behind the sofa as Jacko kneeled next to Kia on the floor and kissed her nose.
When she didn’t move, he stuck his finger up her nose. She stirred and slapped his hand away. He was laughing when she opened her eyes. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Jack? Why you playing?”
She whined for a minute until she looked up and saw Demoto. She looked from him to Jacko. “Why you ain’t tell me this nigga was coming over here?” She sat up on the couch and rubbed her eyes. “Hey, Moto.”
“What’s up, Kia?”
“Nothing. Just trying to get some sleep, but your friend right here wants to play.”
Demoto gave her a weak smile.
“Bae, I need to roll with Demoto somewhere for a few days. You think you can handle shit here?”
Kia looked at him and nodded. She was used to them having to go out of town for business. “Where y’all going?”
Jacko looked down for a minute before looking over at Demoto.
Kia noticed his actions and looked at Demoto too. When he held his head down her face frowned in confusion. “Why y’all niggas holding y’all heads instead of telling me where y’all going?”
Demoto looked up and bit his bottom lip. He took a deep breath. “We have to go to Cameroon to ge—” His voice broke, so he cleared his throat before continuing to talk. “We have to go to Cameroon to get Taryn and Ayo.”
Kia really looked confused then. She sat with her face frowned for a minute, seriously trying to see why Taryn and Ayo would be in Cameroon without Demoto. “Why are they there? When did they go because I just talked to her last night?”
She was looking at Demoto for answers, but he wasn’t giving her anything. In fact, he looked terrible. The more Kia looked at him, the more she realized that something wasn’t right. His eyes were red and had large bags beneath them. He looked exhausted and his eyes held a sad expression. Kia’s hand went to her mouth and her eyes widened.
“Did something happen to them?”
Demoto held his head down and Jacko took over for him. “Moto’s mom is mad at him about some shit right now, so she’s acting out. We think she took them. We’re going to get them back. It should only take a few days.”
Kia shook her head as her eyes began to water. Demoto stood there for as long as he could before leaving to sit in his car. He couldn’t take that right then. Jacko stayed and kissed Kia’s stomach then her mouth. He stood to his feet, pulling her with him. He hugged her as tight as he could and kissed the side of her face.
“You think you can be good until daddy gets back?” Jacko spoke into her ear.
Kia nodded her head as she held onto him.
“You better. I don’t want to have to come back and beat your lil ass.”
“You just better come back.”
Jacko stepped back and kissed her nose. “I’ll always be back, shawty. I know you can’t go long without discipline.”
He put her hand on his dick and she blushed. Even after he released her hand, she held it.
“I know you’re scared, Kia, but I’ll be back, baby. I’m going because Moto needs me, and I know if it was me in his situation, he would be right with me. He’s almost out of it, Kia. He needs me to think for him. This shit has his mind clouded, and if I don’t go he might get himself killed. He’s not focused.”
“I understand. I love you.”
“I love you too, baby mama. Keep this pregnant pussy tight ’til I get back.” He winked at her and released her from his grasp.
“Be safe, Jack, and look out for Moto.”
“I got you, baby. Come lock the door.”
He slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out of the house. Kia watched his pigeon-toed walk until he got into the car. Demoto threw his hand up at her and Jacko blew her a kiss before pulling away.
They drove to Double O to gather whatever Buck had for them, along with their traveling information from their assistant. After they’d gotten everything, it was time to dip. Being that this was an important matter, they
