Diondré
_________

Sunday
2:48pm|

Dionnis and I finally pulled up at our parents house. Our mom wanted it to be an intimate dinner gathering with just the four of us, I didn't mind at all once we get this shit resolved.

"Hope and pray Dion no play ignorant today" I say out loud but more to myself making Dionnis chuckle.

"You know him, just prepare for the bullshit because it gone come" Dionnis tells me.

We exit the jeep and head inside the house. We both stop in the living room and wait for one of them to kindly grace us with their presence.

The front door opens a few minutes later and our father walks through it: "I know I am late, I don't need to hear it" he spoke gruffly to us.

Dionnis roll his eyes and I kiss my teeth leaning back into the sofa. He head up stairs and shortly after our mom proceeded down the steps and I know she's trying to avoid him at all costs.

"Lunch is ready boys, head to the dinning room please" our mother says while walking pass the room which we're sitting in.

We stood to our feet and walked towards the dinning room as instructed and take our corresponding seats that we use whenever we're together as a family, our mom is very organized and particular.

We waited for Dion to join us before eating and jump starting the meeting. My patience was running thin but I tried my utmost best not to let it show, my mother on the other hand doesn't give a shit because every now and then she hisses revealing her annoyance.

Our father walks into the room and sits at the head of the table, I look over to my mother to see if she has any interjections but she kept it quiet.

We said grace then start taking food from the center of the table and putting it on our plates, we would bypass whatever we didn't want.

"How's Lya doing Dré?" My mother asks without raising her face from her food and fix her table cloth on her lap.

"She is good, called earlier to say she'll be staying with anéyah for awhile and they're throwing a little get together today" I reply hoping the mention of her names does something to my brother.

"Oh that's nice, do you still speak to anéyah?" She then asks and I clear my throat.

"Uhh... yes I do, she did what she had to do in order to protect us and I respect her for that" I state glancing at Dionnis and he rolls his eyes ignoring my obvious shade parade.

"I see, hopefully I can speak with her soon" she says and begins to eat.

Dion clears his throat "I didn't know you and anéyah broke up" he says directing his question to Dionnis.

"Yes awhile now" D answered dryly.

"Why though? I thought you were madly in love with her, I saw the way you looked at her" Dion states trying to make conversation with Dionnis while Dionnis shoots me a mugging stare.

I send a middle finger his way before picking up the fork and start to eat. "Today is not about me, let's just eat and get straight down to business" Dionnis says changing the topic.

We all ate in silence and when I felt like everyone was done I began to speak "Wah unuh really a do?" I question and my father looks at me puzzled.

"No watch me so, a you and mommy me a talk to" I state waiting for answers.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, do with what?" Our father asks acting oblivious.

"Yuh nah cheat pon mommy?" I sternly asked.

A surprised expression flashed across his face and he quickly mask it but I saw it before he could.

This breda yah just sickening.

"I don't know what you are talking about enuh" he goes again reigning lies.

"Okay since you waan act stupid, hol' dis" I hand him the brown envelope.

He takes it and open it slowly pulling out the photos with his hands shaking like old unable people.

I watch as his eyes browse over each photo then turn to where our mother is sitting. By now she has her head bowed because she saw the confirmation she needed all over his face. She has nothing to be ashamed of she did her part as his faithful wife, he is just the one that's being worthless and ungrateful.

Wasteman move and me no rate him for dat.

He didn't bother to say anything and it doesn't make sense he says anything either when it comes to what he's holding in his hands. All we're looking for is a solution since divorce isn't an option, he either has to end this secret relationship/fling whatever he may call it or I tell the senator and everybody a go feel the squeeze inna this bumbo.

"All Dionnis and I want is for you to do right by our mother. You have one in two choices, you either end whatever this is or I will personally tell the senator about the affair myself" I say laying down his options.

"Francesca I'm so sorry I hurt you" he turns to our mother apologizing but she doesn't acknowledge him.

I know she's crying I can see the tears falling on her clothes as she kept her head bowed. I hate to see her hurting like this she didn't deserve it, she was never a soft person, never showed emotions so to see her like this shows she is truly in love with our father.

"Okay me will end it tonight" Dion says to us with his eyes not moving from our mother.

"That's all I want to hear. Mommy no worry bout nothing hopefully in a few months certain things fall back into place" I tell her.

The house help Antoinette comes and clears the table. "Wah gwaan aunty" I greet her and she looks up with a smile on her face. "Just a give thanks enuh" she says and I nod "that's good".

"Come let me help you see aunty" Dionnis says as he rush to her side and take up a few dishes from the table and turn to take them to the kitchen.

Antionette has been working for my parents since I was in diapers. She helped raised both Dionnis and I throughout our childhood. Growing up Dionnis was always close to her and helped her around the house even after she would dismissed him a few times and telling him it was her job not his.

He didn't care he loved to help her do chores; we never saw her as just the help, she was like a second mother to us since our parents were barely home.

I can hear Dionnis laughter sounds from the kitchen followed by her hearty chuckles. She would always tell us a joke no matter how serious a situation may seem.

Dion excuse himself from the table and Francesca finally raise her head, with her eyes crimson red and swollen. "You do know he's not worth your tears? I know you love him and you've been together for what 30 years? But you need to start thinking about yourself more because it's clear he's not considering your feelings before he makes his foolish decisions" I tell my mother.

"31 years" She corrects me shamelessly and starts to sob.

"Aht aht, no more crying" I warn her and she sighs then reply by saying "okay" in an extremely low tone.

She gets up from her seat "I am going upstairs to lay down". I stand to my feet also and walk around to her pulling her body into mine and placing my arms around her hugging her tight enough.

"We're going to leave but I will be back in the week before I return to Miami and one more thing make sure you make it to my engagement party" I whispered to her and she pushes me away from her.

"You're lying !" She smiles up at me.

"I am serious, I proposed to her last Friday" I tell her and she squeals with joy.

"Oh my gosh, Diondré my baby I'm so happy for you, I never thought I would live to see this day" she rejoices with her hands in the air.

"Thank you merciful father" she then says and hug me tightly. I kiss her forehead then she release her arms.

"You can nap easily now, we'll talk later" I tell her.

"Okay darling" my mother says and walk towards the stairs.

"Bwoy Dionnis ley we go" I shout and he comes jogging with his mouth filled with cake.

"Mek you a eat so much you breed nuh" I sat heckling him.

"No me mussy breed anéyah to pussyclarrt" he jokes but I hope he knows he is right with that statement.

I said my goodbyes to Antoinette and head outside to the jeep since Dionnis went ahead of me.

Anéyah
__________

"I still can't believe you're pregnant and the other parts but wow" Jennifer says still trying to comprehend what I told her last night.

I shrug with a small smile on my face.

"But how did the argument come about? You didn't tell me that part" my mother says taking a seat next to me on the stool.

"Yes I didn't get that part either" Aaliyah says sitting on the other side of me and Lya sighs then leans against the kitchen cupboards with her arms folded underneath her breasts.

Lawd mek dem yah love me story suh?

"Well... okay" I said then start telling them what transpired.

Flashback

"Kira is coming out of the hospital today and I want her to move into the house temporarily until everything is sorted out" Dionnis tells me

"Wait wait wait, who is Kira again?" Jennifer asks loudly as she snaps her fingers to get my attention.

"The same so called baby mother that we fell out over mommy" I answered refreshing her memory.

"Oohh yes, okay continue" my mother says ushering me to go on.

"Like I was saying...".

Flashbacks continue....

"You know our history Dionnis, can't you get a caretaker for her and the baby in the meantime?" I inquired as I fold my arms roughly underneath my breasts.

"I don't have the time to search for one, come nuh babes she will stay downstairs you won't even know she's here" he informs me.

"No I do not agree with this, you are wrong for making this decision without consulting with me first" I state standing on my word.

"This is why I didn't tell you anything" he says frustratedly then lay his back flat on the bed and place his hands over his head like he has woman problems and I know for sure I don't stress him out so it cannot be me.

"Hmm" I hum and slowly move my body to the edge of the bed.

"Where you going?" He asks me and I kiss my teeth.

"Home where else" I rudely state.

I know he hates it when I use insolent tone of voice towards him because whenever I do his whole demeanor changes. His eyes turn dark, his jaw clenches and his body gets tense, I could never read him when she's like this which he is right now.

"No badda wid the foolishness anéyah come back to bed it's after 1 in the morning" I know he was serious by the base in his voice that sent chills down my spine.

"Only god knows where you been all night, strolling in here after mid damn night telling me your crazy baby mama gonna be staying here in this house with us?!!" I exclaimed as I roughly swing the walk in closet door open to pack my bags.

He said nothing in return but I felt the bag being yanked from my grasps and thrown across the room.

He grabbed me by my throat and leaned my back against the big long oversized Chester drawer. His grip wasn't tight so I knew he wasn't trying to harm me, he just wanted me to calm down.

His cold lips captured mine and as much as I wanted to push him away I couldn't get myself to do it. I stayed still and let him have his way with me, his strong muscular hands lift me on top of the drawer with our lips still joined together.

He part my legs opened wide and slowly trail his right fingers from my knee to my core and chuckle when he doesn't feel any underwear. I was so high off the peppermint taste of his lips, the old spice scent of his deodorant that never seems to go away, it captures all of my senses and made my barriers break down.

His lips move to my cheek then down to my neck where he placed gentle kisses causing me to squirm and yearn for him even more. "Why-you-want-to-leave-me" he stop and say after each gentle kiss.

"I don't" my voice comes out barely audible.

"So why you packing up?" He faces me with his brows furrowed.

"Because you're upsetting me" I state.

"Every time things get hard you gone up and leave?" He queries but I am unable to answer when his fingers are curling in and out of my vagina.

I shook my head in response "Use your words anéyah" his deep husky tone sends me over the edge. "No" I whisper loud enough for him to hear.

"Good" he states and go on his knees to devour my pussy with his mouth. The way he moves his tongue is sending electrifying vibrations from my feet to my upper body and I can't seem to control my hormones anymore.

"Oohh yes baby" I moan from a low to a high pitch as he moves his tongue and lips faster like he's trying to win my soul.

I writhe his face as the pleasure gets more intense and in no time I have made my release with him still latched on to my clit and licking me clean.

He pulls me closer to the end of the drawer and slowly edge his way inside of me "how you still so tight? Is drape you wan drape me up?" He says between hiss teeth as he began to stroke and find his momentum.

"This you waan keep from me?" He asks with his voice sounding like a growl. I try to focus on his words but I couldn't I was too high off of pleasure.

"Eehhh anéyah" he demands and I quickly voice my answer "no".

"Better not, this is mine" he claims.

I want to protest so bad but I'm captivated by the way he is making love to me right now. He whine his hips and I'm just realizing he has a nice loose waistline I can challenge on the dance floor but this combination during sex is deadly.

Of course I agreed to his stupid decision for the love of sweet orgasms.

A week went by and everything was going good, sometimes I would forget Kira was here but when the baby starts to cry reality kicks in.

I put our differences aside and held the baby once or twice for her to take a shower. That's how willing I was to make this work for the sake of the newborn child. He didn't have any features of Dionnis, I wasn't trying to be petty nor trying to hold a grudge or anything but it just wasn't there. He more looked like his mother and after doing some digging on this derrick person, he sure does resemble him but I didn't tell Dionnis that either.

I wanted him to let the DNA results decide his fate so I let it rest like I let a lot of other things.

It has been two weeks since Kira moved into the house and quite frankly her behavior was too good to be true. I believe she has something up her sleeves but I guess I would just have to wait until the shoe falls to find out what exactly.

I felt really sick today and decided to just retire to bed instead of wondering off downstairs like I usually do everyday to be awaken up late that night by a furious Dionnis.

His tone was cold and unrecognizable "Why the fuck did you push Kira down the stairs in her state anéyah!" He exclaimed with rage.

"Excuse me? I have been in this room since I got home from work and Kira neither her baby was anywhere in sight!" I said matching his tone.

"Cut the bullshit you didn't want her here in the first place, that's not the right way to get her out" he firmly states releasing my arm.

I kiss my teeth and lay back down on my pillow to try get some sleep.

"Kira is at the hospital again thanks to you" he harshly scolds.

"Mmm, so a me you really a blame for the emergency birth?" I scuff and query.

"No me say that but it damn sure looks like you may have been the cause" Dionnis jeers.

"Okay I see, I have been trying to save you and your blasted family while your ungrateful ass is here shouting at me over an accident I did not caused" I rudely state.

"What do you mean by that? Saving me and my family?" He questions and I remained quiet.

"Anéyah I asked you a fucking question!" He shouts and I jump in fear.

"I have been working with the FBI a little over three years and I was recently given an assignment to take down you and your family" I responded with my face still turned away from him.

"So you're telling me I've been sleeping with the enemy this whole time?" He steps away from the bed with a distressing look on his face.

"No no you haven't I-" he cuts me off before I could finish.

"Save it anéyah me done see you a one crosses me should keep far away from and you a talk bout Kira when you just as fucking bad if not worst" he states and I couldn't help the tears that were falling from my eyes.

"Anyways me a come outta dis before things end up worst than how it is" he tells me as he walks towards the door opening it and slamming it behind him.

I couldn't go back to sleep that night, I cried and cried until morning cleared by then I was too weak to get out of bed to do anything at all for myself.

A week went by and he wouldn't return my calls or show up to the house while I am at home.

Presently

"Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you and he wouldn't listen to your side. Were there any cameras in the house specially in that area?" My mother asks.

"Yes but he didn't checked them or maybe he did after he stormed off but decided not to return because of what I told him during the argument" I state reminiscing on that faithful day.

The door bell rang and my mother got up from her seat to let the incoming guests inside, within 30 minutes the party was we in full swing and everyone was enjoying themselves.

Eric went to pick up a few of his friends so we are waiting on him to return hopefully Antwaun arrives before he does.

I knew after he mentioned throwing a going away party for Aaliyah that this was the true purpose, the party is just a cover up.

Briana and Antwaun shows up about 10 minutes after sending me a message to say they're almost here.

I am not really a people's person but I wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time. I took around a platter with finger foods that I made, I handed out shrimp kabobs first with sandwiches and allow the others that wanted something more heavy to go at the serving station.

My mother and I prepared cook up with pork and one without but contained saltfish and chicken. I did bull foot soup, chicken soup, baked bbq chicken and ribs along with the side dishes like salads, corn on the cob, fry plantain while my mom did the rice and pies, scalloped potato pie and lasagna, food Americans can eat.

Everyone is having a good time and the DJ is playing good old school jams. Eric is dancing behind my mom and I smile, they both look really happy together.

The Dj stops playing and Jennifer turns around to see Eric down on one knee and I take out my phone to capture the moment. Everyone is caught up in what Eric is saying and I try my hardest not to obstruct the video by cheering during his proposal speech.

"Will you please marry me Jennifer Marshall?" Eric asks and we all wait in suspense since my mom isn't answering.

"Suppose she says no" I heard Antwaun whisper and I try hard not to laugh even though it would be sad  if she actually does.

"Took you long enough!" She says out loud and rush into his arms throwing him down on his butt.

We all cheered and congratulated them both. We're all excited and happy for our mom she deserves this. I'm going to start searching for a house to lease since my mother and her husband would need their own privacy after they get married and I'm getting a second addition to my own little family.

I rub my belly and smile.
