“It’s fine, Ma. I’m not mad. I like the fact that I have yet one more person to spoil me,” I simpered.
“I bet you do,” she laughed. “How’s Titan? His shoulder doing better?”
I explained to her what was going on and what his doctors we saying, and how frustrated he was.
“I know it’s probably a lot because he’s worried about his career, but he’ll be okay. Y’all just let me know if you need anything. I know he’s probably running Ai (Eye) raggedy,” she laughed.
“Oh, trust me. He’s milking this injury. She’s been going over there to cook and he’s loving every minute of it.”
I only stayed with my mama a little while longer because I needed to go home and study. I had finals coming up, and Ineeded to make sure I was prepared. Once I grabbed a bowl of chili, I headed home. I wasn’t there thirty minutes before Nae called and said she was on the way. I had enough time to wash my ass and change. When I got out of the shower, she was sitting on my bed.
“Hoe, why you sitting on my bed? What if my nigga was in here?” I asked with a raised brow.
“I listened at the door before I came in.” She shrugged. “I’ain hear nothing so I knew you were alone.”
I shook my head at her logic because she thought she had all the sense.
“Who says you would’ve heard something?” I smirked.
She waved me off. “Bitch please. Those hoes weren’t going crazy for no reason, and didn’t you make him fire the chef?” She cocked her head to the side.
I didn’t even respond.
“Yeah, I thought so. What you doing home anyway and not with your nigga?”
“I needed to study. I got finals coming up and I need to focus, and we both know that man ain’t gone let me focus,” I simpered.
“I mean, if you put the book in front you, you could still study while Titan hitting it from the back,” she laughed.
“You’re ignorant.” I joined in.
We left my room and went up front. I had my books and notebooks scattered about and got right back into studying. Janae had been helping me for close to two hours when there was a knock on my door. Getting up, I opened it and Titan was standing there in a hoodie with a duffle bag thrown across his good shoulder and another bag in his hand.
“Aye, back up. Why you always come to the door fucking naked?” He grimaced. “You gone make me fuck you up yet, Tink,” he fussed.
“Oop,” Janae instigated. “Hey, Titan. How you feeling?”
“‘Sup, Nae. I’m straight but your friend gone run my blood pressure up.”
“Whatever. What are you doing here?” I asked as I sat back down.
He placed both bags on the floor and sat next to me.
“You’on want me here, Tink?” he asked as he peered at.
“Yeah, let me go.” Janae got up and grabbed her things. “Call me tomorrow, boo. See y’all later,” she said as she left.
I turned my attention to Titan, who was still looking at me.
“What?” I asked.
“I missed your mean ass.” He grinned.
“I’m not mean.” I rolled my eyes.
“Bullshit, but you got that.” He leaned back. “How was your visit with Saint?”
“It was okay. He gave me the same tattoo as him and Low.” I showed him my wrist, and he just stared at it.
