I turned toward Lawe, refusing to believe he was choosing sides.
“Nigga, you and—”
“Who?” Kleu stood to her feet. “Him and who? Don’t play with me, Makai. Because he and I will jump you.”
“Sure the fuck will,” Lawe confirmed.
“Ya feet big like a nigga. I’m not going to even make you stand on that. You look like you can fight. Speaking of which, Kleu, how tall yo’ momma? That shit ridiculous.”
“Fuck you, Makai,” she hissed, sitting back down in her seat.
“Who invited this nigga anyway?” Lawe looked around, trying to find out. “It’s a couple’s trip. This nigga ain’t got nobody, never had nobody, and ain’t gon’ ever have nobody.”
“I thought the same thing about you, player. Was starting to wonder if you were taking the pip—”
“Chill with that shit,” Milo warned.
“Taking what, my nigga?” Lawe encouraged me to continue.
Instead, I burst into laughter.
“I really can’t stand this nigga,” Milo groaned, turning around and heading back to his seat.
“He invited himself,” Malachi spoke, finally. “Unfortunately, he’s about to get left behind.”
“No the fuck I’m not.”
“If you’re going to be causing turmoil, then you are, Makai,” he reiterated.
“I promise I’m going to be on my best behavior,” I exaggerated.
The entire plane protested. Some with groans and others with sniggers.
“Okay, that was a lie, but still. Don’t leave me. I got to run do something really quick.”
“I’m leaving you,” Malachi stated as a matter of fact.
“Bet. Call and tell y’all kids y’all love them then ’cause ain’t nobody surviving the crash after I shoot this bitch down from the sky.”
I’d made my point and there was no need to stick around to make sure it got across. If they had the sense that God gave them, then I knew the plane would still be on the ground when I returned. I left my bag at the top of the steps to assure them all I’d be back.
I slid back into my ride and floored the gas, burning rubber off the lot. It wasn’t until I was on Canton, ready to turn on Asher that I began obeying the speed limits the city officials had agreed upon. I pulled into the first available spot, closest to my destination, and hopped out. My chains bounced with each step I made, crashing into each other. With my right hand, I squeezed the butt of my Glock, unsure of what I was walking into, but not giving a fuck, either.

My left knuckles beat against the door. After a long stint of knocking, I stepped back and pressed my back against the brick beside the door I had stood in front of. I watched my surroundings, making sure nothing was out of the ordinary or even the slightest bit suspicious. The sound of the locks turning grasped my undivided attention and held it until the door opened.
Like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to her beauty, again. Once, twice, and a third time, my heart skipped a beat. After months of her on my dome, she was in my space.
Mommas, my inner monologue called out.
Soft lips, baby hairs, a bun, and the prettiest face greeted me with sleepy eyes.
