Kadeer brought him back to reality. “Yo. Relax.”
Jio grabbed his coat.
“Bruh, I’m good.”
“No, you not.”
“I said I’m good.” Jio wasn’t repeating himself, but Kadeer was one of the few niggas in the room that didn’t fear him.
“Ima roll out with you.”
“Nah.”
Kadeer stared at him hard. “What you about to go do?”
Jio looked at him like he was crazy. “Man don’t be questioning me.”
Kadeer lowered his voice, not wanting to put his business on front street, although it was obvious that he was bothered. “You spiraling over pictures.”
“It’s not the pictures.”
“Then what is it?”
Jio said without hesitation. “She forgot who the fuck she dealing with.”
He had no problem reminding baby girl and that’s exactly where he was headed.
Jio was feeling nice before he saw the pictures, due to the blunts and drinks he’d had, but that Henn had a reverse effect, and now he wanted to kill a nigga.
He sat in the dark with his gat on his lap, ready for whatever. He hoped that Nina brought that nigga back to her crib. Jio was going to light his ass up, on God.
It was four in the morning when she kicked her heels off as soon as she made it inside her apartment. Her feet were killing her. She wouldn’t have survived another hour in those stilettos. Her toes were so numb that she was probably wearing sneakers to the office tomorrow. That’s if she made it, because with the way she was feeling, she just might sleep through the alarms.
Her stomach dropped instantly. Someone was in her home and she knew exactly who it was. Nina rolled her eyes. Damn, news traveled faster than lightning through these New York streets. The mission was accomplished because she wasn’t in the mood to argue tonight.
His cologne filled the hallway and the faint smell of marijuana mixed in with it led her right to him. She turned thecorner to find Jio sitting on her couch in all black. The fury in his eyes was practically radiating off him.
“You lost your fuckin’ mind?”
Nina blinked. “Excuse me?”
“Wait, let’s start with a hi baby…no, what about HELLO STRANGER!”
Jio totally ignored her.
“You outside with this nigga cheesing for the cameras like one of these groupie bitches!” Spit flew out of his mouth.
Nina’s irritation flared immediately at the pure disrespect. “First of all, lower your voice and watch your mouth.” She didn’t appreciate the way he was talking to her.
“Don’t tell me what the fuck to do.”
“Oh, now you remember I exist?”
Jio shook his head. “Don’t do that.”
“No, don’t YOU do that,” she snapped. “You disappear for weeks and think you can pop up to my house questioning me?” She folded her arms across her breasts.
“You know better,” he retorted as if she should’ve already known what the fuck was up.
