Reckless

Frenchie 27

I woke up to an empty bed, considering the mood I was in this definitely wasn't the way I wanted to start my morning.... calm down Frenchie, you know where Murda is at and why he had to leave in the middle of the night. Nah, I'm tired of being fuckin reasonable... my nigga should have his ass at home and take one fuckin night off from his side piece especially after I had to hurt that kid Deuce last night. Let me back up a little, now I had every intention of just toying with him but after he caught me with two chin shots it became clear that he was trying to get his ass beat, and did.... then everybody wanna look at me like I was the one in the wrong. The crazy part is I didn't even go as hard as I should've, granted I did punch him in the stomach so hard that he was throwing up all in my backyard, but remember he told ME to come outside all because his sensitive ass couldn't take a few jokes... then again I know how DL nigga operate and I could see how some of the jokes I made could come across to someone who was determined to keep his true self hidden. You know what, I couldn't worry about that shyt right now today was too damn important; I got out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, and walked down to the kitchen where Uno of all people was cooking breakfast for Chess and Yaseem.

"I was just about to come drag you outta bed, I told you we gotta get there early." Yaseem said sipping on a glass of orange juice. "You know Epic is pissed about your little scuffle last night?" Yaseem said and I shrugged, it's technically Epic's fault... I didn't volunteer to babysit and yet he pawned the kid off on me.

"So that little nigga running back to Epic...." I said irritated. "I don't even know why.... you know what forget it..... we should probably get going, I'll grab something to eat on the way there." I said checking my phone to see if Murda had called but of course he hadn't... see the way I was feeling right now.... calm down Frenchie.

"Y'all want me to ride with y'all?" Uno asked and I shook my head, I wanted him to stay close to Chess, not to protect her but to make sure she didn't get into any trouble which she's been pretty clean since the 'Boogie Incident'. "Aight y'all niggas be careful though... y'all know how.... well y'all know." Uno said glancing at Chess not wanting to clue her in on what we were about to do. After Yaseem finished his food, we started heading to see Edmund when I got an idea.

"He's staying at Epic's penthouse?" I asked as Yaseem pulled into the parking garage, Yaseem nodded and ten minutes later Deuce climbed into the backseat and I suppressed the urge to smile when I saw his swollen lip, however, I couldn't resist one slick ass comment. "Yo little bitch ass ran back to Epic?" I said turning towards him and I was impressed by the fearless look in his ass.

"I haven't spoken to Epic in a few days... so whatever you're implying you can..... fuckin Titan, I told him not to say shyt. But you better watch who the fuck you're talking to, I'm sober now and I can guarantee that what happened last night won't happen again." Deuce said.

"What'chu trying to do...." I said unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Chill out both of y'all.... we got important shyt to do." Yaseem said calmly and I nodded, he was right but I was going to have to eventually check this little dude because his mouth was fuckin ridiculous, and... yeah I was starting to see why Epic placed him under my charge, I didn't like it but I understood.....

The ride to the prison was long and quiet with the exception of Yaseem's music, every few minutes I would glance at Deuce through the mirror, and guilt started to eat away at me. I trusted Epic and I knew there was a reason he placed this kid with me and if I was being honest, I hadn't really tried to get to know him.... after this assignment and when I got back from my trip, I was hoping for a restart with him. We arrived at the prison and my asshole clenched, I can honestly say that I was proud of the fact that I've never been locked up for more than 72 hours, I just wasn't suited for prison....
