Love Sync

Chapter 5: Pre Sync

Kira's POV

I'd been  still talking to Shootah since he approached me in the section which led to me sipping on my drink a little bit more than I planned. The vibe was everything but I was feeling tipsy and I was hungry again. I sent Bri a text to meet me in the bathroom. "Excuse me, but I have to go to the restroom. I'll be back." I said to Shootah before getting up from my seat. I smirked because I could feel his eyes on me as I walked away. I was using the bathroom when I heard Bri's voice outside of the stall. "Kira, you in here? Wassup?" she asked. "Yes bitch, I'm kind of tipsy and I'm hungry. Are you ready to go?", I asked. She begin to laugh. "Mannn you're a light weight. I guess we can leave. I'll drive though. I danced all my alcohol off earlier. What do you want to get to eat?" I opened the stall and went to wash my hands. "Honestly I'll get some lemon pepper wings delivered to the house from that restaurant that stays open 24 hours. You can stay over if you want to," I said looking in the mirror checking myself. She shook her head at me. "You love some wings and I was staying over anyway." We both begin to laugh when some girl with pretty curly hair came busting in the bathroom. She gave me a stank face before rolling her eyes and entering into a stall. Bri and I gave each other a confused look. "What the fuck??? Umm, anyway let's go." Bri said before we both walked out the restroom.
We headed back to the section to let them know we were leaving. Shootah and Jay said they were leaving too and insisted on "escorting" us to my car. I guess they were being gentlemen or whatever. I found it kind of cute. Jay and Bri walked ahead leaving me and Shootah to walk alone. "Soo, you gone give me your number ma? I know you wanna continue the conversation we were having earlier. I wouldn't mind getting to know you a little better. Ya dig?" I looked up to see him smiling down on me. He was so much taller walking by my side so I was literally looking up at him. I could feel my face turning red. This man had me blushing and I was brown skin. How did that even work? Suddenly I felt shy. I smiled and looked down automatically. "Yeah, I guessss." I responded in a playful tone. We both begin to laugh. There's my jeep right there. He walked me to the passenger side when he seen Bri hop into the drivers' seat talking to Jay. He unlocked his phone and handed it to me giving me the opportunity to lock my number in. "Take a picture with me for my contact," I said smiling to see what he would say. He laughed and grabbed me by waist taking the phone and snapping a quick picture. It caught me so off guard. I didn't expect that at all. "Your number is locked in. I'll see you around," Shootah said before opening my door and helping me in. He smiled and walked away.
I watched him in awe shook at what just happened. "Uh lord." I said to myself. I snapped out my thoughts to see Bri looking dead at me. "UMMMMMHMMMMM, bitch. Well well well Ms. Go getter. Shootah got ya nose WIDE OPEN." I tilted my head to the side before responding, "Girl please stop it. Let's not forget you was just slow grinding on the dance floor with Jay. We NoT wOrKiNg tHaT oNe. Remember?" Bri laughed and rolled her neck. "Whatever. No, honestly though. I think maybe you should try Shootah out. Of course it was just one night of fun but y'all can be friends. You need that. All you do is damn work," she said before turning on the Bluetooth and driving off. I looked out the window thinking about what she said. It couldn't hurt to have a friend. I heard my phone ding and looked down to see a text from an unknown number.

Unknown Number: It's Shootah ma. Lock me in. 😘
Me: Okay Donte. 😌
Unknown Number: 😂😂 bye man. Y'all drive safe.
Me: will do. Y'all do the same.
Unknown number: Preciate it. 😏😏

I smiled before locking my phone and looking up to see Bri looking right at me again. I bust out laughing. "What is it man?" She looked at me and said, "Oh you know what I'm talking about. That's nobody but Shootah texting your ass. He didn't waste no time at all I see." I glanced at her and smiled. "Leave me alone. Let's talk about you and Jay though. Y'all are cute I guess. He seems pretty cool from what I see so far. Plus you had him on the dance floor dancing. He doesn't even look like the type to dance." Bri laughed. "Yeah, he's pretty cool. He's the kind you have to watch though. He's too damn smooth for me girl. I already know those kind. I'm sure he has all kinda girls going crazy over him. It's strictly fun."
"Yeah we will see," I said before looking out the window and listening to the music.

Shootah's POV

I knew what I was doing when I took that picture with Kira. She was only testing me to see how I would respond. I didn't have much going as far as a female that I was taking serious and it most definitely wasn't a female checking my phone at anytime. I looked at the picture on my screen. This girl really was beautiful as hell and she had a good personality. I text her and looked up earning a look from Jay. "Nigga what?" I said before pressing the send button. "You feeling her ain't you? You was burning a hole in shawty when I brought them
to the section," Jay said still staring me down. "Mind your business. Let's talk about how your ass was on the dance floor slow grinding. So that's what you on now?" I said laughing. "Whatever nigga. I got that handled . Hell yeah, I'll slow dance for somebody like that any day. Don't change the subject though. I know you like her. I know your ass like the back of my hand. Just see what she talking about. It won't hurt. You need something new anyway. Maybe she'll loosen your ass up." I gave him a look before focusing back on the road. I heard what he was saying though and I was already on it. My phone dinged with a message from DeeMan.

DeeMan: aye, y'all pull up at the warehouse ASAP. We got a problem.

"We gotta go to the warehouse real quick." I said before hitting the next exit. "'Mannn what the hell happened that fast? I'm ready to go to the crib." Jay said sitting back in the seat. I didn't know what was going on but we was most definitely about to see. We pulled up about 15 minutes later before entering through the back. I walked in to see some nigga tied up. It looked like DeeMan had been beating his ass and bad. "Who the fuck is this DeeMan?" Jay said. I gave him a look warning him to keep his cool. "The little niggas peeped him down the  street sitting in his car watching the warehouse. They said he had been sitting out there for about two hours," DeeMan said. "Who sent you nigga?" I said calmly. He looked at me with this silly ass smirk on his face. I began laughing before swiftly pulling out my gun and knocking him across the face causing the chair to fall to the ground with him tied to it. I cocked my gun back before putting it to his mouth telling him to open up. "Ima ask you one more time. Who the fuck sent you?" His eyes became big with fear. He begin to try to talk. "This nigga named Derrick!!" I looked at him with a stare warning him to keep talking. "He's fucking with your baby mama. Her name's Riah right? She's giving him all the info on your operation. He plans on hitting the warehouse. I came to check shit out for em. Please don't kill me bruh."
I got up smiling down at him. "Preciate ya for the info." I nodded at Jay causing him to quickly pull out his gun shooting the nigga right in the head. "Pussy. Handle this body for me DeeMan. Ima go see about my baby mama asap and that bitch ass nigga she fucking with too." I said before walking out the warehouse with Jay behind me. They both was gone see me real soon. My baby mama had most definitely cross the line.
