Daughter of a Hood Legend

by Latoya Nicole

  She doesn’t want anyone to know her identity. Shorty been successful this long by keeping who Roulette is a mystery. That’s her shit and have nothing to do with us. That clause is in her terms, so we won’t break it. We don’t ever speak on who Roulette is or that it’s a woman. I’m confident in her ability to handle our product and it’s a smart move. Are we good?” My mother thought it over and then spoke up.

  “That’s a lot for a person we have no idea who she is or what she is capable of. Why do she want this to remain a secret so badly?”

  “If I’m correct on my assumptions, she wants this to be kept a secret because she is the daughter of Vicious Barnes. The hood legend Vicious Barnes. I didn’t ask her why and we don’t care why, but we are going to honor it. So again, we good?” My mother nodded and Shitz started laughing.

  “You fucked her didn’t you?” This nigga did the most. My mother looked interested in what I was gone say, so I answered.

  “No, I didn’t fuck her. Shut you dumb ass up.” The gate rang and I knew it was her. Buzzing her in, I sat behind my desk to hide my hard dick. I know once she came in the room, my shit was gone brick up. Walking in the office, she had her real hair showing today. It was in some style cut to her shoulders and I swear my dick hit the desk. Shorty was sexy as fuck, but I was amused that she came to the meeting in Jeans and gym shoes. Her tank was tucked inside and you could see her guns in her waist. That shit turned me all the way the fuck on. Seeing she was by herself, I needed her.

  “Can yall leave me and Roulette alone please. If she came alone, I don’t want to look like we are out numbering her. This is not an intimidation tactic, we’re joining forces it’s no need for all of this.” Shitz started laughing as they walked out and my mama slapped him in the head. I was shocked she didn’t protest. Her ass have to be involved in everything.

  “You don’t intimidate me Capone. Let’s get that clear. Nobody had to leave the room, if bullshit jumped off, I’m fully trained to take all yall ass out. I’ve taken out more.” Smiling, I thought that tough shit was sexy.

  “I know, I’ve heard the stories. We know you aren’t scared, I just wanted you alone to myself. What happened to your friend?”

  “The bitch bailed on me. It’s all good. Now tell me, how did you get my number with yo stalking ass?” Laughing again, I found it refreshing that she kept a smile on my face. That shit didn’t happen often.

  “Your friend gave it to me the night at the club when she went to get the keys. I didn’t want to look like I was sweating you, so I never used it.”

  “That bitch bailed today on purpose. She trying to hook us up, imma fuck that bitch up.” If that’s what she was doing, I was team Breezy.

  “Must be meant to be then huh?”

  “You sure you don’t wanna throw some more money?” We both laughed and I had to admit that was some boss shit. I knew that got her attention.

  “Look, I’m not with all the games and back and forth shit. I want you and you want me what’s up?” She actually looked amused.

  “You a cocky nigga huh? I don’t want you, I want your dope. If you can’t give me that, then I’m out.” Thinking on my feet, I tried a different approach.

  “I got some product on the premises; would you like to check it out and see if this what you want to do? If everything looks good, I can let them go for fourteen a brick as long as you buying at least fifty in one shipment.” You could see her doing the numbers in her head.

  “If the product is good, that’s a deal. Take me to it.” Leading the way, a smile spread across my face. Walking her through the compound, I took her to my wing. When I got inside my bedroom, I waited for her to walk in and I snatched her ass up. The astonished look on her face had me feeling like I won this round. Using my feet, I kicked the door shut.

  “We don’t have to fuck if you don’t want to, but I want to spend some time to get to know you without us talking about business. You good shorty, I promise.” It looked like she was gone bolt if I put her down, so I held on to her.

  “This is some desperate shit. Nigga you around here tricking bitches into giving you pussy? Let me down, I ain’t with all this.” I knew she was gone try to throw some attitude my way, but dick always shut a bitch up in my experience. Happy she didn’t have on a wig, I snatched her by her hair and slid my tongue in her mouth.

  “Why you keep fighting it shorty? You feel that pushed up against you?” Her ass just nodded. “You do that every time I see or think about your ass. You want a nigga with blue balls?” When she didn’t respond, I sucked on her neck. Her soft moans had me ready to fuck a hole in the wall.

  “I can’t.” She moaned it out and I had no idea why she kept fighting that shit.

  “You can shorty. You gone take this dick for me?” Pulling my shit out, I pressed it against her pussy. She had on jeans, but I know she felt that shit.”

  “I’m a virgin.” My dick got so hard I almost came, but I knew I couldn’t do her like that. Carrying her to my bed, I laid her in it. Climbing in beside her, I grabbed the remote.

  “Say less shorty.” Flipping through the channels, I pulled her big head ass to me and let her lay on my chest. I swear that shit made me want her more. I’ve never had a virgin even when I lost my virginity. The girl I fucked for the first time was six years older than me and I was fourteen. Seeing Rush Hour 3 was on, I laid the remote down and got ready to laugh my ass off.

  “Vicious is my father. Nobody knows that, but my crew and you.” Now was probably the time I should tell her my crew knew as well, but I didn’t want her to feel like a betrayed her trust.

  “Why do you hide that shit? Do you know how much respect you would get off his name alone? Nobody would ever fuck with you.”

  “They don’t fuck with me now.” She said that shit so matter of fact, I believed her. “He doesn’t know, if he found out he would kill me.” Sitting up, I tried to look at her to see if she was serious.

  “How the fuck do you hide that shit from him? Being the top dog ain’t easy. He has to know something.”

  “During the day, he thinks I’m at school. When I come home, my crew takes care of everything else. Unless he thinks I’m at Breezy’s house. The shit stressful as fuck, but I have to. He tried to protect me from the streets my entire life, his ass gone fuck me up when he finds out.” I was about to laugh, until I saw she didn’t. His ass was really going to spaz out.

  “Maybe you should walk away, shit ain’t worth it.”

  “Shit runs through my veins. That’s all I wanna do. I’m my daddy’s child he just don’t know it.” The stories I heard about him and the ones I heard about her, one would definitely know she was his child. I’m surprised nobody ever connected the dots. They are one in the same. Wanting to make light of the conversation, I tried to steer it away from her daddy.

  “Why are you still a virgin? How old are you?”

  “I’m twenty two and my daddy said he’ll kick my pussy in my ass. He wants me to finish school and he thinks I’ll date a street nigga. Never ran across nobody that I wanted to give it away too and I don’t chase niggas, I chase money.” We both laughed and I wondered what the fuck kind of hold her daddy had on her that he could keep her pussy on lock. Shit had to be deeper, but I didn’t want to ask too much too fast.

  “Daddy gone be mad, because I’m gone get that pussy when the time comes. Know that.”

  “Shut up.” I wanted to lick on her pussy, but I decided to leave her be. We will have our time, and when I do I pray Jesus be a nut holder. I ain’t never had no virgin pussy.

  VICIOUS

  “Baby calm down. You don’t know where she is or what she is doing, but let’s be clear, that girl is grown. You have to learn to give her a lil rope or she is going to resent you for it.” Looking over at Lisa, I wanted to slap her ass and tell her bitch mind your business.

  “Do you have any kids?” When she looked stuck, I knew she got my drift. “Oh, okay.” I continued to pace the flo
or trying to figure out where the fuck she could be. Usually if she was over Fat Back’s house, she would let me know she was going and that nigga wasn’t answering his phone. The cars were still in the garage, so that shit had me baffled. “Fuck it, we going over to my nigga’s house to see what’s up.

  “Oh, I can go? I thought maybe since I didn’t have any kids, you would leave me here to mind my business.”

  “In one minute, that’s what the fuck you are about to be doing. Either get the fuck in the car or shut the fuck up and wait until I get back. I get you don’t understand my rules, but she does.” Stomping, she shut the fuck up and followed me down the stairs. Jumping in my Maserati Levonte truck, I needed something with some speed. Lisa damn near had to hold onto her wig I was driving so fast. This was my baby girl, and I didn’t trust a soul with her except Fat Back.

  Pulling up to his crib, I typed his code in and pulled up the driveway. I know I shouldn’t have done that with Lisa in the car, but that was my bitch and eventually she would know all that shit. I just hoped my nigga saw the shit the same way I did. It was okay for me to do that shit at my house, but I couldn’t make that call at his. Jumping out, I didn’t even care if Lisa was behind me. Using my key, I let myself in. Running up the stairs, I could hear her heels against the floor, so I knew she had come in as well.

  “Hey nigga.” When I walked in Fat Back’s room, he was in the middle of fucking a bitch. He looked at me like I lost my mind. “Get dressed and meet me downstairs.” Walking out, I made my way to Boo’s room. Her shit was empty just like Kalina’s. These mother fuckers have lost their minds and I was gone have to fuck they ass up. They needed to know this shit wasn’t a game and I wasn’t about to let they ass start playing. Heading downstairs, I sat down next to Lisa and waited on Fat Back. He finally brought his big ass downstairs and I was ready to beat his ass. I know he got his nut first.

  “Where the fuck is Boo and Kalina?” I was asking him a question, but he was stuck looking at Lisa.

  “Hey Vicious, you done lost your mother fucking mind my nigga.” Hearing him say my street name snapped me out of my rant. Jumping up, I pulled him to his office leaving Lisa there looking stupid. Once we were inside with the door closed, I went off.

  “Nigga have you lost your mind calling me by my street name? Nobody, and I mean nobody that does not already know who I am is to ever hear that name.” He had the nerve to look appalled.

  “Vicious, excuse me David. Have you lost yours? You brought this bitch in my house, which means you put in my code and everything else. I don’t trust no bitch that tip toes her pussy to a nigga. She grown as hell and sneaking through tunnels to give up the pussy.” I almost laughed, but I had more pressing shit at hand.

  “Kalina knows about her, she don’t sneak no more. Fuck all that, where these lil hot ass girls at?” Fat Back looked lost and I knew his ass didn’t know shit.

  “I never know where Boo is unless she at your shit. That girl don’t listen to me. It’s like she is rebelling because she blames me for kicking her hoe ass mama out.”

  “Nigga you did and I’m fucking they ass up. Just so you know. I don’t want to hear no shit about they ass being grown. Two kicks straight to the back and a neck swipe.” We both laughed, but I was dead ass serious.

  “Whatever nigga. Now can I get back to my pussy? Take your ass home and get Nelson Mandela up out my shit.”

  “You know damn well you can’t go two rounds, and Nelson didn’t lead the slaves through the underground railroad dumb ass nigga.”

  “That’s why I sold drugs bitch and you knew what I meant. Now get your smart pressed ass up out of my shit.” Laughing, I walked out the door.

  “Fuck your house, you owe on this bitch anyway.” Walking to the front, I got Lisa and headed home. Kalina had a lot of explaining to do before I fucked her up. Boo not my child, but she just like it. So, if her ass walk through my door, I’m beating her ass too. Lisa was quiet, but I didn’t give a fuck. I didn’t want her to know shit about my past. That’s a preference. Parking the car, we got out and walked inside. She started as soon as the door closed.

  “You don’t think I deserved to know I was fucking with a stone cold killer? How could you keep something like that from me? I thought we were a team?”

  “We are the same thing now, that we were two hours ago. My past is just that and I choose not to talk about it. If you want to walk away for a life I lived over twenty years ago, that’s on you. I’m still going to be me. You got David, not Vicious and that’s all that matters. If you keep pushing me about some shit that ain’t got nothing to do with you, then you’re going to meet him quicker than you think.”

  “You don’t have to say all that. I’m just saying, you know everything about me. It’s only fair that I know everything about you. I was going to wait to tell you, but I’m pregnant and I’m not bringing a child into this world with someone I don’t know.” I damn near lost my footing. Hell, I was forty eight years old and my daughter was twenty two. Fuck was I going to do with a child. It felt funny, but at the same time shit made me melt a lil bit. Grabbing her, I pulled her on my lap.

  “Look baby, I’m sorry if it seems like I was keeping shit from you. I’m just trying to keep Kalina away from that life. I’m not Vicious anymore, I’m David. Now, what the hell my old ass about to do with a baby?” We both laughed, but I was nervous as fuck. I know baby girl been okay with me having a girl, but I don’t know how she would react to a baby. Besides, I don’t know how to share responsibility of raising a kid with another parent. I did that shit by myself and I think I did a damn good job. Rubbing my hand on her belly, I couldn’t believe I was about to be a daddy again. Hearing laughter coming from upstairs, I damn near threw Lisa off me. Running upstairs, I bumped into Kalina walking through the hallway on the phone. Signaling for her to get off, I walked in her room. As soon as she walked in, I lit into her ass.

  “Where the fuck have you been? What did I tell you about leaving this house and not telling me? Do you think this shit a fucking game and I won’t lay your ass out?” She looked at me and started laughing. That shit had me burn your ass hot.

  “You do know I’m twenty two right? Me and Boo went to get some food. She picked me up and I went. You have to lighten up some before you lose me. I honor everything you say because I respect you, but I think you seem to forget I’m grown. Either you gone have to tell me what the fuck we running from or give me some space daddy. You refuse to tell me anything and just expect me to give into your demands. That shit ain’t right and you owe me more than that.” This lil girl must have lost her damn mind.

  “First off, if you ever say I’m running from any mother fucking thing, I will shoot you where you fucking stand. Vicious ain’t scared of shit. I told you what you need to know and that’s it. Ain’t no if you grown get the fuck out of my house. Your ass gone do what the fuck I say or lose your fucking life. This shit ain’t no fucking game. Stop playing with me.” Standing up, this lil girl got in my face like she was ready to box.

  “Lose my life? Lose my life daddy? Naw bruh, I think you got me fucked up. I got all A’s and I barely go anywhere. All the other kids out there experiencing life, but I’m stuck in a fucking room like a prisoner. Guess what I did daddy? I come home and bring my ass to this room like the damn prisoner you made me out to be, but don’t get this shit twisted. Don’t threaten my life like I ain’t shit. All I’m asking for is a lil room to be a normal damn adult.” This was definitely my child. Only the kid of Vicious would stand in my face trying to go toe to toe with me. I was proud as fuck right now, but I wasn’t about to tell her ass that. She wanted to be tough, I wanted to see how tough she was. Grabbing her by her neck, I slammed her ass against the wall. Pulling my gun out, I waited for her to back down.

  “If you point it at me, you better use it.” This lil girl was trying all of my patience.

  “You think you tough? Who the fuck you think you got it from? You’re a monster, but lil girl I’m God. I wil
l take your fucking life and cry while I bury your ass. I don’t know what has gotten into you, but don’t forget who the fuck I am.” The room door bust opened and I raised my gun, I guess Kalina thought I was raising it at her and she jumped. She was just like me, but not quite. If she was the same kind of monster I was, she would have pulled her gun. If I wanted her in this life, I would teach her how to be just that, but I couldn’t have my baby girl doing that.

  “David, have you lost your damn mind? Let that girl go. If you think for one second you about to do our child like this, I can leave now.” I wanted to shoot this big mouth bitch in her throat. Have her ass talking like the bitch on the cigarette commercial. Talked too fucking much.

  “Yall funny as fuck. That’s why you in here pulling guns on me because you got another baby on the way? You don’t need me no more?” Now her ass was being dramatic, but I wasn’t about to let my baby girl feel like that.

  “Shut your dumb ass up. I just wanted to see how much like me you really were since you stood up in my face like a bad ass. You will always be my baby girl and no other baby will change that. You’re my first love. I know shit don’t make sense, but I need you to trust me.” Tears fell from her eyes and now I really felt like shit. She was tearing at my heart strings.

  “It’s all good. You got a new family now. You’ve always threatened me daddy and I’ve always did what you wanted. Not because I was scared, I’m lying who wouldn’t be scared of you. I listened though because I respected you and your decisions. I trusted that you wanted what was best for me, but you can’t even give me a real answer why you don’t want your grown ass daughter to have a life. Why is that. Be honest, just tell me that much.” Knowing she was feeling like I didn’t want her, I decided to give her something.
