My choice!

My Cool

I dropped Imani at mines and left to go my pops house. I had pulled into the drive and seen about six other cars follow behind, and this wasn't no ordinary meeting with everybody something or someone was up and it was messing up business. I walked in and was greeted by some females who seemed to have finished their duties, I got myself a drink and waited in the basement until others came. "What's up son"

"Everything good, I'm just chillin'. What's up wit you?" I asked as the OG's flowed into the room.

"These west side niggas is what up." He took a sip of his drink before starting his speech. "We got somebody called Jay who ready to change turf, but that shit seem to risky. Nigga was hit by his own and wants to play revenge" I looked up to the sound of Jay, I knew my pops was not considering to bring this boso into his business. I shook my head in response to this statement, "Why you do that?" He asked directly to me.

"Ion think you should do it, he obviously did some shit to be caught as suspicion at west side, that's why he was beat up." I stated everyone looked at me "He gon' have more loyalty to those niggas than he will have you. He not it" I finished and my pops looked at me I could see that he was proud but ain't wanna show it too hard. I never put myself in the gang to deep and kept myself at arms reach of any danger. Having a stable life was important to me and I didn't want to harm no one I loved too hard. He nodded his head back at me, and I got up to leave, everyone else was here for the party he was holding.

I walked out to my car and made my way out, I was driving for a while before I stopped at Walmart to get some snacks for Imani. This girl had been craving all sort of things since being pregnant. I got what I needed and went back to the car, I seen Tyson a few times when I was in there but I payed him no attention. "Terrell" he called, I looked back and wanted to knock the shit out this nigga but kept my cool.

"What's up?" I asked putting the bags in the back

"How's Imani?" He said standing at the front of the car

"She good, we went doctors the other day and they said they not sure about the twin thing but they gon' do a few more tests to check her iron." I opened my door as a sign that the conversation had ended

"Ight cool. What you doing for her birthday?" He asked, this was no longer no small talk I looked at this nigga crazy. What was he asking about her birthday for, I can respect the fact he gon be the father but now you asking too much bout my girl.

"I'm planning something chill. Why you asking?" I said stepping back from my car and getting closer to where he was.

"I just wanted to get her something, chill..." I know this boy was trying his hardest to be a 'good person' but he fucking with the wrong person. I looked at him sideways and just got in the car.

*20 minutes later
I got home and put the groceries down and made my way up. It was mad quite "Bae" I called out, she didn't answer me. I picked up my pace and ran for the bathroom "Imani" I walked into the room and the bathroom door was open a bit. I walked in and found this girl sat in the tub, she was sleep I woke her up and helped her out the water. She was tired as fuck. "Why you take a bath?" I asked sitting in the bed.

"I think I just wanted to sit in something warm for while." She stated

"Ain't it bad for the baby" she looked at me funny before smiling and putting her bra and shorts on.

"I don't know doc, you tell me" she said kissing me, I gave the same gesture. Her hands wrapped around my neck and pulled her in closer to me. She stopped and sat on my lap, "Why you so tense" she asked, I rubbed her stomach before looking up at her and explaining what happened at my pops house and the when I stopped at Walmart. "Forget about all that. That's not your shit to fight for when it comes to Jay, Ashanti been better and Tyson just trying he gon' get his fuck up." She said passionately. "But what you planing for me?" She asked caressing my hair and sticking her tongue out.

"You too nosey, just be patient" I said walking into the bathroom, I did my hygiene. I got down and found Imani at the door, I walked up behind her and seen it was Demetre, this nigga had been popping up a lot more since Imani been over here. "What's up" I said dapping him up and hugging Imani. His eyes lifted from Imani to me, and returned the gesture. I know Imani was chilling with his brother but this nigga had got way too comfortable for someone who did not have a full friendship with her.

"Nothin' your package came" he said handing it to me. I took it nodded my head and he left, I closed the door and Imani went to the kitchen to make herself a drink and we went up to the room. Today was good, just being in the house with Imani did not stress me, she was on FaceTime with Jaliyah while I watched the Tv.

I picked up my phone to look at the time, it was 7:50pm while doing so my phone was filled with notifications. I hadn't touched it since I got in the shower and just seen a pile of messages from my pops apparently someone seen me talking to Tyson and now I knew this shit was bout to the fan.
