"That muthafucka needs to administer pills to her own-damn-self. We, just like you and Toya, only fucked. It was neva gon' be shit serious, but she was always trying to make it more. Not too long ago, I bumped into this beautiful-ass chick at the hospital she works at while I was taking Emily some food that she begged me to bring. Even with puffy eyes from her crying, she was fucking gorgeous. Emily came around corna', tryin' to check me, then came at ol'girl like I was her nigga. I'on even know who shawty was. She just bumped into me and spilled her coffee. She started going on about how her father just had a heart attack and how her nigga ain't checked on her. I was invested like amuthafucka in her story though, except the nigga part 'cause I didn't give a fuck."

"That's 'cause she was pretty. If she were ugly, you would have popped her ass on the top of the head for spilling coffee on you."

Brooklyn was the laid-back, lowkey one out of Zoo and me but that nigga had a mean streak like no other.

"You already know I would have. Brianna, though..." This nigga paused like he was having aThat's So Ravenvision about her ass. "... She was too beautiful to be disrespected. I started to go back to the hospital, put a gun to the security head and make his ass run the tape back. I needed as much info about shawty as I could get."

"You went from, ‘I'on even know shawty’, to remembering that her name is Brianna."

"Bruh, she's tall but still shorter than me. Even in the leggings and oversized Biggie T-shirt she had on, I could tell she had a lil' body on her. She wasn't up there trying to look good and still had all my attention, even with her hair tied up. That allowed me to see her raw beauty. She had a nigga dick jumping, ready to knock her lil' fine ass down."

"Maan, stop it." I laughed while tying up my shoes.

"For real. It was crazy how she instantly started opening up to me like we were long-time friends and she just needed someone to vent to. But when Emily started talkin' crazy, Brianna looked down at her like she wanted to pluck her ass in the middle of the forehead. On some serious shit, I wish she did. Brianna told Emily he's safe tonight as in if she wanted me, she could pull me. Shiid, shawty can definitely pull me and have me wrapped around her fanga. Emily blew my phone up all night until I blocked her, trying to ask me whose face I was all in. Shit, ‘If I knew lil' baby, she would be on my line and not chu’, is what I told her."

"You hell, man. Let me get out of here so I can pick Naomi up. I'll bring you a plate back."

"See, that's why I fuck with you more than Zoo. That nigga would have let me starve."

"Do it look like I give a fuck?" Zoo yelled out from down the hall.

"I thought yo’ ass was gone!" I yelled out.

He walked into the room and started looking like he had lost something.

"My phone is somewhere in here, but I'm glad I came back. Now I see that you niggas don't do shit but sit around and talk about me when I'm not around."

"Ain't nobody studin' yo' ass. I was just happy to get a plate. Fuck you mean?" Brooklyn spat back at him.

"Yeah, aight. Next time I hear some shit about me, I'm knockin' errthang ova'."

"And you gon' pick errthang back up, too!" I barked. This nigga was crazy as hell.

He grabbed his phone from the bathroom and headed back down the hall. "I forgot I took a shit before I left."

"Dirty ass nigga. Get out. I gotta go."

When they left out, I locked up and headed to Naomi's. I already knew she’d lose her shit if I made her wait any longer.

NAOMI

Pacing back and forth, I fumbled with my phone, trying to decide if I should text Sin to call this off. I had the door open, to seewhen he pulled up, silently praying that it wasn't anytime soon so I could have time to calm myself. My mind was moving a mile a minute, and the only person who could’ve probably settled me was shopping. Deciding to bother Bri, I went to my favorites and hit FaceTime.

"What's wrong, Naomi?" Bri asked right when she answered.

"How you figure something is wrong?"

"Because PJ already told me you were about to go have dinner with the new boo's family, and instead of doing that, yo' ass is calling me. Now, what's wrong?"

"Are you busy?"

"Out shopping with PJ. What's up?"

"What?" I huffed, becoming pissed off. "You hoes left me?"

"Umm, aren't you going somewhere? Plus, our meeting up was an accident. Making the day of it was on purpose. We are both out here trying to be incognito with hats and shades on."

Exhaling, I let out exactly what was bothering me.
