“On the way. You looking real spiffy and shit. Where the fuck you been?” I asked extending the blunt in his direction. He could have it. I was already high as a fuckin’ giraffes’ ass.
“Man, Ma Dukes wanted me to go with her to this damn job interview but come to find out it was for me the whole time. I should’ve known something was up when she said, ‘Dress appropriately, Tevin.’ I swear she set me up.”
“Sound like it to me. I got some shit for y’all boys. I need them to hurry up and fall through.”
“Let me check they lo. I think them boys together. I know Ace said something earlier ‘bout them running somewhere to meet some nigga.”
I was a lil’ throwed by them two venturing off together finding side quests and shit. I was even more throwed that it was them two and not TJ and Hulk. Yeah, we were a crew, but Ace was my left hand and TJ was Hulk’s right. This shit lowkey had my curiosity running loose.What the fuck was them two stupid muthafuckas up to?
“Cool. I see it,” I chuckled. I wasn’t pleased in the slightest but them were two grown ass men. I couldn’t control shit they had going on. “Check that lo and let me know wassup.”
He did like he was told and said, “Oh, they coming through the door right now.”
My head turned to the entrance, and they walked in like shit was sweet. Ace always wore a smile but that damn Hulk had one stretched from ear to ear. It was unusual of him, so a nigga felt uneasy ‘bout him lowkey. When a grumpy muthafucka like him came in like a Chesire cat on a random ass Wednesday, my antennas were up, and I was on high alert.
“What it do? What it doooo?” Ace shouted.
“Where the hell y’all been?” I questioned. Ace was gon’ keep it a buck but something told me Hulk was ready to lie through them buttered crooked ass teeth of his.
“Shit, Hulk met up with?—”
“I had to go check a play right quick,” Hulk commented.
“Nah, let him finish. He met up with who, Ace?” I pushed.
“Some nigga that supposed to?—”
“That’s my business until I make it yours, nigga. Damn. Why the fuck you on my goddamn nuts like that? You questioning where the fuck a nigga be like I ain’t a grown ass man. The fuck wrong with you,” he said interjecting for the second time.
I cocked my head to the side as a grimacing smile plastered across my face. He must’ve thought I was one of them punk pussy ass bums he be bossing around. I wasn’t scared of him or anybody he had stepping behind him. He had to know I wasn’t gon’ allow that, not from no nigga who didn’t know how to hustle without a fuckin’ blueprint being laid out for him.
Patience was a fuckin’ virtue. I waited until that nigga was in reach before I stood and hit him in his shit. I wasn’t too fond of being disrespected by a fuck ass soul. That put him on his ass with a busted lip. He was dark but he could still be beaten black and blue and left leaking. My smirk had yet to fall.
Hulk hopped up ready to retaliate but Ace and TJ held him back. If they had any sense, they’d let that nigga go. He needed to release whatever he was feeling ‘cause we still had a job to do afterward. He wanted his lick back so by all means, run the fuck up!
“Aye, y’all brothers!” TJ yelled.
“Man, hell nah. Stop this fuck shit!” Ace shouted.
Poor hulk must’ve felt embarrassed. Lil’ nigga pulled out his .9mm and aimed it right at my face.I know that shit right.I was just as quick as he was. Tamera was out and at his dome seconds later. Hulk knew once the twins were pulled it was only up fromthere. He pulled that shit, so I hope he was prepared for the aftermath.
“Oh yeah, I love when a nigga on this type of timing. Make me take it there, so I can end yo’ snake ass,” I chimed in a calming tone.
“Black, chill the fuck out. Y’all brothers!” TJ reiterated.
“I’m an only child,” I said still cool as a fan and locked on my target.
“Who the fuck a snake though? Hulk? Man, ain’t no way. He been riding with us since day one. Why you trippin’ today all of a sudden?” Ace was gon’ catch it all even if he was the goofiest one out the crew.
“Damn, Hulk. I know you said this nigga ain’t shit to be played with but this lil’ nigga move like a killa for real.” My gaze shifted to the unfamiliar nigga walking through my fuckin’ spot like he was welcomed.
I wasn’t a nigga who liked surprises. I pulled Tia and aimed her in his direction. I didn’t call for a visit not one time. This was Hulk’s doing and couldn’t nobody tell me different. The nigga he went to meet was him. Perplexed as fuck as to how Hulk thought bringing muthafuckas to a place where we conducted business was the right fuckin’ move.
The nigga threw his hands up as he continued to close the gap between us. He wasn’t scared or cautious at all. He seemed like he was only performing to please me. The smirk that never fell was rubbing me the wrong way. It wasn’t shit genuine ‘bout him. I sensed that shit from a mile away.
“Don’t play with me. I’ll put you to rest way before yo’ bedtime nigga,” I said gripping my peace tighter. Tia’s trigger was on the way to getting pulled and he didn’t even know it.
“Woo!I like you!” he shouted.
