“Let me see my boy, first, then we can go downstairs to the ER. I just need to lay eyes on him. Please.”
She gave me a tight smile and nodded. “Dad, can you give me my phone?”
He pulled it from his pocket and handed it to me. I immediately called Iesha. I knew she was worried about me. The second she answered the phone, she said, “Seven! Are you okay? Are you at home?”
“Hey, baby. I’m not home yet. I’m just leaving a lab where they had to take blood. I’m gonna lay eyes on PJ, then Mrs. Sidney wants me to be evaluated, because I don’t remember anything after getting in my cell yesterday.”
“Okay. Can I meet you at the hospital?”
“Yeah, baby. Better yet, can I go to your place to take a shower before I go to the hospital?”
“Of course. I’ll be waiting. I was so worried about you.”
“I know. You were the first person I asked about when they got there to get me. See you in a few, baby.”
“Okay. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I ended the call, and my dad shook his head. “You finally got your shit together with that girl. It’s about time. I think she’s good for you, just like your mama was good for me.”
I nodded. “Yeah. I just hate I got all this bullshit going. That was what was keeping her from taking me seriously. When I finally told her the truth of what was going on, she took time to think about it, and she accepted me for who I was after that. I’m glad too, because a nigga had blue balls something serious.”
Mrs. Sidney rolled her eyes as we walked to the car. Dad chuckled. “Well, you keep doing shit right by her, we may have a quadruple wedding.”
“Shiiiid, I wouldn’t be against that, but Iesha ain’t gon’ wanna move that fast. Besides, her family will have to pay for it. I still ain’t met her parents yet.”
“Oh yeah, that’s right. Shit. After these three, I’m done. Hell yeah. That’s gon’ be a long ass wedding though.”
“I doubt it. They know how you are and so do the Semiens and Red.”
He laughed, then got in his truck. As Mrs. Sidney drove, she said, “You remind me so much of my son. Graham is older than you, but he has finally found the woman that brings out his best qualities. I could see that Iesha does the same thing for you when you were on the phone.”
I gave her a one-sided smile. “Yeah. I saw him on TV with that rapper. That’s who he’s with now?”
“Yeah. They make a really cute couple.”
I nodded slightly. We remained quiet the rest of the way to Iesha’s house. I needed to see my baby. Being in her arms . . . I knew everything would be alright after that.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
IESHA
The minute Seven walked through the door, my heart was light. I was so worried about him. He’d just texted me, saying that he loved me, then I received a text a minute after, saying he’d been arrested. What really had me nervous was that they held him overnight and wouldn’t tell us why. Everyone was upset. I’d driven to Nome to see what the family was saying. I needed to know what was going on.
He leaned over and kissed my lips, then said, “If we had time after my shower I would show you how much I missed you. My dad and Mrs. Sidney are outside waiting.”
I smiled at him. “The Seven I know wouldn’t give a fuck,” I said to mess with him.
His eyebrows lifted slightly. “Girl, you tryna get me caught up in a life-threatening twister, huh? He gon’ fuck you up too!”
I giggled and followed him to the bedroom. “I know. I just wanted to see what you would say. I mean, I’m not afraid of the Storm if you aren’t.”
I watched him as he stripped naked and went to the shower, not saying a word. Still, like a little puppy, I followed him to the bathroom to find him in the shower washing himself at the speed of light. I opened the door so see him washing soap off hisdick. “If you want this, grab a condom from the nightstand and hurry up, girl. I ain’t finna turn down that hot and ready.”
I quickly undressed and went to my room to get a condom. When I got back to him, he was out of the shower, drying off his dick so he would be able to get the condom on without hassle. He brought it straight to his mouth and tore it open while I turned my back to him and bent over. I didn’t know how I turned him down repeatedly for sex for over a year. Deep down, I knew he would have me losing my mind in these streets.
We didn’t have time for foreplay, so as soon as he strapped up, he pushed inside of me.
