Chapter Five!

Christina

“Hey baby, have you been avoiding me?” Damn Miguel. I turned around sweetly. “Of course not baby I’ve just been busy planning my birthday party ya know.” He nodded his head as he looked me deep in the eye. “Lets skip the next class baby.” He was not the innocent sweet guy I thought I knew. “You know I like perfect attendance and my dad would kill me if my grades dropped. ” He smacked his lips. “Damn do you always listen to your parents?” I crooked my neck and looked him up and down. “Damn what you want a young dummy? You need to find you another woman to boss around.” He began to snarl. “Who you talking to Christina?” How much can one person work my nerves I thought. “Damn are you dumb too?” Before I could get it out good he slammed me against the lockers. “Bitch you must have.” My brother pulled him back and punched him in the face. “Nigga keep your hands off my sister.” Damn now I’m gone have to hear a lecture. “Mind your business bro.” Miguel seethed at Chris. “I’m not you bro and my sister is my business. I dare you to touch her again. Tina get ready to go to class and stay away from this clown.” I just hung my head grabbed my book and backpack and headed to my next class. I could hear Chris behind me. I turned around and looked at him and he just shook his head. I know he’s disappointed. I hope he don’t tell Dad.

Chris Jr

I can’t believe my sister is messing around with a clown ass dude like Miguel. I don’t trust him at all. Something about him seems so sinister and sneaky. I know my sister like him but I hope she see the snake before she get bit with his poison. I have been watching him for a minute and I always catch him watching her. And not like a loving boyfriend. Like a crazy lunatic. He messing with the right family though. Before I see my sister fall under his spell he will end up in body bag.

I was sitting in my last period when I saw him past the door. I got up and ran out. Catching him by his jacket. “Where you think you going?” He turned around. “Why? I’m not bothering you? I nodded my head. “I wasn’t playing. I want you to stay away from my sister.” His lip lifted like he was disgusted so I smiled. “Mr. Brown what are you doing?” I turned around. “Nothing Ms James.” I walked back to my class. “Do I need to call your father?” I shook my head “No ma’am.” Its funny how these female teachers quick to call my daddy but never want to call my ma. I’m not stupid. They just don’t know my mother will show all her ghetto fabulousness if she knew these teachers were up here flirting with my pops. He always acted like he didn’t see but he did. There was no way he could miss it. I sat in the class wondering if I should tell my pops about Miguel.

Robyn

Keeis told me Alanna had been asking about me. I guess I will show her if she really needed to see me. I just wanted to know how she reacts to actually seeing me instead of asking about me. I know she takes a yoga class downtown. I’m gone pop up and crash it. I eased downtown with grace. I knew she was there cause I saw her car in the parking lot.

“Hey girl.” I waved at Alanna as I found a seat. She looked like she had seen a ghost, good. “Hey….I was wondering why I haven’t heard from you.” She spoke through tight lips. “Girl Christina has this seven thousand dollar bracelet and I’m bout to kill her if she don’t tell me where she got it from.” I could see the panic written all over her face. “Maybe she got it from that little boy she’s been seeing?” she stuttered. She was falling into my hands quite nicely. “I didn’t know I told you about him. How do you know?” I crooked my head to the side. She jumped up just as class was beginning. “Girl I got to go I’m supposed to be meeting Marquis.” I just put on a fake smile and waved. I knew that was a lie cause Marquis is laid up with Mel at this very moment. I just wanted to see how she reacted to that little info. I’m gone torture her very slowly. No point in getting right to it. I want her to feel the wrath that I’m gone let loose on her ass.

Chris

Life has been very good for my wife and I. She’s running her businesses quite well and so am I. My babies turn sixteen next week but we haven’t done anything to celebrate Christmas. I remember when the kids where born it was such a delight to hold them in my arms. I could also remember our very first huge argument. I thought we were headed for divorce court…..

FLASHBACK

“Hey, where were you? I’ve been calling all day.” I asked Robyn as she stepped in the door. The kids were almost one but that didn’t give her the right to just disappear. “I was taking care of business. Why?” She was very much pushing me. “Why? Hell I was worried sick about you and what kind of business were you taking care of?” She plopped down on the couch and released a breath. “The C.I.A, you know they want me and I’m thinking of going in.” She begun to bite on her lip. Smoke started to come out of my nose. “You got life and bullshit fucked up if you think you doing that shit.” She jumped up. “You not my daddy Chris I can do whatever the hell I want.” I felt like slapping the hell out of Robyn. “What about the twins?” She humped her shoulders. “I’m still their mother. I will take care of them just let me do this.” I racked my brain trying to see why. Why does my wife want to do this? I came up with nothing. “You know what? You are a grown woman you can make the decisions for yourself but if you choose to work in the C.I.A, we are done.” I siad it with such clarity and forcefulness she had to believe me. I grabbed my jacket turned around and walked out the door. I knew she was shocked behind me but I didn’t give a damn. Yes I love my wife and I don’t want to be without her but I be damned if she don’t put me first. I jumped in my Lamborghini and sped off. With the windows down and the wind slapping against my face I knew some decisions had to be made. I called Melissa.

She answerd on the third ring. “What’s up bro in law?” I cringed knowing her loyalty lies with Robyn.
“Hey I want to talk to you about Robyn. Can we meet somewhere?” I could feel the hesitancy through the phone. “Ugh yeah, I guess if it has to do with Robyn.” I didn’t want her to think I was coming on to her. “Absolutely.” We agreed to meet and I headed that way. Pulling up to the gun range I got out of the car and leaned against the door. Mel was right behind me. “What’s going on?” She leaned against her car as well. “Robyn trying to go into the C.I.A and I need you to help me stop her.” Her eyes bucked as she turned up her nose. “I can’t help you with that Chris.” Damn and to think I thought I had a way in. “You gone have to let Robyn do this. She’s doing it for you and the kids so be grateful.” I was now taken aback. “Obviously you got it confused. She’s not helping me with this bullshit.” Mel rolled her eyes. “They are using you and the kids as pawns for her to say yes. You need to talk to your wife. I shouldn’t have told you anything.” What the fuck? The C.I.A is basically blackmailing her in a threat to me and the kids. Not if I could help it. By the time I looked up Mel was cranking up her car and driving off. “Shit shit shit.”
