Apollo and Blade

Chapter sixteen

Sorry for any mistakes🖤

Blade-

"This isn't fair!" I complained as I quickly made my way to the driver's door. Somebody robbed one of N's smaller trap houses, so he decided to give us a job on this fine Christmas day. We were supposed to take some shit back to N.

"Just start the fucking car, Blade!" Sevyn yelled. I should just sit here because he keep telling me what to do, but I started the car and sped off. Sevyn yelling at me like it isn't his fault why we're in this predicament in the first place. We weren't smart about this. Well, that isn't the fair word to use. Sevyn created the problem.

Apollo told us NOT to touch the windows. Guess what Sevyn did? He touched the damn window, which sounded off a big ass alarm. Then he gon' say, "YoU dId'Nt SaY wHiCh WiNdOw." We were supposed to do a smooth job and then leave. Now we have to do all this swerving shit and make it back to the house before six. That's when Cherry and Val will be waking up.

"Can we open presents?!" Val yelled excitedly the second we walked through the door. She's standing at the top of the staircase with a big smile on her face.

Damn, I was hoping to get a chance to lie down.

I'm tired and N yelled at us because, not only did we fuck up, but we also came back empty-handed. He let Apollo off the hook, as always, and only focused solely on Sev and me. Let me find out N and Polo fucking around or something.

"Val, go back to sleep," Apollo said, taking off his jacket after checking the time.

"What time is it?"

"Four o'clock," he mumbled. Sevyn crashed on the couch, deciding not to go back upstairs and lay in the guest bed with Cherry. I started making my way upstairs to Apollo's room to lie down.

"Where did you guys go, Blade?" Val asked.

"We went to go make last-minute runs with Santa." Her face lit up and she started smiling. "Really?" She got more excited. I nodded my head.

"We were telling him how good you are." When I was younger I never really believed in Santa. I caught my parents wrapping and putting gifts under the tree when I was seven. That's the moment they told me he wasn't real.

Blair believed in him though. She loved leaving out cookies and shit. The whole time, I was helping her make cookies that I would eat.

Apollo walked up the stairs and swooped Val up like she weighed nothing. Valerie giggled as Apollo carried her back to her room. Surprisingly, she started to sleep in her room by herself. At first, she always slept with Apollo because she would get scared at night.

I let Apollo deal with her while I went into his room and laid down. I'm tired as fuck and it's only two hours before we have to wake up. This whole Christmas get-together was mostly to spoil Cherry and Val. Cherry is going through a tough time so we're trying to cheer him up. Especially since they're not celebrating at his house for obvious reasons.

I pulled the covers over me and started to force myself to sleep as fast as I could. Apollo walked into the room, sighed, and sat at the edge of the bed.

After 2 minutes, I pulled down the covers a bit to look at him. "You not gonna sleep or nun?" I asked.
He shook his head no making me suck my teeth. "Apollo, if you don't lay your ass down." I didn't give him a chance to think about it. I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up to the top of the bed with me. Of course, I left a distance between the two of us.
