they sat she looked at him, he didn't look at her for some reason he couldn't. He felt her eyes on him and more moments passed before she broke the silence
"Huey why did you do it" Jazmine voice was filled with sadness and disappointment, he cringed on the inside.
"I didn't feel like normal sandwich, baguettes are better" he replied, reverting to being a jerk, he always did this when he assumed she was disappointed with him it was easier to deal with letting her down this way. His suspicions confirmed she exhaled loudly and her eyebrows met in the middle.
"Huey you know what I'm talking about" he cringed more, he wish she stopped calling his name and call him something loving like she did even though he protested against it , or at least say his name lovingly.
"I was hungry" he replied flatly.
"For fuck sake Huey, are you actually going to play this game with me" she swore, yeah she was mad. He took a bite out of his sandwich and dared to look at her. She was angry, her eyes accused him of doing wrong which was true.
"What do you want" he said flippantly, she rolled her eyes and glared at him.
He figured he needed to get a grip, the relationship couldn't have made him this soft so soon, could it ? He felt an arm going around his shoulders and twisting his head gently towards her. Her lips grazed his faintly. He wanted more but she had already retreated.
"Talk to me, tell me what's going on" she pleaded. He closed his eyes for a moment, he smelt her and felt her.
"Nothing" he replied, she wasn't convinced as she pulled back to look at him.
"Don't lie to me, not after everything's that happened in the last few days" she requested sadly.
"I'm not lying. Nothing is going on" he said strongly
"Huey you hit your grandfather and threatened my dad" she revealed, Riley and his big mouth.
"Your dad, was acting a damn fool coming in my house telling me I'm not to go near you again" Huey snapped quickly, his anger flaring instantly. She didn't seem to be too effected by his outburst but she did put a calming hand on his forearm.
"So that doesn't makes it ok to hurt your grandfather" she concluded.
"Jazmine I know you've noticed my busted lip, that nigga" he started but was cut off abruptly
"Stop, Huey what's, what's wrong with you. Why are you calling him that" Jazmine asked confused and he was also confused. What was she saying, he was talking about his granddad what didn't she get about that.
"I don't understand" he admitted, scanning her green eyes for something that would give him understanding.
"Riley said you totally disrespected your grandfather", she explained sadly not looking at him now. Which annoyed him, what else had that loud mouth brother of his said, seriously he couldn't catch a break.
"He disrespected himself" Huey hissed. She looked like she wanted to say something but she didn't, instead she took one of his hands and held it.
"Huey, are you ok" she asked him, but he didn't really understand her question, sure he was fine but he knew that wasn't what she was asking.
"I'm fine" he decided not to mention he was hungry just in case she flipped and threw his lunch away. Angry Jazmine did some very unnecessary things.
"What's with your dad, what did I do" he asked her, now she was the one who was annoyed
"You didn't do anything, he thinks you're a bad influence and that it compromises his position as an ADA if we date" Jazmine voice held resentment and sadness. He frowned, Tom was a dumbass.
"This is a mess" Huey more told her than asked, she nodded
"Why did you leave home" Jazmine asked him completely off topic, he rolled his eyes he hardly left home.
"I just needed to clear my head. Jaz should you even be here" he looked at her with some concern.
"Huey I don't care what he says, I'm not just going to stop seeing you cos he doesn't want to be associated with you" Jazmine told him confidently
"Yeah well the way he was talking, he sounds like he'll do some crazy legal shit. Look I don't want you to get into trouble, let me just figure this out" he told her she shook her head no.
"He's messing with me too you know"
"Jaz, let me handle it" Huey had so much to deal with he just didn't want his relationship to blow up in his face at the hands of that dumbass Tom. Then trailed her hands up the middle of his chest to around his neck and kissed him deeply. He closed his eyes as he allowed himself to revel in her embrace.
"You know how I get when I'm away from you for too long" she said in that damn baby voice. This girl affected him way too much for her own good. He kissed her again
"Won't you miss me" Jazmine asked again still speaking like a 5 year old. He rolled his eyes
"Tom just needs to calm down; he's not the smartest tool in the box. I mean you still got your phone right" he asked her, she nodded
"You still got the internet" he asked, she nodded again
"So we'll be alright for a week or so. It's not like I'm with you for your body" Huey told her, his last part light hearted to make her smile, she frowned
"No" she told him, he looked confused
"Jaz it'll only be a week, besides I wanna see how well you work your new web cam" he said, she blushed at his suggestion.
"You're naughty Huey" she said he had to suppress his laughter as her next question came.
"What about my birthday party" she asked him seriously, pulling back from him.
"My case is that day so seeing as I didn't want to go anyway it all works out" her eyes became slits,
"You're jokes are not appreciated" Jazmine warned
"I don't joke" Huey raised his brow
"Boo Boooooo you have to come" she whined, he looked at her seriously
"You do understand there are more important things on my mind other than your party" Huey stated in disbelief of her behaviour.
"Oh so you don't care about my birthday" Huey looked at his watch
"If I didn't have a birthday, I wouldn't even be your girlfriend cos I wouldn't exist so" she begun pouting and huffing like the brat she could be
"Jazmine" he just shut her dramatising there and then. She didn't appreciate this
"My breaks almost over" he announced, she sighed deeply and looked into his eyes,
"If they find you guilty, will, will they send you to jail" her voice trembling
"Don't think about that ok" he touched her cheek with his hand.
"Why you at Rome's didn't we talk about him, come back home and apologise to your granddad" she kind of accused and ordered.
"NO" he said defiantly. Whoa role reversal. He calmed himself.
"Huey I want you come back to the street, and why wont you apologise to your granddad you" he cut her off
"I'm not apologising to him" he was adamant
"Will you come back for me, I want to see you tonight" her voice was a little softer now.
"What did I just say to you", he asked annoyed
"Huey, stop being stubborn just come home. We really need to talk" she told him, he was confused didn't they just talk
"Tom won't let you out the house" Huey told her, she rolled her eyes
"Like that's ever stopped me before" she said,
"Oh sorry bad ass" Huey replied sarcastically, she hit him
"Shut up Huey, do you want me to come or not" she asked, now disengaging her arms from him and folding them across her chest.
"I can't stand to be around that place right now" he told her truthfully, he was just annoyed with the whole situation, he just wanted some space.
"Just go home, I'm not going to guilt you into talking to anyone just yet and I'll come see you tonight, it may be real late though" she warned,
"So you want me to wait up for you and what if you don't come, I'll be 8 hours out of sleep again" he said
"I will come, baby I promise" she told him and gave him a peck.
"My breaks done, come on" he told her getting up. His half eaten lunch would just have to finished later. He put it in the plastic bag and they began walking back.
Jazmine looked at Huey, she didn't like the way he spoke or referred to his grandfather. She understood he was angry and stressed with all that's going on and she felt bad because her dad just added more fuel to that fire. Mr Freeman didn't deserve that treatment from him regardless of what his position was on the whole 'banning' situation. It wasn't like Huey to call his granddad a nigga as if he was just a random guy on the road, that wasn't Huey. She may have to ask Riley exactly what was said in the exchange she had a feeling he wouldn't tell her. Hopefully tonight she could get him to open up to her, providing her dad doesn't set up camp in her room to ensure she doesn't try to sneak out. She hoped Huey was right and it would all blow over in a week and her dad would apologise and grovel. She didn't know if she was ready to forgive him for that bitch comment, she figured she wouldn't tell Huey that, he'd probably attack him in court and definitely get sent to jail. Then some wide back man with tattoos and bad breath would try and make Huey his wife. No, Huey was too pretty to go to jail. She giggled; Huey would kill her if he could read her mind.
"What's funny" she heard his velvety smooth voice, she smirked
"Nothing" she said sweetly, that raised eyebrow was a default expression for him. Then he stopped and encircled her waist with one his arms, she looked up at him placing her hands on his chest.
"Yes" she asked him batting her eyelashes innocently.
"You promise, I'll see you tonight" he asked her now, she smiled. Huey generally didn't care about promises, he would always tell her they were stupid and that you couldn't control promises the way people would like to think. He said promises only tempted people to break them, because of the pressure they put on themselves to keep that said promise which only makes the universe add more obstacles that will eventually stop that promise from being fulfilled and breaking it. So she was taken back when he actually wanted her to follow through with hopeless verbal contract as he said.
"Cross my heart and hope to die" he rolled his eyes and let her go, she laughed at his response
"That's a stupid thing to say" he said, but thankfully they reached his record shop and he wouldn't lecture her on the faults of that phrase. She grinned
"See you later" he said,
"Where's my kiss" she questioned
"You made a promise; I'll give it to you when that is fulfilled" Huey told her as he walked into the shop. She glared at his back, but turned to leave all the same.
Caesar couldn't believe he was still here, what the hell
As both boys become aware of what just happened, Romes eyes were wide, a little girl lay on the side walk a pool of blood collecting underneath. They could hear the sirens and Rome took off, Caesar was stunned as stood thinking he had been shot. Rome stopped momentarily at the little girl who was probably dead because of the stray she caught. And continued to run, people were starting to come outside and notice and a mothers cries could be heard, Caesar noticed the stares cming his way and panicked pushing out of the small crowd. As he power walked away from the group he couldn't believe this shit was happening. What had Rome done.
"That's him, that guy there he did this" He heard on of the bystanders say out loud, he turned back to look at a group of men fast approaching him. He stupidly thought he could explain himself and everything would be alright. He was so wrong.
Caesar looked at he stone walls, this was not happening, he had not just been arrested under the suspcion of murder. This was crazy, first Huey and now him. He buried his hands in his head as he looked at the cage filled with other offenders. Man he didn't kill anyone, shit he couldn't even watch horror films alone. This was fucked up,
"You can make your call now" one of the police clerks said unlocking the door and escorting him out to the phone booth. After some questioning they decided to detain him until bail could be posted. His damn prints better not have been on that gun, but Rome ran off like the punk he is before the crowd really got going. He was wearing the blue shirt that was apparently called into the police station. He didn't trust police they could frame him or something you know a little kid was killed, and in the midst of the criticism they were receiving they couldn't just let another minority slip through the cracks. Someone had to be made an example of, whether that Huey and now unfortunatly him. He picked up the phone, who did he call, he wanted to call Huey he wanted to warn him about Rome and all the shit he said about Tom and especially Jazmine but he wasnt sure he'd pick up. Sasha said she didn't receive a response from him when she sent him the messages early in the morning. Riley would tell him some basic shit like 'don't drop the soap nigga'.
"Hello"
"Ceez where are you, did you hear some lil girl got shot up"
"Look Cindy, you gotta come get me I'm in jail"
"WHATTT" Cindy exclaimed, he heard Sasha in the background asking what was going on
"Look" he looked around and lowered his voice
"I confronted Rome, he had a gun, he tried to shoot me but I must, babe just come get me they'll be releasing me soon I'll explain cos this shit is real serious"
"He killed somoene, o shit. Ok me and Sasha are coming ok, have you told the police"
"Mann they don't believe me, they probably just think they got one nigga whats the point in going to search for the right nigga"
"They aint charge you though"Cindy asked
"No but they gonna bring me back for questioning once forensics and shit gets back cos they aint enough to go on right now part from being at the scene"
"FUCK" Cindy said, "I'm coming, just sit tight" she told him and he thanked her. Looking at the cop who took him back to the public cell. He once again buried his head in his hands.
Time really felt like it was crawling but he was finally free to walk, for now. He saw Cindy and Sashas puzzled and concerned looks
"I feel like I'm in a universe, both you and Huey got arrested in less than a week and Riley is an angel" Sasha expressed
"Trust me, this shit is so fucked. But where Huey and Jaz at. Listen to this, Rome is crazy" He started as they walked out the station he waited until they were in Cindys car before explaining the whole ordeal to them. Once he finished, they sat shocked
"Who's down to throw Mr. Dubois under a bus, no one ever has to know cos all this shit over a case is insane" Sasha said clearly irritated
"Sash we can't kill Jazzys dad" Sasha pulled a sad face
"What we gonna do, kill Rome" Cindy asked Caesar, who shook his head
"Yall need to chill on the whole killing front yeah, we gotta be smart and quick. Cos the way this nigga was following Jazmine looked like he would have taken her out today, in broad fucking daylight. Where Jaz at" he asked
"She's at home, she used us to go see Huey but she text me earlier saying she was home now" Cindy informed him
"I want to warn her but I don't want her to freak out she got a lot going on right now" Cindy continued
"We gotta tell Huey, you think he still at work" Sasha asked,
"Aiight lets go, I'll talk him yeah and Sasha keep talking to Rome or whatever you guys do, he probably figure I won't tell or be locked or something" Caesar told her, she nodded
"Damn I liked that guy too" Sasha said shrugging, Cindy rolled her eyes
"You got bad taste"
"Focus yeah" Caesar said annoyed, he could have died, Jazmine could have died and a little girl did die so he was just on edge because if they didn't find
"YO HUEY, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU AINT TALKING TO ME, THAT NIGGA ROM GONNA HURT JAZMINE, HE JUST KILLED SOMEONE", Huey turned up his face at the message he just received from Caesar before hearing his name being called, slinging his bag over his shoulder
Caesar practically ran down to the record shop where Huey was working to see him leaving the establishment
"YOOOO" he shouted, Huey turned and looked at him a normal blank expression on his face
"You get my message, yo wheres Jazzy" Caesar asked quickly
"At home" he answered shortly
"Yo Romes crazy, man hes gonna try kill her" Huey eyebrows shot up
"What the hell are you talking about" Huey voice was monotonous, Caesar started to run down all the stuff Rome had let him in on and Huey frowned etched deeply in his face
"He's talking out his ass" Huey started
"Nigga he tried to shoot me, but his aim was off nigga he caught a little girl,and shes dead" Caesar stressed.
"Caesar go home, I can handle Rome" Huey seemed to inhaled deeply and then said simply and turned away from his friend Caesar dragged Huey back
"Nigga are you crazy or something. He's out for revenge and you telling me you got that. Yo he was following Jazmine on her way to see you. Don't you believe me or something nigga what's wrong with you" Caesar was basically shouting desperatly like a crazy person.
"I heard you Caesar, has he got the gun" Huey asked Caesar, Caesar didn't really remember he didn't see him, but he was more focused on the little girl.
"I don't remember" Caesar admitted but he was pretty sure he had to have the gun, otherwise the police would have shown it to him when they were questioning him, or maybe they sent it off to forensics.
"He can't really do shit, he's hot and besides I'm gonna be with Jaz tonight so nothing will happen"
"SOMEONE DIED HUEY" then he realised what he had said and brought his voice down.
"Look Caesar I got a million and one things on my mind right now. I said I can deal with Rome and as for him shooting someone, man call the police or something, they already took you in why didn't you tell them" he told him more firmly
"He wants to hurt Tom and he's gonna use Jazmine to do it but if you too fucking proud to admit you were wrong about that nigga then fine, be a dumbass and watch your girl perish" Caesar said harshly
"Caesar I didn't say that and this is definitely not about being wrong, damn what is your problem. All you been doing is putting a nigga down any chance you get" Huey accused.
"I'm telling you this nigga aint safe, we gotta get him before he does something that can't fucking stray, yo this nigga tried to kill me, and killed someones child don't you care, I mean you could down down, I could go down over this niggas fuck ups" Caesar asked his friend. Huey gave Caesar a weird look
"Look, just got home" Huey stated, Caesar face palmed and lost it grabbing Huey roughly.
"ROME IS GOING TO HURT JAZMINE, MAYBE NOT TODAY BUT HE IS GOING TO DO IT WE HAVE TO ACT NOW" Caesar practically yelled in his face. Huey scrunched up his face looking at his friend
"Now you're all for this pro active shit huh" Huey then said, he couldn't believe it
"NIGGA I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR ACTING LIKE THIS, CUT THE BULLSHIT ALREADY" Caesar yelled, people were beginning to stare
"Calm down Caesar" he picked up his phone and began to dial
"Where are you" Huey asked first into the phone,
"You leaving the house again at all today" he asked again
"Good, I'll see you later" Huey said and put his phone back in his pocket
"Jazmines just at home being the lazy bum she is, shes fine" Caesar scoffed at Huey's revelation
"You're stupid" Caesar spat
"Not now" Huey urged darkly
"Yeah now, that nigga is not well. I watched him he so fixated on this shit, he needs to be assessed by one of the mental health doctors" Caesar said,
"Ok, Caesar. I get it, what would you like me to do" Huey asked him in an annoyed tone
"Act like you got some goddamn sense" Caesar snapped
"I don't have to hear this shit, I said Jazmine will be fine" Caesar crossed his arms over his chest and then muttered
"Man whatever" He said and walked off.
Caesar was annoyed he nearly got shot because of Huey's friend all because he was looking out for Huey. Huey was clearing just acting a fool. Like damn what else did this nigga need to know to know he screwed up. Caesar continued to vente until he got back to the car
"What happened" Sasha asked
"Just drive, we gonna handle this" Caesar said in a low tone that they had not heard him use, Cindy didn't protest but started up the car.
Caesar was so pissed off, that nigga actually tried to shoot him and then he hurt someones baby. What the fuck was wrong with him. He had to warn Jazmine about this shit after all that stuff Rome said about her father. Who the hell cares, his father was a dumbass and Tom was doing his damn job. That in no way is a reason to kill someone's daughter or attempt to.
Tom frowned as he looked over some paper work, did they really need to push this. His little girl had not spoken to him since the argument he felt bad, he shouldn't have said what he said but he was just trying to protect her. Huey was even more crazy than he anticipated, where did he get off threatening him like that. Jazmine was his damn daughter and he's lucky he even let her within a mile of her in the first place. He rubbed his temples; his mother in law had been asking questions about the amount of stray kids running through his house, she was sure she was just more focused on Riley and Sasha rather than Cindy. God he couldn't control who she was friends with as well. Sarah was mad at him as well, there was just too much going on, and he couldn't take this. He felt like aborting this case and flying out to a small island
Huey walked into the house he heard the TV on, and walked in expecting to see Riley watching BET or some other garbage, instead he saw his granddad. Who was already mid sentence addressing Riley when he saw him, they just stared. Huey mouth seemed to clamp shut, he saw the small plaster above granddads eyebrow and twisted inwardly. He couldn't take much more of that and turned back out and went to his room. Once he threw his bag in the corner, he opened it up and brought out his dinner. He really just wanted to be left alone so he made sure he bought his dinner before he reached home. He took out his phone seeing a message from Jazmine, it was just a typical message of her saying she loved him. He rolled his eyes and just put the TV on and opted for anything other than
news.
Huey thought about how he treated Caesar earlier, he wasn't too proud to admit he was wrong, he really did just have so many things going on. Now Rome wanted to be some insane revenge weirdo, trying to kill his girlfriend. He tried to shoot Caesar, and killed someones child instead. Fuck that might be added to his list of crimes, he pulled at his afro a little. He had to think of a plan, he had to put Rome away once and for good but he'd be no good if he was locked up in jail now would he, so Caesar just needed to get a grip and stop panicking. Rome wouldn't so much as touch a hair on Jazmines head, he'd easily catch a case if that nigga even attempted to harm his woman.
After a while he decided he should start his reading, he had been to library and got some law books. There was no way he was going to let some shit public defender get him a criminal record. He was going to represent himself. There was a knock at his door, he sighed if it was Riley he would have just burst in.
"Yes" he answered, his granddad walked in
"The lawyer called today they"
"I don't want a lawyer, I'm going to represent myself" Granddad didn't say anything for a moment
"That's not wise" he said quietly
"Yeah well you would know" Huey replied harshly, then he looked his grandfather in the eyes, he shrugged
"Do what you want boy" he replied, and Huey nodded and watched him leave. He shrugged off the uneasy feeling he got and resumed his reading.
Robert was beyond disappointed; he couldn't believe his own grandson lashed out him like that. He always knew the boy was carrying resentment and anger but he never thought any of that was towards him. He sighed heavily as his headache grew. Sitting down in his chair, he stretched out. He was glad he was back home, at least he can keep an eye on him and if he didn't want council then so be it. He was 18 he can be a fool all by himself, Robert walked back downstairs to drown his recent sorrows with some whiskey and booty shakers on TV.
Huey yawned and looked at the time, as he heard his phone ringing. 3am. She wasn't joking about it being late, he picked up his phone
"Open your window for me" she said happily, of course she would be happy at this hour
"Nah I aint letting you climb up here, stay out the front. I'll come down" Huey told her,
"Kk" she replied before he dropped the phone. He yawned again and stretched rubbing his eyes. He got up and walked downstairs quietly, he reached the bottom and finally the door. Opening he saw his beautiful girlfriend clad in a black hoody, shorts and white air force ones. Her hair was out and he could see the honey blonde ringlets spewing out of the hood she had on.
"Huey" she exclaimed happily and hugged him. He pulled a face of disbelief.
"You saw me this afternoon" he told her, seeing as she was acting like she had not seen him in years.
"So it doesn't mean I'm not happy to see you silly" jasmine replied, he took a deep breath
"Come on, your causing a scene" he told her, she followed him up the steps, they finally reached his room.
"Omg it's so cold in here" Jazmine said
"Be quiet please" Huey reminded her, she instantly lowered her voice.
Jazmine watched Huey close the window, he was wearing a pair of white basketball shorts and a wife beater. She couldn't say she didn't like what was moving so freely in front of her. Once he closed the window he moved over to his heater and turned the knob to put in on.
"Happy now" he asked as he turned back around
"Thanks" she beckoned him back over to his bed. She had long removed her hoody and just wore a vest top and shorts.
"I'm sorry I came so late. Mom forced me to spend time with my grandmother who by way, I don't totally get yet. She made a comment about my hair but my mom said not to take it to heart. Anyway, Tom must really trust me seeing as he's made no other moves to stop us contacting each other." Jazmine babbled, he wondered if Caesar had informed her of what was going on yet.
"He may have CCTV in your room, you just don't know it" Huey replied, and yawned.
"Awwh baby I'm sorry" she said as she straddled his waist. Huey's hair was tied back because he hated how it would get knotted and get everywhere in the night.
"It's ok, you came that's all that matters" he replied honestly
"Yeah I promised didn't I, where's my kiss" she asked him, he leaned forward and kissed her, short and sweet.
"I wanted to ask you about what happened and I thought you were done with Rome" Jazmine slightly accused
"Don't worry about him, I'm going to handle him" His voice was low and serious
"What are you going to do, Huey don't do anything stupid. He's not even worth it" Jazmine tone was worried and he pulled her closer.
"I only went there cos I didn't have anyone else to call" he revealed, he decided not to mention kicking his ass in the morning.
"Huey, you could have called Ceez" she told him, he looked off from her now
"Sasha told me what happened, what is wrong with you, your acting more hostile than normal" she pointed a finger in his chest; he looked down at it then back at her. Ok she had not spoken to Caesar yet, that was good he rather not have her completely hysterically, if he could elminate Rome silently.
"Why are you blaming me, from what I remember Caesar was the one talking out of pocket" Huey said bitterly, she stroked his face with her hand as the other just rested on his chest.
"He was trying to protect you, like me" Jazmine told him firmly.
"Even still, he was trying to make me look like an idiot…if you say I'm acting one I'll kick you out" she giggled and he scowled
"No you won't but you're letting your ego get in the way of your friendship" Jazmine told him,
"Did you not want to do other things tonight" Huey asked as he ran his hands over her ass and up the back of her vest causing her to shiver because his hands were cold. Jazmine became distracted as Huey's lips latched onto her neck.
"Hmm…No, Huey…baby stop" she pleaded, she really wanted to get to the root of his problem. He slowly stopped and she looked at him his eyes were unreadable.
"Please apologise to Mr Freeman" she suddenly requested, he let out a breath
"Jaz,"
"No, Huey a real man can admit his faults and apologise. You sir were at a fault, no matter how you feel, abusing your granddad isn't the way to go about expressing it" Huey twisted, he knew that was right.
"He hit me first" Huey sounded like a 5year old and she found it cute, seeing as he really didn't play the victim. She touched his lip that was cut, it was a bad situation. She would never have thought the Freemans would take their dysfunctional nature to a deadly level.
"Hey, I'm here for you ok" she said softly, he nodded
"Besides, I have something to make you better" she said before leaning into him and claiming his lips and tongue.
Robert trudged to the bathroom, grumbling because he hated having to go the bathroom in the night, he was having the best dream about them R&B divas.
"Damn bladder" he cursed under his breath, no one told him old age came with a weak bladder, he could do without that shit. Instead of a weak bladder he could do with some ass already. Riley was probably right about his date, she probably had another guy on the go, maybe Huey was right too about the younger women thing. Then Robert looked at the mess Huey was in coupled with his cut head and shook it off. That boy just didn't know when to quit. He didn't bother with the lights in the bathroom, quickly and easily relieving himself. He walked back towards his room but stopped short of Huey's room when he heard giggling.
Now what the hell was that boy doing giggling at a time like this, man he better not be high on some shit. Then he listened a little closer that was a female.
His grandson done lost his goddamn mind, he gonna bring his side piece in this house after all that love conquers all shit he was spitting the other night.
"Oh Hell Naw" Robert said, he rushed back to his room and got his belt, Riley would be happy to see this, shoot he'd probably wake him up. It was one thing to be a revolutionary but now he wanted to be cheating on that sweet lil cutie pie. Robert growled almost at the sheer thought, Huey was official acting in reverse, shit he was acting more like his goddamn father than anything and he knew how hard that boy wasn't trying to be anything like his father, hence his hard ass always acting out on this revolutionary shit.
"Boyyyy" Robert started as he entered his room, hearing the said female squeal a little
Huey eyebrows rose in confusion as he looked at his grandfather, standing in the doorway with a cotton robe on and his belt in one hand. Was this dude crazy or something, Jazmine had quickly jumped off of him and basically hid under the covers. Huey sighed and stared at his grandfather
"Can I help you" Huey asked looking at his granddads pissed off expression.
"How dare you bring your side piece in this house, at this hour and after all the shit you were damn near killing niggas over the other night" Robert voice climbed with every word, Huey continued to stare at his grandfather
"And wipe that damn look off your face" granddad continued, he saw Jazmine about to poke her head of the covers then decided to keep her concealed.
"Yeah cover your little hoe, that poor little cutie. Probably at home crying over your shit, while your over hear acting like a damn motherfucker" Huey eyebrows rose in shock.
Jazmine felt hot as hell, was Huey trying to suffocate her or something, Mr Freeman had the wrong end of the stick. Jazmine wondered if she should be worried that Mr Freeman even thought Huey was capable of doing such a thing to her, he wasn't she was sure of it. She shifted uncomfortably, Mr Freeman didn't say 'sidepiece' in shock, he said it more like it was common knowledge. As if he had warned Huey before.
"Breathe Jaz, Huey is not that guy, you know this" her inner voice reassured her.
"Now get your hoe out of this damn house and you better count your lucky stars I aint have to whoop on nobody tonight. Goddamn Huey you acting worse than your daddy at this point" Jazmine eyes opened wide, Huey's father was a sensitive subject, she squeezed his leg and then after some moments.
The covers opened up. She looked at Huey who was no longer wearing his white wife beater thanks to her. She could see the knots in his jaw tight, she sighed just when she had got him calm and level headed. She got up to see Mr Freeman was gone.
"You gotta go, come on. I'll walk you back" he said in a cold tone. She wanted to say something to him, he didn't have to hide her like that, Mr Freeman probably wouldn't have drawn a comparison with his father if he had seen her. Almost like he read her mind
"I don't want you to get into trouble; I don't know where that man stands on us." Huey's voice sounded bitter but he offered her a small smile to cover this up.
"Mr Freeman isn't a snitch Huey, he probably would have just warned us to be careful" she assured him, he shrugged as she pulled her vest top over her head.
He shrugged and started to rummage in his closet bringing out a pair of air forces and slipping them on his feet. He took a hoody from his wardrobe and pulled it over his godly physique. He offered her his hand.
"Are you ok" she asked him quietly as she took his hand. He nodded affirmative as they walked out of his room. Silently they walked downstairs she was looking at him. He looked sad, Mr Freeman sounded disappointed
"You should have just let him see it was me, I wouldn't have minded. Maybe just the topless part a little" she said
"Let him think what he wants" his voice was at its best cut and dry. He opened the door and looked back up to his grandfathers window seeing the light off, he just continued to walk with her. Once they reached the back of her house, he looked up at her window
"You sure, you can climb up there" he asked her with some concern.
"Uh huh," she replied confidently, he cocked his brow and looked back up again
"Don't underestimate me Freeman" she wagged a finger at him, the cold night air passed through them both. She shivered a little
"I'm not, I just don't want you to get hurt trying to be cat woman" Huey replied, she rolled her eyes
"Huey what your granddad said"
"Baby I told you, let him think what he wants. I don't care, I just want all this shit to be over" he told her honestly sounding very tired and fed up, she stepped into him and wrapped her arms around her neck.
"I know, and it will be. But no matter what I'm on your side ok" she said into his chest
"That means a lot, you know I love you right" he asked her, she smiled and looked up and answered with a kiss
"Yes I know you love me" she replied looking up up at him.
"Good" he told her and gently backed up against the kitchen back door and kissed her. She murmured into the kiss and as the light breeze whipped both of them, she couldn't control her hands moving to the zip of his hoody. He pinned her arms way above her head and she could see this little outdoor scene exceed its pg rating. She pulled away gently and calmed herself as much as she could
He smiled and kissed her forehead
"I love you" he told her, she smiled
"I love you too" she replied lovingly, she was going to kiss him again and then faked and moved to climb the pipe to her bedroom.
"I don't want to get caught, rolling around in the grass, daddy might shoot you" she said as she felt his eyes on her back. When she was climbing she looked back down to see him admiring her back, he grinned she rolled her eyes and slid under the window and into her room, poking her head back out she blew him a kiss and he coolly did nothing as expected and begun walking back around the front.
Evelyn Waters, gulped her glass of water. That wasn't her granddaughter with a colored boy was it. Why were Tom and Sarah letting her out at all hours of the night and why an earth was she letting that, that boy pin her against the backdoor. She felt disgust bubble in her stomach. She wanted to march up to Jazmines room and demand an explaination. Tom had said she wasn't ready to date but she was sure hell exchanging saliva with the, she sighed in annoyance as she walked out of the kitchen and back upstairs to the guestroom. She knew that slick ass Tom was hiding something from the moment she arrived, all those stray kids running around in here. Jazmine looking like a badly kept doll with that out of control hair. Sarah had really lay down with dogs on this one.
"See what Negros did" she hissed as she sat on her bed fuming
There's strength in numbers Huey...remember that
Till next chap.
