"I see you made your way to queens though" She mushes my head with aggression making me softly chuckle.

It was a hot summer day in the projects and the courtyard was filled with kids running around, a loud dice game and music coming from a stereo in the middle of it all.

It was early spring but Summertime NY was slowly approaching around the corner.

"Yo chill I was over there with Maisen taking care of some business, and I texted you before I went to sleep" I point out cause that had to count for something, I usually didn't even do that.

"Yea whateva, don't tell me you coming and have me waiting up again, it's mad inconsiderate of you" I slyly smirk watching her wall crumble as she cuddles into my side.

In my peripheral I see maise waving me over from the dice game and I wrap my arm around her ready to seal the deal.

"I gotta go make this move real quick but I'ma hit you later so answer aight?" I look down at her and by the look in her eyes I could tell she wanted to take up some of my time to do other things.

"When don't I answer? You better be in my bed before the days over cardi I'm not playing" She sends an empty threat but I let her feel like I felt the pressure nodding my head.

"I got you drek, I'll see you later" I press a kiss to her temple before letting her go walking over to the dice game.

"I still can't believe you cracked, she stuck up as hell" My friend Quise says as I approach the circled group.

"She stuck up cause she didn't let you fuck" I chuckle as everybody else laughs.

"Facts" My friend Khalil agrees laughing.

"Get on the dice I need to shake back bro" Maisen practically begs.

"This nigga called in reinforcements" Rory jokes making everybody laugh.

I pull a wad of money out my pocket counting what I had, it was a good 5k but it wasn't gambling money I actually had plans for this shit.

"We bouta double it" Maise says putting that battery in my back.

"Let me shoot but it's a band to talk to me" I throw the money down and more comes down with it, the dice game really starting now.

Crouching down I pick up the dice shaking them around in my hands a few times making sure all bets were down before letting them go with a snap.

"Let's get this fucking money baby!" Maise smiles scooping up the pot on my behalf cause I was in that mode, he knew to put my money in one pocket and keep his in the other.

"Alright bet" Rory throws down 2k and I smirk scooping the dice back up.

I roll for twenty minutes straight emptying pockets.

"Damn! Maise ya sister need to quit playing and get with a real nigga" Q says and I look over seeing her walking over with her two little friends.
