Once You Go Hood.....

Chapter 29: Fight Night

-Dre

"She looks amazing, oh my gosh!"

"I know, right? Since when did Kyra have THOSE kinda curves? She looks like a freaking video vixen."

Asia and Mia gawked at Kyra from across the room as she talked to some random dude I didn't recognize. They weren't nearly as amazed as I was. I mean, it's only been a year. I don't know how she did it but the girl seemed to have made her ass grow at least twice it's size. Not to mention her thicker thighs and bigger breasts. It almost made me wonder ig she'd gotten some work done but then again, she probably couldn't afford that. Still, she looked fuckin GOOD.

"I'mma go say hi." said Asia, takin a step in her direction.

"No!" said Mia, grabbin her arm. Me and Asia both stared at Mia like she was crazy.

"Why...?" asked Asia. Mia remained silent, lookin at Asia with a sad face.

"Well?" I urged her. Mia sighed and let go of my sister.

"Kyra doesn't exactly care for you anymore, Asia. I shoulda told you this earlier but.... Kyra does't like you now.... She feels like you're fake and that you only wanna be her friend when it's convinient to you." said Mia. I rolled my eyes.

Girl drama, of course. I walked away from them in Kyra's direction, not really carin to hear about it anymore. Mia said Kyra was mad at Asia, not me. I figured I'd go see where her head was at about me myself. I smiled as I watched her sip her drink then his as it seemed to burn her throat. I chuckled and grabbed her hand. Her head whipped up to me with a scowl, makin me falter for a second before I smiled at her again. Seemingly to realize exactly who I was, her scowl vanished being replaced by a shocked face.

"De'Andre? What are you doin here?" she said, lookin me up and down. I surveyed her from head to toe as well. Sexy, nor bad, nor beautiful, none of that described what stood before me. Kyra could damn well be the most gorgeous woman on planet earth. That is truly how I feel. I bit my lip and looked her in the eyes.

I wanted her and I wasn't gonna rest until I had her.

"Yeah, yo bestie in the flesh." I said, pullin her close to me, givin her the most sexual hug I could muster up. I pulled away reluctantly and watched her face. I chuckled inwardly as I watched her lips twitch upward. She was fighting a grin that woulda probably been so wide, she'da looked like she swallowed the moon.

"Hol up, nigga. Last time I checked, we wasn't besties no more." she said, quirkin her eyebrow at me, a smirk draped across her lips. I smirked too.

"I've decided that life is too short. Besides, that shit back then was juvenile. We grown now." I replied. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Whatever, Dre. You still ain't answer my question."

"What am I doin here? Well I'm cool with a female in the industry and she floated me some tickets. Asia and Mia are here too." I said. She rolled here again.

"Where's Mia?" she asked. This time I quirked my eyebrow.

"What's yo beef with my sister? Have you forgotten that Asai used to be your damn-near sister?" I asked, lookin at her incredilously. She was trippin.

"So did Mia." she commented. I shook my head.

"Nah, Kyra. You know it was different. You and Asia were CLOSE."

"Well that shit died when she played me to the left. Matter of fact, I should be still pissed at yo ass for how you egged it on. You made it your mission to make me feel like shit." she commented.

I was silent. She was right and I knew it. I wanted nothing more that day than to see her suffer like I was. Most of the foul shit that was said was either said by me or prompted by me as I egged it all on. But it still never changed the fact that she hurt me. Still tho, I shoulda been a man about it and left her alone. Shit didn't have to end like it did.

"You right. I was foul back then, but so were you, Kyra. You might not have realized it but you completely destroyed me back then. You hurt me more than any female ever could just for the simple fact that I had never loved anybody else. That shit you said and did hurt me more than anybody. You can't look back on your past and only see what everybody else did wrong. You gotta take part of the blame for what you did as well." I said. She looked me in the eyes for a minute, I assumed thinking about my words, letting them digest. Then she smiled. A genuine smile... that smile that used to belong to me and only me.

"You always did have a way of putting things in prospective." she said. I winked at her.

"And you always did have the most beautiful smile." I said, lacing our fingers. She smiled, hiding her mouth with her other hand as she looked down at the floor. 

"KYRA!"

We both looked up and saw the nigga that I had seen her with earlier at the restuarant. He looked pissed like he was ready to hurt somebody. Kyra instantly dropped my hand, causing me to look down at her. She looked annoyed as she turned back to the bar and sat down.

"You heard me call you, Kyra!"

"AND?! The fuck I look like to be runnin to you at yo every beck and call?! A damn dog?! The fuck outta here."

"Why the fuck every time I leave you alone, you end up all up in some nigga's face?! That shit ain't a good look!"

"I don't give a fuck! I tried to have yo back and you got mad at me for it so I'm done carin about yo image at this point, Sire."

"Be careful what you say, cuz I got half a mind to send yo ass back to Ohio, where you came from. I ain't got time for this childish shit. I told you what the deal was and you agreed to hold me down. Do what the fuck you said you was gon do, Kyra!"

"That's just it, Sire! I told you that I DON'T-GIVE-A-FUCK. FUCK whatever it is that I so-called agreed to, Sire! I told you that as long as you didn't hold me to the standards that the outside world does, I would do whatever it is that you needed me to. But this shit is goin too far! You can't get mad every time somebody of the opposite sex says two words to me! I'm a pretty bitch! Get over it! And the fuck you mean by "send yo ass back to Ohio"?! Have you lost yo damn mind?! I ain't no gotdamn rent-a-hoe, Sire! I CHOSE to bring my ass out here. And I'll go home when I get GOOD AND MUTHAFUCKIN READY. Capisce?!"

I sat there in awe. I really didn't know what to say. I watched them continue to cuss each other out, goin back and forth about some supposed agreement they had. This shit was better than reality TV. Nobody I knew could cuss somebody out better than Kyra. And her cussin him out made it all the more easier for me to get closer to her. Kyra was a professional at holdin a grudge. The more he pissed her off, the longer it would be for her to forgive him and the more time I would have to make my move. This whole situation was just absolutely perfect for me. I grinned as I happily watched them go back and forth with each other some more.

Absolutely fuckin perfect.
