“Man, fuck allat. You my woman. If I got it, so do you. You said you gon’ be riding with me, even when them wheels go flat. I believe that shit with my soul. So, yeah. If you wanna get all this pretty ass hair wet, I got’chu Tuesday when them shops open.”
She smiled and slid her arms around my neck for a hug. I kissed her lips, and she practically skipped off. Before she could get too far away, she said, “Sasha said Corben and Yonkers are having a ball!”
I chuckled. Her and that damn dog. She treated that dog like he was human. He might as well had been our son at this point. He was a good dog. I had to lay the fucking law down though. She was trying to put the dog in bed with us, and that was a swift hell naw.
Thankfully, there had been no developments on the murder cases, so it looked like I would be in the clear on that. When I walked back over to my seat, Jungle was on the phone. When I heard a dog barking from his phone, he glanced at me. “Y’all gon’ have to teach that damn dog to only speak when spoken to.”
I chuckled. He was on the phone with Sasha. When he went back to his call, all the women walked back outside. Shit! All talking ceased as we watched our women head to the pool. Voicing our sentiments, Ali said, “We got the finest women in the fucking world.”
After that, we all started cat calling and whistling. Every last one of their cheeks were red. They were blushing so hard. Shy stood from his seat and grabbed Brittany’s hand, leading her back inside the house. I already knew what that shit meant. He had an advantage since we were at his house. Ali said, “He better be glad I gotta hold baby girl. I would have brought Riley’s ass to another bedroom without him seeing us.”
Ali’s baby had a slight cold, so Riley didn’t want her to get in the water. All the other babies that weren’t old enough to be in the playroom were with their mothers. Jericho chuckled. “Shiiiid, I wish. Whitney said sex has been painful. A brother is on restriction. It’s been this way for two months.”
“Damn,” Chad said. “I’m glad we’re done. Lexi said to hell with trying to go for a daughter. Just her luck, she’d end up with another hardheaded ass nigga.”
I chuckled as I watched Keondra. That body in that bikini was something serious. I was so tempted to take her to the car and wear that pussy out. She glanced back at me and winked. My dick was attempting to rise to the occasion, so I brought my attention to Jungle. He had a frown on his face. Just as I was about to ask what was up, he enlightened everyone.
“So, Sasha said the inspector tryna hold us up, saying the cement slab ain’t thick enough and that the elevation ain’t high enough. Muthafucka tryna fuck with my shit. They gon’ hear from me first thing Monday morning. Secondly, if he right, some-fucking-body finna run me my money.”
I chuckled. “It feel weird as fuck to hear you complaining about shit like that. Usually, it was about a nigga tryna get over or runners that weren’t selling shit fast enough. It done been over two years, and I’m still not used to it.”
Seneca nodded. “Hell yeah. I thought Jungle would be running that shit until he couldn’t.”
“Like we talked about two weeks ago, being around these legit niggas, not Shy’s criminal ass but the other Berottes, influenced me more than I thought they were.”
Everybody laughed as Shy and Brittany rejoined us. When Brittany went to the pool, Chad said, “Nice of you to rejoin us, minute-man.”
I almost fucking choked on my beer. “That’s the definition of a quickie, muthafucka. Fuck you.”
I laughed even more. These niggas were a trip. For the first time, I was a part of a crew that I could relax around. I’d never had that, except with Jungle’s family. Me being around this many niggas at once, simply because I wanted to be, was unheard of. Whenever I had to be around that many for a meeting, I always stood with my back to the wall. I didn’t trust none of those niggas. They could all turn on a nigga in an instant. I surely had no desire to befriend a nigga I could possibly have to kill later.
I looked around at the seven of them and was grateful for the brotherhood we’d established. They had my back at all costs, and I had theirs, even if the shit was unnecessary. They would have my loyalty for life, along with their women. I would be what my dad was to Keondra’s family if I ever had to be. I was my brother’s keeper, and so were they.
“Why that bitch keep staring at us?” Keondra asked with a mean ass scowl on her face.
Who?” I asked, looking around.
When I saw Farrah, my face grew hard. “A chick I fucked around with that I had to block recently.”
Keondra nodded repeatedly. Farrah was gon’ mess around and get fucked up. Unlike Ali, I had no issue handling that shit either. I didn’t offer any more details about her as we walked around Target, getting shit Keondra needed and a lot of shit she didn’t need. “I’m gon’ approach her if I catch her looking again.”
“I don’t have a problem with that. It will be better than me approaching her.”
Kee glanced up at me and kept pushing her basket. When we got to the hair supplies and she’d gotten her Cantu products, she threw that shit in the basket and walked the fuck off. I quickly grabbed the handle of the cart and followed her to see her right in Farrah’s face.
When I got close, I heard her say, “I don’t give a fuck what he put on you in the past, but that’s my dick now. Play with something safe.”
Farrah stood there wide eyed like Keke had just popped her in the damn mouth. I wanted to chuckle, but when Farrah said, “I ain’t safe either, bitch. I suggest you research who you running up on.”
Keke turned around, but I beat her to Farrah. “I suggest you take your own advice. After I repeatedly told you to go live your life, you choose to keep fucking with me. People have disappeared for less. Secondly, this is my woman. Calling her a bitch is a major infraction. Your best bet is to get the fuck out of here before you don’t. I don’t have the slightest problem handling a disrespectful ho.”
She stared at me, looking like she wanted to cry. Bitches were crazy as fuck these days and didn’t know when they were in danger. She had better heed my warning before she ended up as fertilizer in somebody’s yard. I grabbed Keondra’s hand and could feel it tremble. Turning to her, I said, “I apologize. This gon’ be my last time putting her in her place and expecting her to comply. Next time, her place gon’ be a fucking cemetery.”
“Fuck that. I’m gon’ catch that bitch outside.”
My eyebrows lifted. “Baby, you have a session in two hours.”
“Fuck that session,” she said, glancing back at Farrah.
