Quentin's,
It was about 11 a.m when I woke up with the smell of breakfast in the air. I did a small smile before slipping off the couch to where I retreated last night. I stood up after wiping my face down. I walked into the kitchen and saw Mia with her back turned flipping pancakes. I quietly sneaked behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist making her jump and let out a small scream which resulted in me laughing.
"Damn Q. You scared the shit out of me", She said as she took a deep breath and got back to focusing on the pancakes.
"My bad", I said and then gave her a kiss on the back of her head.
She nodded and I pushed her hair to the side about to place a kiss on her neck until I saw it. I saw a fucking hickey that I know ain't get there by itself. I bit my bottom lip trying my best to control my anger. I decided not to do anything right now so I backed away from her and left to go upstairs with no words.
Mia cheating on me? I'm Q. I don't get cheated on. As I walked into the bathroom I felt myself boiling with anger. How the fuck she gonna cheat on me then walk around like it's a proud thing to have. In my house. I exhaled deeply and placed my head on the sink before inhaling and lifting my head back up to began my morning routine.
After I was done brushing my teeth and washing my face. I slipped on my some black and white J's to go with my Adidas sweat pants and then I threw on my white and black Adidas short sleeve shirt. I knew it was better for me to leave out for a little bit. I rather go deal with the business bullshit then my relationship bullshit. I jogged downstairs and saw she was just finishing up. She turned to me and her smile faded seeing I was about to be out the door.
"I'll be back", Was all I said before grabbing my car keys any car keys and walking out the door.
Who could she be fucking with? One of my men? Nah she wouldn't cross the line like that. Would she? All these thoughts just pissed me off even more making me clench the steering wheel to contain myself. Again after Q put his trust and shit into some female shit go wrong. I can never just have a good fucking relationship with anyone. I knew I should have just let her ass go to Nomel house that day. I knew I should have just treated her like a regular bitch.
By the time I reached the trap my anger was reaching pass its peak. I had no type of patience for anything. I grabbed my pistol out the glove compartment and slipped it onto the waist band of my sweats. I hoped out the car and walked up to the door and did the pattern onto the broke down door. I started to count to 15 just like my PO use to tell me to do when I was become to angry to control finally before I reached 1 and was about to start putting bullets into the door, Ant opened it.
"Wassup", He said holding out his hand.
I nodded and dapped him up not speaking any words. I wanted to find Pedro and see if he saw any nigga with Mia last night. I looked around the living room where niggas packed up drugs. I turned back to Ant.
"Pedro? Where he at?", I asked.
"Upstairs, talking to Rico", He explained.
I ran upstairs with him following behind. This why Ant my nigga. He asks no questions and always got a nigga back. I walked into the room I heard voices from and I saw Pedro and Rico talking and counting money.
"Aye Pedro, let me speak to you real quick", I said as Ant walked into the room.
Pedro nodded and put the money down before following me out the door and down the hall to my office. We reached my office and I sat down in my chair as he sat across from me.
"Wassup?".
"You saw Mia with some nigga yesterday?", I asked not trying to beat around the bush.
His eye brow rose but he shook his head making me take a deep breath and pull my pistol out and place it on the desk which resulted in his eyes shooting down at the gun then back at me.
"You not lying?", I started. "Shawty came back with a hickey that I ain't put there and I know you was with her when I wasn't so no nigga was around her?", I asked eyeing him and his behavior.
Before my father died he taught me a lot about body language and paying attention to people's normal behavior and then they're lying behavior. Like last night with Mia'a hair being down that shit wasn't normal.
I watched as Pedro's started to tap his fingers on the arm of the chair and I got it making a mental note to myself. He don't do that shit on any other basis so it let me know he knew something with Mia yesterday and he just ain't wanna be honest.
"Nah, I don't know nothing. I would take a few glances at her and she was dancing with your sister", He stated making me making another mental note. Queen was with her the whole night from what her and Nomel said so she had to see some shit.
"Ard", I said ending the conversation and pulling the pistol back into my waistband.
I watched as he left and soon Ant came in with a box in his hand. I shook my head as he dropped it on my desk. I looked and saw he had already opened it due to the tape being torn.
"Open it", He said with a pissed written all through the sentence.
I rolled my eyes and pulled the flaps back to be faced with a dead small snake with a letter under it. I snatched it out the box and read the black ink.
"So many snakes that are in disguise."
I cursed under my breath and balled the paper up and threw it back in the box. Before looking up at Ant who was pulling out a blunt from his front pocket.
"How many times do I need to tell your dumb ass that them niggas Pedro and Rico aren't for us?", He asked as he grabbed his lighter.
"Don't start this shit", I said as I leaned back in my black chair.
"Nah, real shit nigga. Where were they when Jas was killed? Or when the trap was shot up that other time and you were about to be shot? Did you even look they asses up? Are you stupid or something?", He asked and looked at me.
I shot him a glare but shook my head realizing it was true. I stood up and walked out the room leaving Ant to smoke his blunt in peace. I ran down the steps and all the way downstairs to where I hoped Dez was in the green room as I call. He was the little nigga with all the book smart type shit. Even though he was young he could do anything we needed when it came to computers find out anything. I turned the other way when I reached the basement not heading to the dunegon as we all grown and known to call it.
"Wassup Q?", He said and dapped me up.
"Wassup lil nigga, I need you to do something for me" I stated.
"Two niggas, Pedro and Rico. Look em up and tell me everything you find out", I said pointing to the computer screen.
"Finally looking them up? Good cause it don't seem Mia fuck with them. Pedro a least", He said as he started to type some shit.
"What chu talking about?".
"Didn't you see the way she looked at him? Like she scared or some shit. I watched them last night", He said and I just stared at him.
"Good look Dez. Tell Ant, I left", I said before dapping him up and jogging back upstairs and out the door.
When I got in the car I didn't even start the engine. I just sat there trying to reply the little bit of last night I saw. I guess I never really took the time to look how Mia looked at Pedro or how he looked at her. I sighed and turned on the engine.
Mia's,
I was watching reruns of "Being Mary Jane" in the living room and eating a bowl of strawberries when I heard the door open and I saw Q walk in. When he left I realized I forgot tot cover my hickey so as of now he couldn't see thanks to makeup. I gave him a smile which he didn't return but he did come and sit next to me.
"Mia, baby girl. I need you to be honest", He started after turning off the t.v. "Don't lie to me".
"Okay".
"How did you get that hickey?", He asked looking at me.
My heart dropped down to the pit of my stomach and I pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and looked down at my exposed thighs.
"What hickey?", I asked trying to avoid this.
"The hickey I saw this morning", He said with a chuckle at the end of his sentence. "Just be real with me".
I nibbled on the inside of my mouth and fought with my brain and heart. My brain was using common sense and knowing Q would go do something to Pedro while my heart was seeing Q was gonna protect me.
"Mia, I ain't gonna ask again. I want the truth", He ordered and looking at me.
"Pedro", I mumbled hoping he wouldn't hear but would drop it too.
"What? Who?", He asked and pulled my chin up making me make eye contact with him.
"Pedro".
I watched as his nostrils flared and rage flashed through his eyes letting me know he thought I cheated. I quickly shook my head as tears burnt my eyes.
"Quentin, it's not what you think. I didn't cheat, I would never cheat on you", I explained knowing Q is only the person I wanted to be with.
He looked at me and with his eyes telling me to continue. I watched his jaw clench and his eyes narrow as he balled his fist up. I opened my mouth but nothing came out but air. I was terrfied to say anything but I knew I needed to say something before Q boils over.
"He surprised me in the bathroom, an...and pushed me against the wall. He was touching all over me and even went into my panties and he wa-was sucking on my neck. Q I tried to get him off but he held my wrist tight", I explained with a crack in my voice. "You believe me?", I let out in a soft whisper.
He looked at me and I saw his body relax and he unleashed his fists. Quentin held out his arms in which I climbed on his lap and he pulled me into a warm embrace. I dug my face into the crook of his neck as he traced circles on my back which for some reasons could take away all worries besides one.
What is he gonna do about Pedro?
