He frowned. “What’s the problem? We was just good.”
I twisted my lips, as I struggled to find the right things to say. I knew that I was giving weird vibes, after we had been getting closer than close, lately. For the past month, we’d been texting...and I had even kicked it at his apartment a few times.
I liked Jules, and had been legitimately trying to get to know him, after ending my relationship. But now Sin was in the city, and he was all that I was trying to focus on.
“Something had come--”
“Yo, they said that you pulled up to get in the ring.”
Glancing over my shoulder, I realized that Sin J was now standing behind me. Wearing a mean-mug.
Cockily, Jules smirked, before licking his lips. “I never seen a nigga so eager to get his ass whupped.”
“And a nigga aint never talked that shit without me smacking ‘im,” Sin J growled, before slapping the fuck out of Jules.
“Sin!” I shouted
Jules countered, taking a swing, but Sin swiftly stepped back, dodging the blow.
“Say!” Terio shouted, as he jotted across the yard. “You niggas save that for the ring!”
Jules was fuming, but paused in his tracks, clearly having some restraint.
I stepped in front of Sincere. “Boy, what are you doing?”
“Nah, yo. The fuck areyoudoing?” He bucked his eyes, as he glowered down at me.
“Say,” My daddy sputtered, as he approached us. “The fuck is going on over here?”
Terio scratched his head, appearing perplexed. “Shit, your guess is as good as mine.”
My daddy’s eyes traveled to me. “What happened, Riah?”
I shrugged. “They just exchanged words.”
“That’s it, huh?”
“Yeah, basically.”
“Yeah, alright.” My daddy exhaled. “It looks like this is the perfect time for you lil’ niggas to hop in the ring. Y’all ready?”
“Shit, let’s go,” Jules responded, stoically.
Scowling, Sin J nodded. “I’m ready. Let’s get to it.”
“Sin,” I curled my lips. “He boxes for real.”
His nostrils flared. “So?”
Exhaling, I shook my head, as we all traveled towards the ring.
My mind was racing, when Sin slickly whispered in my ear, while nobody was looking. “Just remember that you made this shit happen.”
“Huh?” I frowned in confusion, as he pulled back while glaring at me.
After approaching the ring, both Jules and Sin J climbed onto the ring, and crossed the ropes, followed by my daddy and Terio. Glancing around, I realized that all my siblings were now outside, including my oldest brother and sister, Jahrein Junior and Jhyrah. Then there were their spouses, Josairah and JeremyJunior. So, literally, everybody was out there...and the last thing I wanted was them witnessing my man getting tossed around that ring, even if they didn’t know that he was my man.
“I wanna see this shit,” Jahrein Junior chuckled, as he leaned against the ring. “Cause after the way Lil’ Sin just slapped the piss out of that nigga, I believe he got something.”
