"aye nigga where you keep your towels at?" i heard as i was asleep in the bed. i swear it was debo's voice.
i slowly opened my eyes and watched as he walked into my room with a toothbrush in his hand.
"what the fuck..." i said sitting up. "i'm dead or sum? who the fuck managed to kill me?"
"you not dead dumbass," he mugged me.
"so how the fuck am i seeing you? and talking to you? in my crib?"
"because it's a fucking dream.. this shit don't look dreamy to you?"
"bruh.. whatchu want old man why you disturbing my dreams?" i asked him.
"damn you ain miss me nigga?" he cocked his head back.
"hell yeah," i ran my hand through my hair, "youn know how much i need you out here dawg,"
"yeah i noticed that's why i'm here," he said walking into the room and sitting next to me. "what happened with your business?"
"it's going.. just not how i want it to go. i barely know shit about owning a dealership let alone a fuckin business. that's why i'm back doin street shit.. cos that's all i know,"
he sighed and shook his head, "that's my fault honestly. i brought you into this shit when i could've eventually put you on some other shit,"
i didn't say anything. i just nodded.
"and that's why egypt pregnant ass don't wanna fuck wit you right now huh?" he chuckled.
"man," i sucked my teeth, "ion know if it's the pregnancy that got her goin crazy or the shit that happened with tavares,"
"yeah she got every right to feel a way. that's why youn bring your girl into i thought i told you that?" he raised an eyebrow at me.
"ian bring her in nothing. tavares was my friend you must be forgetting that. and if anything, ian even introduce them to each other. he was dating egypt's friend and that's how me and egypt met," i explained.
"you already know if i had met egypt on my own she wouldn't have been introduced to anybody,"
he nodded, "i know street shit is all you know and you not gon leave it until you're completely ready. so try to explain that to her. don't lie or hide shit from her. tell how it is all the time. if you gotta show her how to use a gun to protect herself do det. egypt knew what she was gettin into sorry to say. but it's yo job to prepare her for that shit,"
"ima talk to her," i nodded.
"today please, get that shit done today," he sighed then looked away, "how isabel doin without me?"
