No Time For a Thug

Just The Beginning Pt . 2

De'Marcus P.O.V

Lunch with crystal was nice. We just laughed, talked, and got to know each other. She's really chill but she's distant, I feel like there's something she's holding bacc on . Right now I'm taking her home and we haven't said a word to each other.
" ma you coo ? You seem like its a lot on yo mind . "
" yea I'm fine . It's this house right here thanks . " I got to get her number.
" wait lemme get yo number . "
" fine. Hand me your phone . " We exchanged phones and I put mg name in as ' baby ' and she put hers in as ' not even friend ' I don't know why she stay tryna do me she know she want me . Ma got out the car and I waited till she was safely in the house before pulling out and heading to the trap . I got some business to handle. About for hours later I got home and showered and decided to text my girl . Wtf was I saying ? I don't want a girl I'm tryna focus on thus money.

* end of convo *

Why have I not changed that boys contact name I silently asked myself while walking down stairs to eat with my mamma . Altough my daddy had passed we were set . My mamma was his Bonnie and held shit down for a while before turning it over to my uncle . My mammas a good one and makes sure I'm always set . I walked downstairs to see my mama had went all out she had fried chicken macaroni greens and some more. People always say for a white woman my mamma could cook and they never lied . I don't know anyone from my moms side of the family cause once they found out my mamma was with a black man they disowned her. My parent were rocking since the seventh grade and nobody could tell them anything .
" Ma I need a new car "
" alright baby I'll see what I could do . Who was that boy you were with? "
" just De'Marcus. He gave me a ride . " My mamma started choking on her food .
" you mean De'Marcus Johnson? "
" I mean ig , how you know him?. " She then went into great detail on how his mom kicked him out and was strung out so my parents took him in and ig introduced him to the game and now he's the highest person right under my uncle or however that works . That's just another fantastic reason why we could only be friends. I went up stairs to shower and I had 2 missed ft calls and and 3 missed calls all from De'Marcus . I decided to call him back

Damn it . Damn it . Damn it . I don't like where this is going . I get butterflies at the sound of his name. I love hearing his voice and I miss his cute little laugh . Wtf are you saying crystal ? He's a thug !

* one week later *
My mom got me a car its a blue range rover . I've been avoiding De'Marcus. He's called and texted me at least a hundred times and has leaves messages with my mom . There was knock at my door then in came my mom with a bunch of roses . She sighed and sat on my bed .
" honey please talk to that boy he obviously likes you baby . "
" ma , he's a thug and I can't have myself going through that pain of losing someone else to the game . "
" please just talk to him " and with that she left. Today was Saturday and I have volleyball practice so I'll call after that and talk to him .

Practice went really well I'm headed home to shower and wash up then I'll call .

* phone call *

Hello

You been avoiding a nigga lately?

Look we gotta talk can you come over ?

Bet .

* end of convo *
Lord, I need to tell him I don't want nothing to do with him I think I'm starting to get a little crush . It's been about thirty minutes and in walks Marcus.
" ayee ma , what's up witcha ? You been dodging a nigga . "
" look Marcus you're a thug . I do not do those. Thugs just aren't for me . I lost my daddy three years ago tobthag shit . Ig by now you know who he is since you saw my moms . I just didn't think its wise to pursue this friendship or anything else , so no one gets hurt in the long run . "
" Look Crystal your dad was a great , fantastic person. Why you ain't tell me who he was ? The momment I laid eyes on you I felt some. You weren't like the rest , I just knew I had to get you . Your pops always said I would marry his little girl one day and he made you out to be so grate and now I see what he was talking about . As soon as I find the the people responsible for your fathers death I'm out of the game . Please just give me the time of day . "
" Do you honestly think I was proud of what my father did ?!? That's not something I walk around screaming okay ? I am truly sorry but my father was wrong I refuse to marry anyone that has something tobdi with the game . And its been three damn years since they killed my daddy what makes you think you'll find them ? I'm sorry I think you should go . " I was on the verge of tears just thinkimg bout how my daddies gone . Marcus swooped down and kissed my cheek and was about to leave before he turned around and said,
" I will not give up ... bye ma . "
