Rob Lewis licked his lips as he watched multiple women come in and out of Crowning Glory. He found himself doing this the last few days, waiting for Chris to put him on. He had been cool with the crew for a while, but Chris was stalling. Rob needed work and Chris' crew was a way to get in the game. For some reason, he wouldn't budge.
Instead of moving out of his comfort zone, Rob figured he would just wear Chris down by staying in his face and showing how hungry he was. He went to school with Chris and Davon and legitimately saw the progression of Chris' takeover. Chris came out of nowhere and took over Angel's spot so Rob wasn't sure why he was being so stingy. It was money out there for everybody.
He would have got put on back then but it wasn't a need to. Rob was actually legit on the football field. His mom made sure of it. He played as long as he could remember, was set to go to school on a football scholarship and all. An injury sat him down and messed up his mental.
"You must be bored."
Rob looked to the side to see Cash, Chris' right hand, smirking with her arms folded. Rob rolled his eyes. He had a few encounters with her and they were all filled with attitude. He didn't find that cute.
"Why you say that, shorty?"
"You been out here everyday this week."
He frowned, not knowing how she knew that. "You stalking me?"
Cash smiled, but Rob could tell it was anything but friendly. "You got business with anyone here?"
"Looking for Big C," he said. Cash nodded. "But Capone looking for you."
She frowned. "Who is that?"
He laughed before waving her off. "You know who that is. Don't play my cousin."
"Your cousin as in the kid who goes to school with my sister? He ain't got no reason to look for me."
"He legit," Rob said, not wanting to fight his cousin's battles but wanting to provide a little insight.
"Tell him I said congratulations," Cash said while walking off towards the entrance. Rob smiled as he saw her pull her phone out of her back pocket. He was sure she was telling Chris that he was there.
