Reckless

Renee 74

It was rare for Legend to call, it was even rarer for me to be nervous about ANY man and yet seeing his name causes me to tremble. It wasn't out of fear or anything close to it... okay, maybe I was slightly scared because Legend was extremely perceptive and I knew I was on borrowed time, I wouldn't be able to hide this... infliction, for too much longer and Legend was smart enough to put two and two together. Putting the fear I felt to the side, I answered the call and tried my hardest to remain calm, visions of myself trying to push out this big headed Hayes child, almost caused me to drop my phone but I recovered and tried to sound causal. The conversation was brief, Legend invited me to dinner and once I agreed he ended the conversation, great... now I needed to find something to wear; I walked downstairs and there was some movement all around my house, Hezekiah was holding a meeting and from the sound of it he was going over the numbers. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, then I noticed Trejean sitting out on the patio talking to Rich, the first thing that came to mind was the secret that Rich wasn't suppose to know... my trigger finger started itching and I had to fight that urge to blow his brains out... even seeing him laugh annoyed me.

"You got that look in your eyes." Hezekiah said walking over to me and looking in the direction of Rich and Trejean. "Just say the word... though I think we should hold off just a bit longer, at least until we figure out what Epic is doing." He said and I felt he was right but then again I don't think Rich would be the difference between victory and defeat.

"Maybe you're right, Epic is the bigger issue...." I said wondering what would be the best way to take out Rich, I could simply have him try to assassinate Epic knowing full well that he would fail in that endeavor but I needed it to be more subtle... like with Boogie. "Anyways, I'm going to need a small security detail." I said and Hezekiah raised his eyebrow as he looked at me.

"You planning on going somewhere? If that's the case you know I'll be right there by your side." Hezekiah said.

"Legend invited me to dinner, it's nothing too crazy... I should be fine because there aren't too many people who are stupid enough to try Legend. As for you I have a different assignment for you... I want you to see what's going on with Kendu... something about his radio silence isn't sitting right with me." I said still watching Rich, who was now wearing his serious face and glancing over his shoulder nervously. "Go break that up...." I said and Hezekiah nodded.

"You two... come with me." I said pointing to two of my men. Without telling them where we were going or what we were doing, they nodded and followed me out the door... an hour or so later we were pulling into the mall parking garage and I was ready to get out when I noticed a car parked behind us, the woman was honking her horn and shouting loudly (though I could make out what she was saying).

"I'll take care of it boss....." Juggernaut said getting out of the car, I didn't give him that name but it was fitting... he was fuckin massive and built like a tank. "Man go on somewhere...." He said in an aggravated tone.

"Boss I don't think you should..." Diesel said as I knocked on the back window, telling Juggernaut to let me out... He honestly seemed to fear for the woman as I stepped out of the car, there were two white girls who seemed upset about something.

"You seen us indicating that we were about park there so you need to move." One of them said, they were around college-aged and clearly full of entitlement. Diesel stepped out of the car and all of a sudden their entire demeanors changed, and I couldn't help but laugh. Diesel was a beautiful black king and I knew weaker women would buckle under his innocent gaze and perfect smile.

"Handle that..." I whispered to him and motioned for Juggernaut to follow me. We spent about an hour in the mall before Diesel caught up to us with a satisfied smile on his face, knowing him he probably managed to set up a threesome for later tonight. They stood by patiently as I tried on different dresses and it wasn't until I picked out this little black dress that they began to shift nervously... Bingo. "I think this is the one, thanks for your assistance." I said smiling.
