He's Like a Drug

Wishy Washy

"Who is that female?" Rain asked Jean while they got the snacks and refreshments together for their weekly spades game. "Tasha, I told you she's one of my good friends, I brought her over cause I didn't think Bryson would be here." Jean looked up from the tray of BBQ chicken wings, celery and ranch she was organizing. "Well she keep looking at Bryson like he a snack and imma smack her ass." Rain shrugged her shoulders as she continued to cut up the cheese for the crackers and fruit tray she was making. Jean eyes grew big and she chuckled. "Chill sis, it ain't even that type of party. She just being friendly." Jean answered nonchalantly and started to carry her tray into the entertainment room, where the others were setting up for the card game. Rain quickly grabbed her tray and followed behind grabbing Jeans arm before they entered the room. "She knows about us right?!" Jean mugged her and snatched away. "If your referring to "the relationship" between y'all....she knows your his baby mother and your staying here till you get your own place." She stated simply and started back towards the rooms. "Hold up" Rain called out, this time she refrained from grabbing her, because she got the hint. "We're gonna work through this. In the mean time, I don't need you flaunting one of your friends in his face to distract him." Jean placed the tray on the sidebar with the drinks and walked back into the kitchen. Instead of grabbing the dip from the refrigerator like she planned to she stood in the middle of the room with her arms folded waiting for Rain to return. "Ok, so we gotta have this talk I see." She said as soon as Rai came into view. "Listen, I'm not trying to make this into a big deal ok. I'm just saying it seems messy  and I wouldn't expect you of all people to act like this." She responded while grabbing the chips out the pantry and started opening the bags to put them in the large serving bowls. "Messy....messy!" Jean chuckled "let me tell you sweetie, that's my brother and I watched you drag him through all your MESSY baggage during this whole pregnancy. Going back and forth with Adonis and all the drama related to him and his family, but I didn't say anything because I was trying not to get in the middle. You two obviously care about each other and we're trying to start a future together, but being honest, given what I've seen he deserves to be treated better. Now me bringing Tasha here was just what I said, she wanted to hang out and I thought it would be cool to include her in our spades night. If your looking for someone to blame for Bryson wondering eyes sweetie look in the mirror. Cause it's evident he's no longer happy in this relationship, so what you need to do is work on yourself and deal with your issues before you try and drag my brother back into your mess, because he's a good man and I'd hate to see him mistreated." She pulled the dip out fridge and put it down onnthe table in front of Rain and walked out the kitchen leaving her open mouthed and speechless.

"You playing this round?" Brayson asked Rain when she put the last try on the sidebar. "Uh...nah...umm...I was just about to go check on the baby. Yall start without me." She said looking at Jean with sad eyes before heading to the livingroom. "What's up with her"  Chad asked while everyone took their place at the table. "Man...I don't know, she acting like that since she came home." Bryson responded and started shuffling the cards. "I'll go check on babe. You go ahead and play." Khali kissed Chad's cheek and went to find Rai.

Rain had picked the baby up out the swing and was headed upstairs when Khali came out of the den. "Awww, he woke?" She asked quietly extended her arms to let her know she wanted to hold him. "Kinda, Bryson just fed him before y'all got here, I was gonna change him and put him in his crib, so he could sleep peacefully." She said handing him over, but continued up the stairs knowing Khali would follow her. "So what's been up with you?' Khali asked as she was laying the baby down on the changing table. "Nothing much, just looking for a house." She said quietly as she grabbed the diaper and wipes preparing to change the baby. "Bryson says ever since you an AB came home you've been acting weird. You ok? Do we need to get you someone to talk to? I mean there's nothing wrong admitting you need help. Lots of women go through post partum depression you know." Khali stated as she made her to the head of the changing table to play with the baby's hands. "What? Is that he told you? That i have post partum depression?" She shook her head as she put the poop diaper in the diaper genie. "Well....no, but he said you were acting weird, so.....I just assumed..." Rain fastened the velcro on the diaper and snapped the onsie on AB. "Khali, your brother told me he doesn't see this working out the day before I left the hospital. He said it was OK for me and baby to stay until I found a house since I let my apartment go." Khali let the baby's hand go so Rain could pick him up and she ran her hands through her hair. "Is it because you named him Adonis Bryson?" Rai rolled her eyes as she laid the baby on his back in the crib and turned on the mobile, which played soft music to help him fall back to sleep. "Apparently that was just the icing on the cake of bad choices I've made in our relationship that pushed him away." She wiped at a tear that fell down her cheek before she turned on the baby monitor and grabbed the hand held one motioning for Khali to follow her out of the room. Turning off the lights she left the door open and leaned against the wall in the hallway finally allowing her emotions to spill over as she silently cried thinking about it. "He thinks I'm still in love with Adonis and according to Jean I've dragged him through my mess for long enough." She put her hands on her cheeks and wiped at the stream of tears as she tries to gain control. "Wow! I had no idea? Come here sweetie." Khali pulled Rain into a hug and rubbed her back. "Wait...so....is Tasha supposed ti be here for Bryson, because there's more than enough of us to play spades and I was wondering why all of a sudden Jean wanted to invite her friend?!" Rain sniffled and pulled back "That's what I thought too, but Jean said she was just trying to get her friend to join our spades games. But apparently I'm not the only one that can see through that lie?" Shaking her head she wiped at her face again. "Let me go in this bathroom and situate myself. I don't wanna go down there like this." Khali nodded her head "Yeah, go ahead. Take your time sweetie. Everything's gonna be alright, you guys can work through this I know it. He loves you so much Teegan, I can tell by the way he talks about you. Hell he moved his whole life here for you, something Jean hasn't been able to get him to do for years, so I know he not just gonna let you go like that." Rain shrugged her shoulders "Yeah, I guess." She said softly, attempting to smile as she disappeared into the bathroom and closed the door. Khali shook her head the whole time going back to the den. Jean know she wrong as two left shoes for that. She thought to herself. But Khali was confident that Bryson would see through Jeans attempt and not fall for the temptation. Her eyes opened wide when she saw Tasha placing a plate of chicken wings, dip and chips in front of Bryson and a glass of Pepsi. "Well damn! That escalated quickly!" She said as she made her way to the empty chair across from Jean. Chad shook and head and breathed out heavily "Ey...what I tell you about that. Mind the business that pays you baby ok?!" Bryson eyebrows creased together as he chewed. Jean chuckled and Tasha smiled pulling a chair up beside Bryson. "I was telling Jean I never played spades before, but I would like to learn and Bryson offered to show me by watching him play his hand." Khali huffed as she picked up the cards scattered in front of her. "Oh pay close attention dear, cause he plays his hand very well." Chad put his hand on his forehead and dragged it down his face. "Come on now" he mumbled. "What's that supposed to mean? You got something to say to me little girl? Speak up?" Jean interrupted  "Ok, there's no need this. It's none of your business like your husband said, so let's just start this game." Tasha just sat there listening, curious about what they were talking about. "I wasn't gonna say nothing, but how you got the nerve to tell me to mind my business when you got this female all in Bryson face when Rain Is still here? Physically and emotionally. The poor girl is balling her eyes out right now, and if she would've seen what I came into she would really be sick!" Bryson immediately got up. "There you go running to her rescue again. That's exactly what she plans on you doing. She got you eating out the palm of her hand and you too blind to see it." Jean said as she sat back in her chair and folded her arms. "What?" He stopped and turned to face Jean. "Just the other day you was all on her side saying you know her and you can tell she genuinely cares for me and all that! Now you saying she pulling my leash like some lost puppy." He threw his hands up "Yo...I can't with you, you too wishy washy. I thought she was supposed to be your girl." Jean leaned up, cause she felt like he was coming at her and over a broad too! She wasn't about to let that slide. "Yeah...you talking about when you came crying to me about her playing with your emotions. She's my friend true, but your my brother and I be damn if imma choose the side of anyone manipulating my blood." Bryson blew out a breath and turned to leave the room again. "Yo...you was wrong for that one." Chad spoke up. "I don't know what you trying to have us in the middle of, but we came to play spades and have a good time, not to be apart of some badly written soap opera. Khali come on baby, I ain't got time for this." He extended his hand to his wife to help her up. "Listen I didn't come here to break up a home, you told me he didn't fuck with her no more and she was here cause she didn't have anywhere else to go. I'm not for the drama. I apologize to all y'all for allowing her to bring me in this. I'm out." Tasha stood up and left. Khali was standing holding hands with Chad, he had started to lead her out as well, but she tugged at his hand. "Hold up a minute baby." She turned to Jean to address the situation "What is going on with you? You were the main one rooting them on, hell you were the one that brought them together even though you knew about all the drama Rain was facing. I know you say you chose Brysons feelings over her, but she's still like family. She hasn't shown me that she's being grimey, yeah she got caught up with her emotions with two men, but she loves Bryson anyone can see that. She confided in you about what she was going through even when all of us were in the dark about it. I'm not gone believe you would just turn on a friend like that. Something must've happened." Khali looked to Jean expecting some type of explanation, but instead was met with a screw face. "All I can see that happened here is she got you fooled too. Now gone with yo husband, cause you know you don't want no smoke." Khali eyebrows knit together "What?!" She felt like Jean was low key challenging her. "Uhn uhn....let's go, and I mean now. This will not be like last time, I'm not allowing you to get in the middle of this." Chad spoke up and practically yanked Khali arm. "DANG baby.....ok" She said tripping over her own feet trying to get her step back after he pulled her off balance. Jean just chuckled and shook her head. "They'll find out soon enough." She got up and left as well without saying goodbye. She already knew Bryson was cuddling up to Rain, so she didn't even bother.
