Hate That I Want You

Chapter 2: Part 3

“Yo nerd ass still in here studying?” I asked as I walked into Kane’s home office.

Our two-story house has five rooms. A bedroom, and an office for each of us and one guest bedroom. The garage fit three cars but only my Navigator and his Charger were in there. There’s a pool and a jacuzzi in the back, we throw a lot of parties in the summer.

“I got a test on Monday man.” He responded sitting up.

“Didn’t the semester just start? It can’t be that much s**t on the test.”

Kane chuckled, “This is my senior year, I’m tryna get in there and do this s**t and get out. Then get my master’s and who knows what I’ll do after that.”

I shook my head, “Get dressed nigga, Bobby and em coming too.”

“This is about to be one hell of a night. Is Demon coming?”

“I doubt it, wifey don’t be caring for him to be around young bitches.” I laughed.

“Who the f**k want that ugly nigga?”

“Them young thangs love a nigga with scars.”

“s**t, all these years of keeping my skin looking good wasted.” Kane joked.

“Like you ever had issues getting females.” I laughed on my way to my room.

As soon as I got in my room, I opened my wall safe and added some more money in it. I was stacking for a rainy day; did I see a reason why my money would be gone? No, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t stack my s**t.

It didn’t take much for me to get Kane to let me get the master bedroom. I was paying for everything while he went to school, plus giving him dough to do whatever he needed to do.

When Kane first started in school, he did have a job but that was the worst semester he ever had. So, we compromised. He would focus on getting that law degree and I would take care of the rest. I felt like one of us had to be completely legit and it had to be him. Unlike me, Kane has never gotten in trouble and that’s all I did.

I was fourteen the first time I went to juvie, and it was for fighting. I smashed a dude’s face into a Smith’s window for talking out the side of his neck. Our pops beat the s**t out of me and threaten to kick me out if I didn’t pull my s**t together. Was I scared? Hell naw! The only reason why I chilled my s**t was because I hated seeing my moms crying. I kept my head down as much as I could after that. Back then I was selling weed with some punk named Danny, but I got more serious about school.

I turned on the hot water and went to the closet to figure out what to wear. It’s September but it was still warm as hell at night, plus being in a club with hella people meant it was going to be hot. I pulled out a dark blue short sleeve button-up, and some black jeans. I decided to not wear a shirt under and pulled out my favorite rope chain.

I jumped in the shower eager to get the smell of the day off my skin. I got out and got ready to go, I slid on my dark blue Air Jordan’s and was done.

I stepped into the hallway as Kane walked out of his room.

“Nigga.” He laughed, “Again?”

He was wearing the same outfit but in red with a black tank top.

“I’m not changing.” I laughed.

“f**k it, then.”

We laughed and walked downstairs. Kane threw us something together to eat as the guys got to the house.

“I know y’all ain’t matching again.” Bobby said, as he sat at the bar.

“He wanna be his big brother so bad.” I laughed.

“Nobody’s thinking about yo black ass.” Kane said.

“Demon said he’ll meet us there.” Blackjack laughed. “He gotta wait until Kelly goes to sleep.”

“Hell naw, he won’t get my ass beat.” Deno laughed.

“We’re just gonna have to stand as an united front.” Kane laughed.

“So, he can switch sides on us?”

“Demon is not going to let us stand up to his little ass wife.” Bobby said, “We’re better off acting stupid.”

“I second that.” I said as I got up to make a plate of pasta.

We all ate before heading out, Kane volunteered to be the designated driver. He was planning to get up and study with some chicks in his philosophy class.

It took us about twenty minutes to pull up to the club, we got there at eleven. There were mostly niggas in line, all the females rushed to get there before they had to pay. We could hear the music as we stood in line for a max of ten minutes.

This little club was actually a restaurant and bar during the day. On the right side there’s an opening to where people would dine, but now it was a dance floor. This was the area for those under the age of twenty-one, the other side was the bar. This was for the twenty-one plus and had few places to sit.

The first order of business was to get something to sip on. Kane and I got a jack and coke, I didn’t pay attention to everybody else. All I knew was the first round was on me. We leaned against a wall and checked out the situation. After all the years of coming to these little parties, it was easy for me to pick out the different fraternities and sororities. Not that I really gave a f**k about who was who.

“Hey, Kane!” A short girl said walking up to me.

She was a pretty dark skin girl, a little on the thick side with a short bob and was wearing a short white dress. She had walked over with three other chicks with her. One looked Mexican or something, with long ass hair, she was wearing a one-piece or whatever girls called that s**t. The third one was in a plaid shirt and had a fat ass afro on her head.

Now the last one, her ass was the baddest. I had to contain myself when I looked at her. I felt Blackjack elbowing me in my side. She was a little shorter if not the same height as Demon, she was a milk chocolate color, with clear ass skin and a baby face. Her crop top showed off her tone stomach and she had on a belly chain. One of her thick ass thighs were exposed and I wanted nothing more than to be between them thick muthafuckas.

“You must be looking for this nigga.” I laughed pointing to Kane. “I’m his twin brother, Zane.”

“What’s up, Maddy.” Kane laughed. “Yeah, this my bald-headed ass twin, Kane.”

“Oh, our bad.” The Mexican one giggled. “It’s dark in here and we only saw that you looked like him.”

“It’s cool,” I said, “We’re identical, it happens a lot.”

“Anyways, this is Maddison, Camilla, Zoey, and Amber. Maddison and Amber are a part of my study group.” Kane said, pointing to the girls, then he pointed to the guys. “This is Deno, Blackjack, and Bobby, Samuel should be here soon.”

I nodded; Demon’s nickname was something we kept under wraps around new people.

I made direct eye contact with Amber, the light flashed for a second and I noticed her eyes were hazel. She smiled but looked away and towards the door like she was waiting for somebody to walk in. I assumed she was waiting on a dude.

“Well, we’ll see you tomorrow.” Maddison said to Kane. “Still at your house, right?”

“Yep, ten still good?”

“How about one instead?” Amber said, “I left my car at home, and I’ll be at Camilla and Zoey’s tonight.”

“I got somewhere to be then.”

“How about you just spend the night at my house?” Maddison offered, “That way we can go straight to his house, and I can take you home after.”

“Sounds good to me.” Amber said before looking at the door. “f**k! I knew he was going to come!”
