Kisses and Thugs : Reloaded

Running the Business

The bell had rung for us to go home. Michelle had walked to the car with me. We sat in the car waiting for Grayson who had his tongue down Octavia's throat. I hit the horn. "come on nigga!", I said. He limped his tall ass to the car. Him and Octavia jumped in the backseat and continued to swap spit. Then I got a call from Da....

Phone Call

Me: Wassup Pops?

Da: Where are you ?

Me: leaving school about to drop bae and Octavia off.

Da: After you done with that come to the trap we got business to discuss.

Me: Ok

Call Ended

It must be really important because usually dad doesn't bother us. I stopped by McDonald's to get Michelle and Octavia something to eat and then I dropped them off. We kissed them goodbye and then Grayson hopped in the front seat. "where we going?", Grayson asked. "To the trap", I replied. "What for ?",he asked.. "You asking a lot of damn questions son and I don't know he just told me to come", I said. "Oh and I ain't ya damn son dude", he said. I laughed and headed to the north to the trap.
We pulled up to the trap and got out. The security let us in and we went to dad's office in the back.
"Wassup Da", I said. He told me and Grayson to sit down.

"L.J it's that time", he said.

I sat there confused.

"What you talking bout pops?", I asked.

"Time for you to run this business", he said.

"For how long ? I'm graduating in a few months and I got a child coming in this world ", I said in concern.

"A year tops and I did it when your mama was pregnant with you ", he replied.

"Why he running business now Da?", Grayson asked.

"I gotta go to Jamaica and get my business straight there", he replied.

"Just a year right ?", I asked.

"Maybe less", he replied.

I agreed to the job. And he called everybody in his office.

"While I'm in Jamaica my son will be running business, try to fuck him over and I fuck you up", he said.

He dismissed the meeting and I got Grayson home.

I went home and took my shower. It was Friday and I didn't feel like being in the house. I called Michelle and asked was she busy and she told me no. I guess I'll pick her up and take her to dinner with her pregnant hungry ass.
I got dressed and grabbed my phone and keys then headed downstairs. "Where you going?", Grayson asked. "Hell if I don't pray", I replied. "Man for real", he said. "Taking Michelle out", I said. "I wanna go", he said . "Nigga you got your own car", I said. "So?", He said . "So,drive your car and pick up your girlfriend", I said in a duh tone.

I walked out the door and got in the car. I called Michelle and told her that's I was on my way. A few minutes later I pulled up to her house and she came outside. She looked beautiful. I opened the car door and she got in. We headed to the south side where all the good restaurants were. We went and ate an Italian restaurant. We were sitting down eating and talking until this waiter came over. " Hey Michelle", he said. "Hi", she said softly. I cut my eyes at her. "Who was that?", I asked. "An old friend", she replied. "Don't make me catch a case", I said. " ok bae", she said.
I paid for our food and we went to the park. We walked the trails and I pushed her on the swings. She grew tired and it was time to go. "We find out what we're having Monday", she said. I nodded. I hopped on the freeway to take Michelle home. "Where you going?", She asked. "I gotta run to the trap I'm taking you home", I said. "I'm going with you", she said.

I thought about it our trap was extra safe since the robbery. So I agreed to let her come. We pulled up to the trap and I gave her a gun and Grayson's vest just in case some shit did pop off. I went to the kitchen and start to cook. After I was done cooking the product. I went to the money room and started to count money Michelle was on my side doing the same. Then my dad walked in and started smiling extra hard.

" Da what the hell you smiling at ?", I asked.

"Seeing you and her counting money bringing back memories of me and your mama", he said.

"She got her vest on and gun out just like Courtney ", he said.

After a while we all started to smile.

After spending 5 hours if cooking and counting $100k we put the money in the safe and locked up the trap. "I'm going home with you" she said. I nodded and we headed back home.

We walked in the house and we both went upstairs to get in the shower. After getting out the shower we brushed our teeth and plugged our phones up. I pulled her close in my arms and we soon fell asleep. So this what is feels like to be Running the Business
