Jungle slowly shook his head as Fawn led the way. When we reached the other two ladies, she said, “This is Jungle’s wife, Chelsea, who is pregnant a-fucking-gain!”
Chelsea rolled her eyes and shook our outstretched hands. She looked to be about my age. “Nice to meet the two of you,” she said.
We exchanged pleasantries with her and Amiko and were about to engage in conversation until “Water” by Tyla came on. The entire club went up as I threw my hand in the air and made my ass bounce like they did in the video. Fawn’s eyebrows lifted. “Oh, hell yeah! Let’s get this popping!”
I laughed and so did Sasha. Before I knew it, we were all bouncing our asses and having an amazing time. When I felt a presence behind me, I didn’t bother looking. Niggas always sought me out when I graced Pilar’s with my presence. It usually happened faster, though, because I was in the general population. His hand slid around me, contrasting against my white high-waisted pants, awfully close to the jackpot. I frowned and was about to turn around until he said in my ear, “Twice in one day. Maybe you should give this body what it needs.”
I practically froze. I knew it was Joel. Fawn and Amiko’s eyebrows shot up once again. I wasn’t sure what that was about until Fawn said, “Vegas, I sure hope you know Keondra like that, or you about to get fucked up in here.”
I turned around slowly and watched him lick his lips as he scanned me from head to toe, lingering on my cleavage. The goosebumps invaded my skin as I stared into his eyes. After a moment, he averted his gaze, grabbed my hand, and spun me back around. He couldn’t take me staring into his eyes that way, and I knew that.
I began winding my ass against him, then lifted my hand to the back of his head. He slid his fingertips down my arm and the side of my breast to my exposed skin. I only wore a beige-colored bustier. When his lips graced my neck, I closed my eyes and moaned. Thankfully, no one could hear that shit. I was more than sure he did though. If he didn’t hear it, he definitely knew I’d emitted some type of sound from the vibration against his lips.
I could feel his dick against my ass, and I knew that the stand-off I had going would end in a cease fire tonight. Spinning back around to stare at him, I could see how low his eyes were. He was fucked up. Maybe that was the look of shock on Fawn’s and Amiko’s faces. They’d never seen him this way with a woman.
“What are you doing here?” I asked after leaning in.
His lips graced my ear as he said, “Jungle is my best friend. We grew up as brothers. What are you doing here?”
“My sister Sasha is in business with him.”
He pulled away from me as he frowned. “Sister? Yonkers was your pops?”
I looked away from him for a moment. “Yeah. That was my daddy.”
“My dad was Joshua. He used to go to your people’s house all the time.”
My lips parted. I didn’t remember Joshua ever bringing his son with him to our house. I backed away slightly then walked over to a couch to have a seat. This was unbelievable. Joel sat next to me and grabbed my hand. “I never went inside. He always made me stay in the car, because he didn’t want to make y’all feel uncomfortable. He said it was a house full of women.”
I glanced up at him. “So you remember my daddy?”
“Yeah. You don’t?”
“Vaguely. I was only six or so when he was killed in the streets. Ice sent your dad to take care of us. Once your dad was killed, Ice came a couple of times, but he always sent people to check on us. When he died, everything stopped.”
“Damn. Fawn didn’t know. I didn’t know why my dad was going over there. Fawn ran shit for a lil while. I can imagine Jungle didn’t know either. Yonkers was a good dude.”
“From what I can remember, Yusef was a good father. I didn’t know him as Yonkers. He didn’t allow Yonkers to come into our home.”
He nodded then leaned back, pulling me with him. Lifting his hand, he pulled my hair. “I like your hair like this.”
I’d worn my hair in its natural state. It was big and adorned small, tight curls. “More than the braids or the wig I wore earlier?”
“Mm hmm.”
I nodded slightly. I was in my feelings now. Jungle had probably been talking about Sasha and how she got involved in the business, so Joel knew exactly who I was. I missed my dad, or maybe I missed the idea of having a dad. However, I knew that he had to know how I felt since his dad was gone too. The game was unforgiving as hell and like God, was no respecter of persons.
Since Jungle was no longer in the game, I could only assume that Vegas was out too. Instead of assuming, I decided to ask. “So, where are you in the Patterson empire?”
“I was Jungle’s righthand and Fawn’s bodyguard when she was running shit. That shit is over and done with… has been for about two years now. Why? You don’t fuck with street niggas?”
I leaned against him and slid my hand up his chest to his beard. When my fingers went through it, I said, “Oh contraire, Joel. They are my preference.”
He grabbed my hand as he frowned. “I thought I told you to call me Vegas.”
I rolled my eyes and got up to go join my sister until he pulled me back down, landing me on his lap. I stared at him, and his gaze didn’t waver. I leaned in and kissed his lips. He quickly pulled away and said, “Gone, man.”
I smirked then stood in front of him for a moment. I wanted to straddle him so bad. He refused to look at me. “Fine, nigga.”
