“Hmm probably the same place my mother is. Buying drugs or either exchanging sex for it.”
Choice looked over at a bodega on the corner when she noticed a familiar person standing in front of the store. The person looked like they’d weighed no more than a hundred pounds. Her clothes enveloped her small frame. Choice’s hands became shaky as she stared at Karen. She wanted answers. She pulled the car over and got out quickly.
“Karen! Karen!” Choice yelled as she sprinted across the street. Karen took one look at Choice and took off running in the opposite direction. Choice ran as fast as she could but it was pointless. Karen was too fast. Karen turned around and looked at Choice before turning down an alley.
Tears came to Choice’s eyes as she stopped running. She didn’t expect Karen to run but she wasn’t surprised either. Choice turned around and started walking back to her car. Every so often, she would turn around and look back like Karen would appear. Some kids and a few adults stood off to the side whispering to each other while they stared at Choice like she was a crazy woman. Choice wiped away the tears that slid down her face as she ignored the stares and the whispering.
She slammed her car door and rested her head against the headrest. Her suspicions were confirmed by Karen’s reaction towards seeing her tonight. Karen was guilty. Choice wanted so badly to call Supreme to tell him what had just happened. She changed her mind when she thought about how disrespectful he had been. Choice would have to suck it up and deal with it on her own.
Choice was worried sick as she looked at the clock hanging on the living room wall. It was going on two in the morning. Supreme still wasn’t home. She’d called his phone five times and there was still no answer. Choice rested one hand on her hip as she paced back in forth in the living room. This was so out of his character. Something had to be wrong because he wouldn’t do this. Choice picked up her phone and called Ashley. Her phone rang several times before Ashley answered in a drowsy voice.
“What’s the matter, Choice? Are you okay?”
“Hey Ash, Supreme hasn’t made it home yet. I’m worried because he may be in trouble.”
Ashley cleared her throat before speaking. “Choice, maybe he’s at a club or something. I’m pretty sure he’s fine. Do you want me to come over there and wait with you because you know if you need me I’m there?” Ashley asked.
“No Ash, I wouldn’t ask you to get up outta your bed in come over here at two in the morning. Is Petey home?”
“Yeah, you wanna talk to him?” Ashley asked as she yawned through the phone.
“Yeah, let me talk to him, please.”
Choice walked into the kitchen as she waited for Petey to get on the phone.
“Wassup, Mayweather?” Petey asked jokingly. “Why you ain’t sleep?”
Choice smacked her lips through the phone while a smile settled on her face. “Here you go. Why you gotta always associate me with violence anyway.”
Petey chuckled. “Because you knock hoes out so I call you Mayweather.”
Choice playfully rolled her eyes up into her head anyway. “Supreme isn’t home. I’m worried that something is wrong. He’s never done this before.”
“Calm down Choice”
“Petey, how can I calm down and Supreme hasn’t come home?” Choice sighed into the phone. “Why aren’t you worried?”
“Because there’s nothing to be worried about. He ain’t answering my calls either. The nigga probably wanna be left alone.”
“I’ll go look for him but you need to get some sleep. Supreme will be there when you wake up.”
“Okay, Petey. I’ll try to fall asleep.”
“I’ll talk to you later.”

Supreme was at King of Diamonds sitting in VIP close to the door. He wanted to be able to see who was leaving and coming. He had his hat sitting low over his eyes as he took huge sips of Ace of Spades. He was slightly tipsy as he slouched down on the couch to watch a stripper named Bubbles perform for him. Bubbles was trying her hardest to get his attention as she climbed up the pole and rotated hips to the Rick Ross and Meek Mill song playing.
Bubbles took off her bra and tossed it on Supreme’s lap. Supreme took a drink from the Ace of Spades bottle and then another as he lazily flung the bra off of his lap. He was surprised when Petey walked up.
“Fuck is up with you, fam?” Petey asked.
Supreme ignored Petey’s presence as he continued to watch Bubbles performing for him.
“Choice called. She’s worried about you,” Petey said. “Don’t you think it’s time for you to be heading on home?”
“Thanks for delivering the message, Pete. You can go back home now. I’m about to leave in a little while.”
Petey nodded his head then stood up to leave he gave Supreme some dap before walking out of the VIP. An hour or so later Supreme was finally ready to leave. So he took five hundred dollars out of his pocket and sat it on top of the table before leaving.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
When Supreme got home, he took his shoes off at the door then walked upstairs to his bedroom. He stood at the door watching Choice sleep for a moment. Supreme quietly walked into his room and took off his shirt before walking to his side of the bed. Choice’s eyes slowly opened as she stared at the wall for a few seconds before focusing on the alarm clock on her nightstand.
It was two minutes after four and Choice instantly caught an attitude. She sat up in bed and looked over at Supreme.
“Where the fuck have you been? And why are you just getting home? I was scared that something had happened to you?” Choice said.
Supreme was lying on top of the covers with his arm resting across his eyes.
“Supreme!”
“What?”
“Tell me where you were.”
Supreme removed his arm in looked over at her. Choice’s eyes looked misty and she looked so hurt and confused. The look on her face broke him.
“I was at King of Diamonds.”
Choice’s eyes roamed all over Supreme’s body as thoughts of another woman pleasing him popped into her mind. The tattoos on his body begged to be licked and Choice had to remind herself that she was mad at him. Her eyes finally settled on his face. Did he cheat on me? I know this nigga did not just cheat on me. Tears slid down her cheeks as she thought of the possibility of his betrayal.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Supreme asked as he sat up in bed.
“Did you fuck with one of those hoes at the strip club?”
“What?” Supreme shook his head. “Why would you even ask me some shit like that? Do you think I would cheat on you with a fuckin’ stripper?”
“Hell no!”
“I ain’t fucked with no other chicks since me and you then been together. What about you, though?” Supreme asked Choice as he pointed his finger at her. “You fuckin’ with ol’ dude or what?”
“I haven’t been with nobody but you ever. You already know that.”
“Wise is just my friend I’ve known him practically my whole life.”
“You didn’t think it was a good idea to tell me that you were going to meet up with this nigga?”
Choice wiped her nose with the back of her hand then shook her head. “I honestly didn’t think anything to it. Wise said that he wanted to speak to me and that was that.”
Supreme could hear the innocence behind Choice’s words. At times Choice could be so naïve. That was one thing he loved about her, life hadn’t destroyed her yet so she still carried her innocence.
“Wipe your face, ma. I’m sorry for coming at you like that.” Supreme said.
“You didn’t deserve that. You haven’t given me any reason to think negative of you in any way.”
“I’m really sorry for what I said earlier too,” Supreme said as he sat down on the bed in front of Choice. “You and me are together right?” Supreme asked her. Choice looked at him strange before nodding her head.
“Okay, so why do you feel the need to keep talkin�
�� to this nigga?”
“If I had a female friend from my childhood that obviously had feelings for me and continued to talk to her and hang out, would you think that was okay?”
Choice didn’t hesitate when she answered his question. “Hell nah!”
“My point exactly,” Supreme said as he looked Choice in her eyes. “I don’t want you talkin’ to that nigga no more.”
“The phone conversations and hanging out has to stop.”
“That’s not fair!”
It broke her heart to hear Supreme say that. Choice loved Wise but the love she had for Supreme was greater so whatever he asked of her would be done. “Okay, Supreme.”
Supreme scooted closer to Choice and wiped away her tears. “I hate when you cry.” Supreme kissed her under each of her eyes. “I hate arguing with you.”
“Me too. When you and I aren’t right I feel nauseous and I feel like I can’t breathe.”
Supreme covered Choice’s mouth with his own. He slipped his tongue inside of her mouth. She could taste the sweet liquor on his tongue and it aroused her. Choice sucked on his tongue like she was performing oral sex. She put her hand on the back of his head to pull him closer. Choice closed her eyes and enjoyed his taste.
Supreme pulled away from her and smiled before standing up and taking off his pants. A small smile was on Choice’s face as she bit the bottom of her lip. He was her king. She looked at him with so much love and affection.
“Remember earlier you asked me to kiss your ass,” Supreme asked with a smile.
Choice covered her mouth with her hand. Earlier she was so mad she’d forgotten she said that to him. Choice moved her hand from in front of her mouth and ran her fingers through her hair as she looked at him.
“Yeah I remember.”
“Well, that’s exactly what I’m about to do. So lie back and open up those legs.”
“Baby, what are you doing?”
“You’ll see.”
Supreme lifted up the covers and then climbed between her legs. He helped her out of her panties and shirt before returning to his rightful position. Choice closed her eyes tightly as she waited for his mouth to touch her bald juicy pussy but before doing so, he kissed each of her ass cheeks.
Supreme studied her pussy before taken a sniff. This was his first time performing oral sex. His mouth watered from the anticipation from what he was about to do. Supreme stuck his tongue out and licked her split from top to bottom a couple of times before focusing his attention on her pearl. His tongue was so soft and gently as it made circles around her pearl.
A soft moan escaped Choice’s mouth before he started French kissing her pussy. Choice squirmed around as she tried to break free.
“Get your ass back here,” Supreme spoke as he slid his hands under her ass to hold her in place.
“Mmm baby, please stop,” Choice moaned.
Supreme enjoyed the taste of her cum. She tasted delicious exquisite and delicate.
“Let all that shit out, baby,” Supreme said his cool breath tickled her pussy.
She held on to the sheet so tightly the whites of her knuckles started to show. The bottom half of her body shook as she squirted into Supreme’s mouth. Choice enjoyed the aftermath and bliss that followed shortly after the orgasm Supreme had given her. He had awakened something in her and now she was ready for round two.
Supreme’s dick was stiff as a board as he tried to get up but Choice pulled him back down on top of her. She put each of her hands on the side of his face as she kissed him deeply, tasting her own pussy on his mouth. For a brief second the pain that Bear had caused her crossed her mind but she pushed those thoughts away. Choice wanted to please Supreme just as much as he had pleased her.
“It’s your turn,” she said breaking their kiss. I want you to lie down and get comfortable.
“Why you lookin’ like that?” Supreme asked as he got comfortable.
“I’m about to return the favor,” Choice said.
Supreme watched her carefully. “You know what you’re doin’ down there?”
“No, but I’m about to learn today and you’re going to teach me.”
Supreme smiled. “Put your hand around the base of my dick. When you bob your head up and down, make sure you move your hand too and lots of spit.”
Choice used her tongue to go up and down his dick before taking him into her mouth. Her tongue moved all around his dick as she bobbed her head up and down on him like he was her favorite lollipop.
“I’m about to bust,” Supreme spoke low. A couple of seconds later Supreme was spilling his seed down her throat.
“Mmm,” Choice moaned as she licked him clean.
“Damn, I really needed that Supreme said with a smile.
“I bet you did,” Choice said before getting up and going to the bathroom. She returned with a warm face towel. She cleaned Supreme off then lay between his legs with her head resting on his chest.
“I love you, David.”
“I love you too, ma.”
“I wanna tell you something.”
“Okay, I’m listening.
“I saw Karen today in Overtown. She was standing right in front of the bodega on the corner.” Choice said. “So I pulled my car over and when I got out, I called her name. She ran off when she realized it was me. I tried to catch her but I couldn’t.”
It was silent for a few moments then Supreme spoke. “I’m sorry you had to go through that today. Why didn’t you call me?”
“It was right after the incident with Wise.” Choice said. “You were so mad at me that I just thought it would be best if I leave you alone.”
“If we’re ever having a disagreement about anything, it doesn’t matter what it is, you can still come to me.
“Well, I want you to find her. When you do, take her to Da Cage.”
“I wanna ask her a few questions.” Choice said.
“Don’t worry, ma. I’ll make that happen. I got you.”
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Before Choice and Ashley went to Adventure Mall, Choice decided to go visit Mr. Charlie. The last time she’d seen him was at Kyree’s funeral over two months ago. She missed Mr. Charlie so much and she couldn’t wait to see him. When Choice pulled up to the bodega, a couple of dudes were standing in front but it wasn’t too bad. She and Ashley got out of the car and walked into Mr. Charlie’s.
“Hey Mr. Charlie,” Choice said as she waved at him.
“Hey Choice,” Mr. Charlie said as he came from behind the counter to give her a hug. “How are you holding up?”
“I’ve been okay these past few days. Just takin’ it one day at a time. Have you seen my mom around here lately?”
“She stopped by a couple of days ago for some money.”
“And you gave her some?” Choice asked as her voice raised an octave.
“Of course I did. Your mother is a good person. She just got caught up with the wrong people.”
Choice sighed deeply. “Well, call me if you see her again but don’t let her know.”
Mr. Charlie looked at her strangely but nodded his head. “Yeah okay. I can do that.”
“Good,” Choice said as she smiled warmly at him. “Okay Mr. Charlie, we’re about to go. I’ll try to stop by every day to see you since you’ve been acting like a stranger lately. No phone calls or nothin’.”
“I’m sorry. I’ve just been trying to give you some space.”
“But why?” Choice asked as she looked at him oddly. “I don’t need any space from you.”
Mr. Charlie nodded his head. “Well, in that case, I’ll try to call a little more.”
“Good, I would love that. I didn’t know what we would’ve done if we didn’t have you. All the extra money and free dinners you gave me helped a lot and I’ll forever be grateful,” Choice said. “Okay, Mr. Charlie, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Choice said as she made her way to the door.

Supreme was sitting on the porch at one of his trap houses talking
shit with some of his little soldiers.
“It’s hot ass fuck out here,” Willie said as he wiped his face with the wet towel on top of his head. “Look at what that fiend got on,” Willie said as he pointed out the fiend wearing a dirty gray sweatsuit.
Supreme recognized the fiend immediately. It was Karen.
She must be lookin’ for some rocks, Supreme thought.
“Yo Willie, go get her,” Supreme said.
“You sure? She don’t even look like she got any money.”
Supreme looked at him without saying anything.
“Okay, I’ll go get her.” Willie pouted as he walked out of the fence and towards Karen.
Karen didn’t even recognize Supreme as she approached the trap house.
“What you tryin’ to cop?” Supreme asked.
He went into his pants pocket like he was about to pull something out. Supreme was just fucking around. He didn’t carry any drugs on him but he had to make her think that he did. Karen went inside her pocket and pulled out a wrinkled up one-dollar bill and some change. Willie had an I told you so look on his face as he shook his head.
“You want me to get rid of her? She stinks.”
“Nah, I got her. I’ll take care of you. Just take a ride with me real quick.”
“I can do that,” Karen said with a smile on her face.
Supreme gave Willie some dap then led Karen to his truck.
“I’m about to take you to the main trap house to get what you need,” Supreme said once they were in his truck.
Supreme clenched his jaw when he thought about the way he’d found Kyree. He wasn’t sure if Karen had anything to do with Kyree’s death but he didn’t care. Karen was her mother. She should’ve been watching her daughter better.
“You don’t remember who I am, do you?” Supreme asked.
