Another Moment in the Hood

36

"Baby I'm about to leave." Trill said walking down the steps with his keys in his hand.

"Ok." Cali called back from the kitchen. She was making some sandwiches.

Trill passed the living room where Braeden, Karmen and Kylie sat. They were coloring and Kylie was helping them.

Trill walked in the kitchen and Cali had a Pickel in one hand while the other one was putting the food back in the fridge.

"You made me one?" Trill asked.

"Yea it's right there." Cali pointed to his.

Cali began cutting the sandwiches into four pieces and putting a few apple slices on the plates.

"Y'all going somewhere today?"

"I'm not sure yet, how long you going to be out?" Cali asked.

"Until tonight I got a lot of shit to handle." Trill took a bite of his sandwich and grabbed a bottle of vitamin water. "I'll see you when I get back." He kissed her lips and was about to walk out.

"You missed something." Cali said.

Trill turned around and grabbed his sandwich off the table. "Almost forgot my sandwich, thanks."

"You get on my nerves always playing." Cali shook her head and walked out the kitchen and Trill followed behind her. "Y'all come get your food." Cali called.

A few seconds later the three were coming into the kitchen.

"Sike I'm just playing." Trill grabbed Cali's waist pulling her into him. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too, be safe. Ok?"

"You know I am."

"I'm serious Brandon." Cali said looking in his eyes.

Trill cocked an eyebrow. "I'm am baby. Why you so emotional right now?"

"I'm my just saying." She shrugged.

"Ard. I'll see y'all later. Be good for your mother." I said.

I kissed Karmen's forehead, gave Kylie a five and rubbed Braeden's head.

"Bye daddy." Karmen said waving at him.

"See ya da." Braeden said.

"See you later pops."

Trill made sure he had everything before he left out.

"What's up G." Trill dapped Gunz.

"What's up man? How the fam?" He asked.

"They home. Shit with my family going great right now. It's a few mishaps here and there but overall it's good and I don't want it to change. What's up with you?"

"That's good. I'm happy for you bro, you finally found a woman to do you right and vice versa. I know the both of you going to be forever. Everything seem good with me and Kay. We communicating better and that's all we wanted."

Trill nodded. The two came a long way from their past relations.

After long hours of handling business dealing with out ports of product they was wrapping it up.

"G I'm taking you home?" Trill asked unlocking his car door.

"Yea, Kay ass not going to come out and plus she got lil mama with her."

"Aight that's cool."

They got in and Trill made his way to Gunz house.

"Did I tell you about some lil nigga claiming he taking what's mine?" Trill asked.

"Yea I remember you told me. He real bold foreal." Gunz laughed.

"He ain't taking shit unless I'm dead. And that's not happening no time soon."

Trill approached a red light. The street was pretty much vacant. A car pulled up along side of him. The window rolled down then a gun pointed out of it letting off bullets.

"Shit." Trill yelled grabbing his piece and firing back while pressing down on the accelerator.

"The fuck." Gunz said pulling his out as well.

The car started to chase them down while bullets kept flying.

"Shoot them fucking tires G." Trill said while keeping control of the vehicle.

Gunz held his gun out the window aiming at the tires. He missed a few times but one of the bullets hit it. The car swerved off the road.

"Damn." Trill said turning off the road.

"You think that's Dime?"

"Most likely." Trill said.

He was lucky to not have any bullet injuries.

Cali looked at the time on her phone reading 2 am. She sighed and pulled the cover over her more.

She heard the alarm system then footsteps coming up the stairs. She sat up and watched Trill come in the room looking a little beat up by the little blood droplets on his shirt.

"I know you said you was going to be out late but I didn't expect this late Brandon." Cali said.

"I ran into a detour that led me to get home later than I intended." He said pulling his shirt over his head.

"Brandon." Cali said.

"Cali." Trill mocked her tone.

"This is not ok Trill. You need to take me serious right now."

"Don't I always take you serious Cali? Don't I always tend to your wants and needs? Don't start questioning me now." He slipped off his shoes and pants before walking into the bathroom.

Cali pulled the cover back and followed behind him.

"Im not even questioning you. You know what I'm talking about."

Trill turned the shower water on. "Let me take a shower Cali."

He took his briefs off then stepped in the shower shutting the shower door.
Cali opened the door.

"We're not done talking." She stood there and crossed her arms against her chest.

"Cali it's 2 in the morning and im tired as shit. I can't even keep my eyes open let alone keep my mind going to hold a conversation with you."

"I'm just letting-."

"Do you even got me Cali? You saw the blood but you didn't ask me was I ok instead you trying to argue."

"Now you got to question me? I fucking love you Brandon. Don't ever question me concerning you because you already know how I feel about you." Cali put her hands against his chest pushing him a little. She turned to walk away but before she could Trill grabbed her pulling her into the shower with him.

"Brandon why would you pull me in here." She was now wet.

"I'm just a lil mad right now and I'm tired as fuck so talking to me not the best option."

"Ok. Can I go now?" Cali asked looking up at him.

He looked at her for a few seconds before he let her go. She walked out and went to change her clothes.

Get on my fucking nerves. Cali thought laying back down in the bed.
