She busied herself on the phone while I made a few turns to get us closer to a theater so that she could see whatever she was trying to see. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been to see a movie. We bootlegged almost everything as kids. As an adult, it never crossed my mind.
“The next one starts in an hour,” she articulated, straightening her back so that her voice projected over the music.
“Bet. You want to wait there or what?”
“Yes, because I have something I want you to look at.”
“What is it?” I wondered.
“The one truck that I like most. It’s not in Berkeley but it has zero miles on it.”
I understood why she wasn’t interested in the dealership idea. She already had a truck in mind.
“You want it shipped?”
“Yes. It’s all a very pretty shade of white with little sprinkles meshed into the paint. Everything inside is the prettiest shade of nude. It’s loaded with so much.”
“See what they need from you to get the process started.”
“Makai—” She sniggered, leaning closer to me.
That could only mean one thing. She already had some shit in motion.
“I’ve already been approved. I just wanted to make sure I could use the card for the down payment. That’s why I asked about the limit.”
“Bet. Don’t put shit down. We don’t pay notes, baby. We pay for the whole thang. Give me the link and I’ll make sure it’s in your cubby by nightfall tomorrow.”
“Awww. You’re going to make me cry.”
“Don’t do that shit, Mommas. It’s the only time you look ugly.”
“Really, Makai?”
“Real shit. The first time I seen that shit, I was like, please stop. Please stop that shit. It’s not a good look for you.”
“I don’t even know why I try with you sometimes.”
“Because you love a nigga and his honesty,” I reminded her. “Now send me the link to that truck. I can put something in motion while we wait for the movie to start.”
Glacier was ecstatic to hand me her cell the second I was settled into a parking spot. To my surprise, she’d done her homework and chosen a sick-ass G 63. After further inspection on my end, I forwarded the link to my phone and then to my people from there.
Have this at the crib by nightfall tomorrow.
Because the location of my home was anonymous, the vehicle would be delivered to Pops' house.
“So now we wait.” Glacier reclined her seat slightly.
“Yeah. We have about forty-five minutes. What’s on your mind, Kiwi?”
From the way she peered in my direction, I knew there was something floating in that noggin of hers.
“Well, I was thinking that maybe the dogs cou—”
“No.” I laughed, shaking my head because I already knew where this was going.
“You haven’t even let me finish.”
“Because them niggas too big to be anywhere other than where they’re at. Plus, I can’t even touch you when they’re around without them tripping. That’s part of the reason I got the spot, to have you to myself, away from them niggas.”
