Page 108 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

“I hear all y’all and I’m taking it in. I’m not tryna do like I did when we were together with overthinking. When she used to come on her period all she wanted was her savory food and me under her.” I explained.

“Yes, but that was three years ago Halo. Us women change when it comes to cravings and routine when dealing with our cycle. Give it until tomorrow then say something.” Imani advised.

“Thanks auntie.” I put my phone down and completely focused on the next hit.

An hour and we were finished with going over everything.

“Keanu called me today and said he got a quick emergency job for tomorrow morning. I told him how much extra that will be and he’s willing to pay for it. Me and Imani aren’t needed but he told me he would call tomorrow with all the details. Y’all want it? He said it won’t take long and it’s here in Michigan.” Thaddeus told us.

Greek asked me and Golden were we down and we were all for it.

“I’ll set it up. Be here at seven in the morning.” Thaddeus gave his final instructions.

“Be real with me brother. You on edge about Story for real?” Greek asked me when we got outside in the winter cold.

Thaddeus and Imani were still in the office and Golden was behind me.

“I just don’t like it, but I’ll chill because she’s bleeding. I don’t want her to feel like I think the worst all the time. Just don’t like how she’s acting.” I looked at my phone again and saw that she responded to me.

I had asked her if she needed anything and she told me she was fine.

“What’chu about to do now?” Golden questioned me.

“I told Dallas I’d do this favor for her. She is cool peoples, but she and I don’t have shit to talk about after this. I think I want to change my number too. It’s a few women that have it and I don’t want that energy around me no more.”

“Dang Halo, you really in love.” Golden cited.

“On my soul I love Story so bad I be feeling like I’ll go ape shit if she doesn’t just be my girl again. I can see her being my wife.” I never said those words out loud.

Greek liked what I said, he hit my shoulder and smiled.

Golden smiled too and spoke, “It may not be anything I want for myself, but I am happy you found your person. As far as Dallas you a nicer man than I am cause I’d uh’ told that bitch to kick rocks.

“Brother, Satan is nicer than you.” Greek joked and it was so funny.

“I’on mind doing this favor for her. I ain’t got shot to do this evening anyways. I’m about to go change my clothes and head her way. What are y’all about to do?”

“We about to go to the casino with Blake. Nothing much.” Greek answered.

I gave my brothers a dab then went to my crib so I could get dressed. I did not have on anything but sweats and a hoodie now. All I did was put on some jeans and change my boots. I left out of my place and drove to pick Dallas up.

“Hi Halo. Thanks again for doing this for me.” Dallas spoke when she got inside my ride and put the seat belt on.

“What’s up and it’s no problem. I know what it’s like to have ya’ family pressure you.”

I normally am not so quiet, but my mind was on Story. I tried not to overthink, but she wasn’t being herself. Or I was being greedy and wanted to be around her even while she was bleeding. I wanted to talk to her and hear her voice.

“You seem like it’s a lot on your mind.” Dallas snapped me out of my thoughts. “I know we aren’t friends anymore, but I am here anytime you need me to be Halo.”

A long time ago her words would have encouraged me to talk. But she was not who I needed to talk to at all. Matter of fact, I had not told anyone. But I got the ick being around Dallas ever since I got to drunk at her spot.

I came over high from edibles, but the shots were to much. When I woke up early in the morning on her couch, she was just overly nice to me. It made me check my pockets, I thought she might have robbed me or something.

She kept trying to cook me breakfast, but I just wanted to get to my place and shower. A ick feeling ran over me that morning when I left her place. Since then, I knew it was a good idea to get away from her.

Golden was right, I might be a little too nice in certain situations. But it’s just who I was, I can be an asshole when I need to be. But even though Dallas rubbed me wrong I did not think I needed to be an asshole now. Who knows, tonight might be what I need to take my mind off Story until tomorrow morning.

“I’m all good Dallas, just had a long day.” I told her. I turned Moneybagg Yo’s album up.
