Cash Rules Everything Around Me

Chapter One

I woke up annoyed. The ball was counting down. I had survived another year. 2010 was over. In came 2011. (I don't do this narrating shit. I'm a nigga so bare with me. It's my story.)

I looked at myself in the mirror pissy drunk with this damn bottle of moscato. I hated looking at my pitiful ass face.

"The fuck is wrong with you nigga? You got everything you ever wanted what's wrong?" I yelled at my reflection.

Before I could answer myself my phone buzzed.

From Nique
Wyd

Those 3 little letters were all a nigga needed to get out this fucking slump. I quickly put on my white Hollister sweatsuit and texted my brother my location in case shit went left for me. Wasn't no telling if I was gonna be able to pull shit together in time for them niggas not to get me.

I eased into my infareds and grabbed the keys to my charger. As I locked the door to my house I kinda whistled I was excited as hell to get pussy for no reason in particular besides the fact that I needed the distraction. Shit had been fucking with my head and Nique was just gonna feel all of those deep rooted ill feelings I had.

I started my car patiently waiting for the bitch to heat up. Couldn't stand winter out this bitch. It beat being in the hood, if I had been there a nigga woulda been tried some foul shit.

To Nique
Be there in a bit

As I continued waiting I bobbed my head a little to the latest Rick Ross riding the airwaves. By the time the song had ended it was toasty and good to go so I pulled off.

I pulled in to the BP about 10 minutes later semi drunk and on a mission as I rushed out of the car bumping into what looked to be some Puerto Rican dude. He didn't say anything he just gave me a look as he got into his all black Benz and sped off. I shrugged dude off just cause me and my niggas ate niggas like that for breakfast.

"Yo I need a box of magnums." I slid the $20 on the counter as I stayed cautious of my surroundings.

He slid the condoms back and gave me my change and my receipt his lips pressed together like he was scared or some shit.

I smacked my lips looking at him. "Niggas ain't even worried bout you relax."

I swaggered out of the store getting in the car and made my way to Nique's whistling and secretly singing along to the Keyshia Cole playing on the radio.

"Take me away I love my baby I love my babyyyyyyyy"

By the time I got there I was singing the same damn song for the 3rd time. I hated the radio sometimes.

I got to the door all excited and shit and knocked on the door and she opened it.

Nique was pretty man. She was about 5'6 with shoulder length hair, had pretty ass chocolate skin, full lips and nice lil gap in her teeth. She had perky b cups and a petite frame to match it.

"What took you so long?" She scoffed sucking her teeth.

Did I mention Nique's attitude sucked. Attitude was so bad it made me question why I even started fucking with shorty.

She cleared her throat.

"Yo did I stutter? Do I got egg on my face or something. Cause I know you heard me talking to you." She aggressively pushed my shoulder causing me to yank her by her hair.

"Keep ya fucking hands to yaself Im'Unique"

Silence. She looked up at me as if she was turned on and I couldn't have been more turned off as she lead me to her bedroom in the 2 bedroom brownstone she shared with her older sister.

When we got there she closes the door to the regular sized room and pushed me on to her queen sized bed that was covered in purple supreme bedding.

"I'm sorry," she cooed as she started pulling down my sweatpants. "I be tripping sometimes."

"Sometimes ain't the word Nique.... this shit getting old."

She just kept going as if she couldn't hear me and decided to just give me head until I dozed off.

I heard her alarm go off causing me to get my pants and shoes and tip toe out her room before she could wake up.

Nique was a lot of things but a morning person.... hell nah. I'm talking straight nut case.

I had just gotten to the door when I heard somebody clear their throat.

"If you gonna sneak out atleast have yo damn pants on."

I didn't know the girl she was snooty and uppity in her mannerisms and even the way she dressed.

"And who the fuck are you?"

She rolled her eyes at me sarcastically and crossed her arms.

"I'm Katherine. A friend of Melanie's."

I looked her up and down unpleasantly as I put my pants and shoes on. Her piercing black eyes stared deep into my blue ones as I just watched her watching me.

I mumbled snooty bitch under my breath as I exited and yawned checking my phone having 7 missed calls from my brother. As I got in the car I didn't even wait for it to heat up I just started driving not even remotely interested in the chance of bumping into Katherine and Melanie. As I approached a red light I called my brother.

"Yo bastard I'm alive."

"Yeah yeah yeah." He chuckled. "You get into another domestic last night."

"Hell nah. My New Years resolution is to get rid of that bitch! She ain't good for me. Word to the flag brother. Bitch put her hands on me cause I took too long. "

" I'm surprised you ain't punch the bitch."

"I couldn't I'm still fighting charges from the last time I fought this bitch."

That caused my brother to laugh a hearty ass laugh in my ear. I could never count on this nigga to do me right in any aspect besides business. He hated the women I dealt with, never really cared for my friends, and damn sure wasn't on board with my excessive need to spend money.

I sighed letting him continue to laugh as I noticed the same Black Benz from last night and I put my car in park and stepped out.

"What nigga you thought you was finna catch me at a light?" I yelled to the tinted windows.

The window dropped and so did my heart.
