Bet On It. (Short Story)

10

These are my confessions. 

Cairo

"Mommy hurry up!" Ahzeer yelled from Si's office. We were at her shop waiting for her to finish up. The family wanted to go out to dinner and I had Sienna's car so me and my lil nigga decided to wait on her, which was a bad idea since Ahzeer seems to be very impatient, We've only been here for ten miuntes and he's throwing a fit. Sienna walked into the office with a comb in one hand and her other hand on her hip. She looked cute as hell, her hair was in a bun, and she had on a loose fit white tee, camo jacket, ripped up jeans and chesnut short ugg boots. She stared long and hard at Ahzeer.

"Don't get popped! You know better." She scolded. He sighed and went back to playing on her Ipad. She let out a frustrated sigh and left. We waited another good twenty minutes until she came back and grabbed her purse. We followed her out, she locked up the shop making sure the alarm system was on and told me to drive since she was tired. I nodded and she gave me the directions to the resturaunt. We made small talk on the way, nothing major.

"Bout time ya'll got here." G said. I smirked. "Blame ya sister." She mugged me and finished tying Ahzeers shoe lace. 

"Don't talk shit Cai." She said after she sat down. 

"Ya'll dont start, please!" Lace said making all of us laugh. She knows us more than we do. Put me and Sienna in a room together and see what happens! We'll prolly kill each other.

Dinner was cool. After we ate, we left and headed back to Si's. While I was driving Shay called, I answered. 

"What?" Sienna looked at me, when she heard Shay's yelling she rolled her eyes and went back to looking at whatever was on her phone. I inwardly sighed. 

"Cairo you cannot do this to me baby! I love, I need you!" She cried. I mentally screamed since I couldn't do it with a sleeping Ahzeer in the car. 

"Shay, just stop. You sound mad desperate ma." 

"I've been with you for three fucking years Cairo, how you gon up and leave me because of that bitch and kid? I'm pregnant Cai!" I almost swereved the fuck off the road. This bitch aint pregnant and it aint mine if she is. I always and I mean always used a condom on her. I shook my head and laughed a bit. 

"The fuck you laughing for nigga?" She asked with bitterness in her voice.

"You. My nigga you funny as hell! So you mean to tell me you been using all of my money, and you pregnant with another niggas baby? Don't lie to me either Shay." 

She sighed. "Ok, yes baby, it's someone else's but we can make this work!" 

"Whose baby is it Shay?" Before she could answer, Sienna snatched the phone away from me hanging it up. I looked at her with a confused look. She just smirked and passed me the phone.

"Why the fuck you still entertaining the hoe after she done told ya ass it ain't yours?" She didn't make eye contact with me while she talked. We just pulled up to her driveway just sitting in the car. 

"I don't know Si." I shrugged.

"You love her don't you?' She finally looked up at me. I saw hurt, but curiosity in her eyes. I couldn't say it, so I just shook my head yes. She sighed and checked her phone before talking again.

"Well work shit out with her." With that  being said, she got out of the car and got Ahzeer out slamming the door and walking up  the drieway with him in her arms still alseep. I ran my hand down my face in frustration, I don't know forreal if I do love Shay. I guess I just got too comfortable with her, now that Si and Ahzeer are back in my life, I'm scared. What if Sienna leaves again? What's gon happen then? 

I walked into the house and sat on the couch with G. "Where's Lace?" 

"Upstairs wit Sienna, she rushed upstairs, she looked like she was gonna cry." He looked at me with me anger. I sighed.

"She asked me if I still loved Shay, I told he yes." G got up.

"Get up bitch nigga!" He pushed the coffee table to the side and squared up.

I got up. "Yo, you my best friend ain't no way I'm fighting you." He punched me dead in the face. I pushed his ass on the floor and started pounding his face. He rolled me over and started fucking me up, he was winning, but I still held my own. I heard Lacie and Si run downstairs and try and pull G off me. Once they did get him up, he kicked me in my side and walked away. 

"Bitch nigga always fucking disrepecting mine! Here the fuck I go tryna be piece motherfuckin maker!" He yelled as Lacie walked him outside. Sienna helped me up with tears running down her face. She helped me walk to the bathroom. She told me to sit on the counter and wait. She walked out and went for something. Minutes later she came back in with a first aid kit and her face cleaned up. She walked in between my legs and unwrapped a cotton swab, she poured a little alcohol on the swab and dabbed my chin where I was cut. I hissed at the pain. She put a band aid on it and did the same thing for my pinky. 

"I deserved that." I finally spoke up before she left the bathroom. She turned to face me. 

"You did." I got up and walked closer to her pushing on the wall softly. I bent down and kissed her lips softly. She didn't kiss back until I bit her bottom lip. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her waist bringing her closer to me. I needed her closer to me,I needed to feel her. After our kiss, she pushed me away and tried to leave but I closed the door. 

"Why?!" She yelled. 

"Why what Si?" 

"Why do you do that? Why do you make me feel this way about you?" She cried. 

"I don't mean to Si. You know I don't. I'm just confused man, I'm all types of fucked up." I sat on the floor. She sat with me and held my hand.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid. Iight?" I hate addmitting to fear or any other emotion. It makes me feel weak as fuck, and one thing I remember my dad saying to me  was "never show fear, it makes you a weak man." I've always lived by that.

"What are you afraid of Cai?" She looked at me with sincerity in her eyes.

"I'm afraid of you leaving. Shit, I'm afraid of being a father. That's why I let ya'll leave,not becasue I was choosing a hoe over you. I was scared. If I told you I loved you and I wanted to be with you I don't know how our realationship would've turned out. I ain't a man of realationships. I'm surprised me and Shay made it that far." I confessed. 

"Cai, you are one dumb motherfucker. That boy upstairs loves you! I love you! I don't know why, but I just do. You being scared fucked up what we had or was gonna have, You telling me you still in love with Shay hurt me to the core, because deep down I wanted you to tell me you weren't and that you loved me. I see that you don't though." She looked down at the floor. I lifted her head and kissed her again. 

"Stop kissing me if you're confused Cai."

I took a deep breath. "I lied Sienna. I don't love Shay, never did. Those three years I was with her, I thought about you. Ask Gerald. I tell him everything. I wanna be wit you, but I wanna know we in this together, not just when you feel like it. I want to know that if shit gets too heavy, you won't walk away like you did. I need you Si, I need you and Ahzeer. When I go back to New York I wanna go back to pack my shit up and move here with ya'll. I can't without you two. I'm too in love to leave, and I need to know you got my  back." 

"I got you Cai." She said. I pulled her towards me with her back laying on my chest and kissed her neck. 

"I love you Sienna."

"I love you too Cairo."
