It's been a few weeks since I found out Rude had my money. I been trying to get a good plan together on how imma get him Rude isn't just somebody you can roll up on. I've had some people scope out the spots he be at so I can get an idea of his schedule. I wanna catch this nigga lackin.
I was sitting in my house watching tv and I reached in my pocket for my weed and a cigarillo but I was all out of rillos. "Damn." I mumbled and grabbed my keys and put the weed back in my pocket. I walked out the house to my truck and drove to the store to get some more rillos and beer.
I pulled up to the store and got out making my way inside. When I was about to walk in someone hit me with the door. "Got damn watch where the fu-" I stopped myself when I had seen who it was. "Ms.Sheard?"
"I'm so sorry." She said and looked at me.
"You okay?" I asked her. She really wasn't looking like herself. I would bump into her here kinda often but today something was off with her, she didn't look like her normal glowing and happy self. Looking at her face her eyes were red and puffy and she looked very exhausted.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just need to get home." She said trying to walk away but I stopped her.
"Ms.Sheard how about I give you some company."
"No I'm fine, You must be busy and I don't want to interfere with your day."
"I don't have nothing to do. I'll follow you home and we can just chill I just wanna make sure you good that's all." I said to her. Seeing her like this just made me very concerned for her.
She just quietly nodded her head. "Let me grab some stuff and I'll be right out." I said to her and I went into the store to grab a case of beer, some chips, rillos , and I grabbed her a juice and a water as well. After paying for my stuff I headed out and got in my truck. Once she saw me get in my truck she pulled off in her BMW and I followed behind her to her home.
When we pulled in I got out grabbed the bag and followed her into the house.
"Thank you for coming Dominic."
"You're welcome. I just wanted to make sure you good. Is everything okay?" I asked her.
"I'm fine just been thinking about my late husband. His death still takes a lot out of me."
"I understand. I'm here to listen if you just need to vent and just want to talk and get everything out." She smiled a little and nodded her head. "I got something that could help."
"And what's that?" She raised her eyebrow.
I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bag of weed. "I don't know I never did that..I'm not tryna be out here strung out."
I laughed a little. "You won't be strung out. Trust me it will help. It's gonna relax you and ease your mind."
She looked at me still hesitant.
"Trust me I won't tell a soul." I said.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." She spoke.
"We can go out to my truck. I know you don't want your house smelling like it." She agreed and we went out to my truck. I helped her in then I got in on my side. I turned the truck on so there could be a little music playing. I reached in my pocket for the weed then I sat it on the middle console, I reached in the bag and handed Karen the water and juice I bought for her. "I hope you like this juice and I got you some water as well."
"Thank you sweetheart." She softly spoke and smiled a little. I took the rillos out and began to roll a blunt for us. While I was rolling I looked over at her and she was just looking out the window in like a daze. I hate she was going through this type of pain I really wish it was something I could do to make her feel better.
When I finished I lit the blunt and began to pull from it. The smoke began to fill the truck. After I hit it I handed it to her.
"I don't know what I'm doing."
I chuckled a little. "Okay just put it in your mouth and take a pull but don't do it for too long and just blow some out then inhale then blow the rest out." I coached her. She did as I said and after she took her first hit she began to cough. I grabbed her water and opened it for her, I handed it to her and patted her back.
"That's normal for your first time...you'll get used to it. You did good." I smiled at her.
We sat in my truck for about 20 minutes smoking and just talking. She was venting to me about everything that had been going on with her lately with her family, church, and the passing of her husband.
"I'm so sorry to hear all that. I'm always here if you need me seriously I don't mind looking out for you."
Karen looked over to me with her light pink low eyes. "Thank you Dominic." She giggled. She continued to look at me. I put the rest of the blunt out and sat it in the ashtray I had in my truck.
I could still feel her eyes on me so I looked over at her and she bit her lip. She placed her hand on my arm and rubbed it. "I really thank you for this, I needed this."
"You don't have to thank me. I just wanted to help out and be there for you." I said to her. "You wanna head in?" I asked her and she just nodded her head. I turned the truck off and got out and wen to help her out. She was smiling and giggling so much.
I walked her into her house and when we made it in Karen turned and looked at me and out of nowhere her lips were on mine.
