was pleased that she lucked up and gave Curtis the pussy because she knew she would struggle no more.
Chapter Nine
It didn’t take long before Alexandria had moved in with Curtis and he kept her and Timmy Jr. as fly as he was. Curtis felt that Alexandria and Timmy Jr. were his family.
Alexandria left her job at Denny’s. Her job was to take care of Curtis’ house, cook, and fuck him how he liked. Since she moved in with Curtis, her place was turned into a little jump off spot. Her friends would go there with niggas to fuck and get high. The place always smelled like weed and pussy. The niggas didn’t care, but when Alexandria rolled through with Liz and Sofia, all three of them vowed to never go back there because they walked in on some of their friends fucking, sucking dick, and getting high. She figured if she wanted to chill with her girls, Liz and Sofia could chill at the crib since they were her best friends. Of course, Curtis didn’t mind. He didn’t like Alexandria at her old place, anyway, because there was so much hot shit that went on there, he didn’t want her to get caught up in that shit.
Timmy hated picking up his son from Curtis’ house because he knew he was nothing but trouble. But, he appreciated him for moving Alexandria and his son out of the hood. He often prayed that living with Curtis wouldn’t land Alexandria in jail and prayed that his son wouldn’t be caught up in Curtis’ grimy lifestyle.
When Timmy picked up his son, he noticed he wore expensive clothes and shoes. Alexandria was the same way. She wore a tight, black dress that looked good against her butterscotch skin. She wore black leather, open toe, Louboutins that Curtis paid six hundred dollars for. She wore a blinding necklace with a diamond charm with Curtis in the middle. Timmy was steaming hot, but didn’t show it.
Bad enough she got this man raising my son and now she’s walking around with his name dangling from her neck like she’s his property, Timmy thought. Since he was back into preaching and didn’t want to be mixed up in an altercation, he quickly asked God to take his worries away. He then gathered his son and left.
Alexandria’s parents were still disappointed in her having a baby so young. They still kept in touch, and sometimes, her mother would send things home for the baby when she kept him. When Alexandria was struggling, she would be grateful for the things she received, but since being with Curtis, she tossed her mother’s things aside like a rag doll.
Her parents loved her and Timmy Jr., but Alexandria was still bitter about them kicking her out. Every time Erica spent time with Timmy Jr. she wished that Alexandria still lived at home so that she could have more time with her grandson, but she felt as though she couldn’t go back on wanting her out of their house.
It was late in the afternoon when Alexandria heard the doorbell ring. She was about to peel potatoes to go with the steak she would prepare for dinner. She was quite the domestic chick. She walked through the kitchen, passing the dining room and the living room to answer the door. When she peeked out of the peephole, she gladly opened the door.
“Ma, what are you doing here?”
She was surprised to see her mother at the door being that Erica was against her living with Curtis because he was a drug dealer. So, Erica never stepped a foot in his house. Every time she talked to her mother, she would ask what she was going to do for her and her son.
“Hey, baby. How are you and my grandson?”
“Come on in.” She stepped aside and Erica walked in. “We’re good. Timmy picked up TJ this morning. He’s having some church event for kids, so he has him for an extended weekend. That gives me two extra days to relax, but I’m sure I’ll miss him by Monday.”
“I bet you will. I’m proud of how good of a mother you are to him.”
“Thank you.”
