Stone's Diary: Kairo

Chapter 4.) Hustle

"I know yo cheap ass ain't walk to my shit with five damn dollars for two grams, nigga!" Kairo had to laugh at the young dude that thought he could play him.

"You can't break me off, goon?"

Kairo sucked his teeth and coolly removed his gun from his lap. Zaire sat in the passenger seat watching him and knew Kairo was about to act a damn fool.

"You still owe me for tha' last favor I gave yo ass, where my money?" He exited the vehicle and turned his cap backward.

The young man took a step back, "Man... I'ma pay you back... I ain't find a job yet!" He stressed, looking around nervously, unsure if Zaire would hop out and put the paws on him.

"Yet yo ass begging for weed like a damn crackhead! You got your priorities all types of fucked up, lil nigga. Get out my face and I want my fucking money by Thursday!"

"Th— Thursday? What happened to Saturday?" He asked but quickly regretted it when Kairo punched him.

"Lawd," Zaire tried not to laugh as he exited the car and pulled his sweats up a bit before walking around to Kairo. "Get yur crazy ass in di car."

"Dat lil nigga owes me two hunnid dollars, I should beat yo ass," Kairo jumped at the frightened young man.

"Nigga," Zaire chuckled, knowing how his right-hand man could be.

"Stand up," Kairo sucked his teeth and shoved his hand into his pocket causing the young man to duck.

Zaire and Kairo exchanged looks then busted out laughing.

"Ain't nobody finna shoot yo ass," Kairo chuckled, removing the small bag.

"At least nuh in daylight," Zaire eyed the young man.

"Good looks, I'll get yo money, for real," he said before scurrying away.

"Hothead," Zaire laughed, shoving him.

"I only hit his lil ass 'cause he owes me money. He better have my shit by Thursday, I know dat."

"Facts," Zaire said, glancing at the time.

"You gotta bounce?" Kairo asked as he counted their money while Zaire kept an eye out.

"Nah... memba dah gyal mi told yuh bout?"

Kairo nodded. Zaire had quite a few little horny girls chasing after him.

"Look," he held up his phone showing the text she sent as he still watched their surroundings.

Kairo squinted a bit then chuckled, "What her lil ass knows about some damn eating pussy? Just tell her you 'ont do dat... I sure don't," he shrugged, placing the money into the envelope.

Getting situated in the car, the guys resumed their conversation.

"Mi try... shi tenacious."

"Cut her off, I told you about dem warning signs," Kairo asserted and Zaire nodded.

"When mi mum found out mi nuh virgin, shi cried..."

Kairo chuckled, his aunts were so dramatic. "What yo pops say?"

Zaire shrugged, "Said he knew."

"Why am I not surprised? Just like when he found out about us," they guys laughed.

"He nuh want mi get fi deep inna dis tho."

"You know I ain't gon' let you," Kairo assured as someone knocked on his window.

Handing Zaire the envelope, Kairo rested his hand on his gun and lowered the window a bit then sucked his teeth, "What you doing way down here?" He asked Von, the detective that Dajon still had on his payroll.
