"We need to talk" I pause my game to switch my attention towards my father who was standing in my bedroom doorway. I pull off my headset letting him know I was listening to whatever he had to say. "I'm going on a business trip" He revealed.
I hum. This was nothing new, He goes on plenty business trips, only this time he let me know he was going.
"Okay" I let out.
He straighten his tie "That's all" He says before turning around and walking away.
The relationship between my father and I has been weird? We haven't spoken about me beating his ass, also he wasn't being his abusive self since. I try not letting myself get wrapped up in my thoughts and instead focus back on the game.
"Fucktard!" I shouted at my Tv screen. I know, I know..I should be studying right now but I'm all honesty I took up my calculus book an hour ago and decided I needed a break five minutes into studying, I haven't look at the book since.
I can hear Miss Knowles voice right now.
Maybe I should call her? Tell her that I'm having trouble studying? I mean, that is the reason why she gave me her number. I thought about it for a couple more seconds before shaking my head to myself, I rather finish my game.
I felt my phone ringing in my basketball shorts pocket, I pulled it out not checking the ID and quickly answered it.
I put the phone on speaker before talking "Yo" I say aloud, still focusing on the game.
"Where you at foo?" By hearing the voice I already knew it was Ty.
"At the crib chilling. Why? Wassup?" I made a dunk making me scream out loud. I then remembered Ty is on the phone, I cleared my throat and decided to take a break from the game and focus on the call.
"Come down at Lenny's, B" He says.
I raise my eyebrow wondering why he wanted me to come at the most dangerous part of Queens.
"I'm not driving all the way over there, foo" I took the phone off speaker and held it up to my ear "Why you even want me to come over there? What are you even doing over there?" Questions started swirling in my head.
"Wayne here, Nic. He in trouble" He spoke.
I smack my lips but nonetheless got up off my bed and head into my closet, I grab my white tee pulling it over my head then slip my slides on.
"I'll be there in 10" I say before hanging up.
I walk downstairs not seeing my father in sight, he probably already left for his trip. I grab my keys and start walking out the door to my corvette, I lowkey started falling in love with this car. I got in my car and drove towards the dangerous part of Queens.
As I pull up at Lenny's I made sure to look around my surroundings to see if anything was suspicious, when I didn't pick up on any weird vibe I got out my car and went straight towards the diner.
I open the double doors seeing Ty and Wayne sitting at a booth, I also spotted out some well known gangsters sitting at tables drinking and smoking. I pull my shorts up and walk towards the booth Ty and Wayne was currently sitting.
I winced seeing Wayne's face "Who the fuck did that to you?" I analyze Wayne's face seeing cuts and bruises, His was beaten up pretty badly.
"You remember when I told you I needed 25k because I was in hot shit?" He asks and I nod my head remembering vividly, "Don't get mad at me, aight?" I already knew I was about to be hella mad at him but I wanted him to continue so I just nod my head again gesturing him to continue with my hands, "I kept dealing with em' and now I owe 5k" He says under his breath.
