What About Us: A Crazy Love Story Read Free Page B

from hurting.
    “Has anyone ever told you how sexy you are, when you get pissed off?” He questions, while taking a seat on the hood of his black 2012 Audi A8L. I definitely know my cars and this car is at least $45,000; and that’s not including the custom rims on this bad boy.
    I’m impressed...
    “Have a nice evening, Jabari.”
    I walk away from his cocky ass.
    Who does this nigga think he is, flirting with me?
    “Why are you walking away from me, Ms. Sims? You are sexy, when you get angry. I was just giving you a compliment.”
    “Thanks for the compliment,” I say over my shoulder, while climbing the stairs.
    “Would you mind me coming inside to use the bathroom, Ms. Sims?”
    “You’re a man, so piss on the side of the house,” I suggest to him.
    Now we are face to face.
    “I have to do number two, Ms. Sims. I’m sure that you don’t want me shitting on the side of your house.”
    “Isn’t that where dogs shit at; On the side of the house?” I laugh nice and hard after that joke.
    “That was cold, Ms. Sims. I’m not a bad guy at all. If you would let me explain the reason why I was so cold towards Ja’nelle earlier, then you might be more understanding.”
    “Fine, you can come in and handle your business, Jabari. But your explanation is not wanted or needed. I already know plenty about men like you.”
    “What is it that you think you know about me, Ms. Sims?”
    After closing and locking the door behind himself, he makes himself comfortable on my couch.
    “I know that you probably have women throwing themselves at you, left and right. I know that you say whatever it is to get what you want. And I know that you ain’t shit. I think that about sums it all up.”
    I take a seat next to him on the couch, crossing my legs. I dare him to say that I am wrong.
    “You have me all wrong. It is true that I have a few women, who want my attention. But I don’t say anything to get what I want. As far as me not being shit, I beg to differ. I am the shit , Ms. Sims.
    That’s the reason why you’re over there wondering what has your daughter so sprung. Now tell me that I’m lying?”
    He moves closer to me on the couch.
    “I will admit that Ja’nelle being head over hills in love with you has thrown me for a loop. That’s because she has never mentioned you until today. Then to top that off, I’ve never seen her so crazy about a man; not since she met her husband, Hasaan.”
    “I want to let you know, my intentions are not to hurt or harm your daughter. What started off as two people getting know each other has turned into much more. I won’t lie and say that I don’t have feelings for Ja’nelle, because that’ll be a lie.
    I might actually love your daughter, but I’m no fool either. This can all change at a blink if an eye. She could decide that she wants to work it out with her husband. Then I’ll be the one who is hurting.”
    “I get what you are saying to me, Jabari. However, you already knew going into this that she was a married woman. I believe that you may have some feelings for her, but please know my allegiance lies with my son-in-law. He is a standup guy, who I know for a fact loves my daughter.
                  They may be going through something right now, but what couple doesn’t? I want you to stay away from Ja’nelle. If she leaves her husband, then I wouldn’t see a problem with the two of you being together.
    She seems to really be feeling you and I can see why. But the fact still remains that she is married.”
    I begin to roll up another joint. This isn’t my mess, but doing damage control has caused my damn head to start hurting.
    “I can stay away from Ja’nelle, Ms. Sims; the question is, can she stay away from me?”
    “What do I have to do for you to leave my baby alone?”
    “How about getting a brother some of that good food that you were cooking earlier for starters?”
    “I can do that. Why don’t you go and freshen up in the bathroom, while
