Daughter of a Hood Legend

by Latoya Nicole

  “Say less.”

  That was yesterday and my ass still didn’t have a plan. I was just as lost now, as I was when I realized everything was going to shit. One thing I did know, the money didn’t stop and I still had a drop off to do.

  “Hey nigga your ass over there day dreaming and shit, what’s the move?” Glitch was loyal, but I knew he didn’t want to go against my father. None of us did. Hell, I loved my daddy and I refused to go to war with him. This nigga was trying to kill me for some shit I had nothing to do with.

  “I don’t know what I’m going to do about my daddy. For now, all I can say is stay safe. It’s fucked up, but I’m not prepared to tell him who I am. I have to find out some information on who shot at them and then we can steer him away. Until then, I have to make this drop. We will stay in pairs as long as we are in the city. Nobody is to be left alone.”

  “I know this is probably fucked up to suggest, but none of this shit started happening until you told Capone who you was. You sure it’s not him behind this?” No this bitch Breezy didn’t try to come for my dick. Even if he was guilty, I wouldn’t see it because I was dickmatized like a mother fucker.

  “Bitch you tried it. He is the reason my daddy didn’t put a bullet in my head. He has nothing to do with this, but we do need to figure out who is behind it. I’m glad you’re using your head to think, but you barking up the wrong tree. Now come go with me to make this drop.” You could tell she wanted to question me further, but she let it go.

  “Take Glitch, I’m not ready for that yet. I’m still dealing with issues behind the shooting.” I felt for her and I knew she would have to come around on her own. I just hoped it was soon because I needed her.

  “Aight Glitch let’s go. We’ll be back soon bestie.” Walking out of the door, we got in my truck and headed out. Glitch was quiet and that was fine with me. I didn’t want to defend Capone any further. I trusted my man and they needed to trust me. Pulling up to the trap, I grabbed the bag and got out. Glitch was on my heels being my eyes. As soon as we walked in, everyone got quiet. Big Tone walked up to me with a bag of money with a smirk on his face. That shit put me on alert.

  “I was wondering how a pretty ass bitch like you got on so easily. Your ass not the distributor, you’re Roulette. Must be nice to have the city handed to you since you’re Vicious’ daughter. Your ass basically a trust fund baby.” Hearing him say that shit had me hot. I worked hard to get shit how I wanted and I refused to let someone discredit me because of who my daddy was. Pulling my gun, he didn’t have time to see it coming. Grabbing his head towards me, I pushed the gun under his chin and fired.

  “Are you feeling lucky? What about you? How about you?” Letting Tone’s body drop, I started screaming at everyone in the room. You could tell Glitch didn’t know what to do, but I didn’t give a fuck. I was the daughter of a hood legend and I didn’t need anybody. Pulling the trigger, I laid everybody down in the house. “I guess you mother fuckers wasn’t lucky. Glitch, can you stop daydreaming long enough to get my fucking money and dope.” Walking out of the house, I fought back tears as I got in my truck.

  How dare they try to say my daddy handed that shit over to me. My ass put in work out there in those streets. I deserved them and I wasn’t about to let anybody take them from me. Not even my daddy. Of course, I wasn’t going to war with his ass, but I was going to figure out a way to lead him in the right direction so he could go back to his boring ass life. I’ve never had to defend who the fuck I was and I wasn’t about to start today. Glitch got in the truck with me and this time he did speak up.

  “What the fuck was that about? Now we have extra product and nobody to push it. You’re being reckless and this is not like you. That shit about Capone bothering you, but that’s your own battle you have to fight.”

  “Nigga please. This has been me since the beginning. Anybody find out who I am, they ass gotta go. Ain’t shit about me reckless. I don’t care who have to push the work, put your mama on the corner, I don’t give a fuck. Now shut the fuck up. We have another drop.” Pulling off, I headed to the next drop house.

  “Oh boy right there just looked at you. Are you going to kill him? Wait, that kid just smiled. Are you going to kill her? You’re in denial and that’s cool, but if you ever bring my mama in some more of your adolescent bullshit, we gone have a problem.” Pulling the car over, I pulled my gun and sat it in my lap. This nigga was getting loose at the lips, so I figure he must have an issue and I wanted him to get it off his chest.

  “You feeling lucky my nigga? You my boy, but at the end of the fucking day, you work for me. I won’t tolerate disrespect today or tomorrow, so let me know now if it’s going to be a problem. I said it’s not him and that’s it. End of fucking discussion.”

  “Say less my nigga.” We did the next drop in silence and headed back towards Breezy’s house. It wasn’t sitting right with me that me and my right hand was into it. When I parked the car, I decided to be the bigger person.

  “Look, we both dealing with a lot of emotions right now and the entire legacy could be crashing down. I get that and I’m not upset at you. I know you looking out for me like you always do. Just give me time to figure it out. I’m sorry bro.”

  “I ain’t worried about you Roulette. You soft as pussy hair. We good. Let’s go check on the real loony one. She been going through some shit since the shooting. Her ass not the same and I don’t know what to do. I want my bitch back.” Thinking it over, I had a plan.

  “Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get her back?” When he nodded, I knew what to do. “I got a plan and I know the shit gone work. She’ll be good.” Getting out of the truck, we headed inside. After taking a shower, I laid down and turned off the lights. My ass was tired and my mind was on overload. My ass was drifting off to sleep until I felt somebody standing over me. Hitting the light on, Capone was taking off his clothes to climb in bed with me.

  “Nigga, how the fuck you know where Breezy stay? Wait, how did your ass get in the gate?” All he did was laugh.

  “I have my ways shorty. Now shut the fuck up and come get this dick.” For a brief moment, Glitch and Breezy’s words played in my head. Until I felt his dick against my thigh. Then all sanity went out of the window.

  BREEZY

  Everybody was walking around waiting on me to return to normal, but how the fuck can I do that when shit wasn’t the same. Nobody else lost anything but me. Yeah, they loved my dad but it’s not the same. He was my actual father our hurts don’t match up sus. Glitch was treating me like a fucking invalid and Roulette was treating me like nothing happened. Vicious didn’t come over at all and I was over it. My ass would probably be better off with them leaving me here by myself.

  On top of me losing Big Back, I lost my baby, and I got shot the fuck up. Nobody else has gone through this before and I’m tired of trying to explain my feelings. I also think I was going through PTSD. Every time I hear something that remotely sounds like a gun shot, I lose my entire mind.

  Turning on the TV, I tried to take my mind off of everything going on around me. It was just my luck Boyz In the Hood was on, and Ricky was getting his ass shot up. Trying my best to tune it out, I covered my ears but the shit didn’t help. Next thing I know, I was balled up on the floor screaming and crying. Glitch came running in the room and you could tell he was tired and didn’t know what to do.

  “Breezy what’s wrong? Talk to me ma, tell me what I can do to help.” I wanted to scream get the fuck out and never come back, but I knew that was the frustration talking. He has been a God send, but the hovering only made it worse. It just made me think about the baby we lost. We haven’t had sex since he’s been back and I knew it was killing him. Looking at him, reminded me of what we lost and the shit was hard.

  “The gun shots. I can’t take the gun shots.” Realizing I was talking about the TV, he grabbed the remote and turned it off. Suddenly, I felt silly. I could have done the same shit.

 
“Breezy baby, it’s going to be okay. I’m going to help you through this. Are you good, I have somewhere to be but I don’t want to leave you alone. You know Roulette got us traveling in pairs since she scared of her daddy.” That caused a smile to creep across my face. All of us was scared of Vicious and praying his ass didn’t come take us out.

  “I’ll be okay baby. Go handle business. I’ll be here scared of my own shadow until you get back.” You could tell he felt a certain kind of way, but I wasn’t about to go into all of that. He needed to go be with Roulette right now. Kissing me, he walked out and I hid under the covers.

  Even though I wanted space to heal, I can admit that I was tired of being scared. This wasn’t me, but I didn’t know how to get out of my own head. Closing my eyes, I was finally able to go to sleep. That shit didn’t last long though. An hour later, Roulette started blowing my phone up. For a minute, I was scared to answer. I just knew she was about to tell me something happened to Glitch.

  “Hello.” My ass was so nervous, I was damn near whispering.

  “Bitch you need to get over here to the warehouse. It’s Glitch.” My heart dropped and the tears immediately fell. I was about to pass out because I knew my heart couldn’t take no more.

  “God please no. Why are you doing this to me. I don’t deserve all this pain. Oh God.” She went silent and then started yelling.

  “Stupid bitch, he not dead. Now, if you’re done praying to God about a fake death, get your ass over here. This nigga in the bathroom about to fuck this bitch. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t take no shit like that.” My tears dried up and turned to rage. Not giving a fuck how I looked, I threw on some shoes and got ready to head out of the door.

  “Say less.” Hanging up, I grabbed my gun and jumped in my whip. His ass had me so fucked up right now. My ass at home scared and grieving our child and his ass was still on dumb shit. Granted, I haven’t been giving up the pussy, but he ain’t ask neither. I’m glad he didn’t because I’m sure that mother fucker was barking. I couldn’t remember the last time I shaved my shit. My as swerved in and out of traffic trying to get there. His bitch ass was about to go check on my daddy because he had me fucked up. Pulling up to the warehouse, I jumped out and ran inside. Everybody was looking at me like I was I crazy, but I didn’t give a fuck. I was crazy. My nigga fucking a bitch in the bathroom, bitch I’m insane.

  I was ready to blow all they ass up including Roulette for allowing it to happen. She could have shot they ass then called me. Kicking the door in, I raised my gun and fired. The first shot, caught the girl in the back of the head. Glitch took off running and I was so mad, I missed his ass. I went running through the warehouse screaming looking for his ass.

  “Don’t run now. Your ass wasn’t running when you was sticking that lil ass dick with the extra meat in that hoe. I done took all of your bullshit. I ain’t say a word when I was sucking your dick and that lil piece of meat was smelling like fried okra. Bring your bitch ass here dinner special. Your ass around here feeding the hoes all the extra meat.” When I rounded the corner, Roulette and Glitch was standing there laughing. He had his hands raised trying to talk, but he couldn’t stop laughing.

  “Okay, while Glitch get his shit together calm down. Listen, it was all my idea. We wanted Breezy back I was tired of that depressed ass bitch Boo and I knew that something like this would bring you back.” My ass was shocked at the lengths that they were going to just to help me. I couldn’t do shit but laugh. They had my ass out here looking like a damn fool all for a joke.

  “Ma, we didn’t expect you to come out here in mix match shoes, Ms. Ceily plats, and your granny’s night gown.” Looking down, Glitch had me out here looking bad. I fell into a fit of laughter. My ass was out here with a ballerina slipper on and a Gucci gym shoe.

  “Fuck yall. All you had to do was slap a bitch. You didn’t have to do me like that. I’m probably all on these bitch ass nigga’s snap chat and shit and who is the bitch I done killed?” I done killed somebody’s daughter for nothing.

  “A bitch that knew who I was, so she was gone die anyway. I’m glad you back bitch because I didn’t know what to do with that soft ass chick that wouldn’t come out of the room.” I got where she was coming from and I was glad I was back as well. I needed to do some shit to take my mind off of everything.

  “Ma, I know you’re sad. I get that, but we need to all be out here hitting these streets trying to find out who did it and handle it. Not lying down hiding and shit.” Glitch was right and I was about to get my shit together. I needed to avenge my baby and my father and I couldn’t do that hiding.

  “Well first, I’m about to go my ass home and get myself together. I look a fucking mess.” Everybody laughed and Glitch headed out with me. As soon as we got home, he was all over me. I’m not sure if I was ready, but I didn’t want to keep pushing him away.

  “Listen ma, I know what happened to our baby was fucked up. I want to give you another one. I want to make this baby out of love and both parents knowing and there. I want to see the pregnancy test, go to the doctor to hear the heartbeat for the first time. This time around, I want to be there for everything.” Tears fell from my eyes and I wanted to tell him I was scared, but he wouldn’t allow me to speak. Kissing my tears, he rubbed all over my body. Laying me on the bed, he slowly entered me. Tears continued to fall, but it felt just right.

  It wasn’t fast and hard like it normally is, he stroked me like he wanted me to feel the love he had for me. Glitch wanted this baby to be made out of love and I wasn’t mad at his ass. My heart felt complete as I made love to my man for the first time. Granted, I wish I had shaved first but he didn’t care. This was what I wanted all along from him. It took us a long time to get here, but we made it. We came together and I fell more in love with his ass.

  “Ma, we both have done some fucked up things, but I wouldn’t trade you for anybody. If I had to leave here today, I would want to go knowing you was carrying my last name. Will you marry me Blanae?” Damn near jumping off the bed, I had to make sure he was serious. He told me he would never get married and I know his ass wasn’t joking when he said that. Hell, he put me out his house because I was pissed about it and started throwing shit at him.

  “Don’t play with me because I take shit like this seriously. If you try to change your mind on me, I’ll Bill Cosby your ass and you gone wake up at the altar.” Laughing, he pulled me back on the bed.

  “I’m serious. If we gone do this with the baby and all, I want to do it the right way. I’m still waiting on my answer and I’m not gone ask your ass again.”

  “Nigga it was yes before you asked. In my mind we been engaged.” Leaning over I kissed him and for the first time in a while, everything seemed okay.

  CAPONE

  After the night me and Roulette spent together, she been acting funny with a nigga. I had no idea what was going on with her, but the shit was bothering me like a mother fucker. I hope she knows that I didn’t deliberately try and hurt her father. The nigga was about to kill her and I had to do what I could to stop it.

  Shit was fucked up and I dialed her number again. When I didn’t get an answer, I was ready to find her and fuck her up. She was playing with me and I wasn’t the nigga for the bullshit. I didn’t want to play this game with her, but I couldn’t figure out how to get her off my mind. Shorty had a hold on me and the shit was stressing me out.

  “Nigga why the fuck you sitting in here moping around and shit. This bitch got you tripping. What the fuck she done did now? She already got your ass around here keeping secrets and shit like you a female. My nigga what’s up?” I know Shitz like to talk crazy, it’s what he did, but I was over him talking down on my shorty.

  “Call her another bitch and watch you lose your teeth. Shorty a reflection of me and whether you like it or not, you not gone sit in my face and disrespect her. Check your tone or lose your throat. Now, if you really concerned shorty not checking for me right now. Vici
ous on a damn war path and he was about to shoot her ass not knowing it was her, I stopped him and now she not talking to my ass.”

  “Wait, what the fuck you mean you stopped him? How you stop Vicious from doing anything and your ass still alive? That nigga don’t give a fuck who you are, he will take your ass out over anything.” Laughing, it was a damn shame how scared he was of that nigga.

  “I hit his car with my shit. He flipped over and we left. I didn’t want him to see it was his daughter.” Shitz laughed at me like I was lying.

  “Naw, you didn’t want him to see it was you. Your ass out here playing duck duck goose and shit. When he catch up to your ass, you gone wish you let him shoot her.” Shaking my head, I couldn’t believe this grown ass nigga was talking like this.

  “I ain’t playing shit. Either way, now she not answering my calls and shit. I’m ready to go put a bullet in her ass for the nigga.”

  “Bro, the best way to get back at a bi.. at a chick, is by using another chick. Go to the strip club and post a pic there, I bet she be on your line within seconds.” He was smart to catch his self.

  “You know I don’t post on my shit. She wouldn’t even think to check that bitch.”

  “Trust me. Let’s gone over to KOD and watch these ugly ass hoes shake they stiff ass. They spend all this money on some shit that won’t even move. Baffles the fuck out of me.”

  “You go head. I’ll hook up with you tomorrow.” He left out and I called her again, when she didn’t answer, I thought fuck it. Why not. I’m not a childish ass nigga, but if she wanted to play games, I could too. Running out behind Shitz, I jumped in the car with him to go watch the dry ass bitches.
