Unconditional Love

Chapter Twenty-Three - Kenneth

"I'm not trying to get kicked out of here Tiff, my daughter and Key are still here."

"Okay, remember that. The shower was great even though it would have been better if you were there for Lay. Anyhow, your ratchet ass family showed up and showed their ass. It was stupid though because they had stayed and participated almost until the end. If you ask me, they did the shit on purpose.

Monica was leading the pack wanting to know why you weren't there. They didn't need to know, it wasn't their business. But your family just couldn't take that for an answer. One thing led to another and they started throwing jabs at Lay about how she was stupid for staying with you, how you had your real family in a million dollar mansion, and you were only playing house with Lay when you felt like it.

Oh and let's not forget they bought a bunch of disrespectful gifts. It didn't stop there though. They told her how they talk about her behind her back with your mother and how she believes that Lay is a gold digger."

I look at my mom and she is crying. Why? She wasn't the one who got hurt by all this bullshit. That's probably why my dad hit her ass.

"You would have been proud of Layla. She held her own this time. Don't get me wrong I love how my girl ignores the shit out of those hoes, making their blood boil. But this time, she clapped back.

Have you ever seen a proper person diss the fuck out of someone? My baby let them know that she's responsible for their livelihood and can snatch that shit away with the blink of an eye. Oh, and Lela may have knocked Monica's ass out. She deserved it.

Your stupid ass friend wouldn't let me go because I would have beat all their asses. Your mother and Lay -"

She was cut off by my dad. Now he's pissing me off.

"June, I told you that I will tell you everything later. Peach, you know everything that is going on, don't make it worse. I'm not trying to keep it away from you but trust me when I tell you this is not the time for you to find out about all of this."

"Pops, when will be the right time? When Key wakes up I'm sure she isn't going to let me do a damn thing. I already fucked over Lay by not showing up and going off on her earlier. Let me at least try to make something right for her."

"The fuck did you just say? You went off on who? I know you didn't just say you went off on my bestie, who is pregnant with your fucking child. Pops is right, it's not the time right now but I'm knocking you in yo shit as SOON as you step outside this hospital."

Great, now I'm going to have to shoot baby Mike. I can't fight my sister. She's savage with her hands and my dad will beat my ass even though she would have started it.

"Tiff, I'm already beating my own ass. It wasn't how you think. I had Lay, Mama, and Key all coming at me from different ways. I kept telling her that I couldn't come to the shower because of complications and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Key was whining every five minutes and stressing Asia the fuck out, and Mama was being Mama.

Lay was just the person I was talking to when I finally snapped. I told her to cancel the shower and I'll make it up to her but not in a very nice way. She told me she loved me, congratulated me on Asia's birth, and hung up. I know that was her way of saying fuck you. I tried calling her back to apologize but she must have turned the phone off."

Ry'lo and Aiden shake their heads. Lela looks ready to pop my ass like they say she did Monica and Tiff is planning where to dump my body. Aiden is the one to speak up.

"You are my best friend and I'm always gon' be a hundred with you. You deserve to get your ass beat. Lay has been by your side through all this bullshit and you should have never got out of line with her. You keep this stupid shit up and you're gon' lose her for good. On everything I love, if you disrespect her like that again then I'm on your ass. You don't have to worry about Tiff, the twins, or anyone else. I'm the nigga that's taking you out, understand?"
