Page 45 of It’s The Dawg In Him For Me

“Nigga, you know you don’t have to test me. I stay ready.”

Dre agreed as we sat down. “Facts, my nigga.”

I turned my game back on as he lit his blunt.

“What you doin’ here?” I asked him.

“I came through to talk business,” he said as he exhaled smoke. “You told me to put together a team, right?”

I nodded. “Yeah, you found some niggas?”

“Our day ones, nigga,” he said low. “Flip, Bando, and Blaze.”

I smiled. “My niggas! They are the truth.”

Dre nodded. “Yeah, I just talked to Flip. That nigga lost his job at the college for fuckin’ with the dean, then you know Bando and Blaze get out in two days.”

“I forgot about that shit. They havin’ a party for them, right?”

“Yeah, it’s goin’ up in the city that night. I was thinkin’ we lock in with them. We already know Flip can run the guns, and them twins nasty in the streets.”

I agreed. “Us in the streets is a dirty combo. Niggas would be scared to make a move.”

“And that’s what the fuck we want, have all the money for ourselves.”

“I like that. The take ova.”

“The mothafuckin’ take ova that’s needed,” Dre added.

“Put that shit together, and when everything is a go, I will make moves.”

Dre went on talking about what he wanted to set up when I paused the game to check my phone. Nylah still hadn’t hit me back, and I sent her ass another message.

“You good?” Dre asked.

I exhaled. “Yeah, getting pissed tho. Nylah not hittin’ me back.”

Dre laughed. “For what? What did you do?”

I shrugged as I started the game back up. “I don’t even know. The date went good like I said. I was tryna lock in with her for real, and she ghosted me.”

“Damn, nigga, what the fuck you gonna do about that?”

I laughed. “Man, you already know, I’ma show her why you don’t ghost me.”

“Man, don’t get locked up ova some pussy.”

“Neva that. But she gonna know I'm not the nigga you play with.”

Dre sucked his teeth. “Just go get another bitch.”

“I will until she come around, but I want her.”

Dre laughed. “Dog-ass nigga. Tell me this. What’s the move for the night? I know you ain’t finna sit up in the crib.”

“Man, fuck that,” Dre said. “My nigga Sosa got a dog fight goin’ on tonight. That shit usually live, and the bitches out there be fine too.”

I nodded. “Yeahh… they do. Let's slide through later, I’ma finish on 2K first.”
