I smile reading the good morning text from my boyfriend. He always knows how to brighten my day.

My Man ♥️⛓️

Mornin babygirl I hope you got some good sleep. We got some lit shit goin on this weekend. Hit me when you wake up. I love you Nakiya.

Tommy and I have been together for a year and a half, there's been nothing but good times with him, I never have to worry about anything with Tommy. Unfortunately, like most relationships there are problems, but our problem is different from your average couples.

Tommy and Diamond are one of the biggest connects here in Chicago, and my father is the other. Chicago Brothers Incorporated and Northside Gangsters have been at war for as long as I can remember. My best friends Jenard and Diamond were the heads of CBI, now my man and Diamond are the bosses while Jenard runs the streets.

For years my father has tried to rip apart my relations with CBI, but I'm not in the game so those rules don't apply to me. I go untouched in whichever hood I decide to step in. Nobody's dumb enough to go to war with Pierre's daughter or Tommy's girlfriend.

After checking all my socials and scrolling on TikTok I decided to finally get up and dressed for the day. I quickly shower and do my skincare routine before going to my walk-in closet.

Since I'm spending the weekend on the southside with Tommy all my newest best outfits are already packed in my suitcase. I decided to go with something simple but cute.

After an hour of getting dressed, I look in the mirror admiring myself. I threw on a plain denim skirt with a small slit on the left thigh. The skirt stopped mid-thigh and with the slit, you can barely see the start of my dragon tattoo on my ass and hip. I paired it with a cropped top I picked up from Nordstrom and a pair of Rick Owens. For jewelry I made sure to wear the chain Tommy bought me for our one year and a T initial necklace. Tommy loved letting other niggas know I was his, he would tattoo his name across my forehead if I would let him.

I'm interrupted from my thoughts hearing my phone, iPad, and MacBook all ring at once. I scramble looking for one of them to answer the call. I smile picking up my iPad and seeing who it's from.

"Where you at?" Tommy asks into the phone. I hear a car door slam and the sound of him starting his Mustang.

"At home," I say nervously looking at the clock. It's 11:43 am.

Technically I'm supposed to be halfway to Tommy's house. It takes me about an hour or so with traffic to make it.

"Nakiya." He says sighing.

"I'm sorry. You know how I am." I say throwing all my electronics into my large Telfar bag.

"I knew you was gone be late."

"No, you didn't," I say rolling my eyes.

"I was calling to let you know to meet me at the shop."

"Why?"

"Cause that's where ima be."

"Okay," I say shrugging. I turn off my TV and all the lights dragging my suitcase to my room door.

"Be safe. Hit me later."

"I love you," I reply. As I was leaving my bedroom I run into my annoying ass older brother Renzo.

"I love you," Renzo says mockingly

"I love you too," Tommy says before hanging up.

"Does Dad know your leaving?" He asks blocking my way.
