Eric, do not tell Denise what just happened, you know your wife is always trying to cut somebody.” I said with a smile.
Meanwhile, the property manager is still standing in the walkway being rude. Finally I turn to her and said “look you are the main reason why so many people are or have moved out of here. You are lazy, you don’t do your job on any level and you are annoying as hell. You and I have never had any issues except when it came time for something to be repaired. For the record, your boss does know what you have been doing because I personally sent him a video recording of you while several people were trying to get you to fix issues in their apartment. So while you are trying to be a bitch to everyone, you might want to think about what is going to happen to you next week when your boss gets here”.
She looks at me with a frown and says “bu-u-ut how? “Umm whatever” and storms off.
“Jonathan” Lora says in a loud voice. “We are all loaded up and ready to go. Are you going to have junior ride with you or me” she asked?
She then continued by saying, “I have the other kids strapped in and ready as well.” I looked over at the car and saw that there was some room.
“He is going to have to ride with you” I yelled out to her. “There is not going to be enough room in either truck.”
As we load up the final items, Eric turns to me and says “I am really going to miss this place, minus that lazy bitch of a manager.”
Chuckling I asked, “Why”?
Eric looks at me with a warming smile and says “because this is where we all became a family.”
We took one last look and began to walk towards the truck.
“Hold on” Eric said.” I have one last thing to do.”
He runs back to the apartment and kicked in the door. I turn around and run back to the apartment. “Dude what the hell are you doing” I ask?
“I have one last parting gift to leave”, he says.
Then he punched the wall and leaves a whole the size of a catchers glove. After that he walks over to the bathroom and plugs the sinks and turns the water on while laughing hysterically.
“Now let us see who has the upper hand” he said as he walks out the front door.
“Eric”, I began to yell. “Dude you have some serious issues”, I state while laughing as we walk towards the trucks again. “Can we just get in the truck and go now,” I ask? As we drive away I sit and began to think to myself. “Here we go. I truly hope that the new neighborhood is ready for us. This is going to be one wild ride for the whole block.


Settling In
“What you doing down there black man” yells Denise? “Are you down there making trouble again?”
I looked up at her with a very weird look on my face.” What did I tell you lady about calling me black man,” I said? “Didn’t I tell you that I am black and Native American (in a laughing manner)?”
Eric comes strolling out of their apartment. “Wow”, he said...”That’s hard to believe seeing that you are as black as they come”, with a silly grin on his face. “Besides, you still have black in your blood.”
I looked up at him and Denise while laughing and said, “yah well this would have never happened to me if I was black”.
Lora comes to the front door and says, “hey hunny, can you come get the kids I have to take a shower for work and they are bouncing all over the house”.
Eric yells out,” is it time for your curfew already, it’s only eleven in the morning?”
Denise comes down and walks into my apartment, “what are you down here doing now black man”?
Lora called out, “Hi Denise”!
“Hey Lora, whatcha up too today”?
“Not much, just getting ready for work.”
“Are you working late tonight baby”, I ask?
Lora walks out into the living room area with a small frown on her face and says” I think so” she began saying. “I am only scheduled until ten but who knows at that place. So what are you guys upstairs going to do today she finished?”
Before Denise could reply, I said, “Well, the kids and I are going to get this stuff organized and put away so that we can relax for the most part.”
Denise then says,” well to be honest, I have no idea what we are going to do. Eric ask me this morning if I wanted to go out to eat or just sit around and relax. I still have not decided what to do. Danielle is supposed to be going out for a while today so we will have the house to ourselves if we stay. It’s a hard choice in my book.”
Tick Tick!
“What in the world is that noise” asked Lora? “Where is it coming from”?
“I have no idea but it sounds like someone is tapping on something,” I said. “Junior”, I cried out in a loud voice, “what are you all in there doing?”
“Nothing”, he yells back, “that is coming from outside.”
I open the front door to find Anthony outside taping on his living room window. “Dude what are you doing, with a laughing voice”?
“This stupid ass female has locked me out of my own house”, he said.
I give him a puzzled look and replied, “who locked you out” with a bit of concern.
“My girl”! “She is on some crazy crap right now and is tripping.”
Denise rushes to the door. “Are you ok new neighbor, in a cheerful voice”?
“No, just having a little dispute with my girl.”
Suddenly his front door swings open with a loud banging noise. “Don’t be out here telling my business to people” yells Krystal. People don’t need to know my business.
Anthony turns to me and says “this is going to be a long day”.
“Are you coming in the house or not Anthony”, Krystal yells?
“Man let me go deal with this mess, are you going to be home”?
“Yah I will be here all day”, I replied.
Two hours later, I hear a loud commotion coming from outside.
“This is all your fault Anthony. Every single time I say that I am going out, you have to get all loud and start throwing things around the house”, Krystal yells. “This is why we always fight and have these problems.”
“What? How you gone try and put this all on me”, says Anthony. “You are the one that always has some sort of excuse when I ask you to stay home and spend time with me and the kids. I work all day and come home hoping to spend time with my family, and as soon as I walk in you are trying to run out the door. I mean come on Krystal, what is really going on”?
“What are you trying to say”, she asks?
“You want me to be upfront, asked Anthony? Ok then, are you cheating on me or something”?
Krystal paused for a short moment the replied “FUCK YOU”. “How dare you ask me something like that? I have done nothing except tried to have some me time after being home all day and stuck in the house. So what if I do not feel like spending time with you when you get home, maybe I just don’t want to be bothered”.
At that point, Anthony began to get really loud and repeating himself. “How else can you explain it then (repeating three times)? That is a load of crap and you know it. Me time, yah right; if that were the case why do you have to get all dressed up don’t come home till late hours of the night. I’m not stupid, but I will tell you this, if I find out that you are cheating on me, there is going to be hell to pay”.
“Just leave”, she said with a teary voice. “I can’t do this anymore. Everyday it’s the same thing over and over. We can’t seem to have a calm talk without arguing and fighting about what I want to do. You say you love me but how is this loving someone”?
“What do you mean how is this loving someone, he replied? I give everything to you. No matter if its financial or emotional; I give and I give, just to please you. What can you say in return? Nothing, just like always. I should be the one who is calling it quits not you. I mean come on Krystal, what grounds do you really have”?
By this time all the neighbors in the complex are outside trying to figure out what is going on.
Eric comes over to me and asks “so what’s going on now? We have been here two days and have been totally entertained each day. There never seems to be a dull moment here on Samano.”
I just laughed and replied “yup that’s true”. As we stood in my doorway and watched the drama unfold, my phone rang. Hello!
“Hey what’s up Jonathan”?
“Not much who is this”?
“This is Danielle”!
“Girl, why are you calling me from upstairs” I asked?
“I just didn’t feel like coming down there, besides I can hear everything from my room. They are right under my bedroom and I think
