A Thugs Love

Chapter 4 The Dealer

Today marks are 6 month anniversary, I didnt think we would last this long with all the arguing and making up. I thought id loose my mind, but I didn't thank the Lord all Mighty. I havent seen him in 2 days, I started to get worried. I called his phone he would answer letting me know he was fine. I called up Quincy asking him if he wanted to go get some frozen yogurt. I drove over to TutiFrutti, and waited for him while chowing down on my frozen yogurt.

"Boo!" He said popping from around one of the tree.

"Get over here. Got me waiting for you and you is hiding behind a tree." I said laughing waving him over to the open seat.

"How you been?" He said.

"Ive been alright im making it. What about you?" I said.

"Its been good. Got a business going." He said.

"Thats amazing, as amazing as this yogurt is." I said we both laughed, Quincy and I could talk for hours. To bad we didnt have that much time.

"Sorry but I got to get back to work. Ill talk to you later." he said waving goodbye. When I got home it was dark, I was angry because I thought I forgot to pay the light bill, when I started searching for a flashlight I notice candle light coming from my room. I peeked my head in to see Ricky laying across the bed smiling at me when he seen me. He got up looking amazing black, and blue suit. My favorite colors.

"Happy 6 months." He said handing me a glass of Champigne.

"Happy 6 months to you to." I said smiling at him, we danced, we laughed we had an amazing time until to doorbell rang. He asked me to wait in the room, and no to leave until he came back. I sat there, for about 5 hours the candles had burnt out, the roses had fallen apart, and I took my happy behind to bed making sure to lock my room door.

In the morning I woke up and heard unfamiliar voices, in my livingroom. I thought it was just the tv, no it was a group and guys sitting around my coffee table. Ricky dashed us and pushed me back into the room.

"Your night gown is short, I dont want the guys looking at you like that go put on some pants please." He said walking me toward the closet, I put on a pairs of pants with a white v-neck. I went back outside of the room, the guys were gone and so was Ricky. I'd realized theyd' gotten grass all on my carpet, I went to clean it up it wasnt grass. It was...

　

"Weed! What is weed doing in my house Ricky!" I said throwing the bag of the drug i collected off my carpet.

"I...' I cut him off.

"Who were those men?" I said I fueled with fury, i didnt want no crack head as a boyfriend. Or a Husband. I rambled on and on until he told me to shut up, i looked at him like he was dumb he apologized.

"Listen! Alright! The weed isnt mine." He said.

"You expect me to believe that!" I said popping up from the couch.

"Sit down and let me explain." He said pointing the the couch. "As I was saying it isn't mine its my clients." He said. He was a drug dealer. I could handle that, he'd be in and out of jail. Might even get killed.

"How long..' I asked.

"What?" He said confused.

"How long you been selling Ricky?" I said looking up at him.

"7 years now." He said putting his head down. Secrets.

"I cant do this. I've dated guys like you. I dont have time to worry about you 24/7." I said getting up.

"You havent met anybody like me. My father started these streets, and he put me out there by myself. With my last name I was king. I worked to were I got, now my father is nothing anymore. I own these streets. I AM KING! I am Top. With me baby you dont have to worry about anything. I will cater to your every need, you wont be left a night were you sleep by yourself." He said holding me in his arms, i thought to myself the word Top rang repeatedly.

"You got to give me time." I said. "This is alot. I want to make sure that I want to get into this before I turn and try and change my mind and its to late." I said his arms droped and he gave me a kiss then left. I flopped on the couch in deep though it was alot to go over and in a small amount of time. Days went by even weeks, he would call but I wouldnt answer it took Rachel coming over to knock me out of my thoughts.

"What is wrong with you?" She said slamming a pillow against my face.

"Did you know he dealed?" I asked her praying for the truth.

"Yeah. I didnt think it would matter. I mean Josh does it and I dont mind he's Ricky right hand man." She said sitting next to me on the couch.

"How do you do it?" I asked.

"As long as you know he loves you he'll come back. Ricky loves you girl you can see it anywhere, and everywhere. He would die for you, his life style shouldnt change what yall got. Just call him and talk about it." she said, I smiled giving her a hug i knew exactly what do to, but first I have to get ready. I got ready and jumped into my car, I drove over to his house and rang the door bell, when he opened the door I jumped on him he smiled at me.

"I guess youre not mad anymore." he said, we stared into each others eyes. "I love you Angel." The magic words, that took me to another planet.

"I love you too." I said with tears in my eyes, I was ready for this life i'd already put myself in so deep.
