My eyes were closed and my teeth were sunk into his shoulders. When I threw my head back and opened my eyes there my mom was standing with tears in her eyes and a gun in her hand. I gasped for air and stopped moving completely. I was completely frozen with fear and guilt. How could I do my mom like this? She has only wanted the best for me and she has one everything in her power to make sure I wanted for nothing. I was staring at her in her eyes but sulking in my own self-pity when suddenly my mom ran over and hit Mr. Frank in the back of the head with the gun. He dropped me and reached for his head. I crawled away quickly as I could to the furthest corner. I watched my mom in horror as she beat him in his head repeatedly with the gun while talking.
“You low down dirty mother fucker!” whap. “You have the nerve to be fucking my daughter.” Slap. “I gave you thirteen years, I’ve put up with all your bullshit, whap, whap and this is how you repay me?” whap, whap, again as tears flooded her face. “Not only do you fuck my daughter but you beat her. You are dying tonight!” she yelled before she pulled the trigger.
My mom used every bullet in her thirty-eight special. One to his head, one to his neck, one to his heart, one to his dick and one to each leg. I sat in the corner screaming and rocking back and forth in total shock. My mom ran over to me and hugged me while crying with me. She repeatedly told me she was sorry over and over again. I couldn’t understand why she would be telling me she was sorry when I was the one who had done this.
Now as I sit and think about all that happened I can’t even be mad at my best friend. If she ends up needing me to hold her again then that is exactly what I will do. I will be there for her and I will kill him. No man will break my bestie’s heart and live to see another day.
Chapter 7
Legend
We rode around the city for a while on a party bus that we rented for a few hours and some strippers to entertain us. The bus was all black and seated thirty people easily. When you stepped on the bus there were red strobe lights throughout. There was a mini bar behind the driver that was fully equipped with Remy Martin, Hennessy, Cîroc, Grey Goose, Chivas Regal Royal Salute, Ace of Spade and Patron so that we could get toasted.
The strippers were in the middle of the bus working the two poles. To the rear of the bus was a flat screen TV that was playing the videos to the songs that were playing. Everyone had on white except the birthday boy. Roe had on all black to separate him from the pack. It was his day so I wanted all the attention to be on him. We rode around the city up until it was time to hit the club.
The GMB pulled up to the Diamond Club at about ten forty-five so that we could get seated and continue our bottle popping spree for Roe’s twenty-first birthday. It was hard trying to keep all this from him but we managed to do it. Even though the bus seated all those people, the only people that were on there were my closet boys, my family. The first one off the bus was Akin and he is the head of the diamond ring that we run. He was followed by my best friend Jude who is the cocaine connect. After him came Zied and he runs the gun operation. Fabe was the next one to step off and he oversees the heroin. Santiago followed after Fabe and he runs the girls. Infamous came next and he is head of security, he runs the enforcement. I stepped down after Infamous and you all know I’m the boss, the brains, the connection between it all. Last but not least was Roe. Roe is who we get the high grade weed from and also my protégé, I hope to one day be able to step down and hand it all to him.
We walked right up to the bouncer and he cleared the rope without a word. I reached in my pocket and handed him five hundred dollars. He cuffed the money in his hand, patted my back and nodded his head in appreciation. Soon as we walked in the club the music stopped playing and the DJ spoke over the mic.
“We got them GMB boys in the house tonight! Everybody give a big shout out to Roe for his twenty-first birthday. If you don’t have a drink in your hand, then get you one. Grab a bottle, pop the top and let’s get this party started.”
The crowd screamed happy birthday and went wild. Roe just stood in that one spot and looked around. Biggs had really outdone himself. There were ladies hanging from the ceiling on swings dressed in little white cloths to cover their private parts. The whole club was decorated in white and gold. There was a big picture of Roe positioned on the stage like a back drop and all the waitresses had on white crop tops with booty shorts. You can tell he was shocked and filled with nothing but joy at this moment. If I’m not mistaken, it looked as if tears were in his eyes. I put my arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, “If I see a tear drop I will never stop clowning you.”
Roe nudged me in my ribs a let out a throaty laugh.
Chapter 8
Truth
After we left the mall I dropped Myst off at home so she could do what she needed to do for tonight. I let her out at the curb then raced to my house because it was already seven and I still needed to flat iron my hair. Once I parked the car I swiftly grabbed all my bags and headed into my home. I absolutely love my home because it is quiet and peaceful and I am able to leave all my stress on the other side of the door.
The color scheme that I chose to decorate it in is tan, teal green and hints of brown. I have a beautiful teal green sectional seated in the middle of the living room with tan and green throw pillows spread about. The curtains that align the bay windows are tan, teal and brown. There are African artifacts on the mantle above the fireplace and beautiful African statues in each corner of the room. The Hawaiian Aloha candles spread throughout my whole home gave it that tropical smell that I love.
The first thing I did was call a limo service to pick me and the girls up tonight. I want to get wasted and I’m pretty sure they do too so no one needs to drive. We have been working, working, working, with no time to enjoy ourselves so tonight we are going to get loose. After I reserved the limo I called my girls to let them know to meet up at my house. I informed them of the limo that I ordered and the girls were hyped up. I spoke with them for a little while then headed upstairs to get ready for tonight.
I got in the shower for about forty-five minutes. The hot water streaming over my body was so relaxing but I knew I was on a time limit so I went ahead and washed. I stepped out, dried off and stood in the mirror so that I could try to do something with this hair. It took me an hour to get this curly mess all flat ironed like I liked it. I parted my hair down the middle to give it some sass and pizazz. I rarely wore makeup up but I brought the mac out for tonight. I was very pleased with my end result and my face looked as if it was did up by the Gods. I placed some relentless red Mac lipstick on my lips then blew a kiss at myself. Damn I look good.
Once I was done in the restroom, I went in my room and lotioned my body down with some Juicy Couture lotion. I put on my dress, switched to my gold Gucci clutch and then slid on my heels. I looked myself over in the mirror and I was in love with what I saw. I grabbed everything I needed and headed downstairs to pour me a drink and wait for my girls.
Five minutes later they started arriving. I had already poured all the shots and they were ready for the drinks as soon as they walked through the door. All of us were killing it tonight. We chatted for a bit, took a few more shots and practiced a few dance moves. We were turned up and tipsy and the limo pulled up right on time to get us on our way. Before I walked out I made sure that I added some more lipstick and refreshed my perfume. I gave myself a once over then headed out the door with my girls behind me.
It was twelve o’clock when we reached the club and it was packed. The line stretched around the corner but we had no worries about getting in. The limo stopped right in front of the door to the club and the chicken heads were breaking their necks to see who was inside. I stepped out first to get the show started and their faces dropped with disappointment and hate. The women seemed to be real salty but the men were hollering to get out attention.
We walked like we were ripping the runway right on up to the skip line. I stepped to the huge bouncer then gave him a smile and my name so th
at he could check the list. The bouncer didn’t even look at the list after he got a good look at us. He just raised the rope and let us through. Myst being the most outgoing one gave him a kiss on the cheek before she walked in and he looked like he had came in his pants just that fast. That was such a funny sight to see and he should have been embarrassed.
Once we made it fully inside the men started pulling at us from left and right. Ugh, that is one of the things that I hate about the club scene. They do not know how to just say hello or step to you in a decent way. They have to pull all on you for your attention and that really pisses me off. The first thing we did was stop by the bar and got three bottles of Cîroc to keep the turn up going then we headed to VIP.
I was already feeling pretty good and that had me real anxious to see Mr. Legend. I led the pack up the stairs where he had told me he would be and when we walked through all eyes were on us. I didn’t have to look too hard to spot Legend. I was really checking for him so I spotted him as soon as I walked through the door. I pretended to look around as if I didn’t see him just so he wouldn’t think that I’m thirsty. I finally decided to stop playing around and when I did look in his direction we locked eyes and he stood up to greet me. My girls were standing there so I tapped Star on the shoulder to get her attention so they could follow me.
Chapter 9
Legend
It took us damn near thirty minutes to make it to the VIP section upstairs with all the people stopping us. The section was decorated all white as well with the exception of the gold table cloths that covered the tables. The waitresses that were serving the party had on little gold outfits that left nothing to the imagination but I wasn’t complaining at all. The waitress spotted my crew coming in and they gave each man a bottle of Ace of Spades then told us to enjoy ourselves.
I sat off in the far corner by myself so that I could think and watch my boys as they got their party on. I’m not much of a drinker so the Spades was on the table unopened. I reached inside my coat and grabbed one of my pre-rolled blunts, lit the tip and inhaled some of that Cali Kush I got from Roe earlier today. That weed is some good shit and I was higher than giraffe’s pussy. As I looked around, my mind was gone and in the clouds but when I saw Truth walk in with her girls I got it together.
That woman is so beautiful to me and I can see myself making her my wife one day. I hope she turns out to be a good chic and always keep it one hundred because I won’t deal with another bird. Baby girl had on a white dress that hugged all of the curves that God blessed her with. The gold Gucci strapped heels that she had on her feet had her legs and ass looking right too. There was a split in the dress that showed just enough thigh to make me want to bite her right there but not enough to make her look trashy.
I have to admit that her girls were bad too but none of them could hold a candle to her. I watched her as she looked around looking for me for a few moments then she finally spotted me and our eyes locked. She tapped one of her girls on the shoulder then they all cat walked over to the table where I sat. As I saw them approaching I stood up to greet them. She walked right up to me and stood only a couple of inches from my chest. I looked down into her eyes then slightly smiled at her showing my dimples.
“Hey Beautiful, I’m glad you could make it out to see me tonight,” I said in the deepest voice that I could muster up.
She blushed then looked at me for a few seconds longer then began introducing me to her friends.
“Hello Handsome, these are my girls. This here is my best friend Myst and this is Lala, Faith, Alex, Red, and Star.” She said with a smile.
I could feel the heat from my boys watching us and they slowly made their way to us one by one. I knew it would only be a matter of time before they came over and I couldn’t blame them because all of the ladies were some dimes. Let me take that back. Dimes may not even be a good enough word to describe the ladies in front of me. I grabbed Trutice around the waist and pulled her close to me so that they knew she is mine and off limits to them.
“Ladies this here is my brother Infamous and my boys Akin, Jude, Zied, Fabe and Santi. My man’s here in the all black is Roe, the man of the hour.” I said to the ladies.
They all said their hellos then each one of the fellas grabbed the lady of their choice and headed back to their tables. You could tell that the chickens they had been sitting with them at first were mad because they all got up, gathered their purses and left without a goodbye. The girls looked at each other, high fived and started laughing at the other girls while they walked off. Truth was at the table with me shaking her head and laughing right along with them
I leaned closer to her so that she could hear me over the loud music then whispered to her,
“Would you like some of this Ace?”
“No thank you, I rather have a glass of peach Cîroc and pineapple juice.” She whispered back into my ear.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the warmth from her mouth tickled the inside of my ear and I felt myself growing. This woman already had me gone and I couldn’t stop myself from leaning close to her then kissing her lips. She didn’t stop me either so that was a plus in my book.
She kissed me long and hard then licked my lips, pulled away and said,
“Now you got you one so you can quit staring at my lips like that.”
I laughed a little, gave her a head nod and leaned back into my seat. We made small talk about any and everything for about an hour before her drinks started to really kick in. I know I smoked about five blunts back to back and she had about a good six drinks so we both were pretty buzzed. Shorty got up when Future’s “Fuck up Some Commas” came on. She got out her chair then stood in front of me and started winding her hips. She was doing her thing and had people watching us so I reached out to grab her then tried to pull her onto my lap. Baby wasn’t having that though. She slapped my hand and threw her hair over her shoulder as she turned around giving me a view of that fat brown round while singing,
“Fuck up the llama, I’m hot like a summer yeah
The burner is on me, they play with that money yeah
I’m fucking with my shorty I’m loving the way she fucking me yeah
Give no fucks yeah we don’t give no fucks yeah
Throw my cup yeah I just bought my plug yeah
For the mud yeah nigga full of them drugs yeah
Feeling real right yeah I’m on same thing as mike yeah
Ball with ice yeah I’m gonna beat that dog like Ike yeah
Fuck up some commas, let's fuck up some commas yea
Let’s fuck up some commas, let's fuck up some commas yea
Hundred thou to a hundred thou, hundred thou to another hundred thou
Three hundred thou five hundred thou a million let’s have a money shower.”
Baby girl was crunker than Lil John when he was with the Eastside Boys. Truth leaned over the table slightly and had that booty making waves. I was hypnotized. I wanted to grab her by her hair and fuck the shit out of her from the back right then but I held back because we were in the club. Had this been at my place she would have got this dick. I thought to myself, yep, this will be my wife. I’m loving everything about her already. Shorty didn’t even know it but she had me open. I continued to watch her a little longer, then reached into my pocket and pulled out my wad. I started making it rain hundreds all over her. I didn’t mind giving her none of my money because she was worth every penny for the show that she was putting on for me.
I felt a buzzing on my hip but right now nothing or no one can take my attention away from baby girl. The buzzing stopped then started again and again I ignored it. The only reason I ended up looking away from her was because someone tapped me on my shoulder. When I saw my ex standing there all I could do was shake my head. I forgot I told her about the party. She had gotten on my nerves so bad about seeing me that I invited her to come just so she could shut up whining. I hope baby girl don’t flip out on me and I lose my chance at life with her.
Chapter 10
Truth
I was facing Myst so she gave me a wink of the eye with a smirk on her face and I knew something was up. I looked over my shoulder at the face that tried to stop my show. When I looked back I saw it was this chic that I can’t stand named Epiphany Sanchez. This heifer has had it out for me since we were kids. I’ve had to beat this chic a few times and tonight would be no different if she got out of line. I kept right on doing what I was doing. I leaned back against Legend’s chest and rubbed my butt on his dick. I started rubbing up and down my body and I could see her face turning beet red. I was loving every moment of it.
“So Legend you and this bitch are going to sit here and disrespect me like this?” She tried to yell over the music.
“Man Epiphany, I am busy right now so go do you.” He replied nonchalantly.
I had a huge smile taunting her to go ahead and make a fool of herself.
“Yes, Epiphany he is busy so move around.
“You shut up bitch, I’m not talking to you.” She said with her fists balled.
“No need for the name calling Piph, just leave.” He said.
She picked up a drink off the table as if she were going to throw it and that’s when all hell broke loose. I kicked the drink out of her hand in into the face of her friend then round house kicked that broad in the chest. She flipped over the seats behind her and her friend tried to swing at me. Before her friend could get a full swing Myst stepped in and punched her in the nose. Star, Lala, Faith, Alex and Red were right behind Myst.
We beat the hell out of them in less than two minutes. The bouncers tried to grab me and I hit him in the throat, kneed him in the balls and kicked him in the face bringing him down hard. No one else wanted to touch me after that. The bouncers had the other girls under control but I would whip all of their asses if they touch me. I looked the bouncer in the eye that was approaching and Legend told him that he has me. I straightened my dress, grabbed my clutch and told the girls lets go.
