Rome rolled over in bed, expecting to wrap his arms around
Amiya's waist and pull her close to him. Instead, he felt her
cold pillow. Slowly, he woke up and looked around the bedroom.
Rome. Baby?
He heard shuffling from the kitchen and pushed the covers back.
He checked his phone and paused at a text from Kareem's
grandmother, Trish.
Trish.:. Call me ASAP.
Without another thought, Rome called Trish and slipped his
pajama pants over his naked body while the phone rang. It felt
like forever before she picked up with a huff.
Trish. Hey, Jerome.
Rome. Hey, I got your text. Is Kareem okay?
Trish. He's fine, I'm sorry I worried you...his mama isn't,
though.
Rome looked confused.
Rome. What you mean?
Trish. Jerome...a whole lot has happened since you left.
Rome. I'm sorry I haven't been around for Kareem, I just been so
focused trying to get this restaurant and whatnot.
Trish. It's fine, you know I understand and support it.
Rome. What's going on with her, though?
Trish. She fell in with some boy, started dropping Kareem off
with me more and more. I was going through his bag about 6
months ago and...Jerome, I found cocaine in it.
Rome immediately felt his ears get hot.
Rome. You fuckin' serious?
Trish. Very. I confronted her about it, we argued. I told her I
wasn't gon' let her take my grandson around that nonsense so she
needed to get herself cleaned up...that was the last I heard
from her.
Rome. Wait, wait...you ain't heard from her in 6 months?
Trish. Yes.
Rome. Why you just now calling me, Miss Trish? I could have been
sending money or something to help out.
Trish. I didn't want to worry you.
Rome. That's my son, I'm gonna worry regardless. You said he was
good anytime I called.
Trish. He is, baby...I'm calling now because money is getting
tight on me.
Rome sighed. He'd wanted to get Kareem down to Aventura for a
while, but with the food truck, his new situation with Cash, and
his shaky relationship with Amiya, he couldn't find the right
time to set up a trip.
Rome. Look, I'm gonna CashApp you some money. Stay by your
phone, I'm gon' figure something out.
Trish. Don't stress yourself, sweetie, if I knew you were going
to freak out, I would have never reached out.
Rome. No, you're fine. You did the right thing. Just stay by the
phone, and if she comes back, don't let her around my son. I'll
call you soon.
Rome hung up and rubbed his head roughly. The door popped open
and he looked up to see Amiya poking her head in.
Amiya. You okay? I heard you from the kitchen.
Rome. I had to call Trish. That bitch somewhere doing cocaine.
Amiya. What?
Rome. Money getting tight for them, I'm gon' send her some
money...but, I'm thinking about moving them down here so I can
be closer to him.
Rome reached out, holding her hands.
Rome. I can get them a little apartment nearby, and of course I
would be helping on bills for them.
A thought rushed Rome's mind and he squinted his eyes, shaking
his head.
Rome. I got something else to tell you, too. A few weeks back, I
started working for this guy that Jeremy knows. A dude named
Cassius...that's where all the extra money has been coming from.
I'm not touching no drugs or women...but, I'm using the truck
and eventually the restaurant to wash money for him. -sigh- I'm
sorry I didn't tell you before now, I just didn't know how to
without worrying you.[/center]

Amiya. Oh..
Amiya paused as she thought about everything that had just come
out of his mouth. She could tell by the look on his face that he
was caught between a rock and a hard place, and she didn't know
which one she was. As she ran back through what he'd said
mentally, she frowned slightly.
Amiya. Wait. What?
She watched as he sighed then he began to repeat himself.
Rome. I said I'm cleanin money.....
She cut him off and and shook her head.
Amiya. Na.. I heard that... Who's moving down here?... Kareem
and...?
Rome. And Trish... I'll have to help them with bills and shit..
But they coming down here.
Amiya nodded. Her original thought didn't make any sense, so she
had to clarify.
Amiya. Oh.. Okay... I uhh.. I made breakfast... You hungry?
Rome looked at her slightly confused as she backed up toward the
door..
Amiya. I made your pancakes and sausage like you like...
She smirked slightly as he stood up and reached out grabbing her
by her hand again.
Rome. Stop.. That's it? You aint got nothing to say?
Amiya stopped and thought about her next words to him. In
retrospect, he'd been holding this extra business from her for
longer than a few weeks. She bit the side of her lip then she
sighed slightly rolling her eyes a bit.
Amiya. What you want me to say?
He looked at her slightly confused.
Rome. Say somethin... Ion wanna hear about this shit later and
it be some fuckin argument for no reason...
They stared at each other for a moment. She knew he was
expecting a much larger reaction to his news, but she didn't
have it in her to give. She had already woken up in a great
mood, and she didn't want to kill it over an argument that she
viewed as a lose lose situation. Since her Aunt Nene died, all
she wanted was peace. She knew one way or another Kareem would
eventually get to Aventura, and she knew the food truck didn't
pick up as much business as it did basically overnight.
Amiya. Look... I knew you was gon send for Kareem eventually. I
just didn't know when.. And I'm not nor would I ever trip about
makin adjustments for him... If that's on your mind go ahead and
kill it.. I'm comin behind Jo and Kareem the same way. Period.
She paused for a moment then she sighed thinking about his extra
hustle on the side.
Amiya. And as far as the food truck? -shakes head- Jerome....
Your food is bomb as fuck but I knew the route change wasn't
pulling in that much extra cash... It just happened too easy...
Hell. Aint nothing ever been easy our whole relationship... Plus
I know you....
In her mind, somethings they just couldn't escape from, his
confessions of his illicit activities served as her realization.
"Bein clean was fun while it lasted.." Rome frowned slightly at
her.
Rome. If you so cool about it, why you lookin like that?
Amiya. Rome.. I aint say I was cool with it.. I actually was
hoping we left all that shit in Carver City... But -shrug- I
guess not. Old habits die hard, and I get it.... I don't know
what else to say though..
He sighed hard and she touched the side of his face.
Amiya. Look.. I love you... And I trust you.. I trust you to
watch your step. And to walk through that door every night
because we gon be waiting for you.. The three of us..
He stared at her for a moment, and she watched as he licked his
lips placing his hands on her waist.
Amiya. C'mon.. The foods getting cold...
Rome. Where Jo?
Amiya. Still sleep..
Rome. Oh.. We got some time... I wanna show you something..
Amiya. The food...
Rome. Is gon be there... We got a microwave..
He leaned down and kissed her pulling her body into his. She
wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed herself to fall
with him as he took a dive on the bed. His hands slipped under
her robe, and they had another replay of last night... She was
no stranger to situations she couldn't control, and she was no
stranger to surprises, but she was learning to accept what she
couldn't change. Ever since she'd met him, he knew how to make
money, make moves, and get under her skin in more ways that one,
and to this day, he still had all three down without missing a
beat.
