Street Lights (when a thug loves)

The meeting pt. 2.5

Tay'sha

"Erik what are you doing here how'd you know where I live?" I asked

"That's what I came here to talk to you about.....so can we talk? its raining and freezing out here " he said

"O-ok C-come in" I stuttered inviting him in.

Erik walked in my house in an all black fit like he just came from killing somebody. "I thought you didn't know where my door was, how'd all of a sudden you just pop up?"

"I lied" he said quickly "actually ever since Jason and t-knock got shot I've been following you from school to work and here night and day"

"Whaaat?!" I screamed "Erik get the fuck out my house I don't want nothing to do with you!" I said walking over to the phone.

"Wait what you doin?!" He asked

"What the fuck does it look like I'm doing?! I'm calling the cops I don't know why I let you in" I yelled walking over to the phone

"Wait!! Let me explain!" He yelled snatching the phone out my hands "I been trying to tell you I've been following you only for your own good Tay'sha, like I told you before it might not be today, tomorrow , or the next day after that but bird is out to get you and I've been watching you just in case something happened I'd already prepared to pop off!" He screamed

I couldn't do nothing but stare at him, I was at lost of words I mean literally ain't shit come out my mouth I was shocked. This meant bird was getting closer and we weren't doin nothing about I was scared for my life. Is this what I get for falling for a dopeboy?.

"Tay'sha sit down, these niggas are on our trail. Just the other day I spotted them west palm boys circling around the city lurking and I'm pretty sure they were looking for the both of us but you were at work and I was ducked off-"

"But, you were following me, watching me" I stuttered cutting him off. We were sitting facing each other with the little table in between us.

"Yes I followed you, yes I was watching you but it was legit, Tay you only carry a taser and mace in your damn car them niggas will walk right pass that shit, Tay it was only to protect you I promise you know I can't ever hold grudges against the ones I love especially you Tay" he said catching eye contact with me.

Did he really just say that? I thought to myself.

"So what now? I mean I drive a royal blue car with big shiny rims that's pretty damn noticeable. Do they know where I stay? Do they know where I work?" I yelled in fear.

"No they don't, but what you need to do is park your car somewhere far and get a hoopty, I got a extra nine in my car you can get that and keep it under the drivers seat and you need a second phone".

"A second phone for what?" I asked

"Just in case one of them happens to get your number, you'll be able to hurry and cut it off before they try to track you down" he said

"Erik? How do you know all I this? I mean when we were dating you weren't like this"

"Tay I been a dopeboy before you met me, I just had to get street smart too"

"But what time do I have to do all this, I do have school and work tomorrow, how am I supposed to drive around without being scared they won't pop up on me?"

"Tonight" he spat

"Tonight what?"

"You do all this tonight, don't worry about it I got the hook up"

"Erik what the fu-" I tried to finish before he pulled out his phone to make some calls

"Hello? Aye bruh you still got that Mazda? Yea the all black one? Oh yea alright koo, you at the crib I'll come by right now to get it. Cash... Alright bruh" he said hanging up
