Guns and Briefcases [A Boondocks Fanfiction]

Her Name is Vanessa

Chapter One: Her Name is Vanessa

"Nigga you cheatin'!"

"Ain't nobody cheatin', nigga! Ya skills is just that weak."

Riley laughed evilly as he and his homeboy, Nico, sat in Nico's living room playing Mortal Kombat. Riley met Nico in high school; Huey had just graduated and was off to college, causing Riley to look for someone new to hassle, and Nico was the new kid on the block. He, aside from Cindy McPhearson, was the only real nigga he knew that was his age; once they all started hangin' out, they became untouchable. Nobody could fuck with them; even more so now that they all were in their early twenties.

Plus, with Nico bein' that type of lightskin nigga that all the girls want to get with, he brought plenty of bitches to the table. But, unfortunately for them, he and Cindy had been dating since they formed their trio. It was awkward for Riley to be the third wheel, but, he got bitches with no problem regardless.

"No! No!" Nico growled and stood from the couch. Riley had been hitting all the right combos, and Nico was struggling to find a way to come back—like he wasn't already near death. He was losing badly, and he didn't like it, and Riley laughed heartily at his expense.

"Aw yeah, nigga!" Riley stood with him, their fingers smashing the buttons on their controllers in tandem. "Take this ass whoopin'—no homo!"

"...Gay as shit," Nico mumbled. He threw the controller once Riley got him with a fatality, and smacked his hand out of his face as he laughed at him.

"Damn Nico! I knew you wasn't no good, but I ain't know you was this bad!"

"I'm not," Nico said defensively. "I was just using the bad controller..."

Riley continued to laugh and waved his hand at him. "Whatever, nigga. Just give me my money."

Nico grumbled under his breath and stormed out of the living room, probably to go get the twenty dollars they'd bet on the game. Riley sighed and slumped back down on the couch. Cindy was supposed to be there soon—she had some tree that she wanted them to spark up, and he couldn't wait. Then, as if on cue, Nico's doorbell rang.

"Riley get the door! I think it's Cindy." Nico yelled from upstairs.

"Aight," Riley yelled back and walked towards the front of the house.

"Took yo ass long enough," Riley said, lough enough for her to hear behind the door as he undid the locks. He threw the door open, coming face-to-face with a smiling, brown-eyed beauty. She was tall, had smooth-looking caramel skin, and long dark hair tied up in a ponytail. Riley looked her up and down, taking in her sweet curves and innocent face.

She definitely wasn't Cindy.

"Uh...Sorry to bother you." Riley looked up at the woman. Her voice was so light. "Does Nicolas Owens live here?"

Nico? Riley cleared his throat. "Yeah, he live here."

The woman smiled with relief. "Oh good. Is he home?"

The fuck? Nico bringin' side bitches to the crib now? Riley smirked at his thoughts and despite himself, he reached for her hand, taking it in his. Her skin was soft. "Who's askin', beautiful?"

The woman chuckled nervously and slipped her hand away from him. "Vanessa."

Damn, her name was just as sexy as she was. "That's a nice name. It's pretty, like you."

"Thank you, uhm... Who are you?"

"Riley, but everybody 'round here call me Young Reezy."

"Oh." Vanessa tried to bite back her bemused smile. (This guy must be joking). "Well, it was nice meeting you...Riley. I think I'll just come by again tomorrow."

She turned to leave when Riley grabbed her hand again. "My bad, shawty. I ain't scare you or nothin', did I?"

Vanessa shook her head. "Oh, no. I'm just kind of in a hurry right now. Could you tell Nicolas that I stopped by, please?"

"Sho' thing, cutie."

Vanessa took back her hand and Riley watched her walk away from the door. His eyes drifted down to her small waist and round ass and he bit his lip, hoping he would be by here tomorrow to see that again.

"Ayo Riley, is that Cindy or nah?" Nico came downstairs and handed Riley the twenty dollars he owed. Riley snatched it from him and stuffed it in his pocket.

"Nah. It was some pretty little thing. You know Cindy bitch ass always late, we might as well just spark up without her." Riley shrugged and was about to shut the door when—

"What you say, nigga?!"

As he was closing the door, Cindy appeared and pushed it back. Riley jumped in surprise. "Damn nigga, where you come from?!"

"What do you mean? I was gettin' us some weed!" Cindy shouted and threw plastic bags full of green herbs at him. She pushed past Riley and went to Nico, kissing his lips like they used to do in the hallways back in school. 

"Ugh, go somewhere else with that shit." Riley growled and walked back to the living room with the weed.

"Don't be mad, Reezy," Nico laughed. "And don't start without us!"

"Shut up!"

Yo! Now I have been wanting to do a Boondocks fanfiction for a long time, and I'm really glad to finally be able to say that I have made one. But, I doubt that anyone on wattpad will read this since the Boondocks isn't that much of a well-known fandom on here, but there's no point in not trying!

I also posted this story on Fanfiction.net under the name stargazer420 (in case anyone cares).

Welp, if you've read this: thanks so very much, and please stay tuned for more!
