“Okay. Faheem, I think we all need to calm down.” Frankee had made her way off her porch over to us.
Cutting my eyes over to Frankee, I smirked as I said, “I’m calm. I ain’t trippin’. I’m just tryna understand why this nigga is here speakin’ to my wife.” With my gun still aimed at the nigga, I turned my head in Juni’s direction. “Care to explain?”
“He’s a friend, Faheem. Can you please put the gun down?” Juniper pleaded, looking scared, and that shit only pissed me off more. ‘Cause why the fuck she care so much if I killed the nigga or not? I should have been the only nigga she cared about living or dying.
“Yeah, my dude, we're just friends. I know y’all going through some stuff. Juni just needed a fri-” My gun smashing across his face cut his words short.
“Nigga, call her Juni again. I fuckin’ dare yo ass. Nigga, ain’t shit sweet over here. I’m the only nigga that Juni is friends with,” I spat, looking down at this bitch ass nigga squatting, covering his bleeding face.
“I hear you, I hear you. I-I-I I’m sorry,” he stuttered with fear in his eyes.
“Juni, tell this nigga don’t call yo mutha fuckin’ phone no more,” I barked at Juni, making her flinch when I turned in her direction. A nigga didn’t want to scream at her, but I was heated.There were only a handful of times I’d been this mad before, and it took hella shit to get me mad in the first place.
The buzzing of my phone again, made me reach in my pocket to snatch it out. I had my phone on silent except for the hospital and Mixie’s cell. I wanted her to be able to reach me just in case something happened with my seed. I had about four missed calls from Mixie, and another call came through. Not thinking, I picked the call up.
“My seed good?” I immediately asked. I could feel Juniper’s eyes burning a hole through a nigga.
“Yeah, we're fine. I woke up, and you weren’t here. I wanted to make sure you were okay.” Mixie had to just wake up because her voice was raspy.
“I’m straight, had some shit to take care of.” I made eye contact with Juniper, there was fire in her eyes and anger rolling off her body but her ass didn’t have shit to be mad about. Her ass was the one in the wrong with this shit she was tryna pull.
“You coming back up here, right?”
“Yeah, I’ll be back.” Juniper was all in a nigga’s mouth. Juniper was about to do some fuck shit because she was in her feelings.
“Okay. Faheem. I love you,” Mixie nervously said into the phone.
“Love you too.” I tried to say that shit low so Juniper wouldn’t hear me, but from the way she frowned, I knew she’d heard me. I had love for Mixie, she knew that. Why she was mad like I wasn’t holding a gun to a nigga’s head she’d called her sneaky ass self being friends with. Be forreal, Juniper would be lucky if I didn’t fuck her up ‘cause of the disrespect she was showing a nigga.
“I’m not telling him shit,” Juniper spat as she walked between this nigga and me. Boldly, she pushed me back. I didn’t go anywhere, but I fucked with her trying to stand up to me. “Gobe with Mixie ‘cause I’m done. I’m going with Kojo, and I want you to stay the fuck away from me.”
“Touch that nigga, and I’ma shoot that nigga in between his eyes,” I said with fury, watching Juniper try to help that nigga stand to his feet.
“Fuck you!” she screamed, whipping around to me. Her eyes were wide with tears running down her face. “Fuck you! I’m not doing this shit with you anymore. I fucked up letting myself fall for you when I knew you had a girlfriend. I thought I could handle it, but I can’t, and let's be real; I’ll never come before her. Definitely not with her giving you your first child. Let me go, Faheem.”
Pain pierced my heart, then my soul seeing Juniper in all the turmoil she was in. I never wanted to be the reason she was hurting. I only wanted to be the nigga to put a smile on her face. I wish I could have been the better nigga for Juniper. One of those niggas who could let their woman go. All the shit about seeing her happy, I wanted to be able to say that, but that wasn’t me. I needed the chance to fix what I fucked up. To put the smile back on Juni’s face. To see her look at me the way she did when we first started messing around. I was being selfish, it was the only way I knew how to be with Juni.
“Let me fix this, Juni.” I softly grabbed her hand into mine. “Give me another chance, baby. I fucked up, but I can make it right. I love you too much to let you go,” I said, placing all my feelings on the line.
“No,no, you can’t,” Juniper sadly said, shaking her head. I felt my heart breaking into pieces. “I’m not accepting Mixie or your baby. I refuse to keep going on like this.” She looked at me with beet red eyes.
“Fuck that, we can make this shit work.” I refused to give up on us so easily.
“We can’t. I don’t want to. I wanna move on and find a nigga who’s going to love me and me only. I don’t want a nigga I have to share with the next bitch. My next nigga is going to be just that, MY NIGGA!” Juniper raised her voice, getting hyped again. “Fuck you and this hand me down ass love you want to give me. I deserve better, and I’m going to get better.”
“Can’t no other nigga love you better than me. I know you inside and out. I’m imprinted on yo fucking soul.”
Juniper let out a sinister chuckle, and a devious look spread across her face. “I can’t wait ‘til the next nigga fucks me so good I forget all about yo tired ass. I can’t wait until my new nigga shoves his dick so deep down my throat, his name is the only name I can say. I’m praying for that day.”
I heard Frankee gasp in shock, the look of regret that crossed Juniper’s face, and the bitch nigga whining. I was aware of what was going on around me, but I couldn’t move as I tried to process what the fuck Juniper had said to me. What kind of slut bucket shit did she let come out her mouth? I wanted to slap the shit outta her for even saying that shit to me, but I wasn’t finna let her get me outta character. I didn’t beat bitches, and I wasn’t finna start ‘cause she wanted to say some foul ass shit to me.
“You know what? You might be fucking right. I need to go be with my bitch ‘cause she would never say no slut shit like that. Bitch, you wanna suck the next nigga’s dick like a ho, go do that shit. I ain’t never chased a bitch, and I’m not finna start.” Juniper had me fucked up if she thought I was finna chase behind her while she gave me her ass to kiss. I loved her, but fuck her, real talk.
“Listen. Emotions are running high. Juniper, come chill with me for the rest of the night, and Faheem, you can go where you need to go, then y’all can talk later.” Frankee tried to be the voice of reason, but my emotions were on 10,000. Wasn’t no reasoning with me.
“I’m okay, Frankee, I’m going with Kojo,” Juniper’s slow ass had the nerve to say.
“On my mama, you get in the car with that nigga, it’s a wrap with us.” I might have sounded mad as fuck, but my heart was really beating a mile a minute.
