TRIPLE THREAT

25. WHERE IT HURTS THE MOST

KING

The only reason I'm not going to blast CT's ass at first sight or let alone at all is because of the love I have for Red and her sisters.

If he did not turn to be their long lost dead-beat father, his head would've been mine. He doesn't deserve to breathe or get too see another day for the hurt and betrayal he has caused them.

I look at how Red takes care of her sisters and my mind always wonders on how great of a mother she would be in the future. I can't help but think about her every second. She's beautiful, always have been. That's how she caught my eye in the first place, her curvy body, her pretty long flowing hair and her beautiful thin face.

I met her at the club. She was bar-tending and I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. I made several passes at her that would work with any girl but it didn't with her.

"A beautiful girl like you needs a drink." I smile my million dollar smile at her.

"No thanks. I'm working." She replies.

"Aw, come on. A little break wouldn't hurt. I promise you won't get in trouble." I say trying to convince her. I'm good friends with her boss and the owner of this club so her taking a little break wouldn't hurt.

"No thanks. I'm good." She's not convinced.

"You sure about that?" I wink at her.

"I'm positive."

"How about a dance?" I give her another option.

"No thank you. I'm fine, sir." She rejects me once again. Normally most girls would have already took the drink and it would only have taken a little bit to get her to come home with me.

I leave her alone and continue to watch her and try again the whole night. I don't know what it is that attracts me to her so much. Maybe it's the guard that she has up or because of her beauty. I don't know what it is but I'll find out pretty soon.

It might look like I'm interested in my boy's girl, but technically I saw her first. Chaz ended up getting her number, considering he is even worse at the player role than I am. Eventually, they got together and it became official.

To be honest, it angered me that he got to her first and it still angers me that he broke her heart like he did.

I still want his head for fucking with my money and for causing CT to get away.

Even if I got to know her before Chaz did, it probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere. Everyday I ask myself if I'm ready for a relationship. After Miya passed, I couldn't see myself ever dating anyone beside her. I was still attached to her and in love to date other people.

Miya died in a car crash her Senior year of high school. She went out with her friends that night to a birthday party. She begged me to go but I couldn't. I had 'business' to handle. The driver was a drunk driver but he wasn't the one who ended up dying. I sometimes wish he did die. He didn't deserve to live if he could drink and drive without thinking about other people on the rode and how he could kill someone. Well, he did. 

 My parents passed my when I was just ten years old and I got involved in the game around the same time. I was hard headed and refused to go through foster care so I made ends meet for myself.

Children Services came looking for me but they couldn't catch me. I lived with Tony, a good friend of mine, who I consider as a brother. We grew up together and he and his grandmother took me in and that's when he introduced me to the things he did for a living.
