Arrangement : with the gang leader

60

Matilda. Matilda. Matilda. Who the fuck are you.

I can't get her out of my head. She's been the only thing I think about for the past week. When Damien asks me, I just tell him I feel stressed out by everything that's happening around me. I know he can see I'm bullshitting but he just brushed it off. 

Today I'm going to see T. It's ben a while and she hasn't unblocked me yet. 

I asked Nelly to bring her over to her place so that we could talk things out. I've already apologized to Nelly and obviously, she knows everything that's been going on because of Gumbi and always being at our place so her and I are cool and been cool.

Entering Nelly's, I begin to feel the nerves rushing through me. I've fucked up and I can acknowledge that. 

"Hey bestie..." I drang out nervously and she gets up. 

"Oh hell nooo!" she says, grabbing he bag ready to leave. 

"You set me up Nelly? I expect that from a lot of people but you my sweet sweet bug?" she says and Nelly bites her lower lip. 

"I'm sorry but you guys really need to sort things out Tumi. You can't just keep avoiding each other. Plus, I want to chop gist in peace na and not have to bite my tongue about the others gist" she says and I look at T accusingly. 

"You're hiding shit from me? Which gist is she talking about?" I ask and T just rolls her eyes. 

" Oh like how you're hiding shit from me too? You're such a hypocrite," she says and I nod. 

"But you can't be like me. You have to be the bigger person hao" I say delusionally so. 

"Wahlanya wena waisti?" she says and I laugh. 

"Baby, I'm sorry okay. I'll tell you everything." I say and she sits down. 

"Okay shup. Nelly, this stays between us." I say because I know I'm about to spill more than the guys know and so more than she knows too. 

"So, Ade tried to have me trafficked and sold to the highest bidder. I then kidnapped, tortured and killed her. Then there's the letter thing that you already know and I can't figure it out and then the shooting which by the way I'm okay thanks for asking mxm." I say and she has her jaw to the floor while Nelly just looks neutral because she already knew this. 

"The other information I will have to tell you when we get to where we are going because I can't risk any of the guys knowing this stuff for now." I say and Nelly's ears perk up. 

"There's more?" she questions. 

"Nelly, girls before foes" I say and she nods. 

"I swear on my life" she says and we nod in agreement. 

"Well, you already know where my loyalty stands. With or without these motherfuckers we're locked in for life. Which is why this shit piss me off" she says and I nod in understanding. 

"I'd like to join the sisterhood. I've never really had real sisterhood or a friendship like you guys have. The only source of loyalty I know is Gumbi so if ever, God forbid him and I breakup then it's back to just me." Nelly says and my heart goes out to her. 

Nelly has become such a good friend throughout this whole time of me knowing her and I trust her so I don't mind her being our other best friend and I know her and T get along quite beautifully so I know she won't mind. 

"T? What do you say? because I'm cool with it, no pressure" I say still wanting her to confirm with her own lips because one thing about my friend? She is possessive of me and I know she is not afraid to say no if she doesn't fuck with the idea.
