“Nigga, I was wondering why you wanna marry a bitch who eats dick for a living,” Shakur snorted. I frowned, wondering how he knew that shit if he wasn’t fucking with The Society like that until it clicked.
“She gave you head?”
“Yep,” he answered with a pop sound. “Sony’s been trying to recruit me for years, and she thought sucking my dick was gonnachange my mind. I let her do it a few times and still told them no. Shit was mad trash anyway.”
I hollered laughing. This nigga was funny as hell.
“I ain’t ever fuck her though,” he said, hands up in mock surrender.
I shrugged. “That’s cool. Neither have I, and she hasn’t sucked my dick before either, so I guess that makes her your bitch and not mine.”
Ocean hadn’t even seen my dick before. I knew better.
Shakur’s mouth fell, and I laughed.
“All jokes aside, my sister likes you, and Sony has his eyes on her. I know you care about her too, but can you protect her?”
He asked the million-dollar question. A question I didn’t have an answer to.
My phone started ringing, and I wasn’t even surprised to see that it was Sincere again.
Don’t that nigga sleep,I thought, knowing it was two in the morning, and he was still up hounding me. But then a thought came to me, and I lifted my head to look at Shakur.
“There’s only one way,” I said.
He looked at me, smirked, and said, “I already know what you gonna say.”
My only hope was that I wasn’t making a mistake!
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
KAIRI MOORE
A FEW NIGHTS LATER
Ilooked around at the packed club and sighed. My anxiety was at an all-time high. I couldn’t relax because of Sony. It was getting to the point where I wanted to quit my job. I loved my job and loved the people I worked with, but it seemed as though drama just kept following me even here. There was no escaping it.
It hurt my heart because how else was I supposed to make money? I didn’t want my daddy or my brother looking after me, and it wasn’t like I had a man who could help me either. On top of that, I couldn’t even tell anyone what was happening. I tried so many times. Silently crying out for help, but the words just wouldn’t form past my lips. The fear of looking weak or becoming a burden that they would have to look after. I didn’t want that, but I felt trapped. Trapped in my own mind and body.
Havoc being here a few nights ago made me feel more secure, but I couldn’t even tell him about it either. My brother and dad made it very clear that I wasn’t to entangle myself with Havoc any more than I already had.
I had nobody, and unfortunately, Sony knew it too, so the best thing I could do was leave this job.
It was no longer a place of release for me. It was now the very thing holding me in a state of fear. Every day I came here, I never knew if it was going to be the night that Sony finally made good on his threats and hurt me.
He was no longer hiding his interactions with me. When he was here a few nights ago, I didn’t expect him to approach me at the bar in front of his friends. I’d given myself a false sense of hope, believing he would stop after being caught by River, but he was right back at it as if he didn’t care. Either he managed to lie his way out of that one, or he truly didn’t give a fuck anymore. And that scared me more than anything.
Sparkle was working on another plan for getting him out of the way, but even then, I didn’t know if I had the courage to even do it again after it failed the first time.
No, the best thing for me to do was leave, and hopefully, I wouldn’t run into Sony again.
Since it was relatively quiet, I decided to take that moment to use the restroom. On my way, I thought about texting Mr. Blair, letting him know that tonight would be my last night here.
Once I was finished, I stood at the sink washing my hands, and someone stepped inside. I lifted my head and saw Ocean in the mirror’s reflection.
Why was someone always coming here for me!
I didn’t have to ask; the look on her face told me that I was the person she was looking for. I couldn’t remember the last time I saw Ocean here, so that further let me know that she came just for me.
