I walked away and joined Sasha, Fawn, and Amiko. Chelsea was sitting on Jungle’s lap having a make out session. That was the shit I wanted. I stared at them for a while until Sasha cleared her throat. I turned to her, noticing Fawn and Amiko were dancing in front of the glass. “How do you know him?”
“I met him in Puerto Rico two years ago. I just found out that he knew Daddy. His dad was Joshua.”
Her eyebrows lifted. “Damn. Really? He’s with Jungle more often than not. So that’s why. They are practically family. What’s his name again?”
I glanced over at him to see him down a drink and laugh with another nigga. “Vegas.”
THREE
VEGAS
What were the fucking odds? I would have never guessed Keondra was this close to my world. Her father was a ruthless ass nigga. He was in what we called Ice’s firing squad. There were about six of them that he depended heavily on: Yonkers, Gutta, my pops, Guap, Mo, and Shark. Those six could handle shit without instruction. Although Guap had left for Laredo, he and Ice remained close. Guap was Law and Smoke’s father. The families merged when Law married Fawn.
I was high as hell and allowed Keondra to do way too much tonight. Had I known she was Yonker’s daughter, I would have stayed sober. Jungle flopped next to me and said, “Keondra looks familiar as fuck. I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
“In Puerto Rico two years ago.”
He frowned slightly, and when the realization hit him, he lifted his brows. “Oh fuck! She was this close, right here in Houston, and Yonker’s daughter, and you had to meet her way in Puerto Rico? Daaaamn!”
I took a pull from my blunt as Jungle said, “Watchful Eyes in this muthafucka!”
I looked over and saw Ali, Jericho, Chad, Shy, Rondo, Dinalee, and Seneca enter VIP. Jamel, Sandrene, and Arrow had come along as well. I didn’t even get up to greet anybody. Keondra had me fucked up. She was over there dancing like I wasn’t fazing her ass in the least. When I saw her ass bouncing earlier, I damn near tripped over my tongue trying to get to her. I couldn’t forget the way that ass moved if I tried to.
It was like a transference of energy happened. She was the one in her feelings a minute ago. Now, here I was in my fucking element and couldn’t function. “Yo, what’s up?”
I looked up to see Jericho, so I stood and slapped his hand. Ali was right next to him, so I slapped his hand too. “What got’chu in yo’ fucking feelings, nigga?” Ali asked.
“That black Barbie doll over there in the white pants got me fucked up. That’s okay though. I’m finna drink me some of this Henn and finish off this blunt and call it night.”
Jericho chuckled. “She’s beautiful though. She looks like a model. What does she do?”
“Hell if I know. We ain’t got to that.”
I walked away and went to tell the barmaid what I wanted then took another pull from my blunt. When she brought the drink back, I downed that shit then made my way to everyone else, slapping hands, telling them hello and bye all at the same time. Once I got to Jungle, he frowned. “Nigga, you leaving?”
“Yeah.”
“No, you ain’t. Yo’ ass fucked up. Give me yo’ keys.”
“Nigga, you ain’t my boss no more.”
He gave me a serious look, making me pull my keys right from my pocket. I dropped them in his hand and walked out of our area and went across the way. It was still VIP, but our area was exclusive. It was where Smoke and his people partied… like the VIP area of VIP. I pulled my phone from my pocket and pulled up a game to play. There was no way I would have let a woman affect me like this had I been sober.
I saw Jungle glance out, scanning the area, I supposed looking to see where I went. When he saw me, he opened the door wider, and Keondra walked out of it. He pointed her in my direction. I was gonna cuss his ass out after this. When she got to me, she asked, “You wanna get out of here?”
I rolled my eyes and went back to my phone. She sat next to me and said, “That’s the only way you’ll get home.”
I looked over at her to see she had my fucking keys. Jungle was on some fuck shit tonight. I reached for them, and she snatched them away from me. “I will drive you home and get an Uber back. Take it or leave it.”
“Somebody else can do that shit. It ain’t gotta be you.”
“So, somebody else can fuck you too? Got it.”
She stood to walk away, and I pulled her back down roughly. She frowned at me, but not angrily. Her frown was more of a confused one. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Something about her had me wanting everything she had to offer, but my mind didn’t know how to accept any of it. “Let’s go.”
She nodded then stood from the couch. As I walked away, she slid her hand in mine, allowing me to lead her to my ride. When we got to it, she said, “This is nice.”
“Mm hmm.”
