Jholee & Kiandre, page 7
The minute TK pulled up to his home, he had to bite the inside of his cheek because his gate was open, which meant that Chey had run her car into it. He pulled through his gate and saw that the front of Chey’s car was messed up just like he knew it would be. He walked in the house and Chey had fucked his house up. Tables were turned over, curtains were down, glasses were broken, couches were torn up, and that was just the living room and the kitchen. In his room, Chey had cut up all his shoes, poured bleach all over his custom-made carpet, tore all his clothes down in the closet and bleached them right in the middle of the closet. After surveying the damage, he went out to the backyard, and she was sitting by the pool sipping on a martini. TK couldn’t hide his frustration as he rushed towards her, picked her up by her neck and threw her short ass in the deep end of his pool.
TK watched her struggle for a second before leaning over and picking her up by the collar of her shirt.
“TKKK!” Chey screeched.
“I have half a mind to beat your fucking ass, Cheyenne,” TK growled, and let her go again.
He watched her struggled for fifteen seconds before pulling her up again. She was damn near coughing up a lung, but TK didn’t care. It was better than killing her. TK didn’t want to kill anybody that he cared about.
“I specifically told you not to bother that fucking girl. She didn’t even fight you back, and that’s when you should have left her alone.”
“TK—”
He let her go before she could finish her sentence. This time he let her struggle under water for a little longer before pulling her up and out the water. It sounded like she was coughing up a hairball out of her throat.
“Chey, I don’t want shit else to do with you. Don’t call me or text me. None of that. When you see me, act like you don’t fucking know me, and I mean that shit from the bottom of my heart, aight?”
TK didn’t stick around for an answer, he just prayed that when he came back to his house, she would be gone. Now he was sitting outside of St. Vincent’s where he had been sitting for the last forty-five minutes. Chey didn’t even have to tell him that she was in the hospital because he knew that Chey’s little ass packed a powerful punch, and she couldn’t have gone home after they drug her lifeless body out of the store. He was afraid that if Chas hadn’t stopped the fight, she probably would have beat Jo to death.
TK finally got the balls to get out of his car and walk into the hospital. He was able to slip by the waiting room staff and through the doors in search of her room. Once he found her room, he opened the door slowly and walked into her room. The bedside light wasn’t lit well, but he could see her face and you would have thought she went rounds with a boxer instead of Chey. Her lips were swollen, and her eyes were swollen shut.
“Jo,” TK whispered her name.
When she didn’t move, TK looked up at the monitor to see that her vital signs were perfect, so she was okay in a sense, but he didn’t like the way she looked. He started rubbing on the exposed part of her arm, and she jumped.
“Hi,” she whispered. “I’m awake. Is it time for meds again, already? Don’t seem like I’ve been sleep so long. I think it’s time for a new bag of ice for my eyes.”
TK couldn’t help but to think about how sweet Jholee was even though she was probably in so much pain.
“Jo…” TK called her name again. “It’s, Dr—”
“TK. Your name is TK,” Jholee whispered. “And I don’t ever want to see you again, Dre. Kiandre. TK. Whoever you are. Not only did you put me in a situation that could have killed me, you are having sex with my best friend, Riley, and with Chey at the same time.”
“Jo, let me explain, please,” TK said and pressed his lips together.
He couldn’t believe that he was basically begging this girl to hear him out when he ain’t never begged nobody for anything.
“Please, get out, or I’m going to pull this call button,” Jo said and started feeling around for the string that Dr. Jenkins gave her, but she couldn’t find it.
TK noticed what she was feeling for and slightly moved it out of her reach because Jo was going to listen to him, whether she liked it or not.
“Jo, I’ll leave once I explain myself.”
“I don’t want to hear an explanation and don’t worry about my application. I’ll do things on my own. You and your shit, Dre, has put my family into a deeper hole than before. I’m going to be in here for three whole days. Do you know how much that’s going to cost my family? Please, just go.”
He realized that Jo wasn’t trying to hear what he was saying, so he had to get assertive with her. “I said I’m going to fucking explain myself and when I get done, I’m going to leave. Now shut the fuck up,” TK hissed, making Jholee swallow the lump that was in her throat.
She was pissed at him, but him cursing at her turned her on just a little.
“Look, well, listen, I’m done with Chey for good now. She really fucked up when she violated you like that ma. I know these words don’t make you feel better. And as far as Riley, we only fucked a few times, and we ain’t in nothing serious at all. I ain’t know nothing about her or her life, honestly. If you want me to stop talking to her then I will. I’ll pay for all your medical bills, Jo. I have to apologize for this man. Damn. You too beautiful to be laid up in here.”
Jholee’s face was hurting but she could feel her cheeks burning a little from Dre calling her beautiful. She wasn’t going to be swayed by his beautiful comment though.
“Get out, TK. You ditched me for two whole weeks. This is all your fault anyway. Had you just let me know that you didn’t want to talk to me anymore, or even told me what was up with my application, then this wouldn’t have happened,” Jholee said.
TK stopped talking to her for two weeks because he was low key pissed about that dude in the background and him dancing up on her on her Facebook live, knowing that previous night, she was riding his finger and shit. He was still mad that he couldn’t see his face good enough to know who he was.
“You right. It’s my fault. I wasn’t straight up with you. I’ll go. Just hit me up when you get out.”
“No, I don’t think I will, TK. I wish I could say that it was nice meeting you, but it wasn’t. Thank you for coming to see me, and don’t worry about the medical bills. My family will figure it out like we always do. I don’t want anything to do with you.”
He didn’t say anything in response to that, he just walked towards the door and closed it, slowly. The moment the door closed, Jholee started whimpering, and TK felt bad. TK loved Chey’s crazy ass, but he was done with her ass. The more Jholee whined, the harder TK’s jaws clinched. Jholee had finally found the string and pulled it. When the nurse came into the room, TK motioned for her to be quiet as he eased out of the room. As soon as TK was back in his car, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at all the text messages that Chey had sent.
Chey: TK, I’m sorry. Can you please come home? Please.
Chey: I’ll replace all your things.
Chey: TK, please answer me. Where are you? You better not be checking on that bitch.
Chey: Is that the only girl you been fucking behind my back?
Chey: Kiandre! I swear to God!!!!
Chey: You ain’t going to never leave me alone. What bitch is going to fuck you like me?
TK laughed before responding, please don’t text me if it ain’t about the business. First and last warning because I will put you on the block list if I have to.
Just when he was getting ready to slide his phone in his pocket, his phone rang, and it was Riley. He was getting ready to reject the phone call, but then thought against it since Jholee wasn’t going to fuck with him no more anyway.
“Yo,” TK answered the phone.
“Where you at, TK?” Riley asked.
“Sliding around. What’s up?”
“Can you slide over here?”
“Yeah, give me a minute and I’ll be over there.”
TK made a mental note to call the hospital and put his card on file to pay Jholee’s medical bills. That was the least that he could do.
TK was laying in Riley’s bed with his hands crossed behind his head, watching her bounce up and down on his dick. Riley’s body was perfectly shaped and she knew what to do on his dick. His mind was everywhere, specifically Jholee, but his dick was hard, and he needed Riley to handle that, but what Riley didn’t know was that it was his last time fucking her. He would much rather be cool with Jo than fuck Riley, even though her pussy was good and wet.
“TK, this dick is so damn good,” Riley moaned.
“Yeah? Bounce harder on it, then,” TK grunted.
Following his orders, Riley started bouncing like her life depended on it. Riley could tell that TK was getting ready to cum because of the way he pulled the corner of his lip in his mouth. She wished that he would fuck her without a rubber, but she knew that wasn’t going to happen. As soon as TK felt his nut shooting through his shaft, he gripped her thighs and raised her up. He closed his eyes as his nut filled the condom. Riley laid next to him extremely satisfied. Once TK caught a breather, he went into the bathroom and flushed the condom.
“Yo, who you be telling your business to?” TK asked as he washed his dick up.
Riley looked at him with a confused look on her face because she didn’t know what he was talking about.
“What you talking about, TK?” Riley asked.
“You told someone we were fucking?”
“Naaaaahhhh. Well, yeah, my friends, but… why? Chey going to be mad or something?”
Everybody knew that TK was fucking with crazy in the head ass Chey. The way she acted over him, she would make girls want to see what the dick was like, and that’s what she did. She was going to keep fucking with him as long as he would fuck her. If Chey ever wanted to square up, then they could because Riley wasn’t no weak bitch and could whoop some ass if she needed to.
Ignoring the statement about Chey, he said, “Who yo’ friends?”
“Jholee and Octavia. Well, JoJo is my friend and Octavia is JoJo’s friend, so me and Octavia just kind of hang out by default. I know she don’t like me, and if it was left up to her, she would make JoJo stop talking to me.”
“Why?”
TK was really fishing for as much information on Jholee as possible.
“She says I’m a bad influence on her, but I just want her to live a little, hell. Most importantly, get some dick. I put Major on her and she has yet to give him some damn pussy. I don’t know what she is waiting on. Maybe you got some thug ass friends that can bring the freak out of her.”
Major, TK thought to himself. It was only one Major and it was the Major that worked for him. Jholee was really naïve because TK knew how Major moved. Major was like TK, but he was out with his. Riley was the first girl that told people that they were fucking, which was another reason why he needed to leave her alone. He hated bitches who didn’t know how to keep their mouths shut. Major couldn’t have known that Jholee was out here trying to trick that virginity off, and it wasn’t his business to tell. It is what it is.
TK shook his head. “Well, look, stop telling people we fucking or I’m going to stop fucking with you. I don’t like everybody in my business ma.”
She nodded her head. After TK finished washing his dick up, he left her apartment and went home.
Chapter 6
It had been a week since Jholee got out of the hospital and all she had been doing was laying around in her room. She had been ignoring her friends and Major ever since her swollen eyes had gone down and she could see her phone. She had multiple text messages and missed calls from all three of them. Jax News wrote an article about her body being found and the police were looking for answers, so everyone knew her story. She was happy that her professors were very understanding and told Jholee that she didn’t have to worry about her assignments for the time being.
Knock! Knock!
Jholee didn’t say anything, so the door came open anyway.
“Baby girl,” Joe-Lee called his daughter by name as he hobbled down the stairs to sit at the foot of her bed.
He stared at his baby girl who was still very beautiful to him even though her face was still bruised very badly. The doctor said that it will probably take another week or so for all her bruises to clear up. He was still heated because Jholee hadn’t told him who had done this to her. It wasn’t like his baby girl to keep secrets from him. Jholee couldn’t hold water in a canteen with a lock on it, but suddenly she was so secretive.
“Hi, Dad,” Jholee whispered.
“How are you feeling? You ready to go for your follow-up appointment?” Joe-Lee asked.
“I suppose,” Jholee replied and threw the covers off her.
She had gotten dressed earlier, but she wanted to lay down again. Once she was out of bed, she slid into her shoes and grabbed her bag. Once the pair were in the car, the awkward silence filled the air. Joe-Lee kept cutting his eyes at his baby girl, but she kept looking ahead.
“You want to talk about Major?” Joe-Lee asked her.
Joe-Lee had been talking to the young man who had been trying to come and visit his daughter over the last week. Major told him that they were supposed to go to the movies the night of the attack. Joe-Lee wasn’t sure if he liked Major or not. It was something about him that rubbed Joe-Lee the wrong way, but he respected the fact that he was consistent with trying to see his daughter.
“He’s okay. Nothing serious,” Jholee replied.
“JoJo, you know your father will take care of whoever fucked with you, right? You know that, right?”
“Dad… you just got out of jail. I don’t want you going back.”
“But you were getting ready to tell me in the hospital. I remember—”
“Dad!” Jholee hissed.
Joe-Lee’s eyebrow raised because his daughter had never taken that tone with him. He decided that he wasn’t going to say anything else about it until his daughter was ready to talk to him, but he was hoping Conway would give him some type of information soon because he was keeping his ear to the streets.
In the hospital, Jholee checked in and took a seat in the waiting room while Joe-Lee asked to be escorted to the billing department. Ten minutes later, he was sitting inside of the small office across from the heavy-set white woman.
“Mr. Marshall, how can I help you?”
“I just want to let you know that I’m going to start making payments on my daughter’s doctor bill soon, so I would like for you to not send our bill to collections. We are kind of having hard times and with no insurance—”
“No worries. Your bill is completely cleared.”
Joe-Lee cocked his head to the side. “I’m sorry? I’m not one to question a cleared bill, but I have to know, how does that much money just clear?”
“Well, I promised I wouldn’t say anything, but a young man came in here a few days ago and paid the whole thing.”
Joe-Lee’s jaws began to clench because he didn’t know anybody that could just clear a bill like that, but his right-hand Conway, and he knew not to do no shit like that. He wasn’t taking any handouts from nobody, not even his best friend.
“What’s his name?”
“That I can’t say.”
“Why not?”
“I just can’t. Don’t question your blessing. Have a good day, Mr. Marshall.”
Joe-Lee sat there and stared at the woman until her phone started ringing.
“I have to take this,” she said.
Joe-Lee left her office with his tail between his legs and went back out to the waiting room with his daughter. Her whole appointment, he couldn’t help but think about who would come in and pay Jholee’s whole medical bill. While the doctor was talking to his daughter, his main focus was on her. He wasn’t listening to the doctor at all.
Was JoJo still his sweet JoJo? His pure JoJo? His loving and kind JoJo? Joe-Lee thought to himself.
On the way home from her appointment, Jholee noticed a huge shift in her dad’s mood. She knew that her dad wasn’t still mad about the way she talked to him earlier. It had to be something else.
“Dad.”
“JoJo.”
They both called each other’s name at the same time.
“You first, Jo.”
“I was just going to ask you what was wrong with you since you haven’t said a word since you left the billing department. Is everything okay? I’ll be going back to work soon, and I’ll be able to help out.”
“JoJo, you know you can tell me anything, right? Is there a reason why your bill is paid in full, when I, nor your godfather has paid the bill in full? You know I won’t get mad, right? Like, whatever you have done, I won’t care, but if whatever you did got you put in the hospital then, I want to know.”
“I-I-I don’t know, Dad,” Jholee lied to her father for the first time ever.
Jholee knew her father wasn’t stupid. She was one thousand percent sure that her father knew she was lying, but she was happy that he didn’t have a chance to say nothing else because Major was standing outside of their gate when she pulled up to their house. She was so happy and mad to see Major at the same time. As soon as the engine was switched off, Jholee hopped out the car and ran over to Major.
The moment Jholee made it to Major, he immediately gripped her by her shoulders, and held her back so he could get a good look at her face.
“Who did this to you, Jo? I can’t believe someone would want to hurt you. You don’t bother nobody. Please tell me that your father is taking care of this,” Major spoke.
“Yes. Yes, he is,” Jholee lied again.
Jholee couldn’t believe how the lie rolled off her tongue the second time around. She had never lied to anybody and here she had lied to two people within ten minutes.
