Reckless

I was yanked from the club and all I remembered was yelling and screaming, I was worried about Philly and Courtney but however was pulling me wasn't stopping, and didn't stop until we were at his blacked out Tahoe. Zeus unlocked the doors and instead of starting the car, he grabbed a gun from under his seat, then pulled another one from the glove compartment and tossed it to me; once he started the car instead of heading to the exit he pulled into the back of the parking lot and waited. This gave me time to really examine Zeus; beneath the charm, the toe-curling dick, and the soul snatching ass... this dude was a killer, he watched closely as people continued scrambling out of the club parking lot, he checked his mirrors though from where we were sitting no one could sneak up on us, they had to come directly towards the car from the front. He also seemed a little too calm, like my heart was still racing; not from fear but adrenaline, and yet Zeus didn't seem phased by what happened in the slightest.... there wasn't the slightest hint of panic in his eyes. His calm demeanor made me even more nervous, I discreetly checked the gun and it was fully loaded with one in the head..... but still he could be setting me up.... maybe I'm trippin, I didn't feel any danger when I was with him but then again I was known for not having the best judgment when it came to dudes.

"You good?" Zeus asked looking at me as the police started to arrived, he slowly pulled out of the parking lot, drawing zero attention to us as we passed them without incident. "I know Big Dawg is pissed, he's worked extremely hard to make sure that shyt like that didn't happen in his establishment and yet....." Zeus said shaking his head.

"Who are you?" I asked keeping my eyes on him.

"Just a nigga who has been through way too many shootouts, I knew panicking is the worst thing you can do.... gotta keep them emotions in check." Zeus said. "But what you mean 'who are you?' I'm the same nigga that you've been rocking with the past few weeks, the same nigga that you've been alone with multiple times...... The same nigga was was dickin you down the other night." Zeus said laughing.

"It's just weird that......" I started to say but he shook his head and chuckled to himself. "What nigga?" I asked getting heated.

"I should've seen this shyt coming, I guess it's to be expected with hood niggas..... whenever some shyt pops off and they see I'm super calm they start getting suspicious and thinking I'm setting them up. But need I remind you that 1) You approached me, I was chillin and you sent me a drink..... and 2) Keep that level of paranoia, niggas out here aren't your friend and it's okay to be suspicious of any and everyone, at least until you really get to know them and see that not everyone is out to get you." Zeus said keeping his eyes focused on the road. "You should probably call your boys and let them know you're safe."

We drove to my apartment, I had never taken Zeus to my actual house so as far as he knew this was my place... I had been thinking about what he said and he had a very valid point, I did step to him and I did make the first move, I didn't tell him my intentions on using him to draw Qwantay back and that was the part that was starting to bother me. Zeus really was a coo ass nigga, if things were different I could definitely see myself vibing with him and possibly seeing where this could go... but that wasn't the world I lived in and I couldn't lose focus on my goal.

"Look man..... you wanna know a little about me here goes the raw unfiltered truth; I moved here from Broward County, I wanted to be closer to my son.... he's three, and me and his mom... well we really don't have the best relationship. She uhh.... she walked in on me with my legs in the air with the nigga she assumed was my best friend.... I mean he was, I had been rocking with that nigga since middle school. It was never a relationship we just fucked a lot, but she caught us and she naturally got pissed... she moved up here and she refused to let me see my son, not wanting him around 'that gay shyt' but we're working on building a cordial relationship and in order to do that I needed to come up here." Zeus said quietly.
