“Yes, I know that’s we agreed on, but she’s here… yes, here in Barbados. I don’t know, but I” Layla’s head snapped up at the sound of Yanna approaching. “Oh, hey, let me call you back in a little bit, okay? Yea, I know. I’ll call you back.” She quickly replied before hanging the phone up.
Yanna’s face conveyed her confusion as she glared at Layla. “Um, who was that on the phone, and why you sound so suspicious? Who’s here?”
“Nobody, lil’ girl, mind your business. What you want?”
Taking a few moments to assess Layla, Yanna tried to recognize any signs that something was amiss with Layla but found none. She deduced her suspicions to her simply being nosey and dropped it. “Oh, well, Kalil has some flyer about a party by the beach, and he wanted to go because we’re all tired of watching Onyx and Troi be disgusting. Can you watch Cujo?”
“Cujo was a dog, Jaiyanna.”
“Yea, and Kian’s ass bites.”
“Don’t ask me no favors and refer to my baby as a damn dog… apologize.”
“Ugh, I’m sorry for telling the truth.”
“Jaiyanna—”
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry, Mumma Lay, you know I love my nephew.”
“Unh huh, don’t play with me about my baby. Anyway, y’all know y’all don’t have to ask. My grandbaby is fine here with me. I was about to go and make some popcorn and watch a movie anyway. We can watchInto The Spiderverse.”
“That’s his problem now, he think he’s damn Miles Morales. But you know we appreciate you, I’ll round him up and bring him to you. Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m positive. Gone bring me my baby so y’all can leave us alone for a little while.”
“Thank you, Mumma Lay, we love you.” Yanna exclaimed, closing the space between them and kissing Layla’s cheek.
“Yea, yea, gone nie.”
Yanna skipped off to gather Kian and send him with his grandmother so they could all get themselves ready for a night on the island.
The evening air and sky was intoxicating, a hazy cast over the atmosphere as the group filed out of their sprinter van. The sound of the waves crashing against one another mixed with the sound of Calypso music blaring from the speakers of the club. The open concept of the club allowed them to see that while there was a decent crowd in attendance at the party, there wasn’t too many people. Onyx didn’t want to have security following him around the entire trip, but made sure to keep them close mainly for the women and his son’s sake. So far, he hadn’t had to request their presence and hadn’t been accosted aside from a few respectful fans requesting pictures. The same was the case as they made their way to the club’s entrance, with them stoppinga few times for him to oblige fans who recognized him. Word of Onyx being at the club made it to the door before they did, and upon entrance, they were immediately directed to their own small section and supplied with a complimentary bottle of Bajan Rum and tequila. Once they’d settled in their section, Yanna popped the bottle of tequila open and poured them all double shots.
“Alright, what we toasting to?”
“The way that ass sitting in them shorts.” Kas replied, mannishly sticking his hand between her ass cheekswhite, distressed denim booty shortsnever one to be shy or reserved, Yanna bent over and gave him a little twerk. Kas didn’t miss a beat, slapping her ass as she bounced it up and down.
“Hold on, turn this way a lil’ bit.” Quan requested, holding up his phone as if he was recording. Reaching over, Kas slapped his cousin’s phone from his hand, making it land on the couch with a soft thud. “You lucky my shit ain’t hit the floor.”
“Fuck that phone, keep yo eyes over there.”
“Speaking of phones, I sure wish I had mine. This outfit needs to be shared with the world. I can’t understand how I lost it because I know I had it at the parade.”
“Yea, that’s crazy that muh’fucka just disappeared like that.” Quan threw salt in the game, earning him a warning glare from Kas.
“When we get back home, I’ll get you a new phone.”
“Until then come on, I’ll take pictures for you and send them to your IG so you can post them when you get a new phone.” Troi offered.
“Nah! I mean, I got it, Troi baby. Let me take the pictures with my phone, I need a few for my personal collection.” The last thing Kas wanted was for Troi to tap into her Instagram account. Though he’d been against it, Onyx had convinced Troi that they should log out of their socials for the remainder of their trip.To Kas’ luck, she agreed, and he didn’t want to risk giving her a reason to log on even if it were brief. He still hadn’t been able to get Yasmine to remove her video, but felt that he was wearing her down. “Pose for me, Yanna boo.”
Yanna wasted no time posing for Kas’ camera, changing positions as he snapped shots of her.
“Troi, get over here and take a picture with me. I feel like it’d be a shame not to show how having a baby made your body even sickening than it was before.”
Obliging her cousin, Troi scurried over to get in the picture. Both of the girls' backs were to the camera, and Yanna playfully reached over and gripped Troi’s left ass cheek.
“And that shit for damn sure not going on IG. Matter fact, Kas send those pictures to me then delete them out yo phone.”
