Ima Hold You Down

Chapter 3 - The Drop

 I woke up early this morning just to make sure i was set. Yeah , it''s most likely only gonna take a day but still. You can't slack when it comes to making drops. Drops can go good or bad no in-between.Checking my alarm clock i noticed it was 8:20 my niggas should be here any minute. "Baby how long you gonna be gone" Bre said somewhat waking up. "i dont know but i hope you do good on yo test" i said spraying cologne on my body. "Thanks babe , you smell good" she replied. "i know" i said "Don't get cocky nigga .. im going back to sleep bye baby" she said getting comfortable once again. I kissed her forehead and left our bedroom heading into the living room.

A knock at the door , took me out of my train of thought. Looking through the peephole i saw Denzel & Truth? "Uhhh wassup?" i said opening the door referring to Truth being hereinstead of Aaron. "Asia's sick so Aaron's taking care of her , Raheem checking on the lil niggas , King's gonna visit his mom today" Denzel replied. "Ohh " was all i said In-order to get in Miami in the afternoon we needed to catch a plane. My dad has a jet , so we decided to save a lil money and use that. Also , it's safer then driving wit hella drugs in yo trunk all the way to Miami or tryna take a public plane feel me ?

Maybe about 2ish we landed in Miami , all of had taken naps so we should be good and ready for business.

"Uhhmm , do you usually wait here or what" i asked the pilot confused

"Yeah , always !" he replied

"Ight , well it should take a hour and a half tops , thank i appreciate it" i replied

"Anything for the Yates" he replied

We caught a cab to the Address this dude told me to meet him at , i needa remember his name. What was it ? Luigi Filipio .. this guy was known ! Suprisingly , he wanted to check out what i had in stock. I have NO problem with that. The money was just right to , soon me & Bre will be living in a ery secure house! Money is all im thinking bout' As we pulled up to this dudes house i think , i realized how BIG it was. Reminded me of them mansions you see on MTV cribs. I knew all of us was suprised cause we all just looked at it amazed. One day me & Bre will have something like this.

"Ight , ya'll ready ?" i asked taking the "suitcase" out the taxi trunk

"Ready whenever you are" Truth replied

"Let's be as proffesional as possible ight ? I dont want him thinking he can run over us cause we from Chicago . Or for him to think we ghetto ight?" i said before knocking

2 buffish men opened the door , Dante ? they asked I nodded my head. After patting me and my boys down they sent us on our way. We ended up infront of 2 big wooden doors opening into his loft. 2 men were behind  these doors , once again they patted us down. Finally we saw Luigi. He was a built man , a mustache but he was bold. Italian was my first thought of him.

"Dante , wassup ?" he said offering me and my boys a seat

"Nice to finnally meet you" i replied

Lighting a cigar he began to speek "Your so young yet so talented" "i need people like you and your crew"

"Thanks sir , we try" i said

"Yeahh , who are they ?" he asked

"this is Denzel & Truth , Denzel & me been friends since diapers . Truth is one of our best workers" i replied proud of my boys

"Dont trust everybody son , i've had dudes turn on me that have been workiing for me 20 plus years crazy how they turn when you've been putting clothes on there backs" he said

"i feel you , people have done that to my pops i alwas got my guard up tho" i replied remenising

"Anyways , you got that ?" He asked

I nudged Truth and he put the suitcase ontop of ole dude's desk , Sniffinf it he began to smile.

"Tell your connect , he good " he said picking up another suitcase lifting it ontop of his desk.

"I hope to see you go far son , remember what i said ight ? Branch out further .. chicago isn't the only place you should take over start off smal and you'll end up big. That's how i got like this , originally i started in Sacremento then i branched to Compton and some other cities in California. Next big state for me was Arizona see nobody really talks about certain states and cities. But those secret ones are the ones with the most income. Just learn somethin from me , you never know you may become as big as me" he said

"Much love i preciate' everything you just said" i said giving him a manshake taking the suitcase and leaving. Ya'll probably like why he aint count the money , but the way it felt while i was picking it up told me it was just right. The plane flight back to Chicago was coo , i slept.

Around maybe 7 we was all back home safe and sound , Bre was upstairs studying. I'm proud that my baby's gonna have something to fall back on. If she wanted to she could be my partner in crime in these streets. Having a career is better than this , that way my kids can see that at least one of there parents actually doing something. "Baby how was miami ?" she asked as i went into our bedroom. "Dude was real coo " i replied "I got you some bath water ran , take yo musty ass in the tub" she joked "You know damn well i aint musty yo babe stay fresh !" i replied stepping closer to her. "Mmmmmm " she replied i kissed her and then went to take a bath. After i got out i must admit i was horny .... "Babbbbyyyy ..." i trailed off wrapping my arms around her waist. "Wassup" she tryna sound thug ! "Miss me ?" i asked 'I always miss you " she replied going into the bed "Come lay with me" she said i snuggled with her playing wit her curls.. After a while i heard her soft snores. Ugghhh i thought
