chapter 10

I wook up the next morning to the sound of imany throwing up.
I walked over to the bathroom half awake and hold her hair up.
"You good?" I ask her.
" no, hang over as hellll". Yeah no duhh.
After helping her clean up and getting her some medicine i go to make breakfast.
I make a tray for me and king to take to his room.
He was sleeping with the blinds on and everything dark ad hell so i put down the food and open the blinds wide.
" damnn," he says sleepy like. " why you gotta do all that?"
" because its morning"
He yawns and look over at the food "oo someones in a good mood"
" yeah ill start working tonight"
" why you didnt come sleep with big daddy yesterday?"
" whatever, i was with imany so go on somewhere"
He walks past me and smacks my butt and walks into the bathroom.
"Do that again" i say squaring up "i dare you"
"You aint gone do shit" he says brushing his teeth.
"Dont test me kid " i playfully punch him
" i see you trying to be slick, you know what this gon lead us somewhere with you moaning my name kid ."
"Whatever boy."
" yo.. Are you going to come to my game?"
"You know it!, but i gotta leave for work when it ends"
"Alright you can shake whatever as long as you leave with me at the end of the day kid"
"Now you just sound like me"
I leave for class and at 7:00 i head to the game to watch my baby #24. The game was supper fun and they ended up winning. Tbh i didnt know king was that good at football. We went to play basketball ball and hes tall ass got dunked on by my short ass. I remenber back in the days when everyone and theire mother though i was going to become a ball player, they didn't know i had other plans. I just wanna rule the world not the court. Imma be that girl as sneaky and dirty as a drug lord but as powerful as an old, rich, white man. I always had power wherever i went. In Chicago i was known to be karma the queen. I run alot of the behind scenes on the drugs, alot of people didnt fuck with me but they didnt know about me. All they knew was i was not to be mess with. I walk in the parking lot and saw a pink envelope on my car. I pick it up and sat down in the car to read it
No escape, we will have our way.
We always do.
I look at the treat in my hands and looked realizing that i couldnt just excape.
With all the shit back home i had to have enemies some way closer then they needed to be. Some that didnt know me as a person but recognize my work. You see im not a bad kid but in the place im from they was only one way out. And it wasnt just school. You see people like me have to hacke shit, steal shit, get someone "accidentally" killed. Im not proud of my past, but when youve been walked on by people that are supposed to love you. You become heartless.
The treat didnt scare me as much of the fact that i knew i couldnt continue trying to be clean. I had to resort to my old ways.
I call king just to make sure nothing was wrong on his side.
"Hey babe,"
"Hey hows the celebration? For your big win?"
" haha, you cant be serious right now" he said laughing "why did you really call?"
"No reason, cant i call to check up on you? "
"Nah usually you too focus on school to be deep into me"
"Oh wow its not even like that king"
"Nah it's cool you need to focus"
I ended up going to the club and meet up with imany.
As always her body was on point. I saw her having a conversation with jorden.
I didnt want to interrupt them so i walked into the joint and saw the strippers on the stage. In less them an hour i would be up there. I study the most liked perfomers from the back and saw exactly what i needed to be doing. So i walk back in the dressing room and changes into my show outfit. I do my makeup and wore a sexy old times mask.
As soon as i step on thay stage i became the basketball player the singer, the actress and the dancer. All i knew was competition and even though this wasnt a competitions, i wanted to win it all. I dance to several amazing dances. It was like the pole was made just for me. As i danced i felt hella cash being flipped by drug dealers because there money was always smelling like that stank. Rappers because they always wore shades because apparently the sun was always up.and of course baller because they asses are either tall or big sometimes both. But one thing they all had in common was money lots and lots of money !! It wasnt even about me at times, they drug dealers were just showing off to the ballers amd rappers that they had money as well. Everyone was competing and i work that shit to my advantage. My last dance was a tall lighskin guys in a suit. Now that shit is weird. A suit meant important and dont get there hands dirty rulling out any realation handling drugs, so he didnt sell it. He was mysterious meaning he wasnt a rapper, they the niggas that will tell you they killed someone. They was only ome option. A drug king pin. My whole body  was shaking  and i turn to old me. I lead him to the private room and  started dancing on him. Of everyone in the place he wanted me, meaning they was business. As far as i know drug king pins didnt just come to strip clubs. They had women on top of women to strip for them, i knew id walked right into my old life. How? I dont know. Everything was to get away.
He stops me from dancing and whisper in my ears " hello karma "
I wonder how the hell he knew that and figured someone from my old gang must have leaked private info.
But then he chuckle and pionted at the small five dots on my knuckles. It was a tattoos all the important people from the gang i was part of had. Only tree people had this and knew of it. Mike, amir and chres.
