"Shit I was on the couch. Lay told me come get in ya bed cause you wasn't here."
"Oh she did?"
"Yeah. Ask her."
Taj looked at me stupid.
"Why would I wake her up Ray?"
I shook my head and laid back down.
"So I'm gone ask again. Where you been?"
She blew her breath.
"Minding my business."
I chuckled.
"Don't make me hurt you lil girl."
"Can I go to sleep or nah?"
"Nah. I wanna talk."
She shifted around until she got comfortable.
"Well I don't."
I sat up leaning on my elbows.
"Why you always giving me a hard time."
She turned over and looked at me.
"Cause you full of shit Ray. You been tryna sweet talk me since you started hanging with my brother bout 4, 5 years ago. I've watched you dog out this girl, this girl, and that girl. You think I want that? And you still fuck with Quita."
My heart sunk.
She's right. I've done so many females wrong and Taj has seen it all. But the way I want her I haven't wanted no other female.
I've wanted Taj since I first saw her when I first linked up with Quan.
But she won't give me a chance.
"Those other girls weren't you Taj. I want you in a whole different way. I see you in my future, I see you being mine. Its something about you I can't explain it."
She sat all the way up.
"You don't want a girlfriend like me Ray. I don't play and I don't put up with bullshit."
"That's what I need. Tired of bitches letting me do what I want. I need a girl on my ass all the time."
She laid back down.
"Mhm. You say that now."
I laid back down and closed my eyes.
I don't even remember falling back to sleep but I woke up with Quan standing over us.
"Fuck you doing in my sister bed?"
I looked over to see Taj still sleep.
"She wasn't here so Lay told me get off the couch and come in here. She came home bout 5 this morning. Nun happen nigga chill."
He stared at me for awhile before he busted out laughing.
"Go dry ya panties, I'm playing. I told Lay to get you off the couch before Trell got home. He be bitching bout that couch. Go shower and get dressed. We got shit to do."
He walked out as I sat up and looked around for my phone.
Four missed called from Quita.
Shit !
After showering I got dressed in Taj room while she was still sleep. I put on my black Nike jogging suit, white vest, black/white timbs, and black Nike beanie.
I sprayed on my Polo cologne and pulled my dreads in a ponytail before putting my beanie on.
I checked to see if Taj was still sleep before I got my gun from under her bed.
Before I left I put $100 on her pillow with a note.
Its more where this came from. Get your rest sleeping beauty.
