Who is Mek?
I chuckled to myself. I knew when I said that I was going to die.
Mek wasn't the problem, his brother Lek was. Mek is 20 and Lek is 21 or 22. He wasn't a concern of mine so I didn't care for how old he was.
Lek and Jody had some type of beef. I don't know why. At some point of time we were all cool and all lived in the same building. One summer when I wasn't talking to Jody, Lek shot at him. The bullet missed him by an inch. Since then they have always had beef.
Mek wasn't like his mother or his siblings. He has aspirations just like I. He is going to college, he doesn't deal, and he got a full ride to a school. He is hood but he wants something more. So what's wrong with me talking to him?
"Girl you can't do that?" Tika said
"Why not. It not like I have to be loyal to Jody anymore"
"Yes you do. That's playing with the devil and trying to get someone killed" Tika said
"So now Jody dictates my love life too?"
"No in this life all you have is loyalty and your word is bond" Tika said
"You are right. I don't want the kid. I never looked at him like that. That was why I was surprised when he came up to ask for my number."
"You act like I wasn't standing right there with you. You was talking about colleges and he was like can I have your number. Now he wants ya to talk. I'm sorry I'm with the boys. That does not sound right. Why wait all this time to finally talk to you now?" Tika
"You are right Tika. Thanks. I'm done but my wall needs to be fixed and so does my door."
"Come stay with me. You know you are always welcome and I get lonely being by myself anyways."
"Ight Ti, I'm about to get ready to come over. I will see you soon."
30 Minutes later I was leaving. I sent Juels a text telling him that I would be at Tika'a until I felt like it. I walked out the door and was locking it when this dude was coming out Jody house. He looked kind of familiar but I knew I didn't know him. I finished locking the door and grabbed my bag and he followed me to the elevator.
"Ria you must not remember me"
"No who are you?"
"Ice"
I looked at him confused. He laughed
"Jamal, Jody brother. You always played in my hair."
I smiled and gave him a hug. He walked me to my car. We exchanged numbers and caught up.
Ice just got out for getting caught with CoCo. He had cut his hair off in jail and he was Jody younger brother, but they had a baby brother that thought I was his boo
