"Excuse me, everybody." She stood up and raised her glass.
"Cheers...to us. To you guys. To going further as a family. The things that we do nobody else can. I just want y'all yo know... I love you guys."
"Aww we love you too True." They laughed.
"Hey shut the fuck up I'm making a speech." She splashed some if her champagne on her associate and smiled at him.
"Like I was saying after this fucking knuckle head.." She rubbed his head and messed up his hair, "Interrupted me... We are a family. You are my boys. My fucking killas. And I'd die for you."
"I'd die for you too TC!" They men started to exclaim out all one by one and she smiled.
"Tonight is our biggest heist. And we got this shit. It all goes down tomorrow... at nightfall. So drink and be merry but tomorrow... You go in there and you do what has to be do. For the family."
"For the family." They said all together raising their glasses.
"My boys..." She said smiling.
"Aye True." One of the boys stepped into the private room they had rented out in club NP.
"Tookie..." True said sitting down ask her friend Toby came in. "What's the problem? You look...panicked."
"True your girl... She-"
"What is she doing?" True clenched her champagne glass in her hands.
"She's with this guy."
The room fell silent and all eyes fell on True.
True was known for her temper, it was the reason she'd been able to create such a team of crooks and thieves. It was the reason that all these men listened to her every word.
She sipped from her glass.
"What is she doing with the guy, Tookie?"
"Aye listen True don't let Cyrus ruin our night, come on."
"No-" True said.
"It's a celebration-"
True broke the glass in her hands and threw the remains on the floor.
"Simon..." She said. "You never talk while I'm talking."
"I'm sorry True."
"No I'm sorry. It's not you who I'm upset with. It's her."
"What are you gonna do?" Toby asked her.
True inhaled and exhaled shaking the glass off her hamds.
"I'm going to be nice Tookie. I'm a nice girl. I'm a young lady and young ladies handle matters of the heart with care and sophistication."
"What are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna offer this gentleman one of my bottles." She said grabbing one of the bottles off of the ice.
