Apollo and Blade

Chapter ten

Sorry for any mistakes🖤

Apollo-

"Damn, you a funny little girl I like you." Ram said laughing at whatever Val just said. This is the first time they have met Val. They didn't even know I had her. They wanted me to go to the block, but I had Val and I was not bringing this little girl somewhere that could get shot up at any second.

"I'm not little!" Val defended herself.

"Well you ain't big." Ram continued to tease her. I can tell the two will have a lovehate relationship.

Tue put his arm around my shoulder as Wed went to the other side of me. "When were you gonna tell us you had a kid?" Wed whispered. I just told them that she wasn't my kid, but they don't like to listen. "That little girl is like Seven years old, so you were...." He started to do the math in his head. "It's fucking thirteen dumbass." Tue said instead of letting Wed count.

"Well if you would have gave me time I would've got there." He mumbled.

"She's not my kid, I'm just taking care of her for now. Why would I have a kid at the age of thirteen? And she's six not seven."

The twins didn't ask anymore questions and walked a little faster to go mess with Val. Q was just silent the whole time. Probably trying to figure out where Val came from. She didn't look related to me at all. I'm a black man walking around with a little girl that looked like she was maybe 50% black. Her mama was definitely white. I didn't see what her father or brother looked like though.

Valerie haves light skin and green eyes. She's definitely white passing. She haves a head full of curls. Her hair is thick. When I had first met her, her hair was straight so I automatically thought she was a little white girl, but now I've been around her more and I could definitely tell she wasn't just white. Especially in her facial features.

"Where she come from?" Q said nodding his head in the direction of Val.

"She was abandoned so I took her in."

"Abandoned where?"

I could tell that he thought I was lying. Q always questioning somebody and he won't shut up until he gets the answers he want. "You tryna say I'm lying?" I said instead.

"I never said that. I was just asking." He shrugged his shoulders.

"She was abandoned in a house. I found her and decided I wanted to have her around instead of dropping her off somewhere."

"You still work illegally?"

I sucked my teeth. "Nigga do you?" I said making him nod his head. "You still work with Cole?" I asked already knowing he do. He only nodded his head then he stopped walking and turned towards me.

"You work under somebody?"

"Yeah."

He stayed quiet for a bit longer. He then turned from me and began walking behind the rest of them again. "You left us to work under some other nigga with that Blade boy?" I could tell that he was mad and hurt. "And it's more risky. Working under someone Apollo? Really?"

"I know what I'm doing." I shrugged.

"That's what they all say then they end up dead in a fucking ditch or in jail, but you do you." My next sentence got interrupted by Val yelling Blades name. I immediately looked up seeing Blade walking in my direction with Zy. Val followed right behind them.

"Where Sev at?" I asked ignoring the look on Blades face. "He went to spend time with his siblings, so I made Blade come to the mall with me."

"Zy?!" The twins said running up to us. I made a mental note to never let them be around Val by themselves because how didn't they see her walk off with Blade and Zyair. I don't even know where Ram went.

Zy looked over his shoulder giving the twins a smile. "Hey, did you guys do the hom-"

"Nope!" They said before he could even finish his sentence. "It's due tomorrow." He reminded them. The twins let him know that they already knew that and they would do it tomorrow because that's when it was due.

"So you're the famous Blade?" Q sounded amused. I huffed in annoyance I already knew Blade was going to come for me.

"You're Blade?!" The twins said. They took in his appearance before smiling and asking questions. The whole time Blade was glaring at me. "I'm apologize for what went down at that party." Xan apologized while nodding his head in Blade direction. Blade only narrowed his eye more while staring at me.

"You been mentioning me?" Blade asked. I shrugged my shoulders instead of answering him directly. "Apollo-" he stopped mid sentence scrunching his face up at Q who was already staring at him with a straight face.

"Fuck you staring for nigga? Look away."

I think they forgot it's a whole six year old standing right next to us. "Blade. Calm down." I didn't want them to start shit right now. "Don't tell me what to do."

"This is who you hang around Apollo?" Q said in a mocking tone. See this is why I wanted to keep Blade from this group. Especially from Q, now here they are arguing for absolutely no reason. There isn't a single reason why they should be fighting right now.

"Apollo get your friend." Blade chuckled. That's how I knew he was mad, he was laughing in a non-funny situation. "It's that easy to piss you off? It makes you seem like a bitch." Q kept going. I ran my hands down my face before pushing Blade back lightly causing him to stumble back before he could land on hit on Q. I knew he wanted to and I didn't feel like breaking up a fight.

"Q chill out." Xan said walking between the two.

"What's going on?" Ram walked up to us. I immediately noticed the pretzel in his hand. He really went off to auntie Anne's. Didn't tell anybody anything.

"I'm leaving. Cherry let's go." Blade said walking off. Val looked confused. I would be too seeing these grown ass men argue over nothing. They don't even know each other. Zy said his goodbyes and followed behind Blade who didn't look back at all.

"He's scary." Tue said tapping his twin which made Wed nod in agreement. "No, Blade is nice!" Val crossed her arms across her chest. "What happened? I stepped away for a minute and it was drama? Twins fill me in."

"You didn't have to say all that Q." I sighed. Q shrugged his shoulders. "He came at me wrong first so I did what I had too."

"All that extra shit was unnecessary though, did you have to call the nigga out his name?" Xan said. "I don't need to respect him. He's not my homie."

"He's mine though, when have I ever went out my way to mess with your people?" I asked. Q ignored me and started to walk.

"Was Blade mad?" Val asked.

"Blade was just being Blade."
