The Prostitute

Chapter Nine

One week later..

Red

"Man nigga you cheating" Brent says aggravated that I'm beating him and Georgia boy on 2K.

"Nigga you say that every time" I tell him.

"Nigga that's cause you cheat every time" Brent says making me laugh.

My front door opens and in walks China..She sits her car keys on the counter along with a bunch of snacks..

"Hey baby, You got the backwoods?" I ask her.

"Shit I knew I forgot something, I'll go get them right now" China grabs her car keys, leaving again.

"Ain't she like nineteen? That girl not old enough to buy backwoods" Georgia boy says.

"Nigga worry about them punks you be fucking" I snap at Georgia boy before lighting the roach blunt I had in my ash tray.

Brent laughs.

"See there you go with the bullshit, nigga I don't fuck punks" Georgia boy says angrily.

"Ain't no punk about to just lie on you" Brent says still laughing.

"Man y'all niggas simple minded. Believing lies" Georgia boy sucks his teeth.

I chuckle

China

I pull up to the corner store to get the Backwoods for Red.

I get out of my car and I hear talking.

"Man fuck all that where my money at? You thought coming to a different part of Cali was gone magically make your debt disappear?!" A Jamaican guy says in anger while holding a gun to a mans head.

"Kane I swear I'm gone pay you what I owe you. I just need more time" The man says sounding scared.

Kane ?

The man looks at me causing Kane to turn around.

I instantly look away trying to open my car door to go to a different store. Remembering that Red had told me to stay away from him..

"China" Kane stops me.

Fuck...

"Oh, hey Kane" I speak nervously.

"She just saved your life. Bring me my money in two days or you won't live to see day number three" Kane threatens the man.

"I-I promise I'll have your money man. Two days, I got you!" The man runs away.

"Sorry you had to see that" Kane puts his gun into his waist band

"I-It's fine" I stutter nervously.

"What are you doing out here this late?" Kane changes the subject.

"Trying to get some banana backwoods. Do you mind going into the store and getting them for me? I have the money" I ask him, seeing that there isn't anyone else up here...

"Yeah no problem, how many packs?" He moves his dreads out of his face.

"Eight" I answer, trying to hand him the money.

"I got you" He walks away, into the store. Not taking the money.

After a few minutes Kane comes out of the store, handing me a plastic bag full of backwoods.

"I got you ten packs" He tells me.

"Thank you" I smile.

"Why couldn't you go in and get them?" He asks curiously.
