Capri (Season Three: Delgato Family: Capri)

by Jahquel J.

“Felt like hell not being able to do that for the past year.” He paused and looked at the driver. “My man, put those suitcases in my whip, she ain’t riding with yo’ weird looking ass.”

Capp!! lol

“Big Pri back home!” He did a celebratory beep of his horn and scared an elderly woman trying to merge into the next lane. “Her ass shouldn’t have been driving any fucking way.” He grilled her while she stuck her middle finger at him.

I love me some Capp!

This whole journey she had went on alone would mean nothing if I didn’t come to her like a real man. Showing her my intentions and how I wanted to love her until I had nothing left to give. Suga deserved someone to put her first for once. A man that was going to come behind her with pure love and devotion. We both had been hurt, our hearts broken, and together I felt like we could heal each other.

My father reached up and squeezed my shoulders. “Cap, when I told you that Capri wasn’t ready for what came with me in Miami, I meant that. She wasn’t ready. She had a lot of pain and hurt she had to sort through, and she needed to find her happiness. Happiness without depending on a man. I wanted her to find happiness and who she is without feeling the pressure of entering another relationship. I created a safe space for us to become friends. I wanted her friendship more than anything.”

Now this is a man

“Nah… I’m talking about if we get to that place. I watch the both of you with your wives… nobody can tell you shit when it comes to Erin, and nobody damn sure can’t tell you shit when it comes to Alaia. Your relationships and marriages are off limits. Not up for discussion, which I respect. Shit, you both don’t even intervene with each other’s marriages.” I paused. “I’m telling you not to do it with mine. Capri is grown… allow her to have her shit. Be there as her brothers… she doesn’t need more fathers, she got one already. I’m stepping forward and taking responsibility for her… that’s mine. I got her, and you know when I give my word, that I take that shit seriously. I’ve told you since day one when you asked me to hold her down, that I had her…I’ve stood on my word and came through on that shit.”

“This nigga,” Capone snorted. Quasim took the cup my pops had and poured him more liquor into the glass. “So, both you niggas know you just gave this lunatic permission to crash out behind Capri, right?”
