The Gangleader

Chapter 2

We pulled up to this house that is full of people and the party is in full swing. I tried to make it a habit to stay in LA and not come to Compton just because of the gang situation.
Nothing against them but I don't think they'll like me much if they know who I am. "Come on, let's go", Nicole said getting out of the car.
        I got out and walked up the path to the door. People were standing outside drinking forties and having a good time.
        We got in and heard some rap music playing. I lost Nicole in the midst of looking around. "Nicole!"
       I see her mingling with everyone and I leave her to be. I'm standing there when I feel some one touch my back.
        "Hey, baby. What's up?", this random dude said to me. I could smell the beer on his breath.
      "Um nothing just hanging out".
      "Hmm, well you wanna come and spend sometime with me?"
        "No thanks. I'm fine right here"
   I tried to walk away but he then blocked my escape. "Come on, I don't bite".
      He started to get closer to me and I started to panic.
         "She said leave her alone"
     I looked to my right to see a short guy with a jherri curl and shades walk over to us.
        "My bad, E. I didn't know this was you", the guy said and quickly walked away.
      I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. That guy was so annoying".
       He chuckled. "It's no problem, baby".
    I looked at him and saw how handsome he was. My, my, my.
        "You enjoying yourself?", he asked me
     I nodded my head. "Yeah. I came here with my friend but I lost her."
       "Is that her over there talking to my boy Dre?"
       I looked over to where he pointed at and saw her sitting in this guy's lap, laughing and talking.
       I laughed. "Yeah that's her alright. They look real cozy".
      He laughed. "Yeah they do".
    It was quiet for a moment with us just listening to music and smiling at each other from time to time.
       "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be boring or awkward. I don't have much experience with talking to guys".
      He chuckled. "It's cool baby. It's sexy that you so shy".
       I blushed. He is something else. "If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"
        "Eric"
I smiled. "Eric. I like it."
He smiled. "Thank you. Can I have yours?"
"Aria"
"Sexy name for a sexy woman", he said looking at me up and down.
