Thug With Benefits

All's Good in the Hood...For Now

A/N

I'm going to start a new thing, called 'Unasked Questions'! I'm going to ask you a question, and they really won't have anything to do with what will happen with the story, but I just wanted to ask the question, also, I'M NOT ENDING THE STORY ANY TIME SOON. I just had to clarify, because people were about to skin me alive on the last chapter.

QUESTION: If a character was to die and you had to choose who it would be, who would you want it to be?

Reyna

As we were riding down the highway, I decided to call King.

*Phone Call*

Me: Hey babe

King: Wassup

Me: Just wanted to call my baby!

King: Oh yeah, that's funny. I missed you too, Reyna, when you get home we REALLY need to talk. Now I have to go, okay?

*Phone Convo Over*

I got off the phone with a smile on my face, but something didn't feel right, like I had a sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach. I brushed it off as my mind playing tricks. I mean, I wasn't about to jinx this, I just want to be normal for as long as I can. You feel me?

Also, I don't want to tell King this, but I'm going to tell you readers and let you in on a little secret. I know that I said I felt as though I wanted to be with King, but, I don't know if he wants me as bad as I want him. Like, he says he loves me, but he screws me over. I end up crying, and disappearing and bad stuff happens. My life has been turned upside down since I met him. I'm not saying I'm going to disappear again but, I want to take things slow with him. We have children now, and I have to look out for them as best as possible. They can't have either one of us, in and out of their lives. I refuse to hurt them that way. I just want to explore and live my life. Yet, If I do stay, I don't want him to feel trapped. And don't even get me started on how I'm going to handle the drug game. I think I just may have to never tell them what I do as an occupation. Yup, that works... For now. I drove over to O.G.- , I mean my dad's house, and thought maybe he would be home, but the only person there was my aunt, his sister, she played with the twins and insisted that I let them spend the night at the house, so that I could have some 'me' time. I decided to just give in and say 'yes', so that she would stop pestering me. Then I left and continued to run errands, I guess King will just have to wait.

Kennedy

I sat with my new found father and ate dinner. We had took him home and he changed then I decided to take him to red lobster, cause I was hungry as hell and was eager to actually know him. "What were your plans for when we were growing up?" I asked curious as to how different my life would be. "Well, I was trying to get out the game before you and Reyna were 3 that way, Rell and Kell would only slightly remember it and you and Reyna would vaguely remember it. I didn't want you subjected to that lifestyle. After you allegedly died, I broke down and forgot about every dream and ambition I ever had, then I just started slanging harder and harder. I was a warrior for the game, honored, feared, idolized, yet I had nobody, absolutely nobody to share my wealth with." he said, with his voice slowly getting lower and lower. fighting back tears. I felt bad for the man, I mean we all have been suffering for years and years at the hands of those bastards I called parents. "Wait, sorry to interrupt but, what the hell happened to our mom?!" I asked excitedly, I guess I overlooked that Shantii wasn't our actual mother. "Ahh, Kennedy, I don't know, after the 'accident' they said everyone died. Obviously that isn't the case, but I guess I can try and find her. It will be hard though, because last time, I tried looking for her, it took me five years and a lot of dead ends" he explained. "I don't care about anything, I'm willing to search. I just have to get some stuff handled and we can leave in about 2 weeks or so." I interrupted, he nodded and a plan was being formed.
