“Another one bites the dust.” Quan jested, shaking his head.
“Niggas gotta grow up at some point. I don’t even know what it is about her bald head ass, but Idoknow I ain’t letting her go.”
“You sound like one of Nyx’s songs. I don’t like it.”
“Nah, I know what it is. That nigga sprung off pussy.”
“Kalil, you sound ‘bout dumb as them thick ass eyebrows look. As good as it is, I could never be sprung off pussy alone because I could hit a different bitch every day if I wanted to. She like my best friend though. Like I said, I can’t explain it.”
“Her lil’ ass look like she be giving you the business too.”
“Shiiid, that’s probably what she’d like people to believe, but hell nah.”
“Quan, you a Garett, so you wouldn’t understand. It’s a Zaman thing.”
“Fuck outta here. Every time I drop dick off in a hoe, I leave her slumped.”
“Shit ain’t the same when it’s just a bunch of random broads though,” Kas interjected. “Ten of the baddest bitches couldn’t compare to the one you love.”
Quan and Kalil sat quiet, just staring at Kas for several moments.
“Who the hell are you?” Kalil questioned.
“Because what the fuck? Give me my fucking blunt back, nigga, with that poetic shit you talking.”
“Talk shit now, but when y’all get back to that condo with only each other for company, shit won’t be funny then.”
“You and Onyx swear y’all the only ones with options. I get hoes, and you know they love Kalil light bright ass.”
“I could be black as night and still pull bitches, fuck you mean?”
“All the bitches except that married broad you be stalking.”
“Londyn wants me too. I just think she scared of her psycho ass husband.”
“Y’all can discuss the number of bitches y’all do or don’t have at yo own shit. I’ll hit y’all niggas up tomorrow.”
“Kalil, he trying to put us out so he can go cuddle and shit.”
“That’s because he tender just like his brother.”
“Call me what y’all want. Y’all heard what my brother said though, gone on before he come back.”
Kalil and Quan gathered their things, saying their goodbyes and assured they’d be back the next day. Kas ushered them to the door, setting all the alarms and turning off the exterior lights in the process. Venturing back through the house, he foundYanna perched atop the kitchen counter eating from a bowl of pineapples. She had the folders Onyx gave her open and the papers spread around. The pants she’d worn to the fair were thrown across a dining chair, because Yanna hated having on pants for too long.
“What you doing?”
“Looking through this stuff. I suspected Onyx was out of his mind back when he tried to coax my cousin into being his best kept secret. Going through this checklist pretty much confirms that he is.”
“It’s a lot?”
“Hell yea. Way too much to complete in the timeframe I have to get it done. Little does he know he’s about to raise my pay already.”
“Little do you know, he ain’t doing that shit. You can finish this tomorrow though. I’ll help you.”
“Why can’t I do it now?”
“Because,” Kas started, trailing kisses along Yanna’s shoulders. “I made that pussy a promise, and you know I’mma nigga that likes to keep my word.”
