Karma 3

Luis

Since Shamira died shit ain't been the same. I've been angrier and wanted Dre's head for what he did to my sister and I wanted Nani's head for betraying my sis .I was big on loyalty and I can see there's some people didn't have the same level. This is where my world and they are all I got . You hurt them ,you hurt me.  Living in this corny ass town you come across a lot of Goofies. I miss Brooklyn and I miss my sisters. My baby mama been acting nutty I haven't seen Julio or Tyria in years Shit been rough. Long hours at the mill whatever money I get to my sister Giana since her boyfriend Jaytwan been locked up for armed robbery.  Other than working I be on my lonely. I walked to a corner store and bumped into a thick brown skinned girl as I was walking in. She had her hair in long black braids and AirPods in her ear.
"Damn I'm sorry beautiful." I smiled.
"It's okay." I said . She had a little girl following behind her. She was the prettiest little girl besides Tyria and my nieces that I ever seen.
"What's your name ?"
"Quenaesia but people call me Nae." She smiled.
"I'm Luis can I get ya number?" I asked smiling.
"6102511078." She said.
"It's on imma text you." I said walking into the store . I ordered and cheesesteak then headed home. I only moved down here because my homie Cortez moved here and talked about making good money at the mill. This town is awe and it's only a few decent bitches around here. I was tryna not get distracted but some company wouldn't be bad.  I was almost to my door when my phone started ringing. It was my brother Tony.
"Yo bro."
"Aaliyah's home and she wanna rap to you. You gonna have to come home."
"Aight I'll take the train up just pick me up from the station."
"It's on."
I hung up and walked into my apartment. Pictures of me and Shamira hung on the wall . We only dealt with each other for a few months but I was in love with her and she had a nigga hurting when she went back to Keon. If she had stayed with me he wouldn't have drove her to that point. Maybe things would've been different .

I poured myself some liquor and sat down to watch tv. I kept thinking about Quenaesia. She was beautiful but i knew i would be no good to her. I texted her anyway just to see where her mind was at.

Me:Wassup wassup its luis

Quenaesia: Heyy

Me: You fine as fuck...I'm tryna get to know you..do you have a man?

Quenaesia: Nah i'm single...hbu

Me:Same..so i'm off friday you tryna go out to eat?

Quenaesia: Sounds like a plan

Luis :Cool

Quenaesia: Where you tryna go?

Luis:There's this pizza place on second or we can come back to my crib and i can cook sum

Quenaesia: You can cook??

Luis:Yeah i can cook! Lol never met a nigga that can cook before?

Quenaesia: Nah i actually haven't til now

Luis:Well come by on friday i live on maple and we eat and watch a movie

I smiled and put my phone on the charger. It's been almost 7 months since i last had sex. I wanted to actually settle and something consistent. I know nobody could ever take Shamira's place but i definitely wanted a girl in my life. I took a shower then climbed in bed and thought about Cashe and how fucked up our family has begun. Since Cashe died my nephew Savone been staying with my dad or with Giana . I gotta be around them more and my own son Julio. When i get my money right i'm taking Julio and Tyria's moms to court. I miss my kids. I drifted off to sleep , dreaming of nothing but a heart full of wishes and worries. When i got up in the morning i wasn't feeling good so i called out. I walked around town for a little just to do something when my phone starting buzzing. It was Aaliyah.

"Baby bro when you coming up here?"She asked

"Soon sis wassup?"

"You know Tyria's mom been asking for you she in here for petty theft."She said

"That's crazy cuz i've been trying to get ahold of her."

"Well she here and i get out soon so imma be needing you up here soon to help me with some shit."

"I got you i got you."

"Times up.  love you."

"Love you more.'I said hanging up."

I got some snacks from the corner store and taking nae more. Time was just time to me.
