Beauty and the beast

"Aye I'm done man you got it. You wanna go back and forth bout this stupid shit, you ain't finna hurt my head today." Dae shook his head. "How is it stupid shit? All I'm saying is I want you to stop doing what you doing." "Stop hustling and do what?" "I don't know." I shrugged. "Exactly." He turned around and kept bagging the money. "You talked about starting yo own record label, what happened to that?" "And that's in the works, we getting shit done but right now selling dope and bussing heads is what's paying the bills so that's what imma keep doing."

"But you remember the dream I had? When I was literally crying and screaming in my fucking sleep? That shit felt too real, I keep getting a feeling something bad is gone happen to you!" "Bae I promise nothing is gone happen to me okay? I gotta go pay everybody and check on shit, I'll be back later I love you. Call me if y'all need anything." He kissed my lips. "You can't guarantee that." He picked the bag up and started walking out the room.

"Daeshawn I'm trying to talk to you." I followed him out the room. My heart beating faster and faster each step he took towards the front door. "I know princess and I'm sorry but I got shit to handle, I'll be back later." He sighed. "Boy if you walk out that door me and the boys gone be gone when you get back." I crossed my arms over my chest. "I'll be back before you know it. Remember what I said, I love y'all." And out the front door he went.

I just stood there silently, looking and feeling stupid as fuck. "Okay." I nodded, tears sitting at the brim of my eyes. "BOYS!" I yelled towards the stairs. I started hearing doors open. "Yes?" Mason peeked over the railing. "Put some night clothes and hygiene stuff in a bag." I looked up at them. "Where we going?" Jaquan raised his right eyebrow. "We going to Mani house." They nodded and went back to their rooms. I grabbed my phone and called Armani. "Hey sisterrrr." She sung in the phone. "Hey beautiful. Is it okay if me and the boys come over there?" "Of course! You never have to ask."

"Okay the boys grabbing some night clothes and then we coming right over." "Okay I love y'all, be safe. I can't wait for y'all to get here." "Thank you sis, I love you too." I went upstairs and grabbed my LV never full. I stuffed some underwear, a bra, and a long sleeve cotton pajama set. I slipped my feet in some slides and grabbed my everyday purse. "Boys y'all ready?" I shouted. All of them started coming out of their rooms.

           I grabbed my car keys out the bowl on my way out the door. I waited for all the boys to come out then I locked up. Jaquan opened the trunk and put everybody's bag in there. Jaquan connected his phone to the Bluetooth before I pulled out the long driveway. Maybe I'm being tripping. I can be very over dramatic at times. My thoughts ate me up all the way to Walmart. "Okay imma get something to cook for dinner, y'all can pick up whatever y'all want." I told the boys as I parked.

           "But please remember I'm not Dae, please don't break my pockets." "So in other words you broke." "What?" My mouth fell open as we got out. "I'm just saying, is you broke best friend?" Marquis folded his arms. "Compared to y'all brother? Hell yeah." I grabbed his hand and started walking. "It's okay, save yo money sis." Mason laughed. All them started cracking up. "Tuh, y'all got me fucked up. Like I said, pick up whatever y'all want." I grabbed a cart as we entered the store.

           The boys ran off and grabbed their own cart while I grabbed the stuff I wanted to make for dinner. I seen this pasta recipe on tik tok and I've been DYING to try it! I went to the pasta aisle and grabbed three boxes of rigatoni noodles and a jar of Alfredo sauce. I picked up mushrooms, spinach, air dried tomatoes, stuff to make homemade sauce, chicken, shrimp, and garlic bread. I got me and the boys a couple cartoon's of juice and some wine for Mani.

I grabbed some snacks I want then called Jaquan. "Where y'all at?" "Ice cream aisle." "Okay stay there I'm coming." I looked at the tik tok and made sure I got everything that the girl had. Once I was done I walked to the ice cream aisle, the boys were leaning on the cart waiting for me. "Y'all got everything I wanted?" I looked down at the cart. It wasn't as full as I thought it would be. All of them nodded. "Y'all sure? Y'all ain't wanna grab no games or nothing?" "We got Uno and stuff at Mani house, and I do plan on spanking y'all ass." Quan looked at all us.
