Having A Thug

Chapter 11

"What?" I said getting up and looking through the house calling Tracy name.



"Ricko she's gone." I heard my mama yell.





I went back to the living room and looked at her.



"Where did she go? Why she leave? Her a** can't be leaving like that. What if she get into some shit? Huh? Then what she gone do?" I said.




"Look first off you need to watch yo mouth in my house. Now come sit down." My mama said and i sat down. I was actually kind of pissed off that Tracy would just up and leave and didn't bother calling me.



"She left because she said she couldn't be around all that thug shit. But really I kind of don't blame her." My mama said.



"So now you taking her side?"



"Ricko stop acting like that! She has a fucking two year old son. If anything happens to that boy, you have no idea what Tracy would do."



"Well if she felt that way she shouldn't have said she wanted to be with me. I told her I was in the game and she said she didn't care."



"You know what. Let me make me something clear. Us women don't know what we 100% want until we think about it. We think about how our life might turn out with this person, if he's the one. And I think that's probably what she's doing. Give her some time and maybe she'll come around. If she don't then you know your answer to if y'all was meant to be."

I let her words sink in. She might be right. I gave my mama a hug and left. Damn I need to get my mind off of this. Fuck it I'm bout to go do what I do best.








TRACY POV



I left early this morning from Rosey house but told her why I was leaving. I think she understood where I was coming from. I might be wrong for not telling Ricko but he'll get around it. I'll talk to him, I just need to think for a while. I don't care about him being a thug, i care about my son being around all that he do.





When I left I called my mama.



"Hello."


"Hey mama."



"Hey, how you doing?"



"I'm doing good, it's just they had a sewer leak or whatever at my apartment and the smell is really really bad."



"Ugh I hate those. Well your dad and I got a spare key to our house. You can stay there until they get the problem fixed. The key is in the biggest plant by the front door."



"i Thought dad said y'all lost it."

"Your dad did, i found it and told him that. Bless his heart, he getting old."

" Ok, thanks mama. But how's Gram Gram doing?" I said and I heard her sigh.

"She's not doing too good, she won't eat, move, speak." My eyes watered up. Just thinking about my Gram Gram going through this makes me sad. I would hate to see her go because Gram Gram has always been there for me. When I graduated, found out I was pregnant, ran away, and gave birth. I mean she was always there.


"That's horrible. She'll get through it. We just need to pray ok?"



"I know. Well I have to go. Yo daddy trying to cook and I think he burning the water." She's said making me laugh. I told her ok then hung up the phone.




I headed to my apartment to get some more clothes then went to my mama house. I got Jaheim and the stuff then went to the front door. I could not find this key in this plant.



"Great hiding spot huh?." I mumbled to myself. After three minutes I finally found the key. I smelled like soil, ugh.


I unlocked the door and Jaheim walked in while I grabbed the stuff and went in too.





2 DAYS LATER (SATURDAY)




I got up and handled my hygiene. Jaheim was still sleep so I was bored. I thought about calling Ricko but I was scared to. Im kind of disappointed he didn't call me.





I just looked at his name in my contact list. "What do I have to lose?" I said and I called him.
He didn't answer. I called him twice and still didn't answer. Ok, maybe I'll just call one more time and that's it.




I called his phone and someone answered it but it wasn't Ricko. It was some female.



"Umm lil ms.Tracy Ricko is busy handling some business, if you know what I mean." She said all stanky and ghetto then she laughed at herself.



"And who the fuck are you?" I asked her.




"His girlfriend. The one you met at his door. Now you need to stop calling his phone, i don't appreciate you calling my man."




"Bitch--" I said but before I could finish I heard Ricko in the background.



"Aye who the fuck you talking to on my phone?"

"Yo lil wanna be girlfriend."

"What I tell you about touching my phone see that's that---"

Before he can finish the phone hung up.




So this whole time he been saying he want to be with me and saying that ain't his girl, he still been messing with her. How could I be so stupid to fall for this?



"Imma get his a**." I mumbled to myself. I heard Jaheim call my name from the other room so I went to go get him, helped him brush his teeth and made him some oatmeal. (That's his favorite).




I kept thinking and I forgot I didn't have a baby sitter to watch Jaheim tonight while I go to work. My thoughts was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. I opened it and it was my mama best friend/ neighbor. Maybe she can watch him




"Hey Ms.Jones." I said giving her a hug. Ms.Jones was the nicest person you could ever meet.



"Hey sweetheart. I saw your car out front and I just wanted to see how you were doing." She said coming in and I closed the door.


"I'm doing good. How about you?"



"I'm doing great. Awee look at this cutie pie." She said walking over to Jaheim.


"Say hi Jaheim." I told him and he waved saying hi in his cute voice.



"He is so cute. Whenever you need a babysitter, you can always call me. I would love to watch him."


"I'm so glad you said that. I have work tonight and I need a babysitter."



"You can bring him over before you go to work and I'll watch him."


"Thank you so much. I'll come get him right when I get off work." I said hugging her.


"You welcome. Well let me go. My casserole is in the oven and I need to check on it. Bye." She said leaving and I closed and locked the door behind her.

LATER THAT NIGHT




After taking Jaheim to Ms.Jones house, I went to work. I grabbed my stuff out the car and went in to the dressing room.



"Hey girl how you doing?" I asked Synïa when I walked in the dressing room.



"I'm great but I'm nervous. Ronald came in here and said we dancing for V.I.P. tonight but if I don't do a good job that's my job." She said.



"You'll do good I'm sure. Otherwise he wouldn't have told you to do it."



"Yeah you right." She said and I went to get dress, do my hair and my make up. Man was I looking bad. I heard them calling me and Synïa on to the stage. I quickly looked at my butt in the mirror and we went on the stage. You wouldn't believe who was performing.




AUGUST ALSINA!!!



He was fine. I mean fine but he don't have nothing on my baby Future. August started singing his song Work and let me tell you. I was WORKIN. I started shaking my a**, making it clap and doing tricks. I was lost in the moment cuz I was feeling the music. When it was over I walked off stage and started walking around the club giving lap dances.



Synïa said she needed go and when she left, Ronald said I needed to get back on stage cuz there was no one going up. Shit more money for me.




I heard sirens meaning I was going up and dudes got they stack out and ready. I got on stage as they played CLAPPERS BY WALE. And I was making it clap. I got on the pole and started doing the boomerang, the corkscrew, the caterpillar, the Gemini, the Scorpio, and the seated thigh hold. I was trying to make as much money as I can and I did. I collected my money and got off stage to put it up.


I was walking around the club again and I just had to see Ricko in there and he was with one of the other strippers all hugged up.





I ignored it but his friend beside him was motioning me to come there so I did. I could tell Ricko was looking at me.



"Can I get a lap dance?" His friend asked me over the loud music.


"Sure." I told him glancing at Ricko and he looked like he was getting mad. But I wasn't gone turn it down. I MEAN WHO TURNS DOWN MONEY? I did feel bad because it was his friend but still he all hugged up with Keisha (Stripper name Mz.Chocolate).




"Pedro chill out." Ricko said before I started dancing.




"What? It's just a dance." The dude or as I should say, Pedro said.



"Yeah it's just a dance." I told him and I started dancing feeling the music, next thing I know Ricko pulled me away from Pedro.



"I'm taking you home." He said.


"No you not. I'm working." I said.


"Matter fact I don't want you working here. It makes me mad seeing all these dudes staring at yo a** like that. Then you giving my homeboys lap dances and shxt."



"So what. From the looks of how you and Mz.Chocolate was, it seem like I'm doing me and you doing you."



"Look here, I'm not the one who fucking walked out." He said raising his voice and people started looking at us.



"And since I did walk out you decided to get the next girl at your house? i don't remember calling it off."


His face was priceless, he knew exactly what I was talking about.



"I'm done with this." I told him walking off. And to think I was actually going to commit.
