ni rolled her eyes, “Whatever mami, yo two just need to go ahead and kiss and makeup, like y’all always do.”

“Le’Lani, do not make me hurt you. I am not thinking about your brother. He can live happily ever after with Kya or one of them other hoes
he fucking for all I care.”

“Girl you are crazy, you been holding it down for two years, you gon let them bitches win that easily?”

“What exactly are they winning Lani? Please tell me what the big prize is? He was with Kya’s hoe ass for seven years and look how he did her, I’m no different from her.”

“Girl don’t even compare yourself to her ass, you are totally different from her.” Lani said turning up her nose.”

“And how is that.”

“
You living in his house, that bitch still in the hood. You work, that bitch just sits on her ass. You’re around his son 24/7, he don't even allow that bitch around MJ. He bought you a brand new Benz, that bitch still takes the bus. You’re classy, that bitch is a hoodrat from the heart. Do I really need to keep going or do you get the point.” Lani asked sarcastically.

“Fuck all that shit Lani, I must be lacking something because he
sho is still messing with her rat ass, now am I right or am I right?”

Lani was about to say something
smart before Ramone, Mykell, Micah and Pop-Pop walked through the door.

Reneice
rolled her eyes at Ramone, he knew she didn’t want to be around Mykell. She got up from the couch to leave but Ramone’s voice made her stop in her tracks.

“Sit the hell down!”
he said.

Reneice turned around and looked at him like he was crazy.

“Ladybug
don’t make me ask you again.”

Defiantly she put her hands on her hip and replied, “What you gon do if I don’t? You gon hit me too?” she
asked, without waiting for an answer before she walked off.

Lani was right on her heels.

“Stubborn ass!” Mykell yelled after her.

“I’ma go handle it, I’ll be back.” Ramone said heatedly.

“Chill Mone, I got this one.” Pop-Pop said getting up.

He went knocked on the guest bedroom door and Lani answered. “Let me talk to baby girl for a minute sweetie,”

Lani left the room. Reneice was sitting on the bed pouting. Pop-Pop walked over and sat on the bed next to her.

“What’s wrong baby girl?”

“I’m tired of everybody treating me like I’m still a child. I’m 20 years old, I don’t need people putting their hands on me or chastising me like I’m two.”

“I understand
, tell me about this other man that you were out with the day MJ got kidnapped.”

“He’s a very good friend of mine, well he was. He owns Club Xscape and I worked for him. Mykell is jealous of him because while he was too busy fucking up and sleeping with this hoe or that hoe, Kamil would listen to me and spend time with me when Mykell was too bu
sy.”

“Did you two sleep together?”

She looked Pop-Pop in the eyes and told him that she had never slept with Kamil. He knew she was telling the truth, he didn’t see any signs of deception from her. He knew his son had really messed up.

“
Alright baby girl,” he kissed her forehead. “I believe you.”

*****

All eyes were on Pop-Pop when he walked back into the living room.

“I believe her when she said she hasn’t slept with him but the way she talked about him, she has some type of feelings for him. Sorry but I won’t be able to help you with this one son.”

She actually caught feelings for this nigga?
Mykell thought.

He was feeling some type of way about that. It was something about that nigga that he didn’t like or trust from the very first day he seen him at the hospital. He was now wondering if he had anything to do with the kidnapping of his son.

“She did also tell me that they weren’t friends anymore, I didn’t ask for the details though.” Pop-Pop said taking Mykell from his thoughts.

“We need to stop by the club and
holla at this nigga. I don’t like him nor do I trust him and now I’m wondering if he had anything to do with MJ.” Mykell spoke up saying his thoughts out loud.

“You think so?” Micah asked.

“Yea, think about it. Him and Neicey get into it about something, she did or said something to piss him off. We all know she got a mouth on her, so to get back at her, he hit her and snatched MJ.”

“Nah, I don’t think he would do something like that.” Micah said

“How you figure?” asked an annoyed Mykell.

“Because
me and him had a talk when she was in the hospital and I could tell that he had feelings for her on more than a friend level. He talked like she had his heart or he loved her or something. So i doubt that he would want to hurt her,” Micah saw the look his brother shot him. “But we can still go check him out.”

“I agree with Mack, he wouldn’t hurt her.” Lani spoke up for the first time. “The way he was by her side at when we got to the hospital, and when he didn’t want to leave when he found out who you were spoke volumes,”

Mykell couldn’t believe that they were talking about him like he was her boyfriend or something. “Y’all acting like y’all rooting for them to be in a relationship or something. Fuck that nigga and the feelings he got for her, she not going nowhere. And I’ma still go holla at this nigga, regardless.”

“Why am I the only
person who don’t know who y’all talking about? My sister been hanging around this nigga for two years and I ain’t never met him, that doesn't sit right with me.” Ramone said.

“The only reason we met him is because he was by her side when she was in the hospital, I sent him home before you got there because him and
Kell had some words.” Micah responded.

“Man, I don't give a fuck how deep his feelings are for her, she--” His father cut him off.

“Well you should care about how deep his feelings are for her. You don’t even care about your woman feeling so lonely to the point where she has to get attention from another man, you think that because she loves you she won't go anywhere but you’re wrong. You keep pushing her away until the point where you're going to push her right into his arms. Scratch that, you already pushed her into his arms, next it’s going to be his bed. That's what's wrong with you niggas these days, you get so caught up in these streets and these hoes that you forget to take care of home and expect your girl to always be there, then when she gets fed up and leaves, you wanna get mad and call her out her name. You better fix that shit before it’s too late. That girl up there loves yo stupid ass, no doubt about it but she’s tired and ain’t no telling how much longer she’s going to be around, when she leaves you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself. Now what you gon do?” Pop-Pop said sternly keeping it real with his son.

Sometimes Mykell hated that his father was an OG and was so wise but at the same time he never would steer him wrong. He just sat there and didn’t say another word. He knew his father was right and his pride was shot down.

Unbeknownst to them, Reneice was standing at the door listening to everything. She was happy that Pop-Pop spoke up on her behalf and actually understood her. She really did love Mykell but she was tired; tired of the lies and the cheating. She was almost at her breaking point; ready to throw in the towel. She lay down and turned Pandora on to drown everybody out, ‘Torn’ by LeToya Luckett came on and that’s exactly how she was feeling at the moment. She was torn between being with the one she loved or just leaving. She just laid there until she felt her eyes getting heavy.

After everything was said and done, Mykell went to check on
Reneice. He opened the door to find her sleeping peacefully. He just stared at her for a minute thinking about everything his father said.

Did I really push her into the arms of another man? Does she really have feelings for that nigga? Should I tell her about Kya possibly being pregnant by me? Will she ever forgive me?
He wondered.

Mykell’s
mind was everywhere but his main concern was getting his son back. It was time to pay ol’ boy Kamil a visit.

*****

Micah, Ramone and Mykell pulled up at the club on a mission. They walked into the club looking for one person and one person only; Kamil. They went to the bar and of course Micah was the first one to speak since he was the more level headed one.

“Tell the Boss we need to
holla at him, it’s very important.”

Kamil
saw them come in on the screens in his office so he was expecting them.

Johnny took them up the stairs to his office and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Kamil said.

When the trio walked in the office, Kamil had his back towards them in the chair looking at the screens. The picture on his desk of he and
Reneicecaught Mykell’s attention and his trigger finger started itching. Kamil slowly turned around with a blunt in his hands and his game face on.

“How I can I help you gentlemen?”

“I wanna know what the fuck you and my lady got going on and what the fuck you got to do with my son’s disappearance?” Mykell said harshly.

“Which one would you like me to answer first?” he replied smartly.

Mykell was already fed up with this nigga, he pulled his pistol from the small of his back, cocked it and aimed it at Kamil’s head.

“Look muthafucka! I don’t have time to play with you. What the fuck you know about my son going missing.”

Kamil tilted his head back and let out a big cloud of smoke, unfazed about the gum aimed on him.

“I don’t know shit about y
a son going missing. The last time I was with baby girl, she called ya pops and said she was on her way to pick him up. That was the last time I talked to her and the last time I heard anything about ya son.” Kamil responded calmly.

“Oh yea?
And I’m supposed to believe that?” Mykell asked never dropping his gun.

Kamil shrugged, “Why would I need to lie about some shit like that? What would I gain from taking yo son?”

Mykell had to think about what Kamil would he gain from taking MJ. Ramone interrupted his thoughts.

“What’s the extent of you and my sister relationship?”

“She started off as a friend, became my employee, then became a best friend. Nothing less.”

There
was something about Kamil that Ramone didn’t like and this was his first time meeting him. He didn’t miss the picture on his desk either and wondered what was really going on between him and his Ladybug.

“You mean nothing more, nothing less?” Micah asked
.

Kamil chuckled, “No I meant just what I said, nothing less. I’ll leave the more part up to Neicey.”

“I’m only gon tell you this one time, stay the fuck away from my girl and if I find out you had anything to do with my son going missing, I’ma put a bullet hole right in the middle of yo forehead.” Mykel stated.

“I’ll hold you to that then.” Kamil replied with a smirk.

“Now if you gentlemen will excuse me , I have a business to run. He said before turning his chair back around facing the monitors.

Reneice woke up the next morning with a serious case of morning sickness, she felt miserable. She didn’t experience morning sickness with her first pregnancy so she didn’t know what to do. She was happy she had a bathroom in her room because she didn’t want to have to explain anything to Ramone. After she got her stomach under control, she brushed her teeth and took a long shower. While in the shower she thought about her baby, she wanted what was best for it even if she couldn’t give it a two parent home. She never grew up in one and she had grown up just fine. Sure, she had a few issues but nothing too serious. Reneice made up in her mind that she would tell Mykell about the baby. What good would hiding it do? They didn’t have to be together to be good parents and to raise their child, they could co-parent.

After she got dressed she went downstairs and fixed her something to eat, only for her. She was still salty with Ramone for the way he talked to her yesterday. She wasn’t a little girl anymore, that tone may have worked when she was little but she was a grown ass woman and she expected him to treat
her like one. While she was fixing her plate, Ramone came downstairs. She just rolled her eyes at him and he smirked.

“I finally met yo lil boyfriend last night.” he said.

Reneice didn’t respond, she wasn’t in the mood to play with him.

“How long you been fucking that cat?”

“Stay out my business!” She snapped.

“So you're finally admitting it huh? You got feelings for him.”

“Why the fuck you in my business? What I do or who I do ain’t nobody’s business but mine. If I was fucking him, I would’ve been left Mykell’s triflin ass. So you just worry about them dust bucket bitches you be fucking and quit worrying about me. Oh and you need to make sure that’s really yo baby that pussy slanging hoe carrying, now worry about that. ” She said nastily before she walked out the kitchen.
