Reckless

Frenchie 10

I spent a few more hours with Epic, mainly just talking and sorting out our issues... though I could be petty at times I knew there were things much more important than my own pride (something he that continues to fail to understand). He wasn't entirely on board with Alonzo's plan to bring in his cousins but he would consider it based on how the meeting with Edmund went; another thing we discussed was what his plans were once Renee was out of town on this trip. Whatever the plan was, Epic smile told me that he definitely had a plan and that put me at ease in some ways but also made me nervous because I would be close to Renee when she found out and there was a small chance I would get caught in her rage. For this plan to work, I needed Renee to think that I was still somewhat beefin with Epic which shouldn't be too difficult considering that this nigga still got on my damn nerves. I wasn't really feeling the fact that I was being forced to mentor some kid who just graduated, and I definitely wasn't feeling the fact that he was thinking about stepping down.... though he never said it, I've seen the signs numerous times and it wasn't that he was stepping down it was that he was expecting me to take over. I had made enough money where I could live comfortably and honestly if anyone should take over it should be Yaseem.

"You should probably link up with Yaseem before you head home, y'all have a lot to talk about.... also I need you to ask Murda why Legend was visiting Edmund. Don't make it obvious but be subtle with it...." Epic said.

"Yes, yes to the first thing... hell no to the second thing. I told you from the moment me and Micah decided that we weren't going to hide our relationship anymore.... I'm not going to use him to gather information on Legend for you.... If you wanna know why YOUR brother is meeting with YOUR brother-in-law, then maybe you should ask him your damn self." I said standing up. "You got me babysitting some nigga who most likely has never held a gun in his life, meeting up with your crazy albeit sexy brother-in-law, trying to keep my sister from doing some crazy shyt, watching Renee's crazy ass, and planning Kooda's homecoming party.... Speaking of that, why the fuck are we celebrating that nigga coming home from jail? His dumb ass shouldn't have got caught in the first place.... and the most stressful thing you got me doing is making sure you and Alonzo don't fall out over your ego. Do you know how stressful it is dealing with the horny/angry version of you..... nigga, it's a full-time job." I said shaking my head.

"Anything else you need to get off your chest Francis?" Epic asked with a sarcastic smirk on his face.

"Actually there is.... when you leave here you need to take your ass to Alonzo's place, set up a romantic evening with all the essentials; rose petals, candles, wine, 90s RnB, lube... and you should probably cook for him or at the very least order some food and make him think you cooked. That nigga deserves to be pampered for putting up with your stupid ass for all these months..... and eat his ass so good that he's cumming all over himself.... I don't wanna hear from your strong neck ass until this is complete.... now, since you kidnapped me I need you to take me to see Yaseem." I said shaking my head while Epic tried not to laugh.

"Yes, sir...." He said in a militaristic tone. Let's be honest, Epic would either be locked up, dead or in some facility wearing a straitjacket if it weren't for me, he needed to start appreciating all the shyt I did for his ass and he also needed to learn to start taking my advice. Epic dropped me off over Yaseem's house and I can count on one hand how many times I've been over here, Yaseem liked to keep his business relationships separate from his personal and I respected that. I knocked on the door, and a beautiful woman who looked like Lupita opened the door holding a little boy.

"Hey, Frenchie!" Njeri said hugging me with her free hand. "If I would've known you were coming over I would've cooked you something, but then again from the looks of this gut you aren't missing any meals....." He said patting my stomach.
