“Hey, Mercer, you getting back with shorty or you gone let a real man handle that?” I couldn’t see who asked, but Devin’ssmile left, and his ass went off. Tyla’s ass was laughing and started twerking mouthing for me to put it on him.
“These nigga’s ain’t got no manners. What you doing baby mama?”
“Nothing, I’m packing.”
“What you got on?” Blushing, I moved the phone for him to see my booty shorts and tank.
“Dammnnn!!!!” You heard all the players yelling out causing me to laugh. His ass didn’t like that shit at all.
“You smiling and shit like you wanna get knocked the fuck out. Only compliments you get come from me. You got it?”
“Yeah, and that means you need to give me one then.” I don’t know why I was playing this game with him, but it felt good.
“That ass look good as fuck baby mama. You miss me?” I knew he was trying to show off for his friends, so I played along.
“Is a pig’s pussy pork?” He fell out laughing causing me to laugh.
“You so extra. I’ll see you tomorrow. Coach ass about to give a long ass speech acting like we didn’t win.”
“You know I watched the game. Go back to doing your fadeaway. You’re undefendable when you do that. If all else fails, drive it to the basket. You gone get the foul every time because of your form.” His ass shook his head at me.
“I’m so glad you can’t go dogging me out on yo lil show no more. Ain’t nobody gone see that podcast right away.”
“You fucked up for that. Devin, you already know I’m scared, don’t say that.”
“You know I’m playing. If I have to pay a mufucka to watch it, you gone be good. You need some money to get the stuff?”
“I already bought it with the last money you gave me. I’m okay for now. Just don’t get to looking crazy if it don’t take right off and I get to begging to keep my lights on.”
“My shorty ma will never have to beg nobody. I got you. I’ll call you back before I lay it down. Hurry up and bring that ass here.”
“Okay.” He blew me a kiss before hanging up and Tyla was looking at me with an expression that said I was full of shit.
“What’s that you said about not being together?” I waved her off and grabbed some more stuff to put in the next box.
“He just fronting for them niggas, so nobody tries to talk to me. His ass ain’t doing shit but playing.”
“Ain’t nobody playing but you Smokie. You walk around the hood all day playing. He know where your mama stay.”
“Shut the fuck up.” I cut her off from reciting Friday.
“I’m just saying. Name one person in the hood that play like that?”
“Bitch, you supposed to be helping me pack and you ain’t did nothing but run your mouth. Come help me, so I can be finished.”
“Okay. I’m just saying, if you not trying to be with that man, you better stay here. It seems like he thinks yall together.” I thought about what she said, but I wasn’t about to get my hopes up. Unless he showed me different, I was going to keep my feelings tucked and leave it at co-parenting. Even though my pussy was begging for him right now. This shit was going to be hard, but I was going to try my best.
31-DEVIN “THE MERCENARY” MERCER
“Why you dropping me off? I’m bored as fu-… hell.” I looked at Landon like he was crazy.
“You changed that as if you still didn’t curse, and I’m dropping you off because I don’t want to hear the arguing today. You don’t like Brianna, and I don’t want their first day to be fucked up.” He ended up with a goofy ass grin on his face confusing me. “What?”
“Me and Brianna good.”
“Since when?” I know the last time they saw each other he was cutting her up.
“The last time she was here, you went in to get her food and she told me I could talk to Mila if I wanted to when they left. Either I call them, or Mila call me every day.” I was giving him a mean side eye causing him to laugh.
