“You know I always take care of you.”
“Hmm, anything else?”
“An order of wings. Make sure my shit is well done too. Don’t let Angie send me that wet-ass chicken.”
Skylar stuck up her middle finger as she typed in his order.
“Stop talking to her crazy.”
“Sky knows I’m just fucking with her,” Tyson dismissed my warning waiting for her to return with his drink. “Why are you all serious today?”
“I’m always serious.”
“That might be the problem. You need to grab one of these fine-ass women in here.”
The one I wanted wasn’t up for grabs. Being a Meraux came with many perks but also many rules. Preserving our family’s lineage topped everything. Skylar having a child of her own would never fit that, so I admired her from afar.
“What happened this time?” I asked, referring to why he demanded we meet for drinks.
“Sonny stopped by today. With more excuses than money. Do you know this motherfucka let him go? All because he told him some sob story about his daughter.”
“What’s wrong with his daughter?”
Tyson's eyes grew dark in disbelief. “Nigga, who gives a fuck!”
“Why are you always so damn mean. You need a hug or something?”
“I don’t need a fuckin’ hug.” Tyson refused, but it was evident he was too invested in this shit.
“You need to let all that shit go.” Tyson had a lot more demons than the rest of us. That remained in the forefront of my brain, granting me the patience to deal with his impulsiveness.
“I didn’t come here for a counseling session. I’m good.”
“You did, so take all of what I have to say, or next time Gi pisses you off, don’t call me.”
“Can we focus on the real problem?” Tyson demanded because he needed to avoid his issues.
“What happened with Sonny’s kid?”
“Some shit with her heart. I don’t know because I stopped listening. That’s Sonny’s problem, not ours.”
“All y’all fuckin’ do is argue. Like two bitch’s.”
“I’ll fight your ass coming at me like that,” Tyson warned, lunging at me, but I didn’t flinch. We had fought before. Honestly, we all had- Gianni and Tyson more than anybody.
“You know better.”
“Fuck you.”
“Thanks, baby girl,” I replied to Sky, placing my food in front of me. She had Tyson’s plate in the other hand, but she didn’t handle it with the same care- one of his wings almost flipped off the plate.
“Damn, why do you have to drop my shit like that?”
“The same reason you came in here giving me your ass to kiss.”
“I love you, Sky. You know you’re my favorite.”
“Hmm, I love you too.”
