“Navy Bleu!” I heard Peach squeal, as she ran from the ice cream vendor, over towards Capri who was walking over our way with Navy.
Capri looked at her stepdaughter, confused. “You know her, Peach?”
“I watch all her YouTube videos… she’s the reason I wanted to go to Chicago for my birthday that year!” She jumped up and down, while Navy smiled and extended her arms.
Ryder rushed into her arms. “Did you ever get to go?”
She nodded her head. “My daddy took me… it was so fun too.”
“Aww, I love that you went and had fun, sweetie.”
“Peach, what flavor?” Elijah hollered at her.
“I’ll be right back!” she screeched and took off toward her cousin, while Navy smiled at her.
“Leave it to Don to get engaged to a celebrity,” Zoya teased her.
“I just talk shit and travel.” Navy shrugged and smiled.
“This is my sister-in-law, Navy Bleu. This is Meer, Sim, Gerald, Blair, and Capri, who you just met.”
Navy waved. “Hey everyone andGerald,” she teased, knowing that her ass only called me Goon.
“You do birthday parties? Peach seems to love you, so I may need to book you.”
Capri looked at her husband. “Baby, she’s not fucking Barney.”
Meer shrugged, still looking at Navy. “I’m still trying to book his ass too… Cherry loves him.”
Navy laughed. “That’s Jett, my security.” She pointed to the tall and buff man standing down toward Zoya’s truck.
Every member of the Caselli family had security, even if they didn’t know. I found that out when I was sleeping outside of Zoya’s old spot. Even knowing it, that shit never made me go home; I continued to sleep out there because my job was to protect her – always.
“You brought Bando! Lemme go get Beretta, you know that’s her boyfriend!” Ryder ran back over with her ice cream in her hand and then ran toward the tattoo shop.
“His name is Bando?” Quasim laughed.
“Not too much on my baby… that was his name when I rescued him.”
Elijah took a bite out of his ice cream like a nut case and looked at Bando. “All I got is a stupid cat.”
“Aye don’t call Pyro stupid… you have to force her to sleep in your room,” Blair called him out.
“Sorry, mom.”
“Who?”
“Mommy.” He playfully sulked, because he wanted to be the cool kid on the block.
Blair kissed his cheek. “Now go and do whatever because Des is coming to pick you kids up soon.”
“Okay.”
Ryder came back out with the yorkie in her arms. Beretta was spoiled, and she knew it. Damn dog had high ass standards, but when she saw Bando, she became excited and nearly jumped out of Ryder’s arms.
“See, she loves him.”
Bando’s little nub of a tail started to shake crazy, and they both smelled each other’s butt and became excited. “She bullies him so bad too, and he loves it.” Zoya laughed.
